Changing the default sync timeline

Some clients may wish to update their pricing more often than the default, which is 24 hours. Particularly on smaller sites, this doesn’t have much of an impact. On large sites with hundreds of properties, making the updates happen too often can result in clashes between different sets of updates that are happening in overlapping time frames, or can result in performance issues.

Here’s a snippet that can be dropped into the functions.php file to change the default sync timeline to four hours instead of 24.

function rentfetch_modify_sync_timeline( $seconds ) {
    $hours = 4;
    return $hours * HOUR_IN_SECONDS;
}
add_filter( ‘rentfetch_sync_timeline’, ‘rentfetch_modify_sync_timeline’ );
