A Pro member of our site asks:
Using bricks + Meta, conditionally show a post listing under 3 different conditions, based on the Current Date and Time… Would like to keep it simple, and use Radio for 3 options 1) Display Listing 24/7 2) Display during call center Hours (9-6EST) Monday To Friday 3) Display Only Monday To Friday (Hours not a concern)
This Pro tutorial shows how we can control the rendering of an element (a Top Banner Section in this example) depending on the value of a radio custom field on a Settings page when using Meta Box in Bricks.
- 24/7: If this is selected, the banner will be shown (output) all the time.
- Monday To Friday 9 am - 6 pm: If this is selected, the banner will be shown only during the weekdays between 9am and 6pm.
- Monday To Friday anytime: If this is selected, the banner will be shown only during weekdays (anytime)
- When no option is selected, the banner will not be output.
