Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/27818 Post a follow up: http://drupal.org/project/comments/add/27818 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: throttle.module Category: feature requests Priority: normal Assigned to: drumm Reported by: drumm Updated by: factoryjoe Status: patch (code needs review) +1 for moving throttle/performance settings to it's own page/tab -1 for showing disabled modules; only list those that can be disabled Issues: * "turning on" throttling seems counter intuitive... like, all the modules should be checked as given priority... then you DESELECT in order to take it off the priority list. I guess the current UI is opposite of most conventions... where you start with everything enabled and then take things /off/ the list. * The list is not a scalable UI. If I have 60 modules (*cough cough*) I'll see the first 10-15 and ignore the rest. If you could sort by processing weight ("these modules suck up tonnes of memory! disable these first!") or by functionality, the list would be much more manageable. * I still think "throttle" is a terrible name. Like "taxonomy" people don't readily know what it means and avoid it like the plague. From a marketing perspective, this is bad news for Drupal since it may appears that Drupal is slow when it really just needs to have its *performance* settings tweaked. factoryjoe Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sat, 30 Jul 2005 00:21:16 +0000 : drumm Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/screenshot_12.png (37.86 KB) Screenshot 1/2.

The throttle configuration is currently spread out on the modules page and the block configuration page. This patch moves the module throttling to a local task next to the throttle settings page. I have not worked on moving block throttling yet since I want to see what the reaction to this first part is. If this is comitted I plan to move the block throttle checkboxes and continue improving the modules page. With less interface elements the modules page can be made even simpler that is it now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sat, 30 Jul 2005 19:48:47 +0000 : drumm forgot to label it as a patch
