How to a stop an Auction

I want to change the date or stop an auction earlier than what was
entered in the original Auction products.

Is there a way to stop an auction and then list with winners of the auction?

Hello,

Sure, you'll just have to set the availability end date of your product to now and your auction will be finished. Then when the cron will be triggered emails will be sent to your customers notifying them of the end of the auction.

Kind regards,

Do I have to go thru every item and set that date to now?

Seems there should be a system option somewhere.
thanks

When I try to run my cron from my server all I get is:
/bin/sh: www.onepasco.com/index.php?option=com_hikashop : No such file or directory

Hello,

A solution can be to use mass actions via "Hikashop->System->Mass actions" and configure it like in the attached screenshot.

You'll just have to replace "YOUR_TIMESTAMP" by a timestamp of the date that you can generate via :
www.unixtimestamp.com/

Kind regards,
Mohamed

Will this action stop the auction, but allow people to log in and see the results.

I want to be able to allow people to view the auction and see the bids,
BUT not allow people to make any more bids.

I need to close the auction but get a list of the winning bids to
show all participants

Can you help me setting that up?

Hello,

Of course, using the solution I gave you with Mass actions will do the job. But you'll also have to make sure that the CRON (Hikashop->System->Configuration->CRON) is triggered either manually or automatically.

Kind regards,
Mohamed.
