• 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.

  • Introduction​


    The cron PHP plugin allows you to run PHP scripts on a regular basis. This can be useful for setting up custom notifications, running maintenance work on your data etc.

    The PHP scheduled task plugin will only run if the Fabrik Cron System Plug-in is installed.

    Options​


    cron-php.png

    • PHP Script - Located in plugins/fabrik_cron/php/scripts this is the script that will be run
    • PHP Set up - Allows you to define variables which can then be accessed in your PHP script. This allows you to create more generic scripts whose parameters can then be modified from this editor window.
    On recent version, if you want your script not being triggered any more, you may add the following line :
    PHP:
    $this->shouldReschedule(false);
    It should be at the end of the script or followed by a "return;" statement if you want to immediatly "exit" the script. It will be unpublished, and a log line to that effect added.

    Set variable $processed in your php code to get the number in Fabrik's backend "Run" message "xy records updated".
