Good morning/afternoon/evening*

Legacy Dynamo

Dear friends,

I’m looking for a way to be able to show a greeting online depending on what the time is. So when its 09:00 hrs it would say ‘good morning’, on 14:00 hrs it would say good afternoon, etc …

Anyone an idea how to do this? Any help is much appreciated.

Best regards, Richard

Hi Richard,
Try this. Simply copy and paste into where you want it to appear in your Freeway layout (Insert > Markup Item);

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
var today = new Date ()
var hrs = today.getHours();
if (hrs <= 12)
        document.write("Good Morning");
else if (hrs <= 18)
        document.write("Good Afternoon");
else
     document.write("Good Evening");
// -->
</script>
<noscript>Hello!</noscript>

Play with the numbers to get the greeting you want at the right time.
The script was pulled from here; Cut & Paste Greetings Script
The noscript block just makes sure that something gets written to the page even if JS is switched off in the browser.
Regards,
Tim.

There are also php + includes scripts for random, or day-of-the-week,
month, year, etc., content.

Yes there are many ways to do this sort of thing; JavaScript, SSI, PHP etc but I tend to advocate using JavaScript simply because it will give you the client time rather than the server time really easily. You can do it using PHP but it is a bit hit and miss as you’d have to figure out where the user is in the world based on their IP address.
