Hi. I'm not a html/php coder so I thought I'd ask here.

Is there a way to code a block so that it's contents only show in a specific time frame? I have a banner, but I'd only like it to show on Mondays between 7pm and 11pm. Is this possible? Here's what I have now (BBC block).

Code Select

[center][color=red][size=3][b]Itchdog is currently live on the air!![/b][/size][/color][/center]

I don't mean recoding Tinyportal, but making a html/php script in the actual block that will ignore the contents unless it's during that time frame.

Code Select

<html>If the time date is outside (time/date) then ignore the rest of this block</html>

You could try this in a PHP block. Set block to "Do not use title/frame styles" and "Do not allow block to collapse"

I've set the day and time for you, but you'll need to add your image link at the bottom.

Code Select

// --- SETTINGS ---
$target_day = 1;   // 0=Sunday, 1=Monday, 2=Tuesday... 6=Saturday
$start_time = "19:00";
$end_time   = "23:00";

// --- CURRENT DATE/TIME ---
$now = new DateTime("now", new DateTimeZone("Europe/London"));
$current_day = (int)$now->format("w");
$current_time = $now->format("H:i");

// --- CHECK ---
if ($current_day === $target_day && $current_time >= $start_time && $current_time < $end_time) {
    echo '<img src="https://your-image-url-here.jpg" alt="Scheduled Image">';
}
