Plugin to Access Cron | Forum

I created a cron.php file in the plugin folder and added some code by taking other plugins as reference.

Is there anything else to do for the plugin specific cron to work ?

The question here is how to do cron jobs specific for my plugin.

When I involve run() method, cron is working.

I want to schedule the plugin cron based on the time/hour provided by the user. How can I do this?

EX: Daily or Weekly or Monthly based on Day and Time provided by user.

Any help? It's me only posting in this topic. No help from Oxwall team. :(

You can easily specify the period of your cronjob using parameter in `addJob` method. Period should be specified in minutes. Examples:

// once a day

$this->addJob('checkPluginUpdates', 60 * 24); 

// every minute 

$this->addJob('deleteExpiredOnlineUserProcess', 1);

How about the following cases:

in a particular day of a month(2nd day of every month at 6 PM)
in a particular day of a week(Tuesday 8 PM every week)
