Hi

Could you please tell me the boolean expression that would display my module after a certain date, say, starting on 05/30/2021 (and hide it before that date)?

Thanks

(time() > strtotime('1 am ' . date('30-5-2021')))

Thanks byronlunz!!
The other question I should have asked: how about the converse, ie, the boolean expression that would HIDE my module after a certain date, say, starting on 05/30/2021 (and DISPLAY it before that date)?

Thanks @byronlunz!

The quick and easy way to negate something is to wrap it in !(). 🙂

Even simpler: (time() > strtotime(“10am July 31 2021”))

However, on my server, this function seems to only check UTC, not the server’s timezone. For me, I have to pick a time 7 hours ahead of me… but it does work.

Thank you both! @jhorowitz, given @byronlunz’s simplified version, you’re saying that to HIDE my module after a certain date, say, hiding on on 7am (UTC) August 27 2021 (and DISPLAYING it until that date), I would enter:

!((time() > strtotime(“7am August 27 2021”)))

Well heck @byronlunz and @jhorowitz, entering any of those expressions into any module’s Module Settings>Advanced>Content Visibility field causes a “Bad Gateway 502” error for the front-end page when saved.

!((time() > strtotime(“7am August 27 2021”)))
(time() > strtotime(“7am August 27 2021”))
(time() > strtotime('1 am ' . date('30-5-2021')))

I have a feeling I’m making a simple syntax error:

Sorry if my examples were confusing; they include too many parens.
Check out https://i.imgur.com/dyL2AT1.png then try removing the outer set of parens.
