Refresh homepage every X Seconds

[CrazyShooter]

This is my very first mod so go easy on me!

This mod will make your homepage automaticly refresh to how ever many seconds you choose!

In FORUMHOME Find:
$headinclude

And add above:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="XX"; url=" />

Where XX is change to the number of seconds you want in between every refresh

60: 1 minute

You might want to add in the instructions something about adding your own url in the code like you did with the time setting.

And an AdminCP function would of course be the professional finishing touch, but as is, I love this. It was one of my two "wish list" mods in fact. :D

Thanks again.

Hi

I have tried this and it works well...
There is a down side to having this....

If you have a shoutbox of ny kind then auto refreshing of the page
will not go down too well, as whilst typing in the box and it refreshes
you will lose all that you have typed lol

Great idea btw but i cant use it, well done :)

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="XX; url=" />

content="x"

values for parameters should be inside the " .. "

[CrazyShooter]

sorry about that, just a typo error

How would you do it with showthread or forumhome? Something that has info after the .php?

For example, http://www.YOURSITE.com/forumdisplay.php?f=27

How would you refresh that without losing the f=27?

[trigon]

installed, BUT: on the forumhome they shows me this:
function largerThan(a,b) { return a>b; }
Changed the time from 60 to 30 but no change. :(

Edit: Now it works, i delete this: url="

Anybody?

you just want it for forum id 27? or with all forums?

if you want it for all forums you would just edit the FORUMDISPLAY template and add the code above
$headinclude

for showthread you would just edit the SHOWTHREAD template and do the same...

Is it possible for the 'newposts' to auto-refresh, and if so, change what where?
