Disable Open Cart 3 check out on sundays

Question

I have a store which is set up with Open Cart 3. I want to disable the checkout on Sundays. I have tried the following code but it doesn't seem to be working.

I added the code to following file cataloge/controller/checkout/checkput.php

class ControllerCheckoutCheckout extends Controller {
    public function index() {
        // Validate cart has products and has stock.
        if ((!$this->cart->hasProducts() && empty($this->session->data['vouchers'])) || (!$this->cart->hasStock() && !$this->config->get('config_stock_checkout'))) {
            $this->response->redirect($this->url->link('checkout/cart'));
        }
        
        if (date("l") == "Sunday") {
            $this->response->redirect($this->url->link('checkout/cart'));
            $this->session->data['error'] = 'Sorry we are closed on Sundays';
        }

Here is the full code before I added my line;

<?php

class ControllerCheckoutCheckout extends Controller {
    public function index() {
        // Validate cart has products and has stock.
        if ((!$this->cart->hasProducts() && empty($this->session->data['vouchers'])) || (!$this->cart->hasStock() && !$this->config->get('config_stock_checkout'))) {
            $this->response->redirect($this->url->link('checkout/cart'));
        }
        
        
        // Validate minimum quantity requirements.
        $products = $this->cart->getProducts();

        foreach ($products as $product) {
            $product_total = 0;

            foreach ($products as $product_2) {
                if ($product_2['product_id'] == $product['product_id']) {
                    $product_total += $product_2['quantity'];
                }
            }

            if ($product['minimum'] > $product_total) {

Could anyone have any idea why this doesn't work or another way of disabling the checkout on Sundays?

Answer 1

If you put this line below befoe the redirection, the error message will show up.

$this->session->data['error'] = 'Sorry we are closed on Sundays';

here is code after the change

    class ControllerCheckoutCheckout extends Controller {
        public function index() {
            // Validate cart has products and has stock.
            if ((!$this->cart->hasProducts() && empty($this->session->data['vouchers'])) || (!$this->cart->hasStock() && !$this->config->get('config_stock_checkout'))) {
            $this->response->redirect($this->url->link('checkout/cart'));
            }
    
            if (date("l") == "Sunday") {
                $this->session->data['error'] = 'Sorry we are closed on Sundays';
                $this->response->redirect($this->url->link('checkout/cart'));
            }
