autorefresh discussionlist

jackmaessen

Using 2.0.18.9
I did already read the topics here about autorefresh and the advantages and disadvantages but i have a question about this line:

$Configuration['Vanilla']['Comments']['AutoRefresh'] = '30';

For me the refreshing of comments is not important, but the discussionlist, i would like to give it a autorefresh.
So i thought adding this line in config.php would do the job, but it doesn't

$Configuration['Vanilla']['Discussions']['AutoRefresh'] = '30';

Is there a way to make it possible to autorefresh the discussionlist?

AFAIK nothing like this is implemented.

This is where I plug the first plugin I ever made for Vanilla, Latest Post List!

http://vanillaforums.org/addon/latestpostlist-plugin

It shows the latest discussions in the sidebar and has a configurable ajax update. You can set it up to check however often you want.

I have already installed this plugin @hgtonight, is it easy to configure it so that he catches the class "ul.DataList.Discussions"? ( This is the class i would like to have an autorefresh on)
I am looking in the class.latestpostlist.plugin.php and i can see this line:

// if we want to be on all pages, skip the check
        // otherwise leave if we aren't in an approved controller
        if ($Pages != 'all' && !InArrayI($Controller, $ShowOnController) ) {
            return;
        }

I should change something in this line?

Latest Post List adds a module to the panel. That list is refreshed on a regular basis.

You could add some JS to the discussions controller that auto refreshes (just bind an ajax request to /discussions.json on a timeout) but that will have a compounding effect for every user.
