Does anyone know why this conditional message does not work?

Does anyone know why this conditional message does not work?

Example:

<!-- Code to display conditional message between mon - sat -->
%IF((s.dyn_tm_wday LT 3) OR (s.dyn_tm_wday GT 7))%

    <!-- Code to display conditional message between 12:00 pm -3:00 pm ET -->
    %IF((s.dyn_time_t LT 15) OR (s.dyn_time_t GT 24))%
                
         conditional message text here

%ELSE%

    alternate conditional message text here

%IFEND%

Try closing the second if statement.

<!-- Code to display conditional message between mon - sat -->
%IF((s.dyn_tm_wday LT 3) OR (s.dyn_tm_wday GT 7))%

    <!-- Code to display conditional message between 12:00 pm -3:00 pm ET -->
    %IF((s.dyn_time_t LT 15) OR (s.dyn_time_t GT 24))%
                
         conditional message text here

%ELSE%

    alternate conditional message text here

%IFEND%
%IFEND%

It's a thing about the 4.xx that's easy to forget.

That did not work, but you were close. At lease now I am able to display the alternate message by moving up the %IFEND% token as displayed below.

But I still can't get the conditional message to display between 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm ET only. Thus I must have the wrong code for that portion. Though I am able to successfully display message from Monday through Saturday only.

<!-- Code to display conditional message between mon - sat -->
 %IF((s.dyn_tm_wday LT 3) OR (s.dyn_tm_wday GT 7))%

      <!-- Code to display conditional message between 12:00 pm -3 :00 pm ET -->
     %IF((s.dyn_time_t LT 15) OR (s.dyn_time_t GT 24))%

           conditional message text here

%IFEND%

 %ELSE%

      alternate conditional message text here

  %IFEND%

I think you mean

LE 12 OR GE 15

For all hours that are not between 12 & 3 PM

Or

GE 12 AND LE 15

For hours between 12 and 3 PM

Thanks Bruce, it seems to be working fine now, will monitor it this week to make sure its working fine.

One thing though, it there a way to set conditional to be time zone specific? If so, how?

Re: Does anyone know why this conditional message does not work?

in mivascript there is a timezone() function which returns the curent timezone, but I believe that would be for the server, I don't think there is anyway to reliably determine the timezone of your customer. (However, you should adjust your numbers for the server's time zone offset.)

Server is fine, if I can adjust for my store time zone (e.g.: -5).

How would that work?
