Great! I'm just starting out with PHP and any tips are appreciated. Thanks. -- Rik

Another example that should fix all Re:'s no matter if it's in upper or lower-case. :)

Has anyone managed to get this to work using the internal scheduler in vBulletin? We're a small board on a shared server hosted at GoDaddy and I'm not sure we have access to an external scheduler...

What kind of problem are you having?

For 15 hours yesterday and this morning, the scheduled task (retrieving messages forwarded to an email account from a Yahoo group) ran ONLY if I ran the task manually. Now, all of a sudden, it seems to have started working. Let me give it 24-48 hours to test more thoroughly and I'll be back... (sounds like a threat, doesn't it?)

Thanks...

Ignore.

I've had the same problem but not only for this hack - all scheduling seem to have stopped here too.

I'm totally baffled. The gateway works, no problem. But the scheduler is a disaster. It starts, it stops, no error messages, no nothing. I can't figure it out for the life of me.

Is there an external scheduler for a GoDaddy shared hosting account?

I hate to say it but the vb scheduler has worked flawlessly for us over the past several months that we have had this mod installed.

I have the log entries disabled and we run the gateway.php script hourly. I can't think of any reason it would operate manually but not operate under the scheduler except some conflict with the logging because almost all other options are simply for times/day, etc.

Sorry, I know that doesn't help much except to say that it can work flawlessly via the scheduler.

Regards. -- Rik :o

As long as it CAN work, I'll keep plugging away, Rik, and I appreciate the info -- it gives me some hope!
