>>> [!note] Migrated issue <!-- Drupal.org comment --> <!-- Migrated from issue #3562807. --> Reported by: [codebymikey](https://www.drupal.org/user/3573206) Related to !3 >>> <h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3> <p>Some sites have thousands of node, taxonomy and media entities.</p> <p>So when this module is installed, it instantly tries to add all those entities into the queue, however if the module is installed through the UI, there's a chance that the page might timeout, leading to an incomplete queue.</p> <h3 id="summary-proposed-resolution">Proposed resolution</h3> <p>It'd be nice if we had a drush command and an admin UI that users can use to specify which entity types they'd like to requeue, then have the efficiently entities added to the queue using the batch API.</p> <p>And alternatively, the ability to disable the automatic queueing on install if the number of entities are above a certain siz - if it is, it simplify sends a notifying the user that they need to manually queue the desired entities.</p> <p>A nice to have along with the drush command could be a helper command to run the queue for you using:</p> <div class="codeblock"> <pre><span style="color: #000000"><span style="color: #0000BB">&lt;?php<br>drush queue</span><span style="color: #007700">:</span><span style="color: #0000BB">run pathauto_update_path_alias_dependency_updater<br>drush queue</span><span style="color: #007700">:</span><span style="color: #0000BB">run pathauto_update_path_alias_updater<br>?&gt;</span></span></pre></div> <p>But that could just be added as documentation in the README.</p> <p>One other issue I ran into was in the additional requirement of:</p> <blockquote><p> Path aliases are regenerated in a queue, so make sure your site is set up to automatically process queues, for example during cron runs. </p></blockquote> <p>I'm using Ultimate Cron to handle my cron, I would like the pathauto changes to be somewhat instanteneous after making changes, so I think we can explore one of the solutions specified in this drush issue <a href="https://github.com/drush-ops/drush/issues/6062">https://github.com/drush-ops/drush/issues/6062</a> and add it to the documentation if it's proven to be scalable.</p> <p>Ultimate Cron provides an experimental option that allows users to control queue intervals through the UI, however, it's also limited to every minute rather than instantaneously.</p> <h3 id="summary-remaining-tasks">Remaining tasks</h3> <p>Provide MR and optional documentation.</p> <h3 id="summary-ui-changes">User interface changes</h3> <p>New admin UI allowing users to specify entity types within the allowed pathauto configurations to queue up.</p> <p>There might also be a UI option that runs the specific queues, but that's probably better left for other contrib module to handle e.g. Ultimate Cron etc.</p> <h3 id="summary-api-changes">API changes</h3> <p>N/A</p> <h3 id="summary-data-model-changes">Data model changes</h3>
