@ -2,25 +2,26 @@ This is a plugin to automatically load notices in the browser no
matter who creates them -- the kind of thing we see with
search.twitter.com, rejaw.com, or FriendFeed's "real time" news.
NOTE: this is an insecure version; don't roll it out on a production
server.
It requires a meteor server.
It requires a cometd server. I've only had the cometd-java server work
correctly; something's wiggy with the Twisted-based server.
http://meteorserver.org/
After you have a cometd server installed, just add this code to your
config.php:
Note that the controller interface needs to be accessible by the Web
server, and the subscriber interface needs to be accessible by your
Web users. You MUST firewall the controller interface from users;
otherwise anyone will be able to push any message to your subscribers.
Not good!
require_once(INSTALLDIR.'/plugins/Comet/CometPlugin.php');
$cp = new CometPlugin('http://example.com:8080/cometd/');
You can enable the plugin with this line in config.php:
Change 'example.com:8080' to the name and port of the server you
installed cometd on.
addPlugin('Meteor', array('webserver' => 'meteor server address'));
TODO:
Available parameters:
* webserver: Web server address. Defaults to site server.
* webport: port to connect to for Web access. Defaults to 4670.
* controlserver: Control server address. Defaults to webserver.
* controlport: port to connect to for control. Defaults to 4671.
* channelbase: a base string to use for channels. Good if you have
multiple sites using the same meteor server.
* Needs to be tested with Ajax submission. Probably messes everything
up.
* Add more timelines: personal inbox and tags would be great.
* Add security. In particular, only let the PHP code publish notices
to the cometd server. Currently, it doesn't try to authenticate.
