Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Notices: Time Range Criteria (based upon Server Time)

With this Product, a new criteria is added to the Notice Edit screen. Under "Display this notice if...", you will see an option that asks for a start and an end time for a notice to be displayed. NOTE: this is based upon your SERVER time, not the end user's time, and is based upon a 24 hour clock (no AM / PM here).

To Install:
1) Save the attached product-timecriteria.xml file.
2) Navigate to AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> [Add/Import Product]
3) Browse to wherever you saved the file.
4) Allow Overwrite -> Yes.
5) Import!


If you would like a version of this mod based upon USER time, please speak up, and I'll make it Heck, I'll probably make it anyways

Version History:
1.0.0 - Initial Release
1.0.1 - Changed to clarify Server Time

If you're using this product, you may be interested in a similar product of mine: Notices: Day Criteria (based upon Server Time Zone). Using both products you could have notices show up from 9-5, M-F for instance

Wired,

I'm trying to modify this to add in a "member for X days" option. Do you think that would be a simple change of where it looks for the variable (instead of TIMENOW, use [joindate])?

NOTE: This mod is not marked for re-use, so doing that would be against the TOS of this forum. Aside from that, no, that wouldn't work exactly like that.

I've got a notice working for if someone has been a member for X number of days, if you want I'll throw it up.

I would looooooove a notice like that! Great for forums where a member should "do something" after a certain number of days.

You can use it in 2 different ways. Say it's 30 days. You can enter that in, and the notice will only show up for that one day. If you check the box, it will keep on showing up past that.

2. Also the vb option (by date) should be a range not an exact date,
could you do a hack for that please.

reminder,,

[Wired1]

So for example, from 5-26-08 to 5-28-08? Ya, that's doable. I'll look into it this weekend.

a reminder,

also for this hack could you:
1. display server time (beside the option) and +/- GMT ? and
2. put a new field for offset, so that we put our time and the offset to server time.

Thanks for your great job Wired1.
