How does removeDate function run?

Hello,

I would like to use the removeDate function for some of my listings. In order for it to work do I need to be running a cron job?

Thanks,

Greg

Hi Greg,

No, it's all automatic. How it works is that if you have a field called "removeDate" then it adds this to the WHERE query:

WHERE ... removeDate >= NOW()

And if you have a field called 'neverRemove' it adds this:

WHERE ... ( removeDate >= NOW() OR neverRemove = 1 )

So it never changes any of the records, it just hides them from the results if the removeDate is in the past.

Hope that helps!
