If statement based on day of the week

Vinny Hebert

 {if date('today', 'l')='Wednesday'}  
     [link][show-image style="border: 5px solid yellow;"][/link]
      {else}
     [link][show-image][/link]
 {/if}

I"m trying to display something based on the current day of the week. All the images are showing the border rather than just one.

You are currently outputting the image with a border if today is Wednesday. It is, so that is correct.
Tomorrow they will be without a border.

If you want to check the date of the article (created/modified date), instead of the current date, then you need to tell Articles Anywhere to check for that.

However it's not working. They are all showing a border but I believe it has something to do with the way AA loops and I'm not isolating the right image

{articles category="Shows" status="Current" ordering="day-of-the-week ASC"}
 <div class="uk-width-1-1">
 {if day-of-the-week:text='Monday'}
 <h3 class="uk-card-title uk-margin-remove-bottom">Monday</h3>
 {elseif day-of-the-week:text='Tuesday'}
 <h3 class="uk-card-title uk-margin-remove-bottom">Tuesday</h3>
 {elseif day-of-the-week:text='Wednesday'}
 <h3 class="uk-card-title uk-margin-remove-bottom">Wednesday</h3>
 {elseif day-of-the-week:text='Thursday'}
 <h3 class="uk-card-title uk-margin-remove-bottom">Thursday</h3>
 {elseif day-of-the-week:text='Friday'}
 <h3 class="uk-card-title uk-margin-remove-bottom">Friday</h3>
 {elseif day-of-the-week:text='Saturday'}
 <h3 class="uk-card-title uk-margin-remove-bottom">Saturday</h3>
 {/if}
   {if date('today', 'l')='Monday'}  
     [link][show-image style="border: 5px solid yellow;"][/link]
{elseif date('today', 'l')='Tuesday'}  
     [link][show-image style="border: 5px solid yellow;"][/link]     
     {elseif date('today', 'l')='Wednesday'}  
     [link][show-image style="border: 5px solid yellow;"][/link]     
     {elseif date('today', 'l')='Thursday'}  
     [link][show-image style="border: 5px solid yellow;"][/link]     
{elseif date('today', 'l')='Friday'}  
     [link][show-image style="border: 5px solid yellow;"][/link]          
{elseif date('today', 'l')='Saturday'}  
     [link][show-image style="border: 5px solid yellow;"][/link]          
{elseif date('today', 'l')='Sunday'}  
     [link][show-image style="border: 5px solid yellow;"][/link]          
     
      {else}
     [link][show-image][/link]
 {/if}   
 </div> 
 {/articles}

Perhaps I should isolate each day of the week with it's own {article} tag instead of trying to do a loop.

Yep, that seemed to produce the results I was looking for. Thank you for just allowing me to talk about it. You confirmed that I was heading in the right direction.
