Ad Expirations
Is it possible to set expiration dates rather than a number of days?

Re: Ad Expirations
Well, the expiration date is stored in a meta field on the post. I suppose you could modify the ad posting form to use a date instead of a number, then remove the logic to calculate the date...not for the faint of heart. ;)

Re: Ad Expirations
I'm no expert but it looks like this expression:
Code:

$expires = date('m/d/Y G:i:s', strtotime("+" . $ad_length . " days"));
calculates the expiration date. I found this in /wp-content/themes/classipress/form_process.php on line 39. My line numbers might be off a little because I have made modifications to my code in various places. :geek:

Some please chime in if I'm incorrect.

Yeah, I found that too. I was trying to think how to change it to the the day after the date field I added, which is e_date.

Something like this maybe?
Code:

$expires = date('m/d/Y G:i:s', e_date("+" . 1 . " days"));
:roll:

Re: Ad Expirations
Well I changed it to
Code:

$expires = date('m/d/Y G:i:s', e_date("+" . $ad_length . " days"));
and set ad length to 1 in the settings but that doesn't seem to have worked.

Any idea how to fix this? :oops:

Re: Ad Expirations
Does this look like it might work?

Where 'e_date' is an 'Expiration Date' field in the form.
Code:

$expires = date('Y-m-d', mktime(0,0,0,date('m',$e_date),date('d',$e_date)+$ad_length,date('Y',$e_date)));

Re: Ad Expirations
This could probably be moved to the Theme Support area now, btw, if a mod feels so inclined.

Thanks.
