* New in version 1.3

- Improved and extended range handler for days of week within specific week on the month.
- The core has been moved to an external file for a faster navigation between pages.
- Minor code tweaks.

* New in version 1.2

- Multiple date/time-plan; it allows to have complex and variable plans to manage in the same instance the same set of objects.
- Time-plan (setup) / mode; this parameter can be "simple" (for backward compatibility - 1.1 and earlier) or "advanced" (1.2 or later).
- Optimized code and improved setup.

* New in version 1.1

- Opposite objects; this category allows to activate and deactivate additional objects that are out of the date/time plan.

* New in version 1.0.2

- Improved object handling.
- Improved/selectable objects activation mode (useful on advanced/complex scenarios).

* New in version 1.0.1

- Delayed redirection, letting time to activate/deactivate objects prior to load the target page.


How to use?

1. Design your page with all the elements you want to show.
2. Open the properties dialog box and setup the names of the objects that you want to show and hide.
3. In the same dialog box, setup the date and time plan.
4. For a smoother startup, it is advisable that you hide all the "timed objects" (via the Object Manager panel).
5. Preview or publish.

Enjoy!

Hi RZ

I purchased this great extension off you yesterday along with another one but all I receive in the email is a refund.

Can you please let me know what's happened to cause a refund.

I bought this extension in March this year and have an additional question.

How does Time Based Objects handles the timestamp I enter in the Time-plan (simple)? I edit my website in Portugal Timezone (UTC+00.00) Lissabon, etc but my website is hosted in the Netherlands Timezone (UTC+01:00) Amsterdam, etc.

If a want a change to occur on a specific date at 18:00 hours in the afternoon Lisbon time, is that the time I have to enter, or is it 17:00 hours?
