Stopping items on menu to be ordered after a certain time

Hi,

is there any way I can stop products being ordered after a certain time. I have built a online takeaway shop and certain meals are only available 4pm to 9pm each evening (Mon to Thurs). Although this is clearly marked on the site customers are still placing orders.

Thanks, Martin

Sure. Write custom code to check the time of day and if the status needs to change, have it update the status on all the specific product IDs you tell it to process.

Thanks, any ideas of any coders who could write it for me
