refresh homefeatured with a cron job

[DegustibusGbR]

Hi,

Anyone knows how to set up a cron job to refresh the homefeatured module?

 

It happens often that some product is disabled and it still appears in the homefeatured section until I manually enter the module configuration and press on the save button.

 

Thanks

Try to make a new php file in the modules directory, put this code in:

<?php

 require_once('../../config/config.inc.php');
 require_once ('homefeatured.php');
 $m = new HomeFeatured();
 $m->_clearCache('*');

And then run this file in a cron (not tested but I think it should work).

Thanks  , it works like a charm after changing a bit the relative paths. 

I placed the php file in a folder under the modules directory and used your code with the changes mentioned above.

<?php

 require_once('../../config/config.inc.php');
 require_once ('../homefeatured/homefeatured.php');
 $m = new HomeFeatured();
 $m->_clearCache('*');

I actually ment putting it in the homefatured module directory, not the "modules" directory, should be better to maintain, but both ways work.
