Add-on Time Based Addon Activation/Deactivation

[Sperber]

Hi folks,

does anyone know about an Addon, that activates and/or deactivates other addons on base of a pre-set time? May be you´ll ask yourself, how that should work and what purpose this should serve. In our case (a soccer board) we have a chat and we want to close it down while the soccer matches are running (generating more content in the forums instead in the chat) every saturday from x:xx PM to y:yy PM, even when we´re not online.

Anyone ever seen an addon that is capable of doing that? Or anyone willing to code one ($)?

Great, Nobita! Knew it that it has to be something out there

@Nobita.Kun, is this working with the latest xf version? It only states 1.3 as last version.

Edit: and unfortunal it isn´t available at your site.. ^^

Could you not do this with a template edit around the lines of code that display the chatbox?

 

[Sperber]

Of course I could - but may be you´ve noticed that even the title of this thread says it´s about time based de-/activation...

I did notice and you also have access to both the date and the time in the templates, hence why I suggested it. Thanks for bolding it though, that made it very helpful.
