business_open()

Check if the requested datetime is within business hours.

PHP July 9, 2018

Usage

PHP
nebula()->business_open($date, $general)

Parameters

$date
(Optional) (String) The datetime to check
Default: Now

$general
(Optional) (Boolean) Check if the business is open that day
Default: false

Parameter Notes

General is a more vague check. Passing false is like asking “Is this business open at 3pm on November 24th?”, and passing true is like asking “Is this business open on November 24th?”.

    Override

    To override this PHP function, use this hook in your child theme or plugin ("my_custom" can be changed):

    PHP
    add_filter('pre_business_open', 'my_custom_business_open', 10, 3); //The last integer must be 1 more than the actual parameters
    function my_custom_business_open($null, $date, $general){ //$null is required, but can be ignored
        //Write your own code here
    
        return true; //Return true to prevent the original function from running afterwords
    }

    You can completely disable this PHP function with a single line actions:

    PHP
     add_filter('pre_business_open', '__return_false');
