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

There may be a bug with your ajax_cron.php ... I was getting a Database Error with the Cron. I contacted vbulletin support and they told me the error is actually a known bug in the /includes/cron/activate.php.

Can read about it here http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/bugs3...view&bugid=639

Well I found out that the error is actually coming from ajax_cron.php .... So I thought I'd come here and let you know. The error I'm getting is

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.0:

INSERT INTO useractivation

MySQL Error : Column count doesn't match value count at row 1 Error Number : 1136

I'm guessing this is related. Atleast I hope ..... :-s

(I did omit my site link and the ip address)

No. vB AJAX Cron merely initiates the runing of the scripts. You would have gotten this error the old way too
As they said, it's a bug in activate.php

Do the fix they recomended.

instead of a small piece of html to show an image, we now have?

A bigger piece.... nice!

Code Monkey · #78 09-06-2006, 01:14 PM

And where would that be?

Exitilus · #79 09-06-2006, 05:57 PM

I've done the fix. But the error sems to be coming from ajax_cron.php

Code Monkey · #80 09-07-2006, 02:20 AM

That is just the main script that is including the one with the error. It is not coming from ajax_cron.php. You can have another coder look at it if you don't trust my judgement.

Exitilus · #81 09-07-2006, 07:00 PM

Nope

I trust your judgement

I think I was half asleep when I made the previous reply *lol*

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