Need "Order within the next X hours and your order ships today" mod.

A quick google search brings up several jQuery based count-down timers from simple to eloquent (if not complex)...that'd be the way to go since you'd want the actual timer to count down on the finished web page.

Thanks Bruce, I think I'm better off postponing that for now and just display something simpler.

Example:

IF WEEKDAY BEFORE 3:00 PM ET
      "Order before 3:00 PM ET and your order ships today!"
ELSE
      "Ships next business day!"
ENDIF

Now I just have to figure out how to do it.

It sure would be nice if someone post a collection of common snippets samples like when Dominant Designs use to back in the day.

The problem with something like this is that, while not complex, the point by point placement and tagging would have so many variables as to make a sample or how to pretty complex. An integrator/developer should be able to drop this in less than an hour.

And the down side is then your customers are sitting there trying to do math and remember their time zones :)

Bruce, I'm all for being productive, and sometimes it just makes sense to hire someone to do things. I know how to do an oil change on my car, but I would not waste any time doing it, in my particular case it would be far more productive for me to pay someone to do it.

But there are certain things that are impracticable and/or unfeasible to have done for you. I'm sure there are somethings you do in your business and/or home that you could pay someone else to to it yet you chose to do it yourself for the same reasons.

Perhaps this is not the best example that comes to mind, but its like you hiring someone to change a light bulb in your closet, or putting a new roll of toilet paper in your the bathroom. Writing conditionals statements in MM4.24c (10 years ago) was like changing a light bulb (at least for me it was), the latest and greatest version of MIVA is not!
