Hello there...

i need help to change the alerts notifications to be send time by time, first by first, 'SECOND' BY 'SECOND',, and why i need that?

some items is oppertunity for some people, and they need to be reminder about this products as soon as they can to get advantage of this oppertunity, so i think is really bad idea to make the alert send after longtime!, that mean might the product already gone!,

but when he get 'SECOND' BY 'SECOND' or 'FIRST' BY 'FIRST', he can be the first for this chance,

i tried to do some changes in the file in: /oc-includes/osclass/alerts.php

i thnk the file which responibale to do that, and this the changes:

<?php

function osc_runAlert($type = null, $last_exec = null){

    return;
  }

    $cron = Cron::newInstance()->getCronByType($type);
    $last_exec = '0000-00-00 00:00:00';

            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
but unfortunately didn't work!, does anyone have an idea how to fix that and make it work every 'SECOND'? thanks
