Hehe, sorry, I should've explained it better.

A cron is a .php file which is ran automaticly by vB every X minutes, X hours, X days, etc. You can find this in your admincp.

What you'll have to do is the following:

1. Make a .php file called daily_post.php and put the above code into it.

2. Change $title="Your Title"; to whatever you want. If you want to add a date/time let me know by replying and I'll give you the code for it.

3. Next make a template called "daily_message_body", and add your email content there. You can add something like:
4. Now save the file, and upload it to ./includes/cron

5. Now go to the cron manager in the Admincp, and add daily_posy.php to the cron list. You can decide when to run it yourself, just click the (?) signs on the right next to the input fields, and they'll explain how it works ;).


That should work. Let me know please

Kinda cool function.
Is it also possible to automatically create a post which shows how many posts, hacks, scans, etc are posted on a monthly bases? I could use that ;)

I'll look into that for you.

Thanks Deaths! Ya, i'd like to add the date to the title/subject. Cron manager? thats the schedule taks manager I take it? also, the minute option is weird, it has 4 boxes, lol. Oh ya! how do I set this for certain forums, I'm goin to have to create more then this one for the other games I have on my site, So I need to make one automatic poster for like Socom, another for like Madden, another for 25 to life. all seperate forums. How do I do this or where do I adjust it?

ok, now I set it up and then I did the "run now" function and I am prompted with this
and a post hasn't been created.

Sorry, that was a typo. Try it again now .

I'll add the date and time once I get home, aswell as the other functions.

Right, here's the new code. You can use $date_now to add the date.

ok, I went to daily_post.php, changed the code to your new one, ran the task and I get
I only changed the "this was created at" portion and that was it, what else must I change? the Forum I want this to post in is forum id45. I've gotta be doin somethin wrong because nothing is being posted.

Oh lol, I forgot about the <?php tags. Or did you add those?

Let me take a look at the forumid thingy, will edit in a sec.
