QUOTE(jlhaslip @ Nov 12 2007, 11:36 PM)  Here is another, simpler, method. Serve a different CSS file based on the time of day. Replace your existing link tag with the following php code. You will need 3 CSS files named according to the file names used in the script, of course, with the background image changed in each one according to the preferred design. CODE <?php $hour = date('H'); if ($hour < 12 ) { echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="morning.css" />; } elseif ($hour < 17 ) { echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="day.css" />; } else { echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="night.css" />; } ?> Untested. No example available. That is actually the way I do my styles for different times of years, except because I'm too lazy to test on my website i do it in javascript, but it's almost the exact same code. Thanks for the code though, I can see it now. |

This technique can also perform Random Image Generators and a Random sig or avatar rotator script. I have another Tutorial around here on the trap that shows the Random Avatar, I think it is... gif's, png's, jpg's or a combined image script. http://www.trap17.com/forums/index.php?s=&...st&p=350113 There it is... |

I think this is pretty clever. I saw a lot of professional web designers who actually use the day and night difference, because it makes the site look like a place in real life! It also has sounds that correspond with the time of day. Perhaps that could be your next tutorial when you're bored and want to cook up something else that's as brilliant as this one

Attention!!!
Someone sent me an email a few days ago about this script not working for them, and I somehow misfiled or deleted the e-mail, so if you have a question, please PM or email me. Thanks for your interest in the script. |
