推荐Magento插件：Magento1.4的定时激活和终止激活产品插件

共计 1724 个字符，预计需要花费 5 分钟才能阅读完成。

今天再次推荐一款很不错的Magento插件，此款插件名称为:    Scheduled Products

介绍:   可以按照设定的时间定时激活产品和终止激活产品，也就是某个产品说设定的开始时间一到，这个产品会自动激活，也就是状态为Enabled，再到设定的结束 时间一到，这个产品的状态又会变为不激活，即Disabled。可能有些人还没想到这个能做什么，举个例子，京东的限时抢购，价钱很便宜，倒计时，两个小 时换一批抢购的产品，这个用后台人为去操作室无法想象的。现在，你可以新建一批便宜的特价产品，设定好激活时间，相互时间错开，把这些产品归到一个分类，前台显示这个分类的产品，再用js处理下时间倒计时，一个很棒的限时抢购就出来了。

 Important:

This extension requires cron to be enabled in Magento.  

Steps after the install:

    Clean Cache (System -> Manage Cache -> Flush Magento Cache)
     Rebuild Flat Index (System -> Manage Index -> Product Flat Data)

How to uninstall the extension:

 This extension uses custom backend models for product attribute, because Magento don't allow to store time for a datetime attribute. So you should do the following steps to remove it completely.

1. Deactivate the module in app/etc/modules/EcomDev_ScheduledProduct.xml
2. Remove the module from path 'app/code/community/EcomDev_ScheduledProduct'
3. Drop the following two columns from 'catalog_product_entity' table:
        - ecomdev_activation_date
        - ecomdev_expiry_date

4. Run the following query to remove attribute records from eav:
        DELETE FROM `eav_attribute` WHERE `attribute_code` IN ('ecomdev_activation_date', 'ecomdev_expiry_date');

NOTICE:
If you have specified table prefix for your Magento installment, you should mention it in the above queries.
