i am looking at developing a site for a takaway shop my question is can you close your store daily say 11;30pm with a cron job ? and reopen again say 5;30pm with a cron job

I suppose you could write a script that inserts a value into the "Store enabled" field, and one that switches it, and have a cron job run then each of them at those times. There's probably a more elegant approach at it though

In my opinion that would be a terrible idea. Why should you want to close the shop online. The only thing you have to do is simple state that any order made during those hours won´t be available for takeout until the openning time. PUT A HUGE BANNER

Good luck

You can turn into a "catalog only" shop during off hours (you can create a simple php script which will update the configuration table (that's where the variable is set).

This will prevent people from ordering during off hours, but they will still be able to browse the sites (and search engines will still be able to crawl it too)
