Asynchronous Publishing 4.5

Friday 13 May 2011 5:51:43 am

Hello Community.

I try out new 4.5 features - especially asynchronous publishing. I think this is an interessting feature which could help to sort some issues out.

Asynchronous publishing is enabled and works fine so far. Furthermore I want to trigger a bash script after publishing deamon published queue items. Post-Queue-Hooks are looking exactly what I am looking for.

Could someone explain me how I would get Post-Queue-Hooks working? Manual isn't helping me in reason it is to short.

Thanks in advance for all your help.

The document for asynchronous publishing withing the feature docs don't help me to understand how it should work.

Can we go for an example? It think this will help best to understand how it works.

My publishing settings within content.ini

[PublishingSettings]
AsynchronousPublishing=enabled
PublishingProcessSlots=10
AsynchronousPublishingPostHandlingHooks[]=MyPriorityHandler::cleanup

I create a class file inside of a class folder

<?php
class MyPriorityHandler
{
public function cleanup( )
{
die( "HERE WE GO ASNYCHRONOUS - POST QUEUE HOOK" );
return "HERE WE GO ASNYCHRONOUS - POST QUEUE HOOK";
}
}
?>

For my understanding the post queue hook cleanup function from MyPriorityHandler class should be called after publishing and should end up in an die().

The problem is that application is still alive and it seems that the post queue hook is never called.

Hi.

I replaced the four bugfixed files with those from github. Also I had a look at your example. I still have problems.

If I run the asynchronous daemon then I get error for error in a loop:

php bin/php/ezasynchonouspublisher.php

Process #10421 of object version #907 exited with status 255

Processing item #907

Process #10422 of object version #911 exited with status 255

Processing item #911

Process #10430 of object version #909 exited with status 255

Processing item #909

Process #10431 of object version #907 exited with status 255

Processing item #907

Process #10432 of object version #911 exited with status 255

[...]

Asynchonous Publishing still works fine. I can see the publishing result at the webpage - everything looks fine. I just get one more processing item at ezasynchonouspublisher loop which never ends.

If I stop publishing daemon and try to publish something then publishing status is still pending. Then I start the daemon again and the publishing finishes successful.
