$smwgOnDeleteAction
is a configuration parameter that is used to move the update process for when a page / property and its value assignments are deleted to the job queue and thus to improve it. The configuration parameter was introduced in Semantic MediaWiki 1.9.0.1Released on an unknown date and compatible with unknown versions of MediaWiki.. It was removed in Semantic MediaWiki 2.4.0Released on 9 July 2016 and compatible with MW 1.19.0 - 1.27.x. in favor of configuration parameter $smwgEnabledDeferredUpdate
Sets whether updates to pages are queued and executed after edits.1
Default setting[edit]
$smwgOnDeleteAction = array(
'smwgDeleteSubjectAsDeferredJob' => false,
'smwgDeleteSubjectWithAssociatesRefresh' => false
);
The default setting represents the legacy behaviour of Semantic MediaWiki 1.8.0Released on 2 December 2012 and compatible with MW 1.17.0 - 1.22.x
(except 1.22.1). and lower where a subject is directly deleted when "action=delete" is executed.
Available options[edit]
smwgDeleteSubjectAsDeferredJob
- Defers the deletion process to a background job.smwgDeleteSubjectWithAssociatesRefresh
- Allows to refresh entities that are connected to a deleted subject.
Changing the default setting[edit]
To modify the setting to this configuration parameter, add one of the following lines to your "LocalSettings.php" file after the enableSemantics()
call:
$smwgOnDeleteAction = array(
'smwgDeleteSubjectAsDeferredJob' => true,
'smwgDeleteSubjectWithAssociatesRefresh' => true
);
smwgDeleteSubjectWithAssociatesRefresh
is enabled the deletion process is being handled as a deferred background job with smwgDeleteSubjectAsDeferredJob
enabled, too.
Notes[edit]
- If configuration parameter
$smwgEnableUpdateJobs
Sets whether tasks are deferred until after a page was edited by using the job queue is disabled (not default) then the deletion process will always run directly even thoughsmwgDeleteSubjectAsDeferredJob
(see above) is enabled. - In case the deletion is executed as deferred job it is further suggested that the job queue is being run repeatedly within a narrow time frame to avoid an increased backlog.
