Is there any way to set the default closing date 31 days after a item has been posted

Implement the closing_time__default() method in the tables/products/products.php class.

e.g.

Code: Select all

function closing_time__default(){
    return date('Y-m-d H:i:s', time()+(31*24*60*60));
}


display days left below the item before close

2 Steps.

1. Add a calculated field to the tables/products/products.php delegate class to show the number of days until closing:

Code: Select all

function field__days_left(&$record){
    return (round((strtotime($record->strval('closing_time'))-time())/(24*60*60)));
}


(You may need to play with this a little to get it to work, as I haven't tested it).

2. Then add the following to the templates/view_product.html template where you want this figure to appear:

Code: Select all

{$product->val('days_left')}
