Cron

By Packet Tide
API/Headless Templating Utilities
Free

Description

Call other add-ons on a regular, scheduled basis. Anything you can do in a template, you can cron it!

Allows the calling of plugin and module scripts on a regular, scheduled basis. Unlike a true server cron that can be scheduled to the second, it is triggered by hits to the page that includes your cron tag. It should be used on templates that get regular traffic, or that are themselves accessed by a server cron.

This is the main Cron plugin, that other Cron-related plugin editions require.

Run this cron once every minute of every hour on the 1st, 15th, and 31st day of every month:

{exp:cron minute="*" hour="*" day="1,15,31" month="*"}
    Do whatever you want here!
{/exp:cron}

Or trigger specific methods from other plugins:

{exp:cron minute="*" hour="*" day="1,15,31" month="*" plugin="send_email:mailinglist"}{/exp:cron}
