vB AJAX Cron · **Released**: 08-11-2006

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

I'm quite familiar with what is common around here. I was mocking the faulty system. Was a joke. Lighten up

This is a great idea and working perfectly. Thanks for this Code Monkey

Ok, 2 questions:

1 - How do you correct the link path to not get file not found errors on custom vb pages.

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

2 - Why do you not have to edit the footer template to take out the cronimage?

1. That is most likely happening because your Homepage url and Forumpage url settings, in vBulettin Options->Site Name / URL / Contact Details, are wrong. Please post what those settings are.

2. Because this mod takes care of all template edits and disposal on the fly.

Actually, I think I see what you mean in number one. I think I have a way around that.

Code Monkey · #28 08-13-2006, 03:08 AM

I'm going to need a link to those pages.

I dropped some code for the link and forumdir and changed the link to:

$_link = "/forums/ajax_cron.php";

And that works on all vb pages custom or not for my site.

But that will break it for many other sites so it is not a solution.

Well, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out based on what I said.

It is looking for /home/thep/public_html/goto/all_galleries/ajax_cron.php from /home/thep/public_html/goto/all_galleries/index.php when it should be looking for /home/thep/public_html/forums/ajax_cron.php

Something to do with your forumdir or string change functions.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
