Nascar, good job Dude 

[Marcus Forsberg]

Thanks for the comment an translation
I'll add it when I have my computer fixed, I'm on my mothers computer currenty

[jossanaijr]

Nascar,
it's working fine but a notice 2 things:

when you are in a board, or child board, it reloads to main index.php.
Also if you are using quick reply you lost it and also goes to main page.

But it is working fine and stops working, if you are using reply or creating a new topic. Great.
Also it reloads to current page if you are looking who's on line, messages, stats... Great!

[neil h]

Hi Nascar,

I've had something like this on my SMF wish-list for a long time!

Unfortunately, I cannot seem to get the mod to work for me. I have installed to the defaults, made edits to my custom theme, and set the reload in 'Basic Features'  to 30 seconds, 60 seconds and 100 seconds, but the page is not reloading for me.

I'm on v.1.1.7 and my theme is RT Versatility.

any advice?

Neil

[Marcus Forsberg]

May I have a link to your site and a copy of your custom theme file?

[neil h]

May I have a link to your site and a copy of your custom theme file?

My URL is:
frameforum dot org slash forum3 slash index dot php

Can I PM you a URL for zipped theme file, or do you only need the index tempate?

Thanks,

Neil

I only need index.template.php
Also, where there any errors during installation?

[neil h]

Hi nascar,

Nope, everything installed seamlessly, and the theme i'm using is very 'mod friendly' in that it uses a lot of default functions. It ought to be working, but it's not!

Here's the index template, before and after modding.

[slinouille]

Hello!
Thank you for the mod :-)

Here is my French translation :

Code Select Expand

$txt['reload_time']='Rafraichissement de la page toutes les <div class="smalltext"> secondes. Ne rien pr&eacute;ciser pour d&eacute;sactiver. <br /></div>';

Just for information concerning the install2.xml, I have errors when installing. Here are the lines I've modified.

Hi Nascar,
is there a way to fix this?

EDIT: Also I have the problem with action=chat

[Sudhakar Arjunan]

Good Mod.

If I remove the reload for qucik reply, the topics will not reload either.
Just add 'chat', among the other actions in index.template.php.

Hi Nascar,
chat solved.  Added and working (not reloading).
What do you mean with "topics will not reload"?
For me it will be okay if it does not reload when member is reading any board or topic.

[Marcus Forsberg]

Thw quickreply is inside each topic. If we do not want the quickreply to reload, the topic won't reload either, and the point of the mod is broken.

[neil h]

I'm just trying to get the board index to refresh every couple of minutes, but i can't figure out why the mod is no working for me... 

[jossanaijr]

Are you using Vista, XP...?
This week I opened the site in one old PC with Windows 2000 and it did not work.

[cleanfiles]

Can this be used to reload the Whos online page only? Thats the only page I would like to use something like this.

[Marcus Forsberg]

Which SMF version are you using, cleanfiles?

[barryc]

1.1.7 Aqua theme does not work. But if I switch to the core theme it does.  Any Ideas?

[Marcus Forsberg]

Welcome to SMF, barryc!

Yes, one idea. Attach index.template.php, located in ./Themes/aqua/ and I will do the proper edits for you

Happy holidays
Nascar

[barryc]

Ok I will give me a few minutes to find what it is your asking for.

[barryc]

Thanks for the welcome and the help,,,I have tried for days to figure it out,,,I just have nt  had enough experience yet.

[Marcus Forsberg]

Try this file.

Happy holidays
Nascar

[barryc]

Thank you.

[Marcus Forsberg]

Code (Replace whit) Select Expand



// Only refresh if you are in one of these actions
$refresh_actions = array('who');

// We are good to go - If the refreshing is enabled, and we are in any of the above actions, that is.
   if (!empty($modSettings['reload_time']) && in_array($context['current_action'], $refresh_actions))

Add other actions into array('who');, like:

Code Select Expand

array('who', 'profile');

If you like to refresh other actions.

[cleanfiles]

Thanks for the reply, before I start though, by the looks of the changes there i need the mod installed first then make these changes right?

[Marcus Forsberg]

Yes.

[cleanfiles]

Ok I installed the mod and made the edits to the theme, then made your changes and it works just right on Firefox and IE. Thank you, now I can get rid of the Firefox plugin. Great work and great support.

[Marcus Forsberg]

Glad you enjoyed it

[ttuu]

I want users to be able to configure themselves to run if the auto-refresh or not.
Is that possible?

[Marcus Forsberg]

Should be. Bump me if I don't respond within a week.

[billis_2]

Hi.

Any way to the Quick Reply?
Do not refresh when posted with Quick Reply!

[ttuu]

Should be. Bump me if I don't respond within a week.

Forget it?

[Marcus Forsberg]

Sorry for the long delay!

@ttuu
I'll add this feature as soon as I have enough time.

@ billis_2
That might be a hard one if you still want to refresh posts.

@ TW1ST3D
Look back in this topic, the solution has been found for this.

[markettwain]

I love the mod, Nas!

Would you be so kind as to post the edits necessary so that only the who's online and main index page reload? I'm using 2.0 RC1.

Thanks!



EDIT: Well I was able to answer my own question and I got things working in RC1. Today I upgraded to RC1.1 and the mod says it's incompatible. Is there a way to make it work?

Updated for RC3

[marwan]

Installed this mod on my RC3. Uninstalled it after it kept reloading all forum pages in an annoying way. Still it keeps reloading all pages even after uninstallation. Any idea to clean things up?

Why does it still refresh when I have already added 'topic' into the list of array?

Please advise.
