Requirements
Importing CSV files
Import Yahrzeit Dates - Step 1
Your csv file must follow a specific format in order to be imported correctly:
* File format
Your file must be a comma-seperated-values (csv) file. Most spreadsheet programs have an option to "Save As" a csv file.
* Dates
Each row can use either a Gregorian or Hebrew date. This is determined by the month name. If the month field contains a Gregorian month (e.g. December), the date for that row will be treated as a Gregorian date. If, however, the month field contains a Hebrew month (e.g. Kislev), the date for that row will be treated as a Hebrew date.
* Column labels
In order to provide you flexibility, you can order the columns in your file however you like. However, you must provide labels at the top of each column (in row 1). The labels should be as follows (in any order):
FIRST_NAME LAST_NAME MONTH DAY YEAR AFTER_SUNSET (optional)
* AFTER_SUNSET
Because date conversion will be performed on any Gregorian dates in your file, you can specify "after sunset" to have the correct Hebrew date calculated. This field is optional and is ignored if the row has a Hebrew date. Valid values for this field are 0 for "before sunset" and 1 for "after sunset". If no value is specified, "before sunset" is assumed.
* Standard spelling of months
The MONTH column of your file can be formatted to either have Gregorian or Hebrew month names. This can be different per-row (e.g. one row has January and another has Nisan). Because of this flexibility, your months must be spelled as follows (case-insensitive):
Nisan Iyyar Sivan Tamuz Av Elul Tishrei Cheshvan Kislev Tevet Sh'vat Adar I Adar II
January February March April May June July August September October November December
* Year requirements
Any Gregorian dates in the file must have a corresponding year (e.g. 1987). For Hebrew dates, however, the year is an optional field and may be entered if available.
* Example
Your file should look something like this:
Automated Mailings
Yahrzeit Reminders attempts to completely automate the process of sending the reminders, however it relies on people visiting your website. If your website is super popular at all hours of the day - great! - you don't have to do anything. However, for the rest of us whose page impressions around 4am are pretty much zero, there's one more step. It is best that you set up some computer to visit your Joomla website at a non-peak time (maybe 4am??). If your webserver uses Linux as its Operating System, you can use a program called cron to visit your site each night. The entry in crontab should be something like the following:
0 4 * * * wget -O - http://example.com > /dev/null
where http://example.com is your website. This will visit your website at 4am every day and, as long as the Yahrzeit Emailer module is installed, will cause Yahrzeit Reminders to make sure it's sent the reminders out. If you use shared hosting and don't have SSH access (command line interface) to your webserver, you can ask your hosting provider if there is a way to set up a cron job. Most hosting providers provide an interface (like vDeck or cPanel) that you can use to add scheduled tasks. If this sounds like you, log in to your control panel and set it to run the following command at some non-peak time:
wget -O - http://example.com > /dev/null
