[TYPO3-dev] cObj in scheduler task (Extbase)

[Patrick Schriner]

Hello,

the scheduler system runs in a backend context. You can create your cObj  
by simplying calling t3lib_div::makeInstance('tslib_cObj').*

While you can do that some of the most used functions in tslib_cObj rely  
on being called from a frontend context. You can fake that too (e.g. using  
the extension oelib, or using some hand-crafted calls), but even then you  
will sometimes have "odd" behavior that you have to work around (e.g.:  
conditions in typoscript don't work as expected - because there is no  
frontend user, no groups...).

As all those effects are hard to predict I'd recommend writing a scheduler  
task that calls an URL on your system (e.g. as an eid/ajax call), and  
write the real scheduler as a frontend extension. You'd have to take care  
of access restrictions and secure you eid extension script against being  
called from elsewhere, but that is manageable.

Regards,
Patrick
