Cron Job for Expired Bids

[ProSkyDesign]

Hi everybody in app.config.php I edited the Close bids after expire function but it doesn't work

Anyone can help me?? I think I need to run a cron Job to get it works but I don't know how can I do it.

# Whether to close any bids after a certain amount of time
Config::Set('CLOSE_BIDS_AFTER_EXPIRE', true);
Config::Set('BID_EXPIRE_TIME', '1'); # How many hours to hold bids for

Copy and paste those codes into your local.config.php and set up a cron job on your server. Alternatively, u can use deleteexpiredbids () function in your frontpage_main.php to delete them once your main page is opened.

I found how to add a cron job in my server, but now what is the command to add to the cron job?

Everyone has a different hosting environment, however I'll take a guess that you're using some version of CPanel. 

The command you need to use is located at YourphpVMSDirectory/admin/index.php/maintenance/options. 

Here is a tutorial for cPanel: https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/ALD/Configure+cPanel+Cron+Jobs
