Hi Connie,

The thing with the Umbraco scheduler Post 4.5 version is that you can't rely on it, that's why you find so many issues with scheduled publishing on this forum. I need to rewrite this package in a way that it's more stable and using it's own scheduling mechanism maybe a HTTP Module since that's always running.

When it's done I will be adding it to this thread.

Best,

Richard

Hi,

i have installed the Taskscheduler package fine, but i can't have it running at all. The scheduler taks gets created in the database just fine but nothing is running.

Another thing, does the Taskscheduler need to know or has anything to do with the settinggs in the UmbracoSettings.config file:

<scheduledTasks>

    <!-- add tasks that should be called with an interval (seconds) -->

    <!--    <task log="true" alias="test60" interval="60" url="http://localhost/umbraco/test.aspx"/>-->    

  </scheduledTasks>

is it possible to have these settings to run on certain time on a specific day?

can you please help as i really need this running ASAP. thanks :)

Hi Farouk,

Yes you need to add http://[your domain here]/umbraco/plugins/taskscheduler/Handlers/ScheduledTaskHandler.ashx as url in the scheduled tasks.

The rest will be checked by the package.

Hi Richard,

Thanks for the reply. i added the URL in the <scheduledTasks> section in the umbracoSettings.config and still can't get the TaskScheduler to fire :(

<scheduledTasks>  

    <task log="true" alias="TaskScheduler" interval="300" url="http://localhost:8080/umbraco/plugins/taskscheduler/Handlers/ScheduledTaskHandler.ashx" />

  </scheduledTasks>

any suggestions?

This scheduler needs to ping the scheduled task in on the exact same time as the item is scheduled so set interval to 60 please.

setting the interval to 60 seconds caused the scheduler to fire on the set time. Now i am looking to fire this schedular every week at a specific time, i hope it will work provided the activity of the site.

Thanks for your help Richard
