Fixed Timeout on group permissions modification

[Jean-Baptiste]

When editing usergroup's permission on my forum (500 000+ members), I have two problems :
- PHP timeout
- Server timeout

Would it be a good idea to add that AJAX page while rebuilding permissions, when editing theses permissions, to avoir timeout ?

Thanks

It actually does this already when it thinks it's necessary. We may need to force this when editing the registered group at least.

I have made a change for the next 1.5 release here that tries to detect if there's a lot of work to do and shifts it off to a separate task if needed.

Thanks you very much Mike.

Will 1.5.1 be released soon or can you tell me how to fix this in the current version? It's a bit of a pain...

The easiest workaround would be to increase whatever time out it's hitting. There are a couple potential ones, so it's hard for me to give specifics; it could be a PHP timeout (php.ini), a FPM timeout or some other sort of process killer.

That said, it shouldn't really be all that common. It's worth cleaning up your permission caches in the rebuild caches section which may reduce the amount of work required.

Would it also be dependent on the number of permissions added by add-ons? We're running quite a few on TAZ, and the list of permissions is quite long.

 

[Mike]

That would be a faster, but the number of combinations or the number of nodes are likely to be more significant (though they all multiply the amount of work required in total).

Thanks! Cleaning up the permissions cache did seem to help - still seems to take a long time but didn't time out.
