Hi,

I’am trying to show posts everyday but within a time range. For example, everyday at 1:00 pm, I want to have a particular post displayed and the day afterwards and it goes on. Anybody has a clue how we can test the time range, unfortunately we got the date field which adds the date. I just want the time/ Thanks

You’re going to have to use some php to do this. This function:

<?php
$time= localtime(time(), true);
?>

will output an array such as this:
Array
(
  [tm_sec] => 24
  [tm_min] => 3
  [tm_hour] => 19
  [tm_mday] => 3
  [tm_mon] => 3
  [tm_year] => 105
  [tm_wday] => 0
  [tm_yday] => 92
  [tm_isdst] => 1
)
From there in you could use conditionals to let post appear. But the whole idea strikes me as kind of weird in the first place.

thanks eman, in fact it’s for a radio website and on it’s front page, they want to display the program currently on air. Anyway I found another way to do it by using the stop_before parameter, and ‘fixing’ the date of the entry, ie. all entries in the weblog have the same date, for eg. 2007-01-01 but only the time differs, and in the template I just have to put :
stop_before=“2007-01-01 {current_time format="%g:%i %A"}”

thanks man

I see now why you’d need that 😊  Pretty slick solution also!
