Vbulletin/Rssposter.php Need it to run without Cronimage,
Hiya
I've been at this for days, posting on vbulletin.org & vbulletin.com trying to get a resolution, but theres no joy.
Heres what I'm after
On vbulletin, I have a rssposter which pulls rss feeds and automatically posts them as a thread. This is brilliant but it only runs the task when a user enters the forum and triggers the cronimage file. I want it to run without the need of a user to trigger it. I would like it to run say every 30min indefinite.
So i've set up a cron job on my server, to run this cron file, which runs the rssposter, but it still doesn't work. I don't know whether its the cron coding, or my server messing things up. Heres the code:
PHP Code:
// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ########################### error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE); ignore_user_abort(1); @set_time_limit(0);
// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS ####################### define('SKIP_SESSIONCREATE', 1); define('NOCOOKIES', 1); define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'cron'); define('CSRF_PROTECTION', true);
// #################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ###################### // get special phrase groups $phrasegroups = array();
// get special data templates from the datastore $specialtemplates = array();
// pre-cache templates used by all actions $globaltemplates = array();
// pre-cache templates used by specific actions $actiontemplates = array();
// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################ require_once('./global.php'); require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_cron.php');
// ####################################################################### // ######################## START MAIN SCRIPT ############################ // ####################################################################### $filedata = vb_base64_decode('R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAMDAwAAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw=='); $filesize = strlen($filedata);
// browser will think there is no more data if content-length is what is returned // regardless of how long the script continues to execute, apart from IIS + CGI
header('Content-type: image/gif');
if (!(strpos($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], 'Microsoft-IIS') !== false AND strpos(SAPI_NAME, 'cgi') !== false)) { header('Content-Length: ' . $filesize); header('Connection: Close'); }
if (!$vbulletin->options['crontab']) { echo $filedata; flush(); }
($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('cron_start')) ? eval($hook) : false;
exec_cron(17); $db->close(); } }
If anyone could help me out, i would much appreciate it. Or if anyone else could give me a solution to the task I want to create. I would be most greatful
Thanks for reading

Re: Vbulletin/Rssposter.php Need it to run without Cronimage,
If it works when the user triggers it through loading a file, but not through the cron job then there are only 2 possible reasons...
- User privileges in the cron job
- Incorrect cron job setup
If the post was helpful...Rate it! Remember to use [code] or [php] tags.
