Configuration wizard

Guided walkthrough of the available strategies, with three ready-made preset combinations.

Important

The wizard does not write any configuration. Every "Apply" button ends in a notification that points at Admin Tools > Settings > Extension Configuration > nr_temporal_cache, where the settings have to be entered by hand. See Configuration for the settings themselves.

Wizard steps

The wizard is a single backend action that renders one step at a time, selected by a step parameter in the URL. Opening Configuration Wizard from the module menu starts at the welcome step.

Welcome

Shows three figures for the current site:

the number of temporal records found
the number of days in the next 30 days that carry at least one transition
the number of records whose start time harmonization would move, if harmonization is enabled

Start Configuration continues to the analysis step.

Analysis

Lists recommendations derived from the current configuration and the figures above. A recommendation is shown when one of these applies:

harmonization is disabled and more than 10 of the next 30 days carry transitions
the scoping strategy is global and more than 100 temporal content elements exist
the timing strategy is dynamic and more than 20 of the next 30 days carry transitions

When none applies, the step shows no recommendations. Continue to Presets leads to the presets step, Back returns to the welcome step.

Presets

Shows the three preset combinations side by side, each with its scoping strategy, timing strategy and harmonization state. Apply Preset opens a confirmation dialog and then the notification described above — the preset is not written anywhere.

Custom Configuration leads to the custom step, Back returns to the analysis step.

Custom configuration

A form with the three strategy choices, pre-selected from the current configuration:

Scoping strategy: global, per-page or per-content.
Timing strategy: dynamic, scheduler or hybrid.
Time slot harmonization: A single on/off switch. The slots and the tolerance are not part of this form; they are configured in the extension configuration.

Apply Configuration shows the notification and saves nothing. The form itself states that changes have to be applied in the extension configuration.

Summary

A closing step with a link back to the dashboard. It is part of the module but no button in the wizard currently links to it.

Presets in detail

The preset definitions live in the module controller. Enter the values shown here in the extension configuration to reproduce a preset.

Simple (Phase 1 compatible)

Backward compatible with Phase 1: global scoping, dynamic timing, no harmonization.

Settings of the "Simple" preset

'scoping' => ['strategy' => 'global'],
'timing' => ['strategy' => 'dynamic'],
'harmonization' => ['enabled' => false],

Balanced

Per-page scoping with hybrid timing and harmonization on a six-hour grid.

Settings of the "Balanced" preset

'scoping' => ['strategy' => 'per-page'],
'timing' => ['strategy' => 'hybrid'],
'harmonization' => ['enabled' => true, 'slots' => '00:00,06:00,12:00,18:00'],

Aggressive optimization

Per-content scoping backed by the reference index, scheduler timing and harmonization on a four-hour grid.

Settings of the "Aggressive Optimization" preset

'scoping' => ['strategy' => 'per-content', 'use_refindex' => true],
'timing' => ['strategy' => 'scheduler'],
'harmonization' => ['enabled' => true, 'slots' => '00:00,04:00,08:00,12:00,16:00,20:00'],
