<?php
// I don't want to be waiting around for things to change
function more_cron_reccurences() {
return array('minutely' => array('interval' => 60, 'display' => 'Once Minutely'));
}
add_filter('cron_schedules', 'more_cron_reccurences');
//the actual cron magic
if (!wp_next_scheduled('some_hook')) {
wp_schedule_event( time(), 'minutely', 'some_hook' );
}
// wp_clear_scheduled_hook('some_hook');
add_action('some_hook', 'some_action');
function some_action(){
$current = get_option('how_long');
if (isset($current)) {
$new = $current + 1;
update_option('how_long', $new);
} else {
add_option('how_long', 0);
}
}
?>
<div class="notice">
Should change in <?php echo wp_next_scheduled('some_hook')-time() ?> seconds.<br />
It's been <?php echo get_option('how_long') ?> times now. <br />
Next scheduled for: <?php echo date( get_option('time_format'), wp_next_scheduled('some_hook')) ?>
</div>The function updates the option correctly when fired on its own, and the timer does seem to count down, but the timer never actually fires the function.
All I can think is that it's not actually possible for a cron to call a function in a theme... this would really aggravate me. Anyone have some good insight? I found the highly recommend post by Slaven. But I can't find anything on how a cron might be different when working in a template.
