Change task time

[Square Wheels]

Is there a way to edit when tasks are run?  I have the birthday mod installed and it is sending the birthday post out at the end of the day, it used to send it at the beginning of the day.

I can see the task, I can run it manually, but I can see how to change when it runs.

You would pop in to the database to tweak that, in the core_tasks table - take a look at the frequency (self-explanatory information in it) and next_run columns (unix timestamp for the next run of the task....you would need to get that set a time after midnight (or at noon, or whatever) and not before midnight.

But if you run it manually at x time, then that should reset the next_run to be "x modified by the frequency" without you needing to modify the database.

Although, personally I'd be approaching the mod author to ask for assistance on modifying the task in the mod itself.

Thanks, I'll see if I can edit it.  I did ask the mod author if it can be fixed.

 

I just ran it manually in the ACP, it's now set to run 24 hours from now.  I'll try running it tomorrow morning, then hopefully it will run every morning.
