Show message at a specific date

[JamesBen08]

Hello everyone ,

 

I would like to add on .tpl a message to appear on a specific date .

 

For example if i want to write an "Happy New Year Message" between the 01/01/19 and 03/01/19 on product.tpl

 

I tried using

{if ($smarty.now|date_format:'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S' <= 2019-01-03 00:00:00)  && ($smarty.now|date_format:'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S' >= 2018-12-31 23:59:00) }   

But it is not working ( i tried with a proper date of course 🤣)

 

 

Any idea ?

Thanks in advance

Do it in the product Controller file and assign a flag to the tpl. In the flag is 1 you print a message on the tpl file.

It's surely too late for JamesBen08 but if you have v 1.7.8.x and take into account that 'date_format' produces a string then

{if ($smarty.now|date_format:'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S' > '2022-12-15 00:00:00') && ($smarty.now|date_format:'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S' < '2023-01-02 00:00:00')}
...
{/if}

will do in my template for christmas season.
