Autopublish and FTP

[domin]

Hello everyone!  
First I want to thanks for great component . Arno your work is very helpfull for joomla community! Thanks a lot!

I see that autopuplish and FTP working that:
after sending files by FTP, the files are not visible on front end site. To see files in front end, you must login to backend and open jdownloads. Jdownloads checking database and compares with files. Then autopublish new files or hide deleted files in front end.  
I have a question:
It is possible to autopublish new file without login to backend?
Maybe someone have cron script or other mechanism that start every 5 minut and check file and database?

regards

Hello Domin,

I have a question:
It is possible to autopublish new file without login to backend?
Maybe someone have cron script or other mechanism that start every 5 minut and check file and database?

Hm... i have nothing experience with cron jobs. So i can not say that it is possible or not.
But in the next version 1.7, you can run the monitoring with a extern php (scan.php) file. So perhaps we can run this via cron job?

Me too...

Ok, thanks for reply!  

Now look at this situation:
I uploads to FTP some files 18 times a day.
This files must be visible after 15 minutes at the front end.
I don't want to logon to backend administration every time after I uploads my files.


Has anybody know, how to do this?

When you can run a php site via cronjob, it is possible.
