Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.To minimise open issues, I suggest adding dependencies to the main module and crawler so that we can confirm that the users have the correct modules installed. Patch to be provided shortly.

Anonymous (not verified) CreditAttribution: Anonymous commentedPatch for boost.info recommends expire module, adds Cache Expiration as a dependency for the boost_crawler.info. The "recommends" is debatable for boost.info since on admin/reports/status
boost is marked up as implementing the hook, also as it's a request to minimise issues and check configuration it may be worth making it a dependency even if a site administrator has boost set to expire the pages rarely (or not at all), there's probably even a case for remerging expire back into boost.

The "Cache Expiration" message in admin/reports/status is shown by the "expire" module, so I do not see any contradiction.
Might be interesting to show the status for a "recommended boost configuration" in admin/settings/performance/boost so that people could see at a glance which features are on/off, why they should install "expire", crawler/httprl, globalredirect, etc. Thoughts?

it's a change to the default Options +FollowSymLinks to Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch, adds a menu item in .htaccess generation and closes the 500 error page issue some people have with there ISP's.

Comment #5
Anonymous (not verified) CreditAttribution: Anonymous commentedAttached is the patch as discussed above, a "boost modules" new tab an page that lists installation and description of relevant links to the project pages.
Modules listed
Also lists if a relevant module is installed but disabled, I believe the descriptions may be helpful to reduce support requests particularly boost crawler. (run through code review and corrected a couple of other little bits). New tabbed page takes the status report formatting for the table, if I've missed any relevant modules please inform me.

bgm CreditAttribution: bgm commentedCommitted to 7.x-1.x. Thanks for the patch!
I did some minor aesthetic changes:
* renamed tab "boost modules" to "related modules" (some modules are not boost-specific)
* small changes to the module descriptions.
* as in Drupal's "update status", I put the link to the project page on the module title, not a separate link. Also, I think it's good to have the link always there, in case people want to check the docs.
