Construction This mod is in a beta testing state. I've been using it for a while, but
  • It needs to be tested on other TNG sites,
  • I haven't completed the description below, and
  • I haven't created the visualizations this article needs

In truth, I have over 40 new and updated mods in this state, and I'd appreciate whatever help that anyone can offer. So it would be great if you could download the mod, test it, and let me know how it works for you. And if you're up for it, screenshots from before the mod was installed and after (annotated or not) would be a great help. You're welcome to insert in the article, or just email them to me. My email username is 'mail, and my email domain is robinrichmond.com.

Thanks in advance. Robin Richmond 19:24, 2 April 2017 (CDT)

Purpose of the Mod

This mod

  • Installs database fields and AJAX programs that mark Branch operations with timestamps in the TNG Branches table, so that administrators can know when or whether a Branch has been updated or cleared.
  1. Implements a simple queueing method that allows site administrators to queue Branch operations (Add Labels, Clear Labels, and Delete Records that are marked with a Label). This queueing mechanism is of particular importance on large sites, where Branch operations take a long time.
  2. Modifies the Admin>>Branches>>Search results screen to show the status of each branch.
  3. Adds queueing options to the Admin>>Branches editor.

Parameters

  1. $updateActionWhenRuleChanges

This option allows you to mark the Branch as "needing to be updated" if you change the Branch rule.

Compatibility with other Mods

No known incompatibilities.

Related Mods

  • Show Mod Names - The Branch Timestamps mod saves data that can be used by the Show Mod Names utility mod, but it is not dependent on that mod.
  • Admin Branches also modifies the Admin>>Braches Search program and editor, but was developed in coordination with Branch Timestamps, so there is no conflicts between them.

Requirements

  • A working TNG installation.
  • An installed current version of the Mod Manager.
  • You should backup files listed in the panel on the right.
