Title: Block with time restrictions
Post by: ehsizzup on September 02, 2010, 05:31:02 PM

Is there a block that only shows at specific times of day?

There is no such block, however you could alter the block show system so that certain blocks are shown only at certain times of the day.

The place I would add such code is in the Sources/Subs-Portal.php file, in the 'getBlockInfo' function, before the code below:

Code: [Select]

if (!empty($show) && !getShowInfo($row['id_block'], $row['display'], $row['display_custom']))
continue;
If you need help with the actual code which needs to be added, then feel free to ask.
