Setting up cron using ssh

To setup cron job from ssh, firstly we need a ssh client like putty for windows.
Then,
Open the ssh client.
Connect to the host using the ssh credentials.
Type crontab -e command to view the cron file. There we can see the scripts to setup the cronjob something like this:

 GNU nano 2.2.6        File: /tmp/crontab.nUqtfZ/crontab             Modified

# daemon's notion of time and timezones.
#
# Output of the crontab jobs (including errors) is sent through
# email to the user the crontab file belongs to (unless redirected).
#
# For example, you can run a backup of all your user accounts
# at 5 a.m every week with:
# 0 5 * * 1 tar -zcf /var/backups/home.tgz /home/
#
# For more information see the manual pages of crontab(5) and cron(8)
#
# m h  dom mon dow   command


We can see the lines are commented. No cron script has been setup here.
To add cron script, we can write it at end of the file.
After adding cron script,

# daemon's notion of time and timezones.
#
# Output of the crontab jobs (including errors) is sent through
# email to the user the crontab file belongs to (unless redirected).
#
# For example, you can run a backup of all your user accounts
# at 5 a.m every week with:
# 0 5 * * 1 tar -zcf /var/backups/home.tgz /home/
#
# For more information see the manual pages of crontab(5) and cron(8)
#
# m h  dom mon dow   command
* * * * * php -f /var/www/organic.draftserver.com/public_html/croneway.php >> /$
MAILTO=prasana.shrestha@ebpearls.com


This cron script is scheduled to run every time cron is runned.
Mailto function will send email.

Prestashop Add canonical and hreflang for multi-language website

The cannonical and hreflang tags are useful if our store is multi-language. It avoids duplication of url for each store and helps the site SEO by mentioning the url of different languages. This will indicate to the google crawlers which is the alternative link for each languages and / or geographical areas where the online store and the canonical url of the product are available, category, manufacturer list, which in many cases will be very useful. We can add the cannonical and hreflang tags on prestashop at the header.tpl template file. The template files are under theme/yourthemename folder. The following code needs to be added inside the head section: { if $ page_name == 'category' } <link rel = "canonical" href = "{$ link-> getCategoryLink ($ smarty.get.id_category, null, $ id_lang, null, null)}" />  { if $ languages | @ count > 1 } { foreach $ languages as $ lang } <link rel = "alternate" hreflang = "{$ lang.iso_...

Special Character (Zero-width joiner)

The zero-width joiner (ZWJ) is a non-printing character used in the computerized typesetting of some complex scripts such as the Arabic script or any Indic script. When placed between two characters that would otherwise not be connected, a ZWJ causes them to be printed in their connected forms. It means it doesnot take additional space. It is   &zwj; Useful when we need to output some html that don't need space. In some editors like tinymce, when we put the html that don't contain space then it will not save that html and will remove it from editor. For eg: <a href=".."></a> When we try to save the above html on tinymce editor, it will remove it from the content because it doen't have any character inside it. So, to overcome that problem we can use this special zero-width joiner character in between. It is a character that don't output extra space.  <a href="..">&zwj;</a> Happy coding!!!
