Category expiration time

Post by delikassap » Sat Aug 22, 2009 8:00 am

hi,


is there a feature in able commerce for creating time based categories.
There will be a start time and end time defined for each category.
The categories are only shown up between those times.

How can i implement this ? Are there anyone use this logic ?

for examples see ruelala.com , gilt.com

This is not available out the box, how ever you can try to implement it. You can create a custom table with two columns of date time to hold limit dates for category and one column to hold related category id. After that you would need to update places showing categories such that before listing category application check that current date time value is within specified limits for that category.
