Enhancement: Repeating task for set up of blocks #43

Open MURBASLMS opened 9 months ago

MURBASLMS commented 9 months ago

Would it be possible to set up a task to be scheduled to run the set up of a particular config?

eg i am currently manually running a config for our 2024 courses and repeating it so that new courses get the same config applied with the set of blocks we want as standard in the regions we want them placed.

Anything is "possible" :-) - if you have internal development capabilities, feel free to submit a pull request with improvements or reach out privately if you would like to fund development on any of our plugins.

thanks!

no worries, have raised a catalyst ticket to have a look.

To do it properly we would create "recurring" configurations that would be applied based on configured schedule, E.g. when you create a configuration it will have a field like "Repeat every: 1 day(s)/week(s)/month(s)" If this option is activated, then we save this configuration and run it as scheduled via a new scheduled tasks.

Basically we would need DB tables + CRUD for that + to glue it all together with a new schedule task that would spin up adhoc tasks based on saved configurations and their schedule.
