Below you'll find a few examples of Sidekick managing our content based on the day of the week and / or time.

In our first example we are showing a bit of content to our visitors based what day of the week it is in our timezone (example is UTC). This is handy for letting them know for example if our business is open today or not.

In our second example are displaying content based on the time of day in our chosen timezone. This allows, for example, to tell visitors if we're available for chat based support right now or not.

Additionally in our last example we can nest the time conditional within a day of the week conditional to let people know if our business is open right now or not based on both the day of the week and the current time.

Here we've created a simple examples to show off our URL Parameters feature in the Sidekick tool. But you won't see anything just yet.

While this one might sound more complicated at first, it offers a great deal of flexibility and options, and is pretty easy to use. We can trigger content on a page by simply adding a variable to our URL for this page. We've added two pieces of content to this page that won't render unless Sidekick finds the proper variable and value in the URL.

To see our special piece of content visit this URL below (note the ?id=newsletter variable and value attached to the URL). We could use this, as an example, to show content only to users who click a link in our latest email newsletter:

When the page reloads with that added URL parameter you'll bet a nice sticky box at the top of the page with a note.

Many times we want to serve up content to visitors based solely on which operating system they're using.

A good example of this is with software downloads. Instead of offering up several buttons to let the visitor download your software for each of the various operating systems we can instead check which OS they're using and provide a download link for that specific OS. We've done just that below with our example. Visit on different OSes or devices and you will receive a different button for each!

We've built in a few helpful content insertion tools that allows Sidekick to personalize your site.

We can greet our visitors with a nice message that includes the day of the week, or have Sidekick keep our site's copyright date updated year after year. We just need to add a simple class name to an element and Sidekick handles the rest.

See the documentation page for more information about how to use these content insertion class names.

Allows you to add new content insertion options to Sidekick's parent tool. The allows you to insert the current time, in a constantly updating clock format, right into your content! Choose a specific timezone, or let the clock take on the visitor's time.

Choose a specific timezone, or let the clock take on the visitor's time. You can choose a 12- or 24hour clock, turn AM / PM on or off as well as include seconds. Add multiple Clock child items to Sidekick and you're able to include multiple clock inserts for multiple time zones, like we have below:

See the documentation page for more information about how to use these clock insertion unique IDs.

Sometimes it is nice to mix things up. Sidekick can handle that for you using its Random Content child item.

Add content in up to 10 different drop zones and Sidekick will dynamically choose one of them to randomly insert into your page. Different banners, client testimonials, famous quotes, portfolio highlights, and more are all great candidates for this tool.

Below we're loading a random quote for example each time the page loads:
