We would like to be able to manually send notifications to blog subscribers instead of using either a cron job or having them checked/sent on each page load.

So, for example, we would set "Send Emails on Page Load" to NO but not have a cron job installed.
Then when someone has posted a blog and the notification emails are in the 'pending' state, we would manually trigger them to be sent.

Can we do this by just visiting the url: http://yoursite.com/index.php?option=com_easyblog&task=cron in our browser?
If we do this, will it use the setting we have for 'Process how many emails at a time' or will it send all of the emails at once?

Many thanks!
Hello Richard,

Yep, if you disable the send email on page load and do not create any cronjobs, the only way to dispatch those mails is to access the URL manually.

In the latest version of EasyBlog, we have hardcoded it to send 20 e-mails at once as we realize customers are setting this to a very high value and causing their mails to be marked by spam on some reputable mail servers.

We intend to add the settings back in the next release by the way, because there are several users requesting for this settings.
