Scheduler Task

To keep the configured accounts up to date, you can set up Scheduler Tasks.

Available Tasks

The following tasks are available to you:

fp_social:synchronize: Synchronizes the created accounts if they are selected for automatic synchronization.
- amount (optional): Number of social networks to synchronize. A value of 0 means no limit.
fp_social:download: Downloads all post images that have not yet been downloaded. Otherwise this happens when the respective post is displayed for the first time.
- amount (optional): Number of images to download. If no value is given, up to 40 images are downloaded.
fp_social:remove: Deletes old posts that are older than the specified number of days and are not currently in use. Images that are no longer referenced (including the associated files) and hashtags are also removed in the process.
- days (required): Number of days after which posts are deleted.

Note

If the social server has reached a request limit, fp_social:synchronize reports the affected account as Synchronization deferred and carries on with the next one. The run does not fail, and the account is picked up again once the block has passed. See Request limits of the social server.

Setting up a Task

Switch to the Scheduler module.
Click the button to add a new task.
Fill in the fields as follows:
- Class: Execute console commands
- Frequency: We recommend */15 * * * * here. This means that the task is executed every 15 minutes.
- CommandController Command: Select one of the tasks listed above here.
Save the task and check it by running it manually once.

Warning

Make sure that you call the Scheduler. Please also note that the task can only run as often as the Scheduler is called.

If the Scheduler is only called every 30 minutes, the tasks will likewise only run every 30 minutes, regardless of their setting under Frequency.

For more information about the Scheduler, see the official documentation.
