Siteaccess information in cronjobs

Saturday 07 June 2008 9:39:36 am

Hello,

In my cronjob PHP script I'm trying to reach current siteaccess setting, unfortunately, to success. The only thing I've reached is a bool(false) value, no matter if the cronjob is run explicitly for specific siteaccess, or for a default one without siteaccess declaration.

Is there any reliable method of retrieving that information?

Also, when I use cronjob to generate URL's, the siteaccess information (as well as the dir/index.php) is missing from them...:

...
$href = $node->urlAlias();
eZURI::transformURI( $href );
...

What do I do wrong? If it would be impossible to retrieve the siteaccess info, isn't that a huge problem?

Thanks,

Piotrek

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for your intrest!

I've tried all combinations know to me, just like, for what initially was an extension job:

php runcronjobs.php partname
php runcronjobs.php partname -s defaultsiteaccess
php runcronjobs.php partname -s adminsiteaccess
php runcronjobs.php partname -siteaccess defaultsiteaccess
php runcronjobs.php partname -siteaccess adminsiteaccess

Then I moved it around, including the main cronjobs directory, both putting it as a part OR global cronjob list. The job is always found, but:

1) never seems to respond to siteaccess declaration
2) never was siteaccess-aware (not to mention being able to retrieve that information):

$href = 'user/login';
eZURI::transformURI( $href, false, 'full' );
$cli->output( $href );

keeps returning:

/user/login

3) the weird thing: when I have this as an extension cronjob that is siteaccess dedicated, any of the above call will find it, no matter how I call. Here's the ini structure within extension:

/extension/myextension/settings/site.ini.append.php
/extension/myextension/settings/siteaccess/defaultsiteaccess/cronjob.ini.append.php

This seems also weird, I would expect that adminsiteaccess cronjob call should never find it, but it keeps finding it... Now, after some tests, this seems to work as I have expected, only with reversed syntax:

php runcronjobs.php -s defaultsiteaccess partname
php runcronjobs.php -s adminsiteaccess partname

The first one finds the extension cronjob, the second one not. It's just not the syntax I found here:
http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/4_0/features/cronjobs/running_cronjobs
This particular problem looks to be related to this part of runcronjobs.php:

for ( $i = 1; $i < count( $argv ); ++$i )
{
    $arg = $argv[$i];
    if ( $readOptions and strlen( $arg ) > 0 and $arg[0] == '-' )
    {
        //...
    }
    else
    {
        // It seems like $readOptions will never reach siteaccess declaration if cronjob part is declared as the first argument...:
        if ( $cronPart === false )
        {
            $readOptions = false;
            $cronPart = $arg;
        }
    }
}

This is eZ Publish 4.0.0 and it seems to behave the same with or without this patch:
http://issues.ez.no/IssueView.php?Id=11842&activeItem=91&rv[]=732&rm=1&column=8&sortOrder=4
I run all my tests directly with PHP CLI - I assumed I do not have to run real CRON to confirm...

To summarize, even when I made my runcronjobs.php find only the cronjob parts it should, still I'm nowhere near getting the siteaccess information or at least making eZURI::transformURI() method notice it ;(
I have no much experience with 3.x cronjobs, so I'm not sure what to expect...

Cheers,
Piotrek

Have you reported this Piotrek?
I think it has been like this for a while so might be a doc bug.
