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

Without a website to look at there is not much anyone can do for you.

Sweet, thanks!

Installed on 3.6.5, works great.

Sometimes I feel real sorry for developers answering so many repeated/stupid questions.

Awesome! Working fine in 3.6.7 PL1. I can tell my pages are loading faster, plus it fixed a nagging cron not found bug in a couple of hacks I have. Thanks for this!

This causes the php file to run which in turn runs the next scheduled task. This can, depending on the cron to run and the size of the site, cause a browser to seemingly hang until the script is finished running. This happens because this is a syncronous event. Meaning, it's waiting for the page to finish loading the image.

This mod replaces that with an asyncronous AJAX call to the cron script.

The image code has served vb well but with the advent of AJAX type methods there is a cleaner way to do it. That's what this does.
And it did make my board faster.
Btw, does this also work if there are no users browsing the board?
The standard VBcron doesn't work without users browsing the site

It should work with any guest viewing that has javascript enabled. Other than that there has been a request for years for server cron versions of all the default scheduled task at vBulletin.com.

It makes a background task asynchronous rather than synchronous which will return the visitors control of their browser sooner and therefor be seemingly faster to the user.
