Group watch slow if hundreds of users: batch/cron instead?
Hi all:
I'm testing the "group watch" feature in production servers running Tiki5, after the discussions in the TikiFestBarcelona2.
One of them is the one about Barter networks and users don't participate more probably because after registration, they don't get emails about offers and demands, and most of them seem not to come back to the website to check new offers and demands.
The site has more than 700+ users already, and many of them seem to come from other networks where they get all offers and demands from email lists.
So that's why I've temporarily enabled the "group watch" feature for registered users on the trackers about offers and demands.
In my first addition of new tracker item, after clicking on the insert new item, it took more than 2 minutes to finish the action, while before the "group watch" on that tracker was enbled, it took around 2-5 seconds. Tried on the other tracker, and same issue.
It seems that the user don't see the action finished (the tracker item posted) until all the 700+ emails have been sent.
Wouldn't it be better if the emails are sent in batch (for instance) mode, and thus, the users sees the action of inserting a new item finished in just a few seconds again?
Couldn't the "batch/cron" feature recently added by Sylvie (in trunk) be used for that somehow?
How much work this would mean? I'm willing to sponsor somebody to do this before Tiki6 falls into feature freeze mode.
Anyone can help improving this feature?
