Indexation via cron on CS-Cart

You can run a cron job to do a full re-index. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Install the Searchanise Enhancements module.
2. Find the file app/addons/searchanise_enhancements/controllers/frontend/searchanise.pre.php and add the following code to it:

   if ($mode == 'async' &&
   !empty($_REQUEST['parent_private_key']) &&
   $_REQUEST['parent_private_key'] === fn_se_get_parent_private_key($_REQUEST['company_id'], DEFAULT_LANGUAGE) &&
   !empty($_REQUEST['full_reimport']) && $_REQUEST['full_reimport'] === 'Y'
   ) {
   fn_se_queue_import(NULL, NULL, true);
   }
   

3. Ask your system administrator to set up the cron that will initiate the Searchanise indexation using the following command:

/usr/bin/php %PATH_TO_CS_CART_ROOT_DIR%/index.php --dispatch=searchanise.async --full_reimport=Y --ignore_processing=Y

Please make sure to replace %PATH_TO_CS_CART_ROOT_DIR% with the actual path to the CS-Cart root directory.

%COMPANY_ID% – the company ID, which can be found in the CS-Cart admin panel. It appears in the URL when switching storefronts in the top-right corner of the admin panel.

If you are using CS-Cart Ultimate with multiple storefronts, each storefront has its own engine.

• If there is only one storefront, you can skip the --switch_company_id parameter.

• If there are multiple storefronts, you need to add as many commands as there are storefronts, each with its corresponding ID.

• Ignore the storefront with ID = 0.
