JoomlaPlug!

I am so lost when it comes to the cron job portion of this software. I dont' understand anything about the settings. Can someone give me a step by step instruction on how to schedule the cron jobs so they work once per day?

Thanks,

Hi there! Well first you need to start reading here about it http://www.joomlaplug.com/Tools/JoomlaPlug_Tools/JCron_Scheduler.html

Basically you have to do 2 things:

- first go in JCron Config area and try to enable it(click the green button)
- second, go in the manage cron area and click on add a new cron

On that page you have 2 options for a cron job type, execute the cron by adding a link or by adding a shell command! I would suggest to first try the shell command(exmaple: "php /home/.../administrator/components/com_cloner/cloner.cron.php&quot, also check the checkboxes from below the page so the cronjob gets logged when executed!

Some more info about cron jobs and how they works is here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron

Let me know if you have further questions, and tell me where exactly are you stuck with the component?
