How to disable category using CRON

[sasorobic]

Hello.

 

We have a module that imports data from our supplier every hour...

 

But there are a couple of categories what we dont want to be enabled. they can exist but it must be disabled and all products in that categories too...

 

any way to acomplish that using cron?

 

thanks

You could just make a tiny php file and call that from your cron.

 

After the login data it could contain mysql commands like "update ps_category set active=0 where id_category in ("11","23")"

I suppose you also will want to add commands to disable the products.
