I figured that when I said, "[t]he installation process automatically creates a php file in the cron folder...". People would know that that folder needs to be writeable by the web server process.

I need something like this for one of my forum section but any way to make it work by minutes and not days?

thanks for any reply

Yes, it's possible to change the code and the scheduled task to use minutes, instead of days.

thank you for reply this solve a big problem in forum thanks

on my site i have a "daily topics" board where a new topic is made each day. would i be able to use this to close the topics at midnight so that no new posts could be added on the wrong days topic.

i understnd there is the option for close after 1 day but would that close it at 9am if it was started at 9am?

Yes, it would close the thread at 9am the following day.

You would need to modify this line:
to have threads close when you want, but then you run into timezone issues and when a day starts and ends for the server may differ from the visitors.

what would i edit it to to have them close at midnight GMT? my server is in uk and is on gmt time

checked...
Worked with 3.6.4 ...
But problem solved by CMOD for cron with 777 and after installing got the CMOD back normal

thanks man

keep on

hai

Would you make "Undo" feature in this hack?

Awesome, installed and working perfectly on vB 3.6.7 PL1 :up: ... I had some Permission Errors, when the cron job ran, but it was because I had to CHMOD some files, all was fixed and running now perfectly ...
