Tip & Tricks

1. Updating feeds with cron

Just point your cronjob to open yoursite.com/rss/update.php?silent via wget or curl, for example.

*/5 * * * *    user  /path/to/script

For instance, with wget and feed updates every day at 00h30, 8h30 and 16h30 :

30   0,8,16   *   *   *      wget -q -O /dev/null http://site/rss/update.php?silent

For a CGI installation of PHP, the following steps work for using a cronjob:

1. Create a new file (cron.php, for example):

#!/usr/local/bin/php -q
<?php include("http://path to your installation/gregarius/update.php?silent");
?>


2. Chmod this file to 755
3. Add the following to the cronjob (crontab -e):

0 */2 * * * /absolute/path/to/your/installation/gregarius/cron.php

Be nice to your news providers. Only update every couple of hours or so! This job updates every two hours on the hour.


2. Keyboard Navigation

Accesskey actions are triggered by holding the Alt (Control on Macs) key and pressing the respective accesskey.
