Hi all,
I am looking for a nudge in the right direction!
Goal:
Have a scrolling box on the main page of my website that is being up-dated in real-time with new posts, threads etc much like what is seen at:
http://www.tripadvisor.com/ - In the "Right Now on TripAdvisor"
I want this box to be able to accept any event not just vbulletin but thought I would start with this for now.
Thoughts:
I was thinking of using perhaps external.php RSS feeds or XML files that are generated at regular intervals, say 30 seconds !
Any thoughts links or suggestions would be appreciated
Cheers
