| May 16, 2012 at 18:29 | comment | added | Alejandro García Iglesias | I'm thinking that pre-filling a time period with instances would be good. The only problem is how many/how much? Do I pre-fill only a month of instances? Thanks also to @JohntheRevelator for helping improve this answer. | |

| May 16, 2012 at 17:46 | comment | added | Alejandro García Iglesias | Sorry, I forgot to mention that Users can close/cancel the Notification on the system so they don't see that instance anymore. Also, the system must send a email to the User the day before the notification. That's why I thought of a cronjob. I updated the question with that details. | |
| May 16, 2012 at 17:38 | comment | added | psr | @JohntheRevelator - It may make sense to "blast out" (into individual database records) a bunch of instances out to a certain point in time. Basically this is a kind of caching and might make sense if there are lots of schedules (say, in a big databsae) and the time to compute all the instances is worth avoiding. For a single schedule in isolation it's harder to imagine that being worth it. | |
