That would require the creation of a hikashop plugin implementing some of the massaction triggers to add a random filtering option.

If you select this, when will it be triggered? on the day and time you created, but a week, month or day later? there is no calendar to select when? Or is this on a per determined, as in 1st of month, 30th of month ? or whatever ? Last edit: 13 years 3 months ago by [colpc](/forum/user/6409-colpc "View colpc's Profile").

Thanks")* The system takes the massaction_last_trigger_weeks,massaction_last_trigger_days, massaction_last_trigger_months... values from the hikashop_config table of the database as starting points for the periods. If you want to force a weekly period to start monday at 5am, set that option to the timestamp of last monday 5am ( [ www.onlineconversion.com/unix\_time.htm](http://www.onlineconversion.com/unix_time.htm) ) and it will trigger the weekly massactions next monday at 5am if you correctly configured your cron task: [ www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/5...ashop-cron-task.html](http://www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/55-hikashop-cron-task.html) Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtL21hc3MtYWN0aW9ucy84NjEwMTUtbW92ZS1yYW5kb20tcHJvZHVjdHMtdG8tYS1jZXJ0YWluLWNhdGVnb3J5P3RtcGw9bWFya2Rvd24=) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation.
