text varied depending on time of day possible?

Postby cmhardwick on Wed Apr 18, 2007 1:05 am

Is it possible to have text in a box be conditional upon the time of day? I'd like the weather outlook to be %detailedoutlook% from say 5am to 5pm then switch to %detailednightoutlook% for the night's forcast.

I guess nobody either does this or knows how. It would be a nice feature though :D

I guess you can do it using XEvent plugin.
with this plugin you can program the release of a specific event, look at there : http://www.xlobby.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=15334

Thanks. I think that will work. I can do either a set button text or show/hide button and have both boxes there. I'll play around with this. I KNEW someone here had to have a solution :D

installed and tested, which works. Now to see how it does over the next few days, and to fine tune as to when weather.com actually switches. There's some point where the day forecast disappears.

THANKS DGEMILY!!!!
