hello

I wondering if you plan to add soon a feature who can allow to retry a POST request (made to an remote server) until success.

In fact actually when we make a request (in my case using trigger onAfterUserUpdate), we can't know if the remote server was well available for take in consideration the request or if is unavailable (because short downtime due to maintenance or any other reason).

I seen we can choose to display "return or error message" but nothing else. Anyway when I set to display "return message" nothing is displayed even if the remote server return always a message...

A nice thing will be to set to retry (for example each 10 seconds) until success.


Any comment about ?

thank

I use Joomla 3.3.6 - CB 2.0.4 - CBSubs 4 - Several Incubator plugins

No, it's designed to perform actions on CB triggers only and will always remain as such. You should use CRON or a custom solution to fit your specific needs. With that said we will of course add more triggers to CB to allow better control. We also have plans in the future to add some sort of scheduler to schedule behavior and perhaps it could fire a trigger that could be acted on, but those are distant future plans and nothing that'll be available anytime soon.
