A few questions about stable release

Bigbug

First, i wanna thank and congrat the dev team @johnny and @wrongecho for STABLE! 🎉🎉🎉

I saw there were some major changes to cron
@wrongecho could you give some more detail on how to setup cron with stable release?

Also i saw that you added support for saving cards in Stripe for automatic invoice payments
where do i find that to set it up?

Thanks!

Hey & thanks!

For cron, you need to adjust your cron job to point to the new scripts in the scripts sub directory. The file to edit will be either /etc/cron.d/itflow or by running crontab -l

For Stripe, you just need to ensure you have your Stripe integration keys & a payment account set. The client primary/finance contact can set up auto-pay via the portal. You can see the status of which clients have set up Stripe auto-pay at /admin_settings_online_payment_clients.php

wrongecho mine is setup with sudo crontab -e is it a problem? should i change it over to crontab -e without sudo ?

would you mind to update https://docs.itflow.org/cron accordingly?

Thanks for clarifying about card saving feature!

Bigbug It shouldn't really matter for the cron scripts, just add /scripts/ to the path and save. You can move things over to /etc/cron.d/iflow if you really want, but it doesn't really make a difference.

I've updated a few lines of those docs, will take a closer look next week. Feel free to update the screenshot in the meantime.

Also the new cron scripts no longer require a cronkey

sorry if I might hijack this thread but the cron part have to be change or modify on our end?

or since is no longer working as before now its functions will continue to work just in a different way?

I just want to make sure that its main core functions will continue working.

just a bit confused.

Thank you

opensourcefollower everything stays the same it was just moved from webroot to a folder /scripts
so you just have to add /scripts in the path in your current cron setup and you can remove the key as it is no longer needed

Chiming in here: you can continue using your original cron scripts for now until we reach 25.02 due in late feb. But if you want to beat the punch you can switch now. to the /script directory.
