XF 2.2 UNIX Timestamp in Certain Templates

[jgaulard]

Hi,

I'm looking to add a UNIX timestamp to two templates:

bb_code_tag_attach

attachment_macros

I've tried the {$timestamp} and {$serverTime} variables with no luck. Does anyone know a variable I can use to add a timestamp to these two templates?

Thank you.

Jay

A timestamp for the current time...? $xf.time

Thank you for this. I do get the current timestamp, which is what I wanted, but for some reason, what I'm trying to do isn't working.

I'm attempting to write a conditional that says, if later than a certain date, then do this. If not, then do that.

<xf:if is="$xf.time < 1618588800 OR $xf.visitor.user_id">

I have no idea why it isn't working. It seems like it should.

That timestamp has elapsed, so I think you would want to use >.

The following works for me:

<xf:if is="$xf.time > 1618588800">
    {{ dump('test') }}
</xf:if>

Hi Jeremy,

Thank you so much for your help with this. I'm basically trying to say, if a photo has been uploaded to a post before this morning, then keep the clickable link active, but if it's been uploaded to a post after this morning, then strip away the anchor text. Here's my code:

<xf:if is="$xf.time < 1618588800 OR $xf.visitor.user_id">

<a class="file-preview {{ $canView ? 'js-lbImage' : '' }}" href="{$attachment.direct_url}" target="_blank">
<img src="{$attachment.thumbnail_url}" alt="{$attachment.filename}"
width="{$attachment.thumbnail_width}" height="{$attachment.thumbnail_height}" loading="lazy" />
</a>

<xf:else />
    
<span class="file-preview">
<img src="{$attachment.thumbnail_url}" alt="{$attachment.filename}"
width="{$attachment.thumbnail_width}" height="{$attachment.thumbnail_height}" loading="lazy" />
</span>

</xf:if>

I'm not sure if I'm missing something here.

Oh yeah, also, if the user is logged in, then keep the link active as well (all the time).

Then you would want to use the attachment timestamp ($attachment.attach_date) rather than the current timestamp. Do note that crafty users will still be able to determine the full attachment URL just by looking at the thumbnail URL, in case that is a concern.

Wow - that worked. Thanks Jeremy. This is exactly what I was looking for. I really appreciate your help.

I want a code similar to this too. My code will be like this.
The content should not appear from 23:00 until 09:00 in the morning.
Please write the query code for this

<xf:if is="$xf.time > 1618588800">
    {{ dump('test') }}
</xf:if>

how can i do this between 23 and 09

Unix time is an absolute time - it is not relative to a specific time of day.

1618588800 is Friday April 16 2021 16:00:00.

A code like this will work for me, but I want to include it in data by adding a template. How can I do it

<?php
$saat=date('H');
 
if($saat == 01 || $saat == 02 || $saat == 03 || $saat == 04 || $saat == 05 || $saat == 06 ||  $saat == 07 || $saat == 23 || $saat == 00){
        echo "no text";
    }
    else{
        echo "show text";
    }
?>

Hi Jeremy - You wouldn't happen to have something that would work for the bb_code_tag_quote and the reaction_list_row templates, would you? The current timestamp code doesn't work. My goal is to only show the /goto/ and /reaction links to people if they've been added before a certain date.

Thanks!

Jay
