Yes, at a glance, that should generally do the trick.

Let me know how it goes

1. Yes, the on time and off time both need to be specified.
2. Unfortunately not. It will work based on when the page was loaded, so once it loads, if the test is showing, it will keep showing until the person closes the page, or refreshes it.

Not in the way that you describe. What you’re wanting to do is based on relative time, whereas this plugin works on absolute time (a specific point in time, rather than a time relative to an event, like someone visiting a specific web page).

a) The end of year overlap should work just fine
b) Maybe to get around this, turn the content off at 00:00:01 on March the 1st.
c) Yes, the else text will show twice. To avoid this, create two more scheduled (Aug 1 – Sep 30, and Mar 1 – Mar 31) for the off times and don’t use the else attribute.

Try something like this:

[time-restrict-repeat type="daily" ontime="09:00:00" offtime="17:00:00"]
[time-restrict-repeat-2 type="weekly" onday="Monday" offday="Friday"]
TEXT 1
[/time-restrict-repeat-2]
[/time-restrict-repeat][time-restrict-repeat type="daily" ontime="17:00:00" offtime="09:00:00"]
[time-restrict-repeat-2 type="weekly" onday="Sunday" offday="Thursday"]
TEXT 2
[/time-restrict-repeat-2]
[/time-restrict-repeat][time-restrict-repeat type="weekly" onday="Friday" offday="Monday" ontime="17:00:00" offtime="09:00:00"]
TEXT 2
[/time-restrict-repeat]

That’s a good suggestion. Thanks – I’ll bear it in mind next time I update the plugin

Hi Cecilia,

This would have to be within your video player. It’s not something that a plugin like this could achieve.

Yes, you just have to specify what 15 minutes it shows for (e.g. 10:15-10:30, or 08:11-08:26).

I’m glad you figured out the previous issue. As for setting it up for bank holidays, there’s not currently a way to list a set of days that you want to show/hide something throughout the year. Your best bet is to set it up for the next holiday and then set a reminder to change it for each upcoming holiday.

Hi,

It hasn’t been updated in a while, but that’s because it just continues to work. If an issue arises, I’ll be sure to update the plugin.

Thanks

You would need to combine shortcodes for each instance. For example, your first condition: Monday-Thursday, 11-3

[time-restrict-repeat type="weekly" onday="Monday" offday="Thursday"]
[time-restrict-repeat-2 type="daily" ontime="11:00:00" offtime="15:00:00"]
OPEN
[/time-restrict-repeat-2]
[/time-restrict-repeat]

Repeat with modified days and times for all subsequent conditions.

Hi Gavin,

I apologise: I don’t seem to have your other support request that you mentioned. Why don’t you email me at help|at|theukedge.com and I’ll see what I can do.

Thanks

Everything seems to be in good order. To me, it seems as though you want one message for one part of the month and another for another part of the month (no overlap). The way you have the dates written though, on the 22nd and the 1st of the month, there will be two messages, since the on time defaults to 00:00:00 if not defined and the offtime defaults to 23:59:59 if not defined. Therefore, you should either bring your on date forward one day (23, 02), or bring your off day back one day (31, 21).

Let me know if that was the issue.

Jase,

You can do this by nesting shortcodes. The first one will only allow content to appear between Wednesday and Sunday. The ones inside will only show content from 11-2 and then 5-9 each day. Since they’re contained within the first shortcode, it won’t appear Mon-Tues:

[time-restrict-repeat type="weekly" onday="Wednesday" offday="Sunday"][time-restrict-repeat-2 type="daily" ontime="11:00:00" offtime="14:00:00"]The store is open[/time-restrict-repeat-2][time-restrict-repeat-2 type="daily" ontime="17:00:00" offtime="21:00:00"]The store is open[/time-restrict-repeat-2][/time-restrict-repeat]

Let me know if that doesn’t do the trick.

Jase,

I see that you have opened your own thread, which is the correct thing to do (you shouldn’t jump on the back of another thread). I’ll respond there.

Thanks
