Auto update feature?
« on: December 20, 2002, 05:50:26 AM »		 Reply with quote
I'm running two seperate Yabb forums.  The first is running on Yabb gold and I have a mod on it to allow the page to auto-update every 90 seconds.  I've been unable to locate a similar mod for YabbSE.  Is one in the works?

Yeah, I know, it eats up bandwidth and processor time but I'm willing to give it up for this particular feature.

Can't you do this with a meta tag in your template?

I'm a bit of a dunce when it comes to code.  :-\  The fellow who set things up for me hasn't been available lately so I figured I'd ask you folks about this.  I guess this doesn't really belong in this forum if it can be done with a meta-tag.  Sorry about that.

Try putting this in the head section of your template.

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="90">

Don't forget if you and all the other users use Autorefresh your traffic will increase dramatically. And you have to pay more for your hosting.
This is my experienced.

And if someone takes over 90 seconds to post it will autorefresh the post screen too.

This function brings more problems than you think.
I wouldn't install it on my page ;)

LOL.  You folks are dead on there.  I put it on.  It's back off now though.  Well, that's one bit of "functionality" that I can live without.

Taken from the documationation of the Who's Online mod, if you're wanting to only refresh under certain conditions, the following can be placed in the <HEAD> of your template instead to achive the same effect, and tweaked by condition (in this example, when viewing the Who's Online):

<?
global $action;
if ($action == "who") {
  print " <meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"60; url=$scripturl?action=$action\">\n";
}
?>

The exact code I used for this is as follows:

Code Select
<?
global $action;
global $board;
   if ($action == "" && $board == "")
     print " <meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"90; url=$scripturl?action=$action\">\n";
   if ($action == "expandcat" || $action == "collapsecat" )
     print " <meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"90; url=$scripturl?action=$action\">\n";
?>
All you need to do is insert this into your forum template just before the <BODY text=#xxxxxx link=#xxxxxx bgColor=#xxxxxx> tag.

This will only update the main board every 90 seconds. And, because I have the collapsable categories mod, I have the second if statement to refresh after someone has expanded or collapsed a category.
