I Don't Understand Cronjobs

Hi there,

Let me start by confirming that I am a newbie! I read the EasySocial documentation and Randall's documentation (definitely should get him and Stackideas working together ) and I half understand it but not really. I logged in to my Chanel and I do have CronjobsHi set up to every 5 minutes like it says on the Stackideas documentation page. However, I do not know what to fill in as the command?

Any help or explanation will be greatly appreciated!
Hello David,

If you take a look at the documentation here, http://docs.stackideas.com/administrators/cronjobs/cpanel_cronjobs , the command should actually be 



/bin/wget -O /dev/null "http://site.com/index.php?option=com_easysocial&cron=true"


You need to get the absolute path to "wget" from your hosting provider

I get a 'JSON Parse Failed' error from my host (Arvixe) when I try to add the following CRON:

/bin/wget -O /dev/null "http://musicmaker.me/index.php?option=com_easysocial&cron=true";

Any ideas?

Hello John,

I am really sorry for the delay, got occupied with the developments. Can you please provide us with the back end and FTP access to the site?
