Problem/Motivation

Follow-up to #2507031-158: Optimize automatic cron subscriber by moving automatic cron to a module β†’

@catch

I'm not 100% on keeping the form and altering it, we could possibly move that to a status report item, then link to the form if automated cron is enabled.

The cron should not be run when the user clicks "Save configuration" button.

Proposed resolution

Move the cron form to a status report item, then link to the form if automated cron is enabled

Remaining tasks

<!-- See https://drupal.org/core-mentoring/novice-tasks for tips on identifying novice tasks. Delete or add "Novice" from the Novice? column in the table below as appropriate. Uncomment tasks as the issue advances. Update the Complete? column to indicate when they are done, and maybe reference the comment number where they were done. -->

User interface changes

  1. With automated_cron module disabled, the cron form is disabled at /admin/config/system/cron.
  2. In Status report there's a new line under "Cron maintenance tasks" telling to enable the automated_cron module, if disabled, or linking to Automated Cron settings form, if enabled.
  3. The former route/link title 'Cron' (in /admin/config/system) renamed to 'Automated Cron'
  4. .

  5. Rearranged form elements in /admin/config/system/cron to give priority to 'interval' setting.
  6. .
