Hi all.

I am trying to create a code that will give 10% but only on a Tuesday!

Any ideas how to achieve this?

Cheers

Well, I thought either there was ZC code that could return the day of the week, if not there is php code thatcould do the same. Would need to insert inline with the discount code verification a check of the day of the week (should advise customers what time zone it isbased on) and allow/disallow the disount

Umm sounds beyond my abilities. Or at least at present. I thought this would be easy.

As a temp work around I am setting it using the valid dates. This means weekly added admin and is at risk of not being done. As for time zones can be dismissed as a local business only trading in one county.

You could do this by adding the code in RED to the file:
/includes/modules/order_total/ot_coupon.php

// bof: coupon 10OFFTUESDAY valid on Tuesday only
echo 'ot_coupon says cc_id: ' . $_SESSION['cc_id'] . ' redeem code: ' . $dc_check . ' Day of Week: ' . date('D') . '<br>';
if ($dc_check == '10OFFTUESDAY' && date('D') != 'Tue') {
  $foundvalid = false;
}
// eof: coupon 10OFFTUESDAY valid on Tuesday only
        if (!$foundvalid) {
          $this->clear_posts();
        }

NOTE: the echo in there is for testing so you can change the Day of the Week to make sure that things are working for you, before Tuesday ...
Just add the // in front of the echo to turn the echo off ...

Would be interesting to see this type of "option" in a plugin, if it doesn't already exist. Ideally, wouldn't want to have to hard code the coupon/day/date, but might want to have a configurable admin switch to leave behind an indication of what would need to be edited to remove/change/add to the coupon. Of course you are also keeping notes of the changes made, right?

You could also just set the dates to manage this every week ... this just removes the labor ...
