I am not familiar with cron jobs, but I see cron jobs in my cPanel. Can you give me instructions on how I need to set this up (see attachment) in cPanel to make it work with EasySocial. Also, what do I need to do on EasySocial's General settings tab. Thank you.
Hi,

You see where is reads Secure cronjob key

Add any secret word in there and then it will generate the link below.

You then add that command in Cpanel

Hi there,

Try here:
http://docs.stackideas.com/administrators/cronjobs/cpanel_cronjobs

You also need to set it up under Easy Social > settings > Cronjob Settings

Add a secret word then copy the link to the command in cpanel

Hope that helps
Regards

Hi Alex,

Thank you for your reply.

This is the part I am not sure how to setup:

You also need to set it up under Easy Social > settings > Cronjob Settings

Add a secret word then copy the link to the command in cpanel


Can you explain how I need to set "Enable secure cronjob url" and how I can include the Secure cronjob key in the cpanel command?

Right now my cPanel's command is set to:
/bin/wget -O /dev/null "http://ilovetheweb.us/music/index.php?option=com_easysocial&cron=true";

Thank you.

Hello Kaz,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. When you setup the key, the settings form will actually display the URL that you should use for the cronjob. Then, all you need to do is to replace the URL in the cronjob with the url that is provided on the settings page

Hi Mark,

Where exactly do I setup the key?
There does not seem to be any place that generates URL?
Please see the attachment from my initial post, and this attachment.

Thanks,

Kaz
