Talk: Blippo/Hiding future weeks tests
From Playdate Community Wiki
Experimenting with ways to hide information about "future" weeks of Blippo...
Note this may all be a bad idea: see the warning at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Preventing_access#Restrict_viewing_of_certain_specific_pages.
See ParserFunctions extension documentation, which does seem to be installed on this Playdate Wiki: see Special:Version.
Test 1... 2
Test 2... the expression in the page code has evaluated to true
Test 3...
EXT. FOREST - DAY
Title sequence: A bone crosses the frame, trailed by a dog. The dog proudly catches and displays a bone in the form of the show logo: Fetch.
MULTIPLE CHILDREN
(shouting)
Fetch!
Test 4...

See MediaWiki Magic words - Date and time.
CURRENTWEEK = 10
CURRENTDOW (CURRENTDAYNAME) = 0 (Sunday)
CURRENTHOUR = 04
Test 5... Today is not Tuesday and the transcript in the page code is hidden.
... so: seems that something along the lines of Test 5 could "work"... but:
- difficult to test without being able to change the time on the server;
- the "|" character separating the "true" and "false" portions of the ifexpr is pretty crucial - but that character can appear in the transcripts...
- this ifexpr code would need to be added to many, many pages
- if the ifexpr code needed to be changed, it would need to be changed in many many pages...
- the precise details of when Blippo+ switches to the next week isn't currently known...?
- seems that the colour version of Blippo+ (on Switch & Steam) may allow viewers to skip around and unlock "future" weeks...?
- what if a viewer that saw each week of Blippo+ when it was first revealed wants to refer to some information - probably don't want to lock it away from them...
hmmmmmm
