Join/Leave room event control

[Former Community Member]

Hi,

What would be the best method to control when a user enters or leaves a room? I have a data base keeping control on how many users each of my rooms has, and I'm looking to implement a good method to keep it up to date as it's very important for my application. Are there more possibilites appart from controlling it from the client side? I think that won't be valid as a client could have for example some connection problem and then it won't be able to send the "I left the room message" to my server. Is there some way to a call from the adobe server to some php function on my server when that occurs?

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

One way from the client side would be listening to UserEvent.USER_REMOVE event from UserManager. This gets fired when the user item gets retracted from on server.

We mainly use this for any client side bookkeeping of userlists.

However, using server to server API your server can listen to the UserManager Collection once you have called registerhook, and subscribed to UserManager Collection. There is a php example in sampleApps for your server registering hook and listening to a collection node like UserManager.

Thanks for the fast response! I was not sure I could manage that with the server 2 server api, I think I am taking that way. I will take a deep look into it and post if I have any further question.
