I'm trying to update myXBL to use the task system (as advised), but I'm struggling writing the task code. I tried copying some of the default tasks and changing what I needed to, but the task didn't even run (even when set from the ACP)
As far as I know, you should've to assign a function in plugins too to work along with ./inc/tasks/ files.
Also use the following function in plugin.
function FUNCTION_NAME_task() {
global $db, $mybb;
require_once MYBB_ROOT . 'inc/functions_task.php';
// your task goes here
}
Ok, thanks. I'll have a go with that and see what happens.
Actually, I've now got a working task file. Is there any way to just add a task as you would from the ACP? I'm sure there's a function I can find, but it would be helpful if somebody could just tell me off the top of their head haha

Look at one of my plugins: VIP Membership
It is a good example of how you can create a task in ACP.
Thanks Pirata.
I actually found the snippet I needed in RSS Feed Poster
