I'd like to indicate whether submissions are still possible w/o them having to go to the form to find out.</p> <p>For comparison, the following code works when called from the gform_validation hook:</p> <pre><code>//Confirm end of auction + current server time $auctionCloseTime = strtotime($form[&#39;scheduleEnd&#39;] . &quot; &quot; . $form[&#39;scheduleEndHour&#39;] . &quot;:&quot; . $form[&#39;scheduleEndMinute&#39;] . &quot; &quot; . $form[&#39;scheduleEndAmpm&#39;] . &quot; EST&quot;);</code></pre> <p>and this code does similar check for a custom field date / time specific to the individual post type to apply a CSS class.<br /> <pre><code>&lt;?php $closeEarlyDateTime = get_post_meta($post-&gt;ID, &quot;closeEarlyDateTime&quot;, true); $closeEarlyDateTime = strtotime($closeEarlyDate . &quot; EST&quot;); $currentTime = strtotime(date(&#39;m/d/Y h:i a&#39;)); if ($closeEarlyDateTime &amp;&amp; $currentTime &gt; $closeEarlyDateTime) { $thumbnailClass = &quot;thumbnailClosed&quot;; } else { $thumbnailClass = &quot;thumbnail&quot;; } ?&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;&lt;?php echo $thumbnailClass; ?&gt;&quot;&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;&lt;?php the_permalink(); ?&gt;&quot;&gt; &lt;?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?&gt; &lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;</code></pre>
