Wow, works great.

If I may make a suggestion. It would be nice to have an "Expire" option. That way the topic can be automatically delete.

Did find one possible bug. I had scheduled two new topics to be created on the same day/time. I created three copies of each of the topics. I will see if this happens if there are scheduled on the same day but a minute apart.

Had to uninstall the mod :(

It appears to have been generating 1000s of errors in our server logs and was causing some problem with the server where I then could not access the following Admin Functions:


  • Core Features
  • Features and Options
  • Security and Moderation
  • Languages
  • Server Settings
  • Modification Settings
  • Tapatalk Settings

What were the errors?

Sorry, I did not copy the errors. My Server Admin informed me of the errors and I opted to uninstall the mod.

Why was it not approved, vbgamer? Were there too many errors? Is this MOD stable and compatible with 2.0.2?

vbgamer45

No idea too many hoops to go though so gave up but you can download from my personal site at smfhacks.com works fine.

Hello,

I am trying out this mod. It seems promising, however I cannot figure out if I can set permissions for other membergroups to be able to schedule posts?

Currently, only I as an admin can see the option.

Any help?

Is there any other mod with the same/similar feature like this?

Gwenwyfar

Aww, its a shame you gave up :/

Would you mind if it was updated/modified by someone else? So someone else could continue with it at least.

I found it pretty neat, specially since my forum has a couple posts every week that need to be posted at the same time, for weekly competitions, and other very useful things to do with it, but it doesn't work very well. It only posts if you go to the /cronpost.php page (which means it gets a tad pointless...), and sometimes it gives an error when trying to access one of the admin pages. Same thing needing to access the cronpost.php with either fake jobs on or off. Also the new post doesn't show up on index.

It is actually under review again by our team ;)

Oh, that's nice to hear, will be waiting for it! :)

Tested now to see if I didn't do anything wrong and you were actually supposed to use /cronpost.php before so it could start the schedule, but nope, it posts things before the given time if you do that.

Hmm it shouldn't the cronpost.php should be called by cron job if using SMF 1.1.x for SMF 2.0.x it should use the built in SMF  task scheduler.
