[SOLVED] how do you create a timed redirect?

Question

I have 2 menus for a restaurant, one for the afternoon and one for the evening.&#010;I would like to make sure that the lunch menu is shown every day from a certain time and that of the dinner at another time.&#010;&#010;To do this I thought of creating 2 pages with the menus inside and making an extra page that redirects the user to one of those 2 based on the time the link is opened.&#010;&#010;how can I do? What codes should I use?

Hello AdVantage Agency,  yes it is possible to do that. You can do that in different way.  Creating a mainpage, which detects the day-time when page loads.  import wixLocation from 'wix-location';

$w.onReady(() => {start_TimeDetection()})

function start_TimeDetection (parameter) {
  here you will have your if-query, which will do the 
 right redirection.
 
 somehing like ....
 
 if myTime === 1 then go page-1
 else go page-2
}  You will need this command, to navigate to a specific URL. wixLocation.to("here your URL") And because you are using this command you will need the API-reference for it, which you can also find on the top of the code.  import wixLocation from'wix-location'; How exactly to work with DATE & TIME, you can see in this little example here... https://russian-dima.wixsite.com/meinewebsite/date-time-onclick   There you have also an option to set a TIMER. Isn't it very similar to your needs? 😁 Good luck.

I have a similar situation that I would greatly appreciate ANY help and guidance on - or even the coding. I am not experience with Java either. But with "simple" coding, I can manage to follow to suit my needs.

I'm wanting to do something similar as already discussed in the post and tried modifying the code(s) in this post, without success. Been searching YouTube, contacting Wix, and Velo, etc. for over a month, without being able find what and/or the how for this specific "redirect and back action" I'm needing. This post came pretty close. But still no luck for me.

I'm basically wanting to redirect my customers and visitors to another page within my site (hidden from menu), after 6:PM daily AND THEN stop the redirect at 9:AM the next day - daily. I do understand that I need to use "wixLocation.To", "getTime()" and "if statement" functions. BUT I'm simply at a lost with how to make it work. So still without a solution. 😫

Can anybody help? Please... 😌

Thanks in advance.

Open your own new post, where you describe your specific issued usecase in detail.

1) Show a little screenshot of your SETUP if possible.

2) Show the related part of your DATABASE if possible.

3) List all used elements in your project, related to the issue.
