Time is OK
hours_start : minutes_start – 00 : 00
hours_end : minutes_end – 01 : 15
hours_now : minutes_now – 1 : 09
Example 2
<txp:thg_if_time time_start="06 00" time_end="12 00" hours_offset="+2" delim=" ">
<p>Good morning, visitor!</p>
<txp:else />
<p>Good day, visitor!</p>
</txp:thg_if_time>This code will greet visitor with good morning, if current server time plus 2 hours is between 06 00 and 12 00. If time doesn’t match, general greeting will appear. Also, in this example hours and minutes are seaprated by space (” “).
Example 3
<txp:thg_if_time time_start="22-00" time_end="23-00" time_now="22-26" delim="-">
<p>Now is evening...</p>
<txp:else />
<p>This text will not appear!</p>
</txp:thg_if_time>Here manual setting of current time is used. else part of condition will not appear without regard to current server time. You can use this attr with attr debug to explore how this plugin works. Notice, that all times are set using custom delim.
