Good afternoon.
Do not send emails with alerts. I have read that it is necessary to use a cronjob. Where can I read about him and where can I find the scripts send mail?
Hi Nick,

Ah I see. The file that are responsible for the cronjob is /components/com_easysocial/cron.php . However if you want to use this, you need to modify cron.php to use your site url at line 19,
$host		= 'site.com';
// change to
$host = 'yoursite.com';
// replace yoursite.com with your domain name


Hope these help.

Hey Nick,

You can actually learn more about what cronjobs really are at http://stackideas.com/docs/easysocial/administrators/cronjobs/cronjobs . Do you need us to assist you with setting up cronjobs?

Yes, I'm not quite figured out these cronjob. My hosting support cronjob, but I do not know how often and which files to run for notification in the mail.

Hey Nick,

You can follow our documentation here instead on how to configure cronjob in cpanel for example, http://stackideas.com/docs/easysocial/administrators/cronjobs/cpanel-cronjobs .

I do not know how often to run for notification in the mail.

You can set the interval at around 5 minutes per cron to minimize the load on your server but quick enough for the notification email to arrive to your users.

How to set cronjob I understood. I did not understand exactly what php files are listed for launching. As an example of the settings specified Spanel /bin/wget -O /dev/null "http://site.com/index.php?option=com_easysocial&cron=true";, but my hosting allows files to run only with respect to its root, that is, for example /public_html/test.php, so the script generates this error: Could not open input file: /home/d/denver17/bin/wget. Maybe there's some php file that can be run to send?

Hi Josef,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply. Can you start a new thread instead and provide us with the following information so we can check on the issue directly on your site?
1) Joomla backend access
2) FTP access
3) Cpanel access to check on your cronjob command
