Expire Time

The expiration time is set per item as they are added to the cart. It should be possible to modify the plugin to change this behavior, but I don’t have time right now to deal with it. I’m finishing up a few things before heading off to a conference for the rest of the week.

When writing this code I had considered other ways to extend the timeout but it didn’t seem reasonable as someone would be able to lock in a product to keep someone from buying it by doing something other than paying for it.

Thanks for your reply.
It should really help me if you can modify the plugin to change the behavior. I’ll hope you will help met after the conference.
Enjoy the conference.

Have you already had some time?

Sorry I have not had any free time. I’ve got a lot of organizations/projects that I volunteer my time on.

Okay, any idea when you have any time voor my request?

Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you.

I just implemented a feature in the github version that will be pushed to the main repository very soon.

This allows you to call the ‘wc_csr_adjust_cart_expiration’ action and it will reset all of the expiration times in the cart.

You can also pass it 2 variables, the first being the new expiration time and the second being a specific WooCommerce cart item ID to adjust.

Since this is definitely an advanced option I decided against adding specific options for when to do this, it will be up to yourself to add it to a plugin or your theme.

Care must be taken, however, because it makes it easier for someone to lock the item up so nobody else can purchase it.

Can you try the version from github and see if it resolves your issue? I believe it should and after a bit more testing this version will be pushed to the www.ads-software.com repository
