Creating custom jobs from _addjobshere.php

[snolan74]

You'll have to excuse me because I am very new to sugar. Maybe there is a simple answer to this that I am just not seeing. I'm trying to add a module to sugar which I have followed the docs to do and all seems well up to the point where I go to create the job. I have added the job to the array (#6).

$job_strings = array (
0 => 'refreshJobs',
1 => 'pollMonitoredInboxes',
2 => 'runMassEmailCampaign',
3 => 'pruneDatabase',
4 => 'trimTracker',
/*4 => 'securityAudit()',*/
5 => 'pollMonitoredInboxesForBouncedCampaignEmails',
6 => 'syncOTRS',


I have also added these lines as per the instructions for the mod.

function syncOTRS() {
require_once ('modules/ZuckerSync/otrs.php');
_syncOTRS();
}


Obviously I'm missing something because it doesn't even show as an option from the drop down in Admin -> Scheduler -> Create Scheduler


Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

You did exactly the right things.

In the Create Scheduler you should have your new job in the select box.

Perhaps you must call an admin - repair before it works.

Thanks for the reply and the advise. I did give it a try and the results were the same.

I added your lines exactly as you wrote to my _addJobsHere.php and found your job when creating a new scheduler in the Job dropdown...

Oh I totally believe you. This now just takes me in a different direction. Now I am just wondering if something was missed on the install of sugar which was performed by someone else. I'm going to go through the docs section Configuring the Scheduler - UNIX and Linux systems and see if anything was missed or incorrectly configured. I'll post back if I find anything. Thanks again kuske. I think this might have me at least headed down the right path.

Hello,

Is it possible to make it work with OTRS3 and SugarCRM 6.1 ?

Hello,

Because in original file, we have :

 if (file_exists('custom/modules/Schedulers/_AddJobsHere.php')) {
    require('custom/modules/Schedulers/_AddJobsHere.php');
}
?> 
 

i have do in upgrade-safe :

 <?php
 
    array_push($job_strings, 'custom_function');
 
    function custom_function()
    {
        //custom code
 
        //return true for completed
        return true;
    }
 
?>  

But nothing appears in CE 6.1.

You need to create an extended language and add a label for "custom_function".

 $mod_strings['LBL_CUSTOM_FUNCTION'] = 'Whatever you want'; 
  

Note the prefix "LBL_" and function name in upercase.

Hello,
This file exist too in
custom/modules/Scheduler/Ext/Language/en_us.lang.ext.php
and
custom/modules/Scheduler/Ext/Language/en_us.custom.php
and look like this :

 <?php 
 //WARNING: The contents of this file are auto-generated
 
 
//THIS FILE IS AUTO GENERATED, DO NOT MODIFY
$mod_strings['LBL_CUSTOM_FUNCTION'] = 'Custom Function';
 
 
?>  

Maybe a restriction in CE ?

The correct file to add this label is:
custom/Extension/modules/Scheduler/Ext/Language/en_us.custom.php

Then go to Admin -> Repair -> Quick Repair and Rebuild

Cheers
