Tutorial: Cron setup required for GYM One V1.2.0 (Update only)

[mayerbalintdev]

With GYM One V1.2.0, a daily cron job is required to run the reminder script.

• ✅ Fresh installations: the installer automatically creates the cron job.
• ⚠️ Updating from an older version: the cron job is not added automatically, so you must configure it manually.

---

Step 1: Open the crontab for the www-data user

sudo crontab -u www-data -e

---

Step 2: Add the cron job

Replace {your_folder} with the folder where you installed GYM One (usually under /var/www/).

0 8 * * * php /var/www/{your_folder}/crontab/send_reminders.php

This will run the reminder script every day at 08:00 server time.

---

Step 3: Save and exit

• If you’re using nano as the editor, press:
  CTRL + X, then Y, then Enter.

---

Step 4: Verify your crontab

Check that the cron job has been added successfully:

sudo crontab -u www-data -l

You should see the line you added.

---

✅ Done! Now your update to V1.2.0 will fully support automated reminders.
