    What are you trying to automate? There is a bulk URL that should update the photos for you.

    That’s it! I’d like to automate the bulk script so that when I add a user or update a photo in the active directory the photo will be generated automatically instead of re-execute this bulk link… You see? So I’ve 2 questions :
    _ is that possible that my server does it without me to click the bulk link periodically
    _ or making the active directory integrator plugin generate this photo when a user is created or updated?

    Thank’s

    Look into Scheduled tasks for Windows and CRON on Linux depending what you are using.

    Mmmh do you mean that’s something I have to set up on the server? ‘Cause I’m using it to build an intranet for a 140 persons company.

    Yep. There are ways to schedule tasks on servers. On Linux we use CRON and on windows there are Schedules Tasks. Google em, that’s what my clients use with this plugin and it works well. I am closing this as resolved but will keep an eye if you have other questions though I don’t think I can help further.

    OK, I tried to automate that and my CRON doesn’t work. I tried to do that :

    crontab -e
##and I added :
30 16 * * * php-cli -f /var/www/test_wp2/wp-content/plugins/active-directory-thumbnails/php/bulk-scheduled-process.php

    it does nothing.
    after trying I tried to do that :
    php-cli -f /var/www/test_wp2/wp-content/plugins/active-directory-thumbnails/php/bulk-scheduled-process.php
    but it seems that

    PHP Warning:  require(../../../../wp-load.php): failed to open stream: No such file                                                                                                                                                          /bulk-scheduled-process.php on line 10
PHP Fatal error:  require(): Failed opening required '../../../../wp-load.php' (inc                                                                                                                                                          /active-directory-thumbnails/php/bulk-scheduled-process.php on line 10

    but this file exists and I can read it whith nano or vim etc…

    so what is my problem here ?

    I don’t think you can run it with php-cli. Try using a command line browser such as lynx. Though I can’t really help with your specific system setup.
