[SOLVED] Layered Navigation, price indexing and cron

[batman42ca]

Just a tip in case anyone else has a problem setting up a cron job to handle automatic price indexing.

 

Within the Layered Navigation configuration is the following advice

 

You can set a cron job that will rebuild price index using the following URL:
http://example.com/modules/blocklayered/blocklayered-price-indexer.php?token=9b750b90b0&full=1

 

 

This may not work, because of the query variables. It might be necessary to change the cron string to this:

 

You can set a cron job that will rebuild price index using the following URL:
wget - q "http://example.com/modules/blocklayered/blocklayered-price-indexer.php?token=9b750b90b0&full=1"

 

2 things to note. "wget" is added to the beginning and the url is wrapped in quotes. The "-q" runs wget in quiet mode. No output.

Hi batman42ca,

 

somebody in forum said to use command curl or /usr/bin/php now you say wget

 

Can you please pin-point me in a direction. I'm using cPanel with PS 1.6.0.6
