Forum help on how to convert a php widget to a sheduled task.

محروم.كوم · #1 01-22-2013, 04:30 AM

Hello.
The code here is taken from this page http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=236402

I have modified it and posted it on that forum for questions, but thought i should try here.

I know little of php or the inner workings of vbulletin 4 , i have come to a point where i am stuck.

I modified the code to generate an rss file from the calendar.(maybe badly

the code is inside an invisible widget on my website pages ( so it runs every time a page loads (bad idea)

I will place the code below thats in the widget, but how / what do i do in order to put this code inside a cron/event2rss.php file and run via asheduled task?

Many thanks in advance.

Carl

PHP Code:
ob_start();
global $db,$vbulletin;
$calendarid="1";
$per_page = "60";
//################################################
$d=date("d");
$m=date("m");
$y=date("y");
$sdate = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("$m"), date("$d"), date("$y"));
$edate = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("$m"), date("31"), date("$y"));
$and=" and dateline_from >= '".$sdate."'";
$getevents=$db->query_read("SELECT eventid, event, title, customfields, dateline_from from " . TABLE_PREFIX . "event WHERE calendarid='".$calendarid."' $and order by dateline_from ASC LIMIT $per_page");
$count=0;
if(!$db->num_rows($getevents))
{
}
else
{
WHILE ($events=$db->fetch_array($getevents))
{
$eventdetails=$events['event'];

$eventdetails=substr($eventdetails, 0, 300);
$eventdetails .= "......";
$customfield=$events['customfields'];
$customfield = str_replace('a:0:{}', '', $customfield );
$customfield =strstr ($customfield, '"');
$customfield = str_replace('"', '', $customfield );
$customfield = str_replace(';}', '', $customfield );
$dtitle=$events['title'];

$date = vbdate('d-m-y',$events['dateline_from'], false,true,false,true);

if ($count = 2){$class="alt2";}else {$class="alt1";}
$year=date("Y");

$eventbits .="";

}
