Live Topic - AJAX

. . . . . . . . Brought to you by scriptasy.com

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/
. . . http://www.Scriptasy.com

Live Demo:

Live Topic 1.07b Demo (you must be logged in, and the topic must be "live")

Videos: 1.00b 1.06b

watch the damn videos... ^_^

Description:

This product is different from anything you have seen before, it raises the bar for forums. It will make your forums much more interactive, and also reduce server load.

Technical Details:

If a thread has been posted in X seconds then its now Live, if other users are viewing the Live topic and are on the last page they will experience a clean ajax experience while talking to other members. Once the thread is older than X seconds its no longer Live and it will now act like a normal thread. Also if a user edits one of their posts that's inside of the thread, it will be updated too so there is no longer a reason to ever have to refresh.

There is also logic for the viewer, the viewer of the thread has to be in an active state to see responses. An active user state is determined upon the users actions, if no actions were made in X seconds then the user is marked as inactive.

Also you may wonder why this could save your server bandwidth and CPU. If a user is refreshing to talk to another members the queries on a normal thread load are way more intense than the ajax call that this modification makes. So if you have 5 people talking to each other none of them have to refresh the page, all they are doing is simple page requests and one intense request when there has actual change.

You can test Live Topic with two users, you will see how amaizing this is... And probably spontaneously combust.

Found a bug? Want to request a feature?

Live Topic - Project Manager

Installation:

This is take less than 3 minutes to install, takes longer to notice its amazing feature. (you need multiple people to be active in the same topic)

Things I am required to tell you i guess:

installs are tracked (upon install track.scriptasy.com is pinged, it just tracks installs not uninstalls or anything else)

Fixes for incompatible mods:

i only have a 3.7.4 board up and running, if you have variations of 3.7.x feel free to try it out. If there are any issues or if there are none, please give me a heads up :)

Great Mod. I'm Amazed of what I saw on the Demo Video. I'll test it on vB373 and I'll tell you how it Works.

Congratulations, is a Great Mod. :up:

Thank You For Sharing it.

My Best Regards.

I'll test it when I have some Forumers on my Board to Post simultaneous Posts.

I've tried to test it with two accounts on my same computer but didn't worked that way, why? :confused:

I have a question:

- Will Guests also view the Refresh of the Posts? :confused:

And perhaps a suggestion for next release:

- Could you please add Usergroup permissions for those who can enjoy this behaviour? I think that for Guests, Banned, Not Confirmed, and Users in other low level Groups, should not enjoy this, but Users in more Active Usergroups would definitely Appreciate this Mod; would be nice for Admins to decide who can use it and who can't. ;)

My Best Regards; once I have my Testing Results I'll share them with you.

Guests don't see the updates it has to be a logged in user.

I do plan on adding features like the ones you have listed, but unfortunately for now all of your members will have to be treated as equals :P

I Confirm this Error, I'm getting exactly the same one on my Board. :confused:

Disabling the Mod for now until Correction/Solution of this Bug; Quick Edit seems to Work but Advanced Editor Displays that DataBase Error.

My Best Regards.

Is that Edit Function working on your Forum, Coders Shack? (Not the Quick Edit, but the Advanced Editor one)

My Best Regards, I Hope this can be Solved.

I've been waiting for something like this for a while. Thanks for putting this together and I hope you make good on bringing this hack to a real polished level.

Marked as installed but I'll wait for it to come out of beta before I actually try it.

Perhaps on "zzznameofdatabase.post" the Prefix of the Table "post" is missing on the Code? :confused:

Tested on Vb 3.7.0 and works perfect so far. Thanks again!

One thing that would be nice is a notification of some sort if your on another tab or window, etc. Not sure if this is a realistic feature, though.

OMG thank you for releasing a vb 3.7 version!!!!

Tried this in vb 3.8.0 and it doesn't work, I get no errors, just nothing updates automatically. Wonder what code is different in the new version of vbulletin.

01-14-2009 01:18 PM

I am using Firefox and it only posts the live topic when you reply again using the quick reply.... same issue in IE 7 even in compatability mode :(

OK will edit this:

It works when typing in IE 7 and it shows in Firefox, but when you type in firefox it dont show in IE 8 nor Google
browser, Also not working when you type in Google chrome to other browsers :(

IE to other browsers is great :) but that seems to be the only one atm

instead of refreshing the page to see if anyone has replied. Leave this thread open. For example, you just posted that message above at 15:26 its now 15:35. You have options to determine how long the thread is deamed active, if it was set to 10 min then my reply would automatically pop up below your thread. It saves on bandwidth i guess.

Does not work at the moment on my vb 3.8.0

Works perfeclty in 3.8.0.

If your waiting for a reply on a thread and someone posts you do not need to refresh the page, it will use ajax to add the post, normally anyway, there are a few browser issues!!!

I confirm, the Mod doesn't Work on vB373. :(

It displays the Live Topic Icon on Threadbit when a Forumer is in the Thread, but when Posting a QuickReply is doesn't Refresh the Posts on the other Side (other Forumer's Last Page). :(

Is there a way to Generate a vB373 Version? (I don't have soon plans to Update, because much of the Mods I Run on my Board are Tested and Running for vB373 and not Guaranteed for Higher). :confused:

I Hope Coders Shack that you can Provide that Option, or perhaps indicate the Plugin/Files/Templates Edits to make it work on vB373. :o

My Best Regards.

no, as far as i see the new version of this mod works not with 3.73
but I hope we will get a working version for 3.73 soon
finally i want to nomianate this mod, but it need to be fixed for 373
I really hope coders shack will help us:-) **please, we need you, this mod is fantastic:-)**
A lot of people are waiting for the this and I have exactly the same problem as inciarco, most of my mods are tested and only running on 3.73

Doesn't work on 3.7.1 either.

I go to install it and when I'm adding the product the page just hangs. If I let it sit for long enough it breaks my board and the only way to fix it then is to repair/optimize tables.

All times are GMT. The time now is 05:03 AM.
