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

Why don't you just update and be done with it?

It's all done in the javascript now.

Do you have any mods that have a plugin for the cron_start hook? I have never seen one that uses this hook but you never know.

What am I supposed to do with that? Just look in your plugins and see if one is using cron_start.

Brollie, you first posted that error over a week ago (here) - long before this was even released. Please do not cross post and clutter up peoples modification threads with unrelated errors that clearly do not belong. Thanks.

Ah, I see. No fishing in my mod thread Bollie.

[ferrarislave]

how do I import the feed?

[Code Monkey]

Import the feed?

You mean the product xml?

Just go into your plugin manager and click on products (not plugins) and then at the bottom of the product list click the add product link. Then use the browse button to find the file on your hard drive then click install/import or whatever its called.

If anyone is using a plugin that needs the cron_start hook (I have never seen one) please let me know. This mod will break it if it does since it's not using cron.php where the hook exists. If this is a problem for anyone I will have to come up with a work around. I doubt it but you never know.

Thank you very much, not only is this cool in its own, but it also solved a problem I had to deal with which vBulletin Support was not able to figure out; why cron jobs didn't run on my particular setup.
This, however, runs them perfectly. Im going to vBulletin.com to petition this becoming a stock vB feature.
