Re: Schedule function
I am changing hundreds of accounts each week inside the software.
Scheduling processes to run for weeks will complicate things. I will end up in a few days with hundreds or processes to run each day.
What I was thing, was that maybe there is a way to use the schedule function of tumblr (https://tumblr.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/art ... uled-posts).
So the software would login to all tumblrs and set each post to be published on a different day.

Re: Schedule function
ok, I am understanding better now.
The program can schedule to tumblr's scheduler.
so we just need a way:
select X accounts
select Y posts
select schedule start:
select schedule pause:
so with 10 accounts
with 10 posts
start schedule: 2017/09/23 1300
schedule pause: 48 hours
acc1 post1: 2017/09/23 1300
acc2 post2: 2017/09/25 1300
acc3 post3: 2017/09/27 1300
acc4 post4: 2017/09/29 1300
.....
perhaps with a fluct of +- 1hr, so the times are more like
acc1 post1: 2017/09/23 1313
acc2 post2: 2017/09/25 1254
acc3 post3: 2017/09/27 1222
acc4 post4: 2017/09/29 1337
That kind of thing?

Re: Schedule function
ok. So at the most simple, you need to specify a
START DATE (schedule date)
then just need a delay per post for schedule. I am thinking hours?

Re: Schedule function
Was thinking photos and articles.
But I think photos is enough. I can post articles with that as well.
I am so excited.

Re: Schedule function
I just tested the function. But it doesn't do what I want.
I don't want tumblingjazz to pause for x hours to post the next photo/article.
I want tumblingjazz to go to each account (let's say 30) and schedule each post inside tumblr.
https://i.snag.gy/Dfa9CT.jpg
So I would run tumblingjazz today (for a few minutes, in one go) and the posts would get to tumblr queue.
And I would get:
tumblr 1 - live post
tumblr 2 - post scheduled inside tumblr (queue) for tomorrow
tumblr 3 - post scheduled inside tumblr for Thursday
tumblr 4 - post scheduled inside tumblr for Friday
So, once I run tumblingjazz all posts get scheduled inside tumblr. And software doesn't need to run again or pause x hours.

Re: Schedule function
ok I see the issue, I left in the test code routine, which wouldn't run for you, but would for me.
Now working
