Helper classes for showing if something is open or closed by using a content type stored in a Contensis CMS.

To use requires the following to be set up in the CMS:

Installation

.Net App

Via Nuget: https://www.nuget.org/packages/UniversityOfBrighton.Contensis.OpeningHours/

On CMS

Either download from https://www.nuget.org/packages/UniversityOfBrighton.Contensis.OpeningHours/ and unzip and add as Custom DLL to the site

Or copy into App_code folder the following files (in this order)

1. UniversityOfBrighton.Contensis.OpeningHours\DayOpenTime.cs
2. UniversityOfBrighton.Contensis.OpeningHours\OpenTimePeriod.cs
3. UniversityOfBrighton.Contensis.OpeningHours\OpenTimeChecker.cs
4. UniversityOfBrighton.Contensis.OpeningHours\OpenTimePeriodReader.cs

Usage

See the ExampleRazors folder Pages\Index.cshtml for an example razor view which displays an open or closed message. It's easier on the CMS because you don't need a Client ID or Shared Secret.

@using System
@using Zengenti.Contensis.Delivery
@using UniversityOfBrighton.Contensis.OpeningHours
@{
    var testKey = "0/1275/1281";
    var client = ContensisClient.Create();
    var periodList = OpenTimePeriodReader.FetchOpenTimePeriods(client, testKey, "openTimePeriod");
    var checker = new OpenTimeChecker(periodList);
    
     // Allows editer to check what ouput will be on Preview server
    var now = ( Request.QueryString["date"] != null && Request.QueryString["time"] != null) ? 
        DateTime.Parse(Request.QueryString["date"] + " " + Request.QueryString["time"]) :
        DateTime.Now;
}
<div>
    @if(checker.IsOpen(now))
    {
        <p>OPEN</p>
    }
    else
    {
        <p>CLOSED</p>
    }
</div>
