    Would it be possible to add a feature to allow for testing of the time reveals by typing a date/time string into the page url? Something like:

    if(isset($_GET[‘time’])) {
    $testTime = $_GET[‘time’];
    }

    and in the url:

    ?time=2015-Apr-27%2000:00:00

    I use your plugin frequently for time revealed content and its really nice to be able to double check that the reveals are correct by using a test date/time.

    Thanks for the awesome plugin!

    Hi, genjisan007.

    If you are using the [timed-content-server] you can always use the debug attribute to check your attribute settings with the server clock. For Timed Content Rules, each rule settings page has a Show Projected Dates/Times button that will show you all of the active periods for your rule.

    Thanks for the info, I am using the server time so I think that’ll work. It’s important for the marketing folks to be able to double check that certain elements will reveal properly for their peace of mind! The system we had in the past allowed them to enter a time string in the url which was easy for non-technical folks to test, but it sounds like that shouldn’t be too difficult for a testing procedure.
