Rules

Wouldn’t it be cool if you could use Rules to periodically set, change or modify certain Drupal site configurations and variables?

Yeah, it would be cool and nowit is totally do-able with "Rules Set Site Variables”

Below is my use case and a simple recipe on how to use Rules (and a few helper modules) to change site configurations periodically. I imagine you can use it for all kinds of other craziness on your Drupal site.

This is a the module I wish I had when I started to integrate node.js with Drupal.

In its essence, Node.js Rules Chatterbox is a simple way to make your site spit out real-time messages to your site users.

Whether it's a warning message to admin or notification to certain members, it provides a simple way to customize display messages using Rules. For a site builder, it gives you the real-time notifications power of node.js with the ease of creating customized events and reactions via Drupal Rules UI.
