Open and close forum by cronjobs?

[Goodspeed]

Can you please tell me how can I write a script that will use cronjobs and will be able to make a forum open and visible at a certain time and close it and make invisible at a certain time as well?

Thank you!

Your cronscript will have to change the forums database entry so that it's invisible/closed.

I would recommand making two scripts, one to open and one to close the forums.

I'm not too good in PHP, maybe you show me simple example of that script?

Thank you!

[Colin F]

it would have to have
require_once(global.php);

and would need to do something like:

$DB_site->query("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forums SET x = y WHERE forumid = z");

Thank you! Now I got it!
