here you go.

just edit the $RefreshRate variable to a number (10 = 10 seconds) and you are good to go

edit / - changed the extension to .txt

    @jonezy: Can you adapt this extension, so not only the discussion list gets refreshed - but also the discussion itself (when you are in the thread)? Thanks!
  • jonezyjonezy New

  • orangeguruorangeguru

    Just change it to : 
    
$RefreshRate = "10";  // refresh rate in seconds, edit this to your liking.

if (in_array($Context->SelfUrl, array("index.php", "comments.php")) && $Context->Session->UserID > 0) {
  
   if (@$Head) {
      $Head->Addstring("<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=".$RefreshRate.">");
      
   }

}
    M.

    Works still great in the discussion lists - but not inside of threads.

    Hmmm. Any ideas?

    (Shut down old plugin, deleted on server, copied edited version via ftp on server, reactivated the plugin via admin)

    Just checked the code via FF:

    Discussion list has a refresh command.
    Discussion threas has no refresh command.

    solved

    Restarted server - now it works.

    But it refreshes the whole page - so if anyone is currently writing a comment their comments entry box is 'cleaned' refreshed to blank as well.

    Would be nice if only the content of the thread is refreshed - not the whole page.

    ;-)

    Ah well, you can't really do what you want. You'd have to rig up some clever Asynchronous JavaScript to refresh the post only. M.

    Does this works on the new version?
