Just noticed that you are running ZC 1.5.1 but the header of the file you posted says

ZenCart 1.3.x > 1.3.9c

That add on may not be compatible with your version of ZC

I just need basic script, open-closed shop auto whit cron job. I found store_status.php script from zen cart forum. And i can't update version.

and i four this otter subject of zen cart forum...

Dr Byte's solution works well for me but I thought I'd add a little caveat which might save somebody some time.

If you run your php program directly as a cron job it won't have the right working directory and won't find /includes/config.php so it will fail with;
ERROR: admin/includes/configure.php file not found. Suggest running zc_install/index.php?
To avoid this you need to tell cron to change directory before invoking PHP to run the program, so your cron command should read
Code:
cd "public_html/admin"; /usr/local/bin/php my_program.php
Remember to leave a space between your path to PHP and the program name, you are invoking PHP with the program name as a parameter.

I hope this helps someone.

require('includes/application_top.php'); this file loads the paths needed for configure.php

For testing uncomment the echo commands.

Then call the script www.xxxxxx/adminxxx/store_status.php

After you get the script to work then setup the cron up.

Skip

fortunately it works.
wget -O - www.xxxxxx/xxxxx/adminxxx/store_status.php
add... define('CRON_ADMIN_USER_ID', '1');

but :)

if store status 2= Showcase with prices, it change 1= Showcase no prices
if store status 0= Normal Store, its change 1= Showcase no prices again
if store status 1= Showcase no prices, its not changing

if store status 0= Normal Store, its change 1= Showcase no prices again

That indicates that the script is working as per configuration:

if ((date(H) >= $store_open) && (date(H) <= $store_close)) {
$zen_store_stat = 0; // Store is Open Normal Zen Cart
} else {
$zen_store_stat = 1; // Store is Closed Showcase no Prices
} 

If you wanted store status = 2 then you would need to set

$zen_store_stat = 2; // Store is Closed Showcase with prices

It doesn't change store status open (0), with all combination.

I forget add that code also...

admin/init_includes/init_admin_auth.php

if (!isset($_SESSION['admin_id']) && defined('CRON_ADMIN_USER_ID') && (int)CRON_ADMIN_USER_ID != 0) {
$_SESSION['admin_id'] = CRON_ADMIN_USER_ID;
}

Played with this on a local install. I changed

if ((date(H) >= $store_open) && (date(H) <= $store_close)) { 

to

if ((date('H:i:s') >= $store_open) && (date('H:i:s') <= $store_close)) { 

and it appears to work

[Cenkki]

You know this work.
Thanks
