Cronjobs
Installation
During installation, you will be prompted to set up our cronjobs to run at various intervals, according to the name of the scripts in the _cron folder.
Site Modules Cronjobs
The code to be executed will be placed in the site modules cronjob folder and will be run collectively by the cronjob handler files located in _cron. For more information, refer to the developers' documentation in the Site Modules Area.
Each subfolder within the _cron folder corresponds to a specific cron job interval. These subfolders include:
_daily: Contains cron jobs that run daily._monthly: Contains cron jobs that run monthly._hourly: Contains cron jobs that run hourly._weekly: Contains cron jobs that run weekly._yearly: Contains cron jobs that run yearly.
Developers can add their own cron job files in the appropriate subfolders. The files must follow the naming convention cron.*.php to be auto-included by the core system.
Cron Files will be executed by CLI and so no Site Module is initialized when cron starts. You need to fetch required data and variables out of the database to work with them. You have access to following information:
