[Gelöst] Condition with a date function

Hello,

I need to allow the ADD TO CART button on the product page only between 2 specific dates.
For this, I have created 2 custom fields (wpcf-date-debut-inscription-site and wpcf-date-fin-inscription-site) enabling date and time.
These custom fields are linked to a specific postype (variables) and I have created a post (ID 18207) in order to define these dates.
I have also created 2 hooks :

function date_debut_ins( ) {
$id_va = 18207;
$datedebut = get_post_meta($id_va, 'wpcf-date-debut-inscription-site', true );
return $datedebut;
}
  add_shortcode( 'date-debut-ins', 'date_debut_ins' );

function date_fin_ins( ) {
$id_va = 18207;
$datefin = get_post_meta($id_va, 'wpcf-date-fin-inscription-site', true );
return $datefin;
}
  add_shortcode( 'date-debut-ins', 'date_fin_ins' );

and have declareded these function in the Toolset frontend parameter.
Now, I want to define the output condition like this :

[wpv-conditional if="( date_debut_ins() lte 'SECONDS_FROM_NOW(0)' ) AND ( date_fin_ins() gt 'SECONDS_FROM_NOW(0)' )"] [wpv-woo-buy-options]
[/wpv-conditional]

but it seems that the result of the function is a strtotime date number and I don't how what is needed for the condition output in this case.

Can you help please?
Regards
Pat

Hi Pat

First, an observation.

You have registered the function date_debug_ins as a callback for a shortcode, but you don't use the shortcode inside your condition, you use the function directly, so declaring the shortcode seems redundant.

If these fields are Types date fields then, yes, they are stored as timestamps (number of seconds since 1 Jan 1970).

In your condition you are comparing them to SECONDS_FROM_NOW(0). I'm not entirely sure what this is, or what format it returns, but in any case if your intention is to compare them to the current date/time then you can simply use the native PHP function time(), which will return the current date/time as a timestamp (i.e. the same format that Types date fields are stored in).

Hi Nigel,

As I already had a shortcode ([post-today]) giving the current date / time in a strotime format, I have modified my condition like this :

[wpv-conditional if="( date_debut_ins() lte [post-today] ) AND ( date_fin_ins() gt [post-today] )"] [wpv-woo-buy-options] [/wpv-conditional]

Everything is fine now.
Thanks
Pat
