Auto Lock Old Topics

[Arantor]

As in, there is already a mod for deletion too, it's just not publicly visible right this moment.

Will this mod work on smf 2.1.2?

You can check the COMPATIBLE WITH field for mods to see on what version(s) of Smf they will work.

Just tested this so the answer to your question is no, not without emulation (which I didn't test).

Doug's advice is valid though. Check what it IS compatible with. Then if you want to try and install it, backup everything and give it a try. Much better if you could try it on a test forum though.

I have taken up a little project to see if I can port this mod to SM2.1 and make it hooks only.

Just looking for an example mod to find what hook(s) to use for the maintenance task? Anyone can give a hint with an example or what Hook to use for the maintenance task?

Thanks in advance...

Use the callable option in the scheduled tasks table to reference an external file/function, since call_helper should be able to load the file from that if you pass it in correctly when setting it up.

The syntax you will want will be filename.php|function_to_call in that file.

Check out my RSS Feed Poster plugin has a scheduled task option .

@rcane literally none of my advice there was meant for you, nor is any of it relevant to you, unless you upgraded to 2.1 already... it's an implementation shorthand on implementing this specific problem as posed by the person before me.

[rcane]

Yeah I saw that.  I put that in my reason for editing—that it was the wrong thread I was looking at.

I got the mod working, but there is one thing that puzzles me...

I added a scheduled task to the smf_scheduled_tasks table
This task refers to auto_lock
You cannot view this attachment.

I also included a function "scheduled_auto_lock" into my source
You cannot view this attachment.

Now the task is showing in the admin panel, and when I execute it (manually), it succesfully executes...
But I do not know how it gets to call the function "scheduled_auto_lock" or even loads the source file because I do not call it anywhere for the task execution?

What am I mssing here?

Hold the phone, finally your directions sunk in... this must be what I was missing... should have read better before I posted... lemme check that first

Guess this is what was intended...

Well, seems it still needs something else?

Okay, I managed to make the mod completely working on SMF2.1, but I had to make one file edit: did not manage to make it all hooks :-(

The only way I could get the task to run scheduled was by making this code change...

Code Select Expand

<file name="$sourcedir/ScheduledTasks.php">
<operation>
<search position="end" />
<add><![CDATA[

function scheduled_auto_lock()
{
global $sourcedir;

require_once($sourcedir . '/Auto_lock.php');
auto_lock_topics();

return true;
}

]]></add>
</operation>
</file>

</modification>

@vbgamer45 if you you interested I can share the updated Mod code with you if you want to release it for SMF2.1...

[vbgamer45]

Sure, that would be great

[Diego Andrés]

I believe pre_include hook might do the trick to make it hooks only?

[@rjen]

I believe pre_include hook might do the trick to make it hooks only?

let's check that. I guess your idea is to just call the mod source file with the pre_include hook?

[@rjen]

Fixed, all hooks. I'll send a copy to vbgamer

[Arantor]

You don't even need hooks for the scheduled task itself - your issue with the row in the database table is that you used a / as the separator and not a | as the code requires...
