Hide Offer shown in fragments/products/sections ie. [Expiry date<system date]

[Phil H]

I wanted to create a method of removing/hiding fragments/products/sections showing discount offers in the event that 'todays date' is after a pre determined date set in the properties.

How do i get the system date in SellerDeck?

e.g. in a layout or block statement...

hide If predetermined date is 2019017< [todays date]

Any thoughts?

There is something similar in this post - https://community.sellerdeck.com/for...d-on-date-time

Haven't got time to look at it now but I may get a chance later.

Hi Goz,

I had spotted that one also but thank you anyway. I am looking at it with a view to tweaking Norman's really helpful post, to fit in with what we would like to do. Thanks,

PS if anyone has any bright ideas or suggestions, do let me know.

There are two quite different ways that this can be done.

1) On the SellerDeck desktop when a site Upload is being done by using a PHP intrinsic function within a BlockIf.

E.g. Do different things before and after a certain date (in this case yyyymmdd 20190118):

<actinic:block if="date%28%22Ymd%22%29%20%3e%3d%2020190118" >
    On or after 20190118
</actinic:block>

<actinic:block if="date%28%22Ymd%22%29%20%3c%2020190118" >
    Before 20190118
</actinic:block>

Best not to upload your site just before midnight as the date may be different for some products.

2) On the web page using JavaScript like my post re delivery cutoff time mentioned above.
However hiding products via browser JavaScript may be a bad idea as they will still show on the Search, Section Pages, etc.

Hi Norman,

The ability to 'Thank you' seems to have gone. I have liked your post instead but please consider yourself very much thanked.
