external-group-blogs Plugin update-bug?

I think Andys Plugin is just great!

I experience the following behavier: The external Blogs only get updated, when someone actually clicks on the “blog feeds” link in the groups. Only then the activity stream gets updated. I guess that’s not the idea, because the activity should draw people to the group/blog – not the other way around.

Is that just with me or do other have the same problem? Is there fix (update?)

i experience the same issue… but i also read this on line 19 of the php file

wp_schedule_event( time(), ‘twicedaily’, ‘bp_groupblogs_update_all_feeds’ );

I suppose this means “refresh the output every 12 hours”.

Perhaps try to load a thread that is (surely) hourly updated to view if something changes in your plugin output ?

Thanks for the hint. I am trying it with a very much updated feed already and it does not refresh every 12 hours… Only when I go manually to the group (or somebody else), then it fetches the feed and makes the activity entries…

Any more ideas…?

Andy, since your on the move in the forums – do you know what could be the reason for that (your plugin)?

The scheduling doesn’t seem to work properly, it should fetch twice a day. I don’t have time to look into this right now, but anyone interested in debugging?

Just a note that I’ve experienced the same issue — was meaning to post about it myself.

Andy,

Looking at the codex, it appears you’re missing an add_action.

Change the first five lines of your plugin to:
```
/* Schedule an event that will update all external blog feeds twice daily. */

function bp_groupblogs_on_activation() {

wp_schedule_event( time(), 'twicedaily', 'bp_groupblogs_action' );

}

register_activation_hook( __FILE__, 'bp_groupblogs_on_activation' );

add_action('bp_groupblogs_action','bp_groupblogs_update_all_feeds');
```
This is untested, not sure if it will work.
