In admin/configuration/Auction Listing I have set the end of auction listing to 0 - meaning auction goes inactive - disappearing totally. This indeed happens when there is a bid - the information stays listed in admin and in the highest bidder account.
HOWEVER - when there are no bids on the auction, it does not disappear ???
Could this be related to the following code ?
catalog/includes/modules/auctions/classes/oscAuctions.php
line 475:
$this->sendWinningBidderEmail();
$sql= "
UPDATE " . TABLE_AUCTIONS . " SET status = '" . AUCTION_END_OPTIONS . "'
WHERE auctions_id = '" . (int)$this->auctionCompleteId . "'";
tep_db_query($sql);
