Hi

My cron sends the birthday e-mails out from the queue but no new subscribers/users get added to the queue. They are only added when i go to edit the plugin and click the 'test' button.

Is there something i am missing?

Thanks.

Do you have a cron task configured for your server so this plugin can be executed automatically?

Is the birthday plugin enabled?

Hi

Yes, the plugin is installed and enabled.

As I am running this on an intranet I have setup a cron to run on the server as opposed to using your server to trigger the cron (intranet/index.php?option=com_acymailing&ctrl=cron).

When there are birthday e-mails in the queue they do get sent out. However, when the cron is run to send out the e-mails, no new addresses are added to the queue (we have over 4000 employees so there definitely are birthdays on each day). What I have to do to get them into the queue is to go into the edit plugin and hit the 'Test' button to add the addresses. I then get the message 'x birthday e-mails inserted in the queue for xx-xx'.

Do I have to run a separate cron for the birthday plugin?

No, AcyMailing needs only one cron for all its automatic process.

Which version of AcyMailing are you using?
This kind of plugin can only work since 1.3.0

Are you 100% sure your own cron task triggers AcyMailing?

The cron does trigger. Any e-mail addresses in the queue do get sent out and I get the e-mail report with the list.

I'm running version 1.4.1, just seen that the latest is 1.5.0 so I will do the upgrade anyway.

The birthday plugin is version 1.2.0.

1.4.1 or 1.5.0 should not change anything.
Please wait two more days and then check your queue to see if there are some birthday messages which will be sent.

Hi

Just an update, I have been running this through by browser (intranet/index.php?option=com_acymailing&ctrl=cron) for the last two days and everything is working fine. I'll will re-activate the cron tomorrow and will monitor how the weekend goes.

Thanks.
