Calculate Subscribers Coordinates

This scheduled task is used to calculate coordinates of subscriptions base on the address data of that subscription record, store the coordinates for the subscription so that members can be displayed on a map. You need to use this scheduled task if you want to display members on a map, see Display Members List for more information and have subscription records created before enabling map on the menu item parameters.

  2. Go to System -> Scheduled Tasks, press New button in the toolbar to create a new scheduled task for Membership Pro - Calculate Subscribers Coordinates task type.

Task Basic Fields

This scheduled task should be run several times per day. Each time it runs, it will send reminder to 10 - 20 subscribers, so you can setup Basic Fields to following values

  • Execution Rule: Set to Interval, Hours
  • Interval in Hours: The value of this parameter depends on your estimation about how many subscriptions will be expired per day. Each time the scheduled task run, it will process maximum 20 subscriptions. Set this parameter to 1 hour for example, in a day, it will be able to update about 24 x 20 = 480 subscriptions and it will be more than enough. In general, set it to 1 or 2 hours would be OK for almost all sites.
