Hi..if is possible to set republish once per day..php or javascript

Plugin does not have such option.

I understand, that plugin does not have such option.the question was if with php or javascript add that option manually myself.Am not a master coder but Ι will give a try.which way will be better?cookie or cron job..even with javascript to hide or classify the republish button for 24 hours based on time clicked.Any information you can provide me would be greatly appreciated.

You can do that in PHP, checking what is time to expiration and show/hide button based on time.

Please can you make a simple example or be more specific

I found a way,lazy as always

Go to /oc-content/plugins/backoffice_manager/function/republish.php

Find republish_link function on line 108 and replace

<?php function republish_link($item_id, $link_title = NULL, $target = '_blank') {
  $link = republish_link_raw($item_id);
  $link_title = ($link_title == '' ? __('Republish now!', 'backoffice_manager') : $link_title);

  if($link) {
    echo '<a style="color:green;font-weight:bold;" href="' . $link . '" target="' . $target . '" title="' . __('This listing is about expire or has expired. Click to republish this item if it is still valid', 'backoffice_manager') . '">' . $link_title . '</a>';
  }
}
?>

to this

<?php function republish_link($item_id, $link_title = NULL, $target = '_blank') {
  $link = republish_link_raw($item_id);
  $link_title = ($link_title == '' ? __('Republish now!', 'backoffice_manager') : $link_title);

  //Republish once per day or more
  $datenow = new DateTime('NOW');
  $itemdate = new DateTime(substr(osc_item_field('dt_pub_date'),0,10));
  $diffdate = date_diff($itemdate,$datenow);

  // Days to wait before item can be republished.Change 1 with yours
  if($link && $diffdate->days >= 1) {
    echo '<a style="color:green;font-weight:bold;" href="' . $link . '" target="' . $target . '" title="' . __('This listing is about expire or has expired. Click to republish this item if it is still valid', 'backoffice_manager') . '">' . $link_title . '</a>';
  } else {
     //echo something else when republish link does not show up
    }
}
?>


You must check "Allow users to republish listing anytime, not only when listing is about expire."

Remove php tags...

Sharing is caring...

Nice one

Script updated because when ads pass midnight can republished...

Now ads can republished at the same time of last republish

Here the fixed code...


<?php function republish_link($item_id, $link_title = NULL, $target = '_blank') {
  $link = republish_link_raw($item_id);
  $link_title = ($link_title == '' ? __('Republish now!', 'backoffice_manager') : $link_title);

  //Republish once per day or more
  $datenow = new DateTime('NOW');
  $itemdate = new DateTime(osc_item_pub_date()); //Fixed line
  $diffdate = date_diff($itemdate,$datenow);

  // Days to wait before item can be republished.Change 1 with yours
  if($link && $diffdate->days >= 1) {
    echo '<a style="color:green;font-weight:bold;" href="' . $link . '" target="' . $target . '" title="' . __('This listing is about expire or has expired. Click to republish this item if it is still valid', 'backoffice_manager') . '">' . $link_title . '</a>';
  } else {
     //echo something else when republish link does not show up
    }
}
?>


*also remove php tags.

I modified more code about this plugin such as republished counter,remaining time of next republish and different status according republish status.

If anyone wants this features just pm me to share the code!

Thanks for sharing

I replaced your code. Put a check mark in the settings "Allow users to republish the listing anytime, not only when the listing is about expire." - but the link in the user panel does not appear after 24 hours, you can also raise at any time; (

------------------------------------

How can I make sure that the user can publish his ad only after 3 hours?
