I was just wondering if it's possible to set a timer that enables an object to be visible between two dates and times (e.g. 0900 on one date and 2100 on the second date)?

I notice that the advanced date timer does not have an option to add a time of day. If this is not currently possible, maybe it could go on the wishlist.

I have an entry form on our camera club's website that needs to appear at 0900 the day after the last competition and disappear at 2100 on the Friday before the next competition to fit in with the club's rules, which is why I am specifically asking for this. I know that time will be server dependent, but all of our members are UK-based, so this won't be an issue. Similarly, I need a 'deadline passed' message to appear in its place from 2100 on the Friday through to 0900 of the following Wednesday.

By the way, do I still need two timer objects for a date range? I think I do, but just wanted to check. Or do I set the object's state as invisible and just have one timer to make it visible during that date range?

Thanks.

There is currently no option to set a date range with time. But it may be useful to have this.

I suggest to make the object initially hidden, so you only make it visible when the timer kicks in.

Hello!

It would be great to implement the possibility of adding a date to the timer. In my new project, it is necessary to display ads / news on the website according to a certain schedule (by day/week). I support the AliGW proposal!

@Victor

You can already add a date timer - it's one of the options. I am just asking for it to be more precise, with a start and end time included.

@Pablo

I think it would be nice to have. Could you please pop it onto the wishlist?

Thanks.

Yes, I understand!
I have added the proposal to the required section of the forum (to record the proposal in writing).

I know about the suggestions section, but Pablo said, "it may be useful to have this", so it's already on his RADAR. If something can be done easily, it's usually implemented within a day or two - the man is a machine!

Dear AliGW!
I noticed that Pablo (like a real gentleman) He responds much faster to your requests, and in general to the requests of women!
You've got it right - 1-2 days and a half, and you don't even need a timer .
Seriously, I can't help but wonder at Pablo's ability to work! Quick problem solving, excellent support on the forum, constant program updates (and Friday was a doubly joyful day for me, as there is almost always news from Pablo). I have deep respect for Pablo's obsession and dedication in creating the best website builder! And of course, many thanks to his team and other WWB users for their active participation in the community.

I don’t think that is the case. I try to respond to all posts with the same level of dedication and attention.

That said, there is a difference between requests that can be implemented quickly and features that may take weeks or even months to create.

I do receive a lot of requests, so unfortunately I cannot work on everything at the same time.

I think it was tongue-in-cheek, Pablo.

We all really appreciate everything you do. It's why I recommend the software whenever I can.

Would the following image as a extension be of use

That goes to ImageBB asking for payment ...

Is it supposed to link to something else?

If it's a paid extension, then I won't be interested, but thanks.

That's if you wish a hosting plan to store multiple images/go ad free whereas this will expires in one week.

No just for display only!

No it would be free but with your negatively I wouldn't share with you.

Of course, it was a joke. The emoticons I put on indicate this...

That's nice!

I'm not being negative. I am building the website for a club with limited funds, so extra payments would not be acceptable to them. But as I said, thanks anyway.

I worked for a couple of days with ChatGPT for many of the bumps I ran into and came up with the following code block...not an extension. But it works very well and offers a lot of variations.

There are a lot of comments in the code to help. I cannot provide support for this and it is being offered as is and without support.

Attached is a demo project. Can be run in preview, no need to publish. There are two pages. One uses a layer with a background image while the other uses text. What ever is placed within the layer will Show/Hide based on the date and times set.

If someone could convert this into an extension, that would be great.

Good Luck and reminder to check the comments so know where to set dates, time, time ranges, and the Layer object.

Thanks for sharing, Mitch.

I'm currently working on a simple extension that shows an object at a designated start date and hides at an end date based on comments hear in the forum. If someone is interested in testing, feel free to reach out to me at ron@wizbangwebdesign.com

@mitch,
I can take a shot at putting your code into an extension as it does offer a little extra than the one I was working on.
