Message-ID: A friend of mine who is a webmaster wants to use Joomla to serve his membership of a not-for-profit trade organization. He had some questions about Joomla, which I wasn't able to readily produce metrics to properly answer him and ease his concerns. His main concerns were about capacity. While I had a feeling Joomla would be able to handle all his needs, I want to pass along some numbers to back up my feeling. Q: What is Joomla's capacity for the number of registered users? Is this limited by the hardware resources, or is there a limit that at some point either Joomla using MySQL can't handle it, or performance greatly suffers? What might be that limit? A 100k? A million? A billion? Limited by available disk space on device? Q: What is Joomla's capacity to handle simultaneous users, or is this limited by the hardware/OS resources? It would also help to have some URLs of high traffic Joomla web sites to pass along to him as an example. Thanks!

I've personally been involved in Joomla-powered commerce sites with >350k pageviews daily, as well as some internal sites with thousands of user accounts. Joomla can scale, and with minimal effort can scale to a pretty big extreme. > Q: What is Joomla's capacity for the number of registered users?

Theoretically speaking, you're limited to your deployment and how you got MySQL setup. >From real experience, you will exceed your threshold for pain with the admin interface well before you start pushing MySQL or Joomla from an infrastructure perspective. For example, the last thing you want is a dropdown of usernames when you got >10,000 to cram in that list... hehe > Q: What is Joomla's capacity to handle simultaneous users, or is this > limited by the hardware/OS resources? Again, the limitations of the infrastructure are probably rediculously far out there to worry about. However, you will need to make some modifications in order to manage load-balancing, as well as some modifications to the default admin template in order to manage that much data. Ultimately what becomes your biggest issue is how much you rely on the admin interface to manage such a large pile of stuff. Remember that one of the strengths of Joomla is its flexibility; and you're free to create your own admin template - and therefore also admin "screens" that are specific to the scale of your site's requirements. > It would also help to have some URLs of high traffic Joomla web sites > to pass along to him as an example. I've recently contributed memcache storage for both sessions and caching storage to the 1.5 tree, and combine that with some simple work to facilitate load-balanced environments, you can take Joomla 1.5 to pretty big extremes. I'm currently building a site based on the 1.5 framework (not using the CMS) for a site that gets around 40M pageviews every week. Would love to do a case study at a future NYPHP event if I pull it off ;-) Once this is done, I'm starting up a high-traffic Joomla group specifically to deal with such issues, as there are a lot of media companies that are attracted to the attractive possibilities of using Joomla as their base platform - and I'd like to provide that resource to the community. -- Mitch From mpanderso at cox.net Wed May 23 23:41:52 2007 From: mpanderso at cox.net (Michael Anderson) Date: Wed, 23 May 2007 22:41:52 -0500 Subject: [joomla] Exporting Contet item text Message-ID: Hi all, I'm new to Joomla, but I have a need to export the text from content items into Microsloth Word so that it maintains formatting - italics, bold, etc. Cut/paste looses everything.
