Auto rate currencies - execute via cronjob

Hi there,

We are using the (excellent) auto rate currencies on an ecommerce website.

It's all working fine when you click 'update auto rates' in the webshop backend, but i want to automate this via cronjob.

Is there an easy way to do this?

Many thanks, Steve.

Hi Steve

You'll probably have to write your own cron job to do this, AFAIK there is no cronjob yet to do this.

While no cronjob exists to do this at this moment.

Cronjobs are one of the simplest advanced topics / constructs in eZ to create!

We created and added a cronjob to the existing contribution,
http://pubsvn.ez.no/community/trunk/extension/collectexport/

Which provides and extends the export of collected information content object information like feedback forms via the admin with a cronjob which does this job as an automated task / cronjob.

You can use this as a reference and guide to creating your own by reviewing the commit log for the added and modified files,
