Quote:what event or action activates the item that has a 'Future Start Date'?
The best way is to go to
POST AN ITEM and then plug in your future starting date into:
Start-up: (max. Days = 30)
Days (from now)
You will have to use this page (
POST AN ITEM ) to enter new items no matter what else you do. I think this would be quicker and less prone to producing problems then if you began to search for all instances of
$start_time to begin rewrting the
start time code or substituting a value for the
$start_time variable.
In case you do not understand how the Time settings are used (and I did not at first until I posted a question on this forum), here is a snippet from my
Help section --->
Quote: Next will need to set a Start-up and Deadline date. The Start-up date should remain at zero if you want the auction to start immediatly. If you would like it to start sometime in the future, enter the number of days from now that you would like the auction to start, with the start-up maximum being 30 days from now. The Deadline date should be set accordingly. If you set the auction to start immediatly(startup=0), and you want to run the auction the maximum of 30 days, then just set Deadline = 30 days. A second example would be if you wanted the auction to start in 20 days from now and run for 30 days, you just enter Start-up = 20 and Deadline =50. You can adjust the the Server-Time settings or leave them as they are. I usually make sure that the server settings are all the same for all items becausewe use a single user posting format like you propose to do. Anyway, the server setting boxes from left to right represent the hour-minute-second .
I hope my reply has addressed your question.
