Does anyone know of an extension the turns a product availability off at a certain time of day, and then back on at another.
Not having much luck finding one.
You will probably need a script to be run by cron job on the time(s) that you wish enable or disable products.
The script is quite simple. Something like: status.php in your store root
Then you can run the script via cron, e.g. yourdomain.com/status.php?status=1 to enable or replace 1 with 0 to disable
Don’t forget to add as many $products[] as you wish with the appropriate product_id's

Code: Select all
<?php
if(isset($_GET['status']) && ($_GET['status'] === 1 || $_GET['status'] === 0)){
$status = (int)$_GET['status'];
set_time_limit(0);
require_once('config.php');
require_once(DIR_SYSTEM . 'startup.php');
// Registry
$registry = new Registry();
// Loader
$loader = new Loader($registry);
$registry->set('load', $loader);
// Config
$config = new Config();
$registry->set('config', $config);
// Database
$db = new DB(DB_DRIVER, DB_HOSTNAME, DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD, DB_DATABASE);
$registry->set('db', $db);
// Create products array
$products = array();
// example -> $products[] = 1;
foreach ($products as $product){
$query = $db->query("UPDATE `" . DB_PREFIX . "product` SET `status` = $status WHERE `product_id` = '$product'");
}
}Don’t forget to add as many $products[] as you wish with the appropriate product_id's
Required to be validated twice? Another way, however, would be by creating an event file since OC already allows it on more recent releases.if(isset($_GET['status']) && ($_GET['status'] === 1 || $_GET['status'] === 1)){

An event file won't help much as this is the 1.5x forum.
All products or just specific products?
Prevent adding to cart only or hide the product?
Can I ask why.....? Knowing why can help with an answer.

Yes, which is why I mentioned 'on more recent releases' from my previous reply.An event file won't help much as this is the 1.5x forum.

You could do this with Restrict Checkout. You'd set up 2 restrictions like this, to disable the checkout when Product A was being purchased before 8:00 am or after 5:00 pm:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RESTRICTION #1
Name: Disable checkout when Product A is purchased during closed hours
Message: This product must be purchased between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm
Rule: Product is Product A
Rule: Time is before 08:00
RESTRICTION #2
Name: Disable checkout when Product A is purchased during closed hours
Message: This product must be purchased between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm
Rule: Product is Product A
Rule: Time is after 17:00
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Feel free to take a look at the screenshots and demo site, and if you're interested let me know at www.getclearthinking.com/contact if you have any further questions.
