Board Optimization - vB AJAX Cron

vB AJAX Cron From vBModder.com

This is such a small but useful mod that I decided to give it away free. This mod will replace your sheduled task image code at the bottom of your pages and run your sheduled tasks via an AJAX call.

AJAX is asyncronous and offers true background running of sheduled tasks. This does not change anything with the actual tasks or the scripts that run them. It merely replaces the method that initiates the running of those scripts.

There are no template edits of any kind. Simply upload the files to your forumhome directory and import the product xml file.

This should work in any vb or custom script in any directory.
Full support will only be given at vbmodder.com

I will support it here as time permits.


Enjoy

Don't forget to click install if you use it.




******************************************
Do not use this with vb 3.5x! There is a difference in the cron table.
The 3.5x version can be found here

Well, in your solution, when you are in the goto/all_galleries directory and the cron fires you are going to get the following error.

File does not exist: /home/thep/public_html/goto/all_galleries/forums/ajax_cron.php

You haven't gotten it yet because there was most likely no cron to run at that time.

No, I changed the code so the final $_link is $_link = "/forums/ajax_cron.php"; which would be /home/thep/public_html/forums/ajax_cron.php

No it won't be if you are in goto/galleries. The link code gets appended to the current working directory. But hey, do as you wish. I can't help you without a link so I will come up with a solution that best works for eveyone.

Have a nice day.

One option I have is to just use the full link in $vbulletin->options['bburl']. The problem with that is the security measures of http and AJAX requests. If the url in $vbulletin->options['bburl'] has http://www.site.com and someone is on your site having typed in http://site.com without the www then it will give a no permision error. And visa versa. The domain must be the same.

I think I will just try that and see if I can detect the difference.

That has nothing to do with this mod. This mod doesn't change any of the crons that run. Nor does it use any mysql functions. Something is wrong on that page.

[Code Monkey]

Updated. This should now work on any pages. The problem above should be fixed. The fix actually eliminated many lines of php code.

If you just downloaded the update you need to re-download. I put the wrong js file in. Time for bed.

Thx again for Update !

No, I changed the code like you just did for the update. Starting a link with a / puts it in the home html dir, it does not append it to the current dir.
