[pmwiki-users-fr] About Import cookbook : have some delay before import is processed ?

[Petko Yotov]

The $ImportFreq variable seems to be the number of seconds since the 
previous successful import. If so, and your data file is generated once 
a week, the previous import was longer than 3600 seconds ago.

If it takes several seconds to write the file, and there is a visitor or 
a bot on the wiki, the import function may start.

A simple workaround is to save the text in a temporary file with a name 
that does not look like a wiki pagename, for example "Group.Name,new".

After the generation is complete, your script can move the file to the 
correct file name "Group.Name". This is instant, the full content 
becomes available as an expected file name, and the next wiki visitor 
should trigger the import.
