Symphony.

@Nils.. that's like effort :)

Is anyone running an automated/timed XML-Import in Symphony 2.6.3? The Cron extension seems to be broken. How would we go about this in 2015 or even 2016? :)

Here’s an extract from a discusion with @brendo from gitter for archival’s sake:

• correct
• Is there any reason you can’t use a normal cron and just curl the XML importer URL?

• Still investigating. I don’t have access to the actual host this site will be on yet.

• ah fair enough
• well that’s an optional too
• each importer has a unique URL that you can hit to execute
• Usually we create a ‘cron author’, and then append their access token to the URL to auto log them in

• So I’m trying a few things. Bur CURLing sounds like the most simple way. I have only just grasped the idea :·)
• Ahhhhh! Thats what the remote-thingy is for! I always wondered m(
• And: very very whitty!
• This way curl can even run from any server. Brilliant!
