JCron Scheduler is a Joomla component for Cron Tasks Management and Scheduling!
With it's very intuitive cronjob setup interface you can now run cronjobs on your site at preset periods of time with just a few clicks!
It's purpose is to simulate cron jobs through Joomla front end interface at preset periods of time for users who either don't have access to the server crontab or don't want to use it for any purpose!
How it works:
- first install the JCron component avalaible through the DOWNLOAD link
- in your Configuration area you will see a button called "Enable CRON RUN"
- by clicking that a code will be inserted into your template so cronjobs can be launched at their preset time from within your Joomla site
- after that, by clicking the "Disable CRON RUN", the code will be removed if you haven't done any modifications to it
Note*: the cronjob is launched at the preset time only if your site gets visits in place, each time a user or spider accesses your site you will have the cron running, else you might consider a server side solution!
Note**: to execute the cron jobs, we use the PHP exec() function, so your provider must have it enabled! |
