Add php function

[m3w]

Hello,

i need to add a php function in my footer.tpl to show a div after a specific date.

For example, the div called "topbar" should appear after the date 21 Octobre 12:00:00

 

This the php code:

if (time() >= strtotime('October 21, 2013 12:00:00 GMT')) {
echo "<div class="topbar">my message</div>";
}

I've read that with smarty you can't paste the code inside a tpl, and the function {php} is deprecate, so how can i figured out?

 

Any help would be appreciated

 

Thanks

Hello,
try
 

{if ($smarty.now >= strtotime('October 21, 2013 12:00:00 GMT'))}
  <div class="topbar">my message</div>
{/if}

you can't use php code in smarty template files (tpl)

so it's better to use smarty syntax exactly as  jgullstr suggested above

  <div class="topbar">my message</div>

  <div class="topbar">my message</div>
{/if}

 

i've tried this:

 {if ($smarty.now|date_format:"%B %e, %Y %H:%M:%S" >= strtotime('October 21, 2013 12:00:00 GMT'))}

 

but seems wrong 'cause the div didn't show up... any advice?

I'm not certain I understand what you're trying to do. You shouldn't use any date formatting in the condition.

If i use this code:

{if ($smarty.now >= strtotime('October 21, 2013 12:00:00 GMT'))}
  <div class="topbar">my message</div>
{/if}

the div don't show up, so i thought it was a problem of the date format.

 

I need that the div topbar be visibile after 21th october and be hidden again on the 28 october. Any ideas?

Thanks

Ok, i've solved like this:

{if (strtotime('October 22, 2013 13:28:00 GMT') <= $smarty.now && strtotime('October 28, 2013 13:35:00 GMT') >= $smarty.now) }
