Queue-it

Queue-it is an online queue system designed to manage website overload during extreme end-user peaks. It offers an API for programmatic access to configuring and controlling the queue.

About module

This module is unofficial implementation of Queue-it Framework for Drupal CMS. You need to have existing Queue-it account in order to use it.

Authentication

In order to authenticate and authorize the Api-Key, HTTP header must be supplied in the REST request. The key can be found in the GO Queue-it Platform.

This API Key should be specified in the settings page of the module at admin/config/services/queueit.

Dependencies

The module depends on Known User Implementation for PHP hosted at GitHub repository.

With composer, setting up things is fairly easy.

1. Download and install the Composer Manager module.

2. Run the drush command: drush composer-manager install.

   If you are already using composer_manager with other modules, simply run: "drush composer-manager update" This should set up all of your dependencies and all of the libraries necessary to run behat tests.

To check if the library has been installed, as admin visit /admin/config/system/composer-manager page.

By default, composer_manager will place all of the libraries at /sites/all/vendor. Inside of the vendor directory there is a bin directory and inside of it we can find the behat executable.

KnownUser API

You can use the Known user setting to test if a specific user has arrived at your site via the queue, or if the user has tried to bypass the queue. The KnownUser validation must only be done on page requests.

Troubleshooting

Error: Class KnownUser not found

When using Composer Manager, make sure you've rebuilded and updated composer.json correctly by:

drush composer-json-rebuild
drush composer-manager update
