Limiting the display of an image to certain times of the day with CF?
Hi In Coldfusion can you restrict the display of a certain image for only certain times of the day? For example only display the image before 8pm 12pm-2pm and after 5pm on the site homepage If so any ideas on the best way to achieve this?

Wrap it up in a CFIF or CFCASE statement. cfset currentHour = timeformat(now(),'hh') cfif currentHour gte '08' and currentHour lt '12' cfset imagetoDisplay = 'morning.png' cfelseif currentHour gte 12 and currentHour lt 5 cfset imagetoDisplay = 'afternoon.png' cfelse cfset imagetoDisplay = 'restoftheday.png' /cfif img src='images/#imagetoDisplay#' border=0 That should do it.

If so any ideas on the best way to achieve this? Simply use CFIF tag and now() function. You'll be able to generate or not any code whenever you need. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
