NAME

FS::rate_time - Object methods for rate_time records

SYNOPSIS

 use FS::rate_time;

 $record = new FS::rate_time \%hash;
 $record = new FS::rate_time { 'column' => 'value' };

 $error = $record->insert;

 $error = $new_record->replace($old_record);

 $error = $record->delete;

 $error = $record->check;

DESCRIPTION

An FS::rate_time object represents a time period for selection of CDR billing rates. FS::rate_time inherits from FS::Record. The following fields are currently supported:

ratetimenum
primary key
ratetimename
A label (like "Daytime" or "Weekend").

METHODS

new HASHREF
Creates a new example. To add the example to the database, see "insert".
Note that this stores the hash reference, not a distinct copy of the hash it points to. You can ask the object for a copy with the hash method.
insert
Adds this record to the database. If there is an error, returns the error, otherwise returns false.
delete
Delete this record from the database.
replace OLD_RECORD
Replaces the OLD_RECORD with this one in the database. If there is an error, returns the error, otherwise returns false.
check
Checks all fields to make sure this is a valid example. If there is an error, returns the error, otherwise returns false. Called by the insert and replace methods.
intervals
Return the FS::rate_time_interval objects included in this rating period.
contains TIME
Return the FS::rate_time_interval object that contains the specified time-of-week (in seconds from the start of Sunday). The primary use of this is to test whether that time falls within this rating period.
description
Returns a list of arrayrefs containing the starting and ending times of each interval in this period, in a readable format.
