Multi day program - On which day are we logging in?
Development and Programming
Hi, I am hoping that someone can give me some pointers on how to tackle the following. I want to offer a multiday program where people login in every day and depending on which day they are of the x-day program they get served different content.
How do I check upon member login on which day of the x-day program they are and how do I then trigger a specific template? Any suggestions?
Well, got it working. Was easier than I thought. Don’t know yet how full proof this solution is though.
Approach I used is to write a plugin that compares from the exp_member table the current time to the join_date. It then calculates the difference in number of days and passes that value back to the template.
The template uses an embed tag with the first part of the subtemplates name. It completes the full themplate name by calling the plugin tag which will render the number and therefore the correct template name for the corresponding day of the program.
