Specifying a Delivery Cut-Off Time for Orders

[Hkanaris]

I have cut and pasted the relvant code and placed it on my primary template however it does't seem to work, anyone know what im doing wrong???

<script language=JavaScript>
now = new Date();
if ( now.getHours() >= 16.30 ) document.write('<font color=red>Warning
text here</font>');
</script>

Thanks

Hi there

Where did you get this code from?

Kind Regards

I wrote that. It's probably on the Forum somewhere. The only problems I see is that the getHours() function only returns the hour as an integer 0 .. 23 so comparing it to 16.30 won't work.

The problem may be that you've put the code in a place where it won't be displayed. As always an URL would help so we can see.

Try adding some normal text (I've also fixed your 16.30 requirement) e.g.

Can you see this
<script language=JavaScript>
<!--
now = new Date();
if ( (now.getHours() >= 17) || ( (now.getHours() == 16) && (now.getMinutes() >= 30) ) ) 
  {
  document.write('<font color=red>Warning text here</font>');
  }
//-->
</script>
and this.

Finally, all this depends on your clients having their PC's clocks set correctly.

I've been editing this while you posted a reply. So it would be best to revisit my posting above.

It's working fine. I see the message below BASKET DETAILS (only if I set my system clock past 4:30).

Great it works,

Thanks

is there a way of making it show a different message on saturdays and sundays.

ie. "your order will not ship untill Monday for delivery on tuesday"??

Jam on it, eh! Use the getDay() function which returns 0 .. 6 (Sunday .. Saturday).
