UDT that outputs the current season
Previous article Next articleAt our community website I made a header with a changing photo of our village and the surrounding area. I made four folders with photos, one for each season. With a User Defined Tag I read the date and determine what season it is and set it in a Smarty string. With that I change the output of the photo gallery path.
In the CMSMS forum we discussed a similar UDT, I improved the code and will show it to you here.
How to use
Create a new UDT with the name "season" and the content:
season
date_default_timezone_set('UTC');$limits = array (
'/12/21'=>'winter',
'/09/21'=>'autumn',
'/06/21'=>'summer',
'/03/21'=>'spring',
'/01/01'=>'winter');
foreach ( $limits as $key => $value ) {
$limit = date('Y') . $key;
if ( time() >= strtotime($limit) ) return $value;
}
You can use this UDT in your page or template like:
<img src="{uploads_url}/images/{season}.jpg" alt="It is {season}!" />
<div class="{season}"></div>
{Gallery dir="header-photos/{season}" action='showrandom' number='1' template='header'}
Working example
Code:
<p>The current season is: <b>{season}</b></p>
Output:
The current season is: autumn
