If the required modules are not issued for version 5.x, how can I use the 5.x version of views scheduler?

Thanks

My question exactly.

Either Schedule module NEEDS to get ported to 5.x, or Views Scheduler needs to sort out its own way to replace Schedule module... because all I need is this and Actions to automate some things on my site(s).

Here's where I really wish I was a programmer...

hmm sorry about this, i really need to get on his to atleast submit a .info file for the time being please download the schedule.module (4.7 or current HEAD) and CREATE a file called schedule.info in the schedule module folder with the following info inside it:

; $Id:
name = Schedule
description = "Scheduling API"
package = ""

I will try to get Robert to hurry and get the module updated (or updated myself if i get some time off from work)... i might have sometime to look over this module and do some improvements in the coming week so if you have any problem please dont hesitate to submit a bug report :)

Oh cool.. so Schedule module does work with HEAD in Drupal 5?

There's a discussion that says "don't try it" because it doesn't work.. or something

Is it good to go, provided I have the info file you mention? I guess there's no harm in testing this out on my test box.

Thanks!

it doesnt work with d5 at all,
btw use the 4.7 version with the .info file i adviced you to create.

since i am not making use of any of the modules forms etc, there really is no conflict whatsoever with d5...
this module just deals with setting up next time the schedule should run everything else is dealt with by the view_Scheduler module.

I just set this up on Drupal 5. I can't add a scheduled view. I can see the dialogue, but they don't save. I see nothing of note in the actions area about the module.

There apear to be very few deployments of this at the moment. I cannot seem to find any additional instructions elsewhere about this module, so I went with what I could find.

Download and install modules.
Create view of several nodes (published and filtered by node type)
Created a scheduled view from this view, run hourly with 1 node
At this point...something went wrong. When the page refreshed it said the schedule had been created, but there is nothing in the list.

I went to the actions page and ... there's nothing referencing schedules...

Any pointers here?

I downloaded schedule.module for 4.7 ad created the .info file from the text you wrote in the other thread. Is this module something that could be made to work? Could schedule.module be the issue?

Let me know if money will help!

This module is exactly what I need for my site, let me add my voice to the choir pleading for a port to 5.X.

Can't the functions of the Schedule module all be achieved with the Date module? Add Date CCK field to your node type (called something like Published Date), then create a view with a filter to only show the node after that date.
