Hi,
I have successfully installed Reminder in my phpnuke website, just wonder how the sending process works:

Is needed someone to browse some pages of the website to check the date and send the pending reminders (footer.php) .... or
all the thing is managed automatically?

thanks & bye

Hi,

Of course everything is done automatically.

The triggerer code is inserted in footer.php.

Every page loaded on your site has included footer.php so you don't need to browse specific pages.

At the begining of the day a check is done in order to see if there are any reminder set to that day. Actually the first visitor of your site in a day trigger this action.

If your page isn't visited at least by one visitor in a day, a reminder set for that day will not be sent[but will be sent next day].

Also you must take in account the offset of time server. If the reminder comes later or earlier [few hours] than you expect it is because of that.

Hi Aikon,
thanks for your prompt reply,

so basically if no visitor is present in a day next visitor will trigger the reminder in the following days?

If yes, is there a way to do it automatically, without the need of having visitors in your website?

I am actually trying to modify your module so as to insert a recurrence (daily, weekly and yearly) if interested, when I will test it I can give you back the code.

best regards and thanks again

That's right.

Yes it is.With Cronjob.
You can set a cronjob to acces your page[website], every day, at a selected time. This will trigger the dailly check.

Actually, when I worked on first release I was thinking about this, but I didn't thought that this module will be that succesfull[even if is a good idea]. In v2.0 this feature will be present.
