This FREE module brings Scheduled Tasks to 68Classifieds. Define your own
functions to be run when your timers are triggered. The trigger can
be any of the following:
a Scheduled Task (Windows-based servers)
a Cron job (Unix-based servers)
a simple URL executed at will (from a browser bookmark for example)
Actions can be defined in other modules and/or in functions
(userfunctions.php). This allows a very broad range of actions to be
performed with this module.
Features
Scheduled Tasks are secured with a password to prevent unauthorized execution of timers
Includes its own admin area within your 68C AdminCP (to configure the password and help with configuration)
Automated install - zero code and template changes required
Built-in update check that lets you instantly check our server for new versions just by clicking a link
How Does It Work?
The site admin creates a special URL (link) that will launch
68Classified's main index.php with special parameters 'TimerName'
and 'TimerKey'. Civ_Timer intercepts this call and performs the
action associated with the TimerName. The action performed is a
function in either another module that is compatible with Civ_Timer
or, if you are handy with PHP, you can simply add your own action
functions in /modules/civ_timer/actionfunctions.php. Action functions
are only exectuted when the timer specified by TimerName is triggered.
The TimerKey parameter is a randomly generated password that
prevents unauthorized use of the module and associated call_hook()
function calls.
More detailed information is available in the Developers Quick-Start Guide.
