This module works fine. There is no blocker issue find. I think we should move it to RTBC.

Multiple Applications
It appears that there have been multiple project applications opened under your username:

Project 1: https://www.drupal.org/node/2694845

Project 2: https://www.drupal.org/node/2680865

As successful completion of the project application process results in the applicant being granted the 'Create Full Projects' permission, there is no need to take multiple applications through the process. Once the first application has been successfully approved, then the applicant can promote other projects without review. Because of this, posting multiple applications is not necessary, and results in additional workload for reviewers ... which in turn results in longer wait times for everyone in the queue. With this in mind, your secondary applications have been marked as 'closed(duplicate)', with only one application left open (chosen at random).

If you prefer that we proceed through this review process with a different application than the one which was left open, then feel free to close the 'open' application as a duplicate, and re-open one of the project applications which had been closed.

We are currently quite busy with all the project applications and we prefer projects with a review bonus. Please help reviewing and put yourself on the high priority list, then we will take a look at your project right away :-)

Also, you should get your friends, colleagues or other community members involved to review this application. Let them go through the review checklist and post a comment that sets this issue to "needs work" (they found some problems with the project) or "reviewed & tested by the community" (they found no major flaws).

Retested with Pareview.sh, and ran the manual checklist. To my opinion, this module can be shifted to full project.
I do see some spelling issues and one larger function (auto_block_scheduler_list) which might be good to break into smaller parts and/or add some explaining comments.
Do not see blocking things though, so would advice to bring this to full project. Moreover I like the thought behind this one.

manual review:

  1. project page: what are the differences to existing projects such as https://www.drupal.org/project/scheduled_block ? Module duplication and fragmentation is a huge problem on drupal.org and we prefer collaboration over competition.
  2. "($block->module ? $block->module : 'No Module'),": all user facing text must run through t() for translation. Please check all your strings.

Otherwise looks good to me.

Thanks for your contribution, Arulraj!

I updated your account so you can promote this to a full project and also create new projects as either a sandbox or a "full" project.

Here are some recommended readings to help with excellent maintainership:

You can find lots more contributors chatting on IRC in #drupal-contribute. So, come hang out and stay involved!

Thanks, also, for your patience with the review process. Anyone is welcome to participate in the review process. Please consider reviewing other projects that are pending review. I encourage you to learn more about that process and join the group of reviewers.

Thanks to the dedicated reviewer(s) as well.

1. Difference from "scheduled block"

  1. Auto block scheduler working through cron based.
  2. Auto block scheduler provide capability to set any number of scheduler block.
  3. Auto block scheduler will support theme based scheduler.
  4. Auto block scheduler under the drupal 7 version, However scheduled block is not actively maintaining

2. t() function added for expected strings.

Thanks to every one.
