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.
tagged... this seems like an uber mod! but is there any way to make it work with the scrolling marquee text? I rely on that mod to make announcements on the main page!

my goal for 1.07b (trying to make time to do it) is to clear up the compatibility issues or provide a way to make them work together (you may have to edit files that belong to the other mods)
Coders Shack, I've just Tested Your Solution for the Conflict with the DoublePost Prevention Mod, and Works Really Well. :up:

I Liked a Lot the LIVE Edit Message that Appeared on the Merged DoublePost:
Quote:
"This post has been added by another user
Since this is an active topic, this post has been automatically added to the thread while you were reading it. If you are replying to this thread you might want to read this post before doing so."
I also noticed that this Message Appears on a LiveTopic Every Time an User Edits a Posted Message that is on the Current Page Viewed, so that way the Other Users can Read the Changed Post before Posting their Message. :up:

It looks like you didn't install it correctly. But, anyway, to disable the plugins so you may login to your site - edit config.php and add this line right under <?php

did you up load all the files to their correct places?

edit includes/config.php
add this to the top of the file so it looks like this:
<?php
define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);
then save the file and you'll be able to log in again and reverse/uninstall what you last did.
ok ,thanks you guys are great.now,do i go back in the config.php file and delete the disable hooks?i disabled livetopic in admin cp.is it safe to return config.php back to original?:up:
