Help Appreciated | Modify Code Snippet to Add Holidays

@generosus I am not sure if I follow why conditional text could not do the same here – or this along with the recent Shortcode:

[open_special]
[open_text]
<h2>Holiday opening hours</h2>
<p>
%if_open% <span class="special-open">We are currently open</span> 
%else% <span class="special-closed">Closed today</span> 
%end%
</p>
[/open_text]
[/open_special]

This is a simplified version – you can add more parameters to the open_special Shortcode that will extend it.

Hi @designextreme,

Wow! Thanks for the quick reply.

Not expert coders here, but are definitely trying to come up with a conditional that can be added to the above code snippet without using the shortcodes you provided.

The modification would also have to include a function and/or array (?) where we can enter our specific holiday dates.

Makes sense?

Again, thank you!

PS: We tried to integrate portions of the code provided here, but couldn’t get them to work.

@generosus Thanks for your suggestion, but I’m unsure why this is posted in the plugin’s support forum as it doesn’t relate to the plugin’s functionality, rather how to avoid using it.

If you want to simply source the data – please use the following PHP code and apply the logic from there:

<?php

// This code should be placed/called within functions.php or similar

$regular = get_option('we_are_open_regular', array()); // Array of regular opening hours
$special = get_option('we_are_open_special', array()); // Array of special opening hours

// Do things with the arrays

Hi @designextreme,

That was helpful. Thank you. We solved our issue. See below (added new code, in bold).

Cheers!

add_shortcode('business_hours', 'business_hours_shortcode'); 

@generosus Thanks for your code. However, I’m not sure this is a good home for this as it entirely side-steps anything offered by the We’re Open! plugin.
