Hi,

I realized that my contact invitations was not been sended, and taking a look in the admin component i found a tab named "email activity" where i see that i need to set a cronjob, but i don´t know how to do this..

Can you giveme some inputs about this? or theres a tutorial to do this?... and for another things or actions for the users where i need to create this cronjobs.

Whats the cronjob command to send this email contact invitations that the users made to invite some others?

Thanks!

Hi Izzan thanks,

i read the documentation but i still don´t know what would be the command i have to write in the command field.. thats the only thing i need, to set this specific cronjob and send this contact invitations.

Or theres an option in the email activity section that i can choose.. i mean for example purge sent or purge pending... will send the emails... i don´t know what means to purge in this case..

Updateme please

Thanks!

Hello Fabian.

You can try this following cron command but replace yoursite.com with your domain url.

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


In email activity section, purge means delete. If you click on purge pending, it will delete all of your pending email.

If you still don't how to setup the cronsjob, can you provide us with Cpanel, joomla backend and FTP access so we can help you to setup cronsjob for you?
