Hi,

Nice work, I have attempted a similar process and failed recently.

Am I to assume the time difference between auto_store_open_close.php & cron is the difference between last orders and the physical store closing??

I have read instructions several times just want to check before I implement.

Thanks in advance

You will need to decide on a time when you want your online store to "go off-air" so to speak.

Say you are accepting last orders at 22.30 and your physical store shuts at 23.00 then cron has to close your online store at 22.30 or even 22.29

Just take care of the time difference of your server, if it is the USA and your store is in the UK then apply the TD between UK and the time of your server location.

If your server is in the UK as well then all is good, same time.

That's cool.

No hosting is USA (New York) and DST is also 1 week later than the UK, just to be awkward.

Anyhow, I am about to merge the module and template files into my live store so all good in testing.

Thanks for confirmation.

Also, if your closing time is not the same every weekday (say you close earlier on Sundays) then you will need to create separate cron tabs for the different days.
