Hey Mike, I've been evaluating different solutions for similar task (Comet in Joomla Platform) for ongoing project and Ape project seems like the winner at the moment, Socket.io would be on second place. Anyway you'll need to deploy Python for server-side part (see http://www.ape-project.org/wiki/index.php/Setup#Requirements_2) or Node.js for socket.io. I haven't designed complete integration for Joomla yet (not required at this point), but most probably it will act only as a wrapper for the view.
There are some projects that try to bring comet solely using PHP (www.spoutserver.com) but even that it's possible, I think it won't ever be so scalable as in Python on Node because of nature of PHP. On Aug 22, 12:16 am, verylastminute <[email protected]> wrote: > http://socket.io
