Send mails in paralel about oc-news HOT 7 CLOSED

you could use everything, except synchronous and null, depending on your environment. But yeah, database should do it for the standard environment.

from oc-news.

Use an async driver. Then the mails are send over time, obv. not in parallel.
It is also not good practice to burst 900 emails.
See #103

Ok I changed my driver to database but now all my emails are just queued and not sent.
I tried to read https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/queues but I was not able to make it work.

Im find the october cms documentation very poor. Is there any documentation so I can understand how to configure or make this new driver work?

from oc-news.

This driver uses the database for scheduling tasks.

The queue driver is configured here:
https://github.com/octobercms/october/blob/665de669bc0feac193628c26d6c1eae5075083de/config/queue.php#L5-L19

If you are using .env file you should change this line instead:
https://github.com/octobercms/october/blob/665de669bc0feac193628c26d6c1eae5075083de/.env.example#L28

Documented here:
https://octobercms.com/docs/services/queues#configuration

After that you need to configure the scheduler
https://octobercms.com/docs/setup/installation#crontab-setup
which calls:

or run the queue worker with
php artisan queue:work --queue=newsletter --once
documented here:
https://octobercms.com/docs/services/queues#running-the-queue-worker

First of all, thank you for the explanation, it was really helpful.

However, I faced a problem with the scheduler.
When I run it manually with php artisan scheduler:run and then close it with CTRL + C, if I try to start it again it will return No scheduled commands are ready to run

After a little debugging I found out it was the ->withoutOverlapping(); that was causing the problem. In order for it to work again I had to clean the php artisan cache with php artisan cache:clear.

So I'm assuming that the cronjob is never-ending, and if it ends, it will not start again until the php artisan cache is cleared.
Am I doing this right?

from oc-news.

If you execute crontab -e you can enter * * * * * php /path/to/your/artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1 and it should run as expected (1 mail per minute). Nothing else is needed.

from oc-news.

So in order to make queued mail sending to work the driver needs to be set to "database" ?
