Examples using batch API. (drupal 6)

2 'harmless' batches are defined : batch 1 : Load 100 times the node with the lowest nid batch 2 : Load all nodes, 20 times (uses a progressive op : load nodes by groups of 5)

The module defines the following pages :

  • /batch_example/example_1 : Simple form, lets you pick the batch that should be executed
  • /batch_example/example_2 : Multistep form : perform batch 1 and batch 2 as separate submission steps.
  • /batch_example/example_3 : No form - start a batch simply by clicking a link (not really user friendly, should probably be avoided)

This example is part of the Examples for Developers Project which you can download and experiment with here: http://drupal.org/project/examples
