Hi,

I am implementing a new site wich includes almos 2000 groupjive automation rules. I am experiencing memory allocation / server time-out problems. Those problems doesn't apperar in a Virtual Machine local instalation provided with 4mb RAM.

I just wonder, as first attempt to share the problema with you, how to proceed with this king of problems, and if any of you guys have had this king of problem before.

The problem is that I can not be any sure, that upgrading my hosting pack will solve the problems...

Thank you in advance,

Hi Krileon,

Thanks for your replay, that seems to be the problem indeed. We want the users to join or leave the groups automatically in response of filling in or deleting the content of certain fields.

The site is for employment purposes on 21 different countries and each member can have up to 41 areas of expertise (which are the fields). That makes 41*2*21=1722 rules, as we don't want the candidates to have to join or leave groups, just fill in their profile. Doing it that way, employers can easily find candidates by country and area of expertise. You can take a look at temporal site: s471090637.mialojamiento.es/index.php/anuncios (Spain is a good example to look at).

I would like to have a friendly way to look for unemployed people according to the country and area of experience. May be I don't know how to implement a search depending on two different fields of the profiles, and thats why I am going crazy implementing rules .

May you have any recommendation about this, I would appreciate it!!

On the other hand, from the programing point of view of groupjive rules, I don't understand why all rules have to be processed to execute one....


Best Regards and thks again,
