node.js

Currently working on project where there will be some heavy image uploads. Got curious about alternatives in image processing as CamanJS. Leaving aside any of the browser-end capabilities. The scenario is 1 to 20 0.5-10MB raster images uploaded by user, no batch jobs, lets assume. On the whole - nothing of extra ordinary for current standard tools not to handle but it is never bad to broaden horizon.

1. Performance. node.js + CamanJS (or any similar) vs GD/ImgeMagick on server - theoretically what performance could be expected? Similar? 20-50% difference? Massive improvement?

I'm just getting started with node.js, and I'm hoping you guys can point e in the right direction.

I want to be able to log in to my Drupal site, what kind of add on do I need for this (if any). When using PHP's curl, you're able to post to a login form and then keep the cookie for future requests - which lets you interact with your site as an authenticated user.

Thanks in advance for any advice,

Has anyone gotten node.js to play nicely with BOA recently? I got this working about 6 months ago (BOA site with a separate node.js server connecting) but trying again now and seems to be some funky issue. I might be missing something small but as far as I can tell messages are not being sent to node.js OR they are being sent really slowly. There seems to be something catching on the server perhaps. Maybe I need to disable caching or something.

Just wanted to check if anyone else had any tips here. Thanks...

This is the first release that is integrated with and relies on Node.js module.

There are many more features to add, but this alpha opens up an exciting new world for Chatroom module.

Bug reports, feature requests and co-maintainers welcome!

Hi, I've just briefly read through server.js. It basically implements a publish/subscribe server, right?

I wonder if somebody has compared this custom Javascript code to what dedicated publish/subscribe servers might do out of the box. Particularly, I think of Redis and its pub/sub capabilities. Redis can do other things as well, like persistence and replication so it might be well worth looking at it not just as an alternative to Memcache.

Both of these engines may even be made swappable by standardizing on an API between Drupal and the pub/sub server.

Just my 2¢ on this fascinating new stuff.

i need this help on drupal.

i have a text file and file name is C:\wamp\www\mysite\sites\default\files\abc.txt. in this file is;

aaaaa bbb
ccccc ddd
eeeee fffff

if i type aaaa in the search box and hits enter means the output should come with the node containing the word aaaa and this this text document also.

This will be shown in search output

is there any module available for that?

thanks.

i'm planning to release node.js module as a 1.0 in the next 4 weeks or so.

soooo, i'm doing some of the 'really should be fixed before 1.0' tasks. this includes:

• moving a bunch of stupidly-hard-coded url settings from server.js into nodejs.config.js, and documenting them all in nodejs.config.example.js
• properly prepending a basePath to all http methods so auth will work as expected for non-default urls
• not allowing server.js to run with a blank serviceKey by default
• renaming 'backendSettings' to 'settings'
• getting rid of references to 'Drupal'

Thanks to the efforts of julien, we now have a Drupal 6 port of the Nodejs module.

It still needs work, so anyone who asked for a D6 port is invited to get the code and test it! Bug reports and patches welcome.

the drupal 7 port of the chatroom module is under way:

please follow that issue if you can help with code or testing.

this port will lay the basis for integrating node.js as a backend for chatroom.
