Add Business hours in multiple locations

Site URL: http://www.blackbookbar.com

Squarespace's mobile information bar includes the ability to dynamically publish your business hours. What I am looking for is a way to create a similar embed on multiples pages. Basically, I want to include the business hours in the footer, but also on some select other pages. I'd love for the data that's displayed to be pulled dynamically from the business information in my account settings. This way I don't have to remember to update the hours in multiple locations each time.

Anyone have thoughts on how to achieve this?

Thanks!

I need to do this exact same thing. Can't believe there isn't a "Business Hours" block choice to add the synced info from the Business Information settings. Please help us with a solution Forum Friends!

Do you mean you want to display the business hour on footer of the desktop interface?

No, I want to display them right in the body of a page. The Contact Us page for example. I don't want to manually manage the business hours on a page, it should be synced to what is entered in the BUSINESS INFORMATION section of the backend, which controls the hours in the footer on desktop already.

It should be possible to write some code to pull the opening hours from Settings > Business Information > Business Hours but these are quite restrictive in terms of formatting whereas I note that your current statement is arguably more user friendly - "Open Noon–Late. Every day."

Do you want to replace this with the hours from the "Business Hours" setting, as below?

Mo 12:00-02:00
Tu 12:00-00:00
We 12:00-00:00
Th 12:00-00:00
Fr 12:00-00:00
Sa 12:00-00:00
Su 12:00-00:00

@paul2009 Hey Paul, sorry picking up on this old thread as I have a similar question. I am working for a shopping centre and they just want to display 'todays' opening hours on the home page. Is there a way of coding in a block to pull that day's hours from the site's business hours, based on the actual day that you are viewing the site? Essentially like this attached. Thanks so much for any help you can give me in advance. 🙂

@paul2009I literally can not thank you enough. This has worked absolutely perfectly. So kind of your to take the time to write that script for me. Really appreciated. 🙂

Wow this is so incredibly helpful!! Thank you so much @paul2009!!

I fiddled around with the code you created and made a version that accounts for holidays. I thought I'd share it here in case it helps anyone else.

Also, I'm not a very experienced coder, so I'd love to learn if there's a more efficient or better way to do this!

I added this part below "Store opening hours" to define the holidays:

  // Define holidays (without the year) in "MM-DD" format
  const holidays = [
    "12-25", // Christmas Day
    "01-01", // New Year's Day
    // Add more holidays (MM-DD format) as needed
  ];

I added this after "Get the current day and time" to check if it's currently a holiday:

  // Function to check if the date is a holiday (without the year)
  function isHoliday(date) {
    const month = date.getMonth() + 1; // Month is zero-based, so add 1
    const day = date.getDate();
    const monthDay = `${month < 10 ? '0' : ''}${month}-${day < 10 ? '0' : ''}${day}`;
    return holidays.includes(monthDay);
  }

Then I modified the last "Check if the store is open" section:

 // Check if the store is open
  const isHolidayToday = isHoliday(today);

  if (isHolidayToday || storeHours[currentDay].open === "Closed" || storeHours[currentDay].close === "Closed") {
    openingHours.textContent = "Sorry, the store is closed today.";
  } else {
    // Code to handle open hours
    const openTime = storeHours[currentDay].open;
    const closeTime = storeHours[currentDay].close;
    openingHours.textContent = `Today's opening hours: ${openTime} - ${closeTime}`;
  }

EDIT: Originally the code had to include the year. This edited version should work for the MM-DD format, so no year is required.
