Schedule a block to display or hide
Permalink
I would like to have block content display and hide at preset times. For example, I would like a content block about “A Company special” start at the first of the month and then stop displaying at the end of a month. I see, with advanced permissions, a page can display and hide. How do I do that type of thing at the block level?
Did you ever get a solution for this?
All I found is basic C5 handles this at the page level, out-of-the-box functionality. To get the kind of control I wanted at the block level, I have to use an add-on or write my own code.
There are several options in the marketplace that generally don't cost too much.

Which add-on would you recommend for this?
At the time of the original posting there might not have been an option to control the visibility of a block based on a date/time.
But now in both 5.6 and 5.7, if you turn on advanced permissions you should be able to handle this sort of task out of the box.
With advanced permissions on try clicking on a block and selecting 'Schedule Guest Access'. You can also set timed permissions for different user and user groups via editing a block's permissions - look for the little clock icons.
