Complex CFif feature

[Guest]

I have a chat feature that I only want to be available between the hours of 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. Right now I have this long cfif statement.
1. Is there an easier way to do this?
2. How can I combine if statements like if it is monday between 8:30 to 4:30 pm?

1) Google 'Boolean Logic' and discover the magic of the 'AND' and 'OR'
operators.

2) Take a look at the ColdFusion Function documentation for the list
functions, especially listFind() and possible listContains() functions.

3) You may also want to take a look at the date functions as well,
particularly dateCompare(). I.E. It is important to think that times
are just a portion of a date-time value.

<cfif DayOfWeek(tdate) GTE 2 AND DayOfWeek(tdate) LTE 6>
<!--- ON - day is Monday through Friday --->
<cfelse>
<!--- OFF - day is Saturday or Sunday --->
</cfif>

I leave it to the OP to work the time of the day into this if statement.
