Feature: Don't stop batch process completely just because of one error.

Open ReLater opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

  • Several com_content categories with 3000 articles or so exist.
  • 75 articles or so should be moved from one category to another and get a tag.
  • I had a long unordered paper list with ids.
  • I opened the backend view com_content->articles and set the filters.
  • Afterwards checked all ids in com_content->articles view. Scroll up, scroll down, click, scroll up, click and so on. Check what you have done and if it's correct.
  • Started a batch process: Move to category xy + Add tag yz.
  • And get an message

Batch process failed with following error: Another Article in this category has the same alias.

  • Some articles have been moved others not.

Describe the solution you'd like

  • The batch process doesn't stop the whole queue somewhere in betwwen (where?) and doesn't move some articles that don't have alias conflicts. and/or
  • An info which articles have the same alias. Which one haven't been moved. and/or
  • Move conflicting articles with a new alias (numbered one or easy to find one per filter?) and mention that. and/or
  • All articles have still their checks after page reload.

A similiar problem was when deleting a level from users access levels. https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/pull/43223 Do you tink that a similiar solution would help also for batch prcessing articles and categories? Displaying a list of items which will cause an error and stop the process?
