I have a web design question and could really use some help!

[Koharski]

A family friend of mine has a small e-commerce store and asked for my help setting up a promotion. They are doing a coupon that rotates depending on the hour of the day.

For example from 1pm-2pm the discount could be 20%
from 2pm to 3pm it could be 30% etc

What i'm hoping for is some kind of script that will display a different image based off the users local time. I'll specify 3 images for the 3 different coupons, and i'd need the script to display the correct image based off the users local time.

This coupon will be displayed on a wordpress blog.

Anybody have any ideas?

I know I've seen something like this; while I do some digging, just to clarify, you're looking for the visitor's local time and not the store's time?

 

[Koharski]

yep, that is correct

That sounds like an exploitable idea, unless you don't care as to how many people use that bonus outside of "happy hours". You see, I could simply adjust my clock and reload the page. Or does this not bother you?

QFT...it's not that hard to code what the OP wants, but definitely an easy exploit.

What would be more trustworthy is have a login system where the user's city/state set's up promotions.

In the end the internet is more or less a 'timeless' medium...I wouldn't recommend either.
