Showing an image only at certain hours

[a.niedermann]

Hey There!!

 

I would like to implement a call us for free button. Now the problem is that the button should be only visible on our site on business hours.

 

It would be great if anybody has a solution for this!

 

Thanks,

Andreas

<?
$current_time = date(G);
if ($current_time >= 8 && $current_time < 16) {
echo tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'phone_support.gif', 'now open for your calls');
}
?>

 

Remember that this takes the server time, so it must be set to your local time, or you have to change the hours in the script....

Hey Hellas!

 

Thanks a lot! Is there any way of including the days (button should also not show on saturday and sunday)

I don't know what your level of PHP is but I'd find the code for the button and put it so it's inside and if statement and use something like fate('G'); to find the hour and compare it to your buisness hours. You'd just have to watch that it compensates.

 

I would write the code if I had time.

 

Hope that helps anyway.

php knowledge very limited, so no, unfortunately I have no clue what you are trying to tell me :(

<?
$current_time = date(G);
$current_day = date(D);
if ($current_time >= 8 && $current_time < 16 && $current_day != 'Sat' && $current_day != 'Sun') {
echo tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'phone_support.gif', 'now open for your calls');
}
?>

 

Holidays as well?

Great Hellas :) !!

 

Yes, if possible, holidays (Switzerland) as well...

 

Thanks a lot! Andreas

Have a look at the php date function, with the above example you must be able to figure out a lot.

 

For testing the regional settings of your server (time , day) you can build a test.php file, place it on your server and add a line

<?php echo 'Hour: ' . date(G) . ' Day: ' . date(D); ?>

 

Tip: For your holidays you could use the weeknumbers...

Thanks a lot Hellas!!

 

One question remains. The callus code comes from jajah.com and is a pre defined link....since my knowledge is limited I do not really know how to implement your code to the jajah.com predefined one...it would be great if you could help me with it!

 

Jajah predefined code:

<a href="http://www.jajah.com/mini?pid=E7D5BC7A&ShowReg=1&ShowLogin=1&title=company&d=0041813301675" onclick="(window.open('http://www.jajah.com/mini?pid=E7D5BC7A&ShowReg=1&ShowLogin=1&title=company&d=0041813301675',null,'menubar=no,height=230,width=230')).focus();return false;"><img src="http://www.numis-online.ch/images/callus.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>

$current_time = date(G);

<a href="http://www.jajah.com/mini?pid=E7D5BC7A&ShowReg=1&ShowLogin=1&title=company&d=0041813301675" onclick="(window.open('http://www.jajah.com/mini?pid=E7D5BC7A&ShowReg=1&ShowLogin=1&title=company&d=0041813301675',null,'menubar=no,height=230,width=230')).focus();return false;"><img src="http://www.numis-online.ch/images/callus.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
<?php } ?>

 

Remember: Linking to an external image will produce a ssl certificate error for the ssl pages (if applies).

@ Hellas

 

Last question. Is it also possible to include a lunchbreak?? (from 12-13)

 

Thanks! Andreas

[oschellas]

Just add following in the if() statement

 

&& $current_time != 12

 

Could I apply for phone operator job? I see I would have lots of free time :lol:

[a.niedermann]

:) true, true....but as I see you are from Greece and as my common understanding is as a person from Switzerland, you are drinking more ouzo than working :)

 

Thanks again for your help!!!
