• Hello Fabrik Community

    Fabrik is now in the hands of the development team that brought you Fabrik for Joomla 4. We have recently transitioned the Fabrik site over to a new server and are busy trying to clean it up. We have upgraded the site to Joomla 4 and are running the latest version of Fabrik 4. We have also upgraded the Xenforo forum software to the latest version. Many of the widgets you might have been used to on the forum are no longer operational, many abandoned by the developers. We hope to bring back some of the important ones as we have time.

    Exciting times to be sure.

    The Fabrik 4.0 Official release is now available. In addition, the Fabrik codebase is now available in a public repository. See the notices about these in the announcements section

    We wish to shout out a very big Thank You to all of you who have made donations. They have really helped. But we can always use more...wink..wink..

    Also a big Thank You to those of you who have been assisting others in the forum. This takes a very big burden off of us as we work on bugs, the website and the future of Fabrik.

Scheduled task system plugin

  • The scheduled task system plug-in has no parameters that need to be set except to ensure that it is published.

    This plug-in is required to be installed and published if you want to use Fabrik's Scheduled Tasks features.

    If enabled, when a user accesses a page on the site (not an administrator page), the plug-in checks all of Fabrik's published Scheduled tasks. If any task needs to be run Fabrik will run that task.

    While a task is running, its published state is set to 2 (running) and when successfully completed its published state is returned to 1.

    This means that multiple occurances of a scheduled task will not run at the same time. However, if the task produces an error it may not be reset to 1, effectively meaning that the scheduled task will no longer run.

    You can see these tasks by filtering the list on 'archived' or 'all'. They will appear with their status column showing an alert icon.

    If you need accurate Scheduled tasks, which are not dependant on a user hitting the home page, then you should set up a cron job on your server or use a webservice such as https://www.setcronjob.com to trigger a front end page load.
