• Plugins Updated;
  • PA Importer 1.3.0
    • Removed the smarts that force the plugin to restart itself causing a second crob job. Failed jobs should be amended via a cavalcade job status change from failed to completed.
    • Removed the smarts to check if the pa importer is already running, now manged by cavalcade. This can prevent PA-importer from running if the status is stuck on ‘running’.
    • In addition to requesting the last X stories and processing all of them potentially missing stories if more than X are published, introduced a Batch Limit setting which limits the number of updates/adds per 2 minute cycle, so the system can catch up with missing posts. Typically there are less than a handful per update.
