Accessing $vbulletin->options from a scheduled task

[penagate]

Hi all,

I am developing a scheduled task (cron). When I run this manually via the Scheduled Task Manager, it works perfectly. However, when invoked via the cron scheduler, only a very limited set of items are available in the $vbulletin->options array; this breaks my script.

Does anyone know how I can ensure that the options I require are read into the options array in this situation?

Thoughts appreciated.

Cheers,

Which options are you missing?

Almost everything, but specifically the ones in the setting group for my custom product.

I worked around this by reading them manually from the database, but I'm still curious to know why they're not loaded. As I say, every option is loaded when the script is run manually through the ACP.
