Many of my module allows use CRON for automatic processing.
Unfortunately, because each hosting uses something different to set up CRON, I do not know the correct syntax for cPanel. On my hosting is not cPanel, so I do not use cPanel. Usually it’s something like that:
* / 15 **** / path / to / command.
or for example something like this:
/usr/local/bin/php -q export_cron_job.php
But sometimes is set up cPanel very frustrating… I found a simple ( and free under certain conditions or from $7.95 per Year in paid version) service to set CRON: http://www.easycron.com/ I think it will be sometime easier than setting cron on your hosting. Simply copy and put cron link from my module into “URL to call” and setup time to call (for example every 10 minutes).
http://www.easycron.com setup:
Example for NVN Export Orders
For each setting you can use own link. Each link are listed in part “Export”, see image.
Alternative solution
Or you can also use internal PrestaShop module like Crontab for PS or Cron task manager.
CRON problem on some server
If CRON link not work usually problem is with parameters after “?” in link.
In this case use option “Select if CRON problem” (this option is added from version 2.7.9)
Hi, we’re having problems making the Orders Export module run by a cron job.
Does the module not support sites running with SSL certificate (https) ?
Hi,
if CRON link not work usually problem is with parameters after “?” in link. (this is not only SSL problem, but cron configuration)
In this case use option “Select if CRON problem” (this option is added from version 2.7.9)
(see image above how to)
Thank you for response …
You’re saying that the option is added from version 2.7.9 – But according to my module the latest version available is 2.7.3 ?
Yes, info about last version in module is not actualized 🙂
