Usability suggestion for automated jobs

Permalink 4 users found helpful
Tested out the upgrade to 5.5.1 on a dev site and while exploring the dashboard, I come across the automated jobs tab and the new "Remove all page versions except 10 most recent" and think to myself awesome, I want to do that, and hit the "remove" button thinking that will remove all old page versions. After I hit that I realize that I just removed that job, and have no idea how to get that back. To me, the play button needs to be more prevalent than the big remove button - it takes a bit of thinking to figure out whats going on in that page (my two cents).

Oh, and if anyone knows how to reinstall the "delete old versions" job, please let me know.

Hello, I did the same thing. I downloaded the concrete5 install and grabbed the file from /concrete5.5.1/concrete/jobs/remove_old_page_versions.php
and re add it to your surver.

then in your sql database reinsert.
INSERT INTO `concrete5`.`Jobs` (`jID`, `jName`, `jDescription`, `jDateInstalled`, `jDateLastRun`, `pkgID`, `jLastStatusText`, `jLastStatusCode`, `jStatus`, `jHandle`, `jNotUninstallable`) VALUES ('4', 'Remove Old Page Versions', 'Removes all Old Page Versions', '2011-12-14 18:32:49', '2011-12-14 18:32:49', '0', NULL, '0', 'ENABLED', 'remove_old_page_versions', '0');


Probably not the easiest way but it works.
Hope this help.

If you have accidentally removed a core job, you can restore it with

To schedule removal once a week or month or so, you can use

+1 Totally agree.

And how about making the "Run All" button at the top of the "Run" button column more prominent, too! I've been working with C5.5.1 practically since it was released, and I only just discovered that you could click on that the other day!

To me the "play" button seems like a button that expands something. So, I've clicked that many times by accident thinking "let's see more details on this job".
