Prestashop and cron jobs or cli

[sadlyblue 32]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to use cron jobs to set some things up and don't have to do them everyday.

One example is the currency rate update, another is the search indexation, and a few modules/scripts i wrote myself.

 

I found that include('config/config.inc.php'); doesn't work for me from cli (and a cron job).

The script haults at this line, doesn't do anything, doesn't output an error, even after i turned display errors,...

I could use wget, but it's not quite the same and it creates file in root.

My only solution was to include('config/settings.inc.php'); and use PDO to access the database. Which is ok, but this way i can't use the built in functions/classes/...

 

I reported on the currency update in http://forge.prestashop.com/browse/PSCFV-8879. The answer being it was fixed. Maybe it is, i haven't updated from 1.5.2. But cron_currency_rates.php is the same. And refreshCUrrencies seems the same in 1.5.4.1

 

Am i the only one with these problems? Has anyone found a solution?

Thanks

I have the same bug.

In PHP-CLI, this line doen't work correctly :

// line 90 from config.inc.php
$context->shop = Shop::initialize();

I found a simpler solution to this problem. In your script, just before you include the config.inc.php file, add the following define:

 

define('_PS_ADMIN_DIR_', getcwd());

 

Problem solved!
