Notices: Time Range Criteria (based upon Server Time) · **Released**: 05-06-2008

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

RESERVED for future use!

You should add the following:

Use AM/PM or 24-Hours
Use Server Time or User Time

Otherwise it is good.

You mean give the option to use 24 hr or AM/PM? Yeah, should be possible, although it would clutter up the Notice line a bit, dontcha think?

Yeah, User time is on the to-do list, working on my other mod currently though.

I like this a LOT. Would it be possible to also add an option for days. I run a website for a radio DJ so wouldn't mind a notice option to say show between Monday and Friday.

Thanks Wired1 for useful hack, which should be a default vb option with the other hack for day of the week.

1. How could I know the server time now? so that I build my notice based on this calculation. (I am only guessing now).

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

Thanks in advance,,

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
