rebuild forum info help...

[meowmeow]

i'd like to put this process in the sceduled tasks... so that it basically does an update of the forums once a day!
when in the scheduled task page, in the field
"filename" what file would i have to put there???

I saw that when running this process it does this:
..../admincp/misc.php?do=updateforum&startat=0&perpage=100

can I run this entire code form the scheduled tasks?

[meowmeow]

or should i copy the script from misc.php do==updateforum
and create another file, say myCounters.php,
and run that???

Could you post your myCounters.php script here please? I just need to rebuild 1 forum every night and I want to automate it.

I gutted the misc.php source and created a UpdateForum.php module:

PHP Code:

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'updateforum')
{
    build_forum_permissions($forum['757']);
    vbflush();
    unset($forum['757'], $vbulletin->forumcache);
} 


Now my SQL query runs replacing the forum password:

PHP Code:

UPDATE forum SET PASSWORD = '<new pass>' WHERE forumid = 757; 


Then I run /forums/admincp/UpdateForum.php?do=updateforum and the password is reset!
