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.

Hi
i installed, it worked but no more !
in the meantime i installed a bunch of hack.
I disabled them all, still not working (no ajax update)
i uploaded VBispy but it is not a hack (no installation) it is standalone...

so how the troubleshoot then ?

[readjono]

Few suggestions:

1.) Not a fan of the faded out posts. Would like to be less transparent.

2.) The problem with your own posts is still there.

3.) Select user groups who can use this feature. Would like guests to be able to experience it too.

[readjono]

4.) It seems like the user activity limit does go very high. I think users last ten minutes before it stops.

5.) Might be useful to look into a way of editing posts without it refreshing and losing the edits.

[Tarfandestan]

Tanx, its great.
but unfortunately, its not compatible with Advanced Quick Reply and its not work when we using Advanced Quick Reply to posting in threads.

[fattony69]

Nevermind, figured out my problem.

[Poopdeckpappy]

Okay I just spent forever reading through these pages to see if someone had the same problem as me. There was one person who had the same thing happen, but that was on an early version and I guess some update fixed it for him

Anyways the problem is basic, apparently it works for everyone but me? I've made sure that I was counted as active by posting multiple times, and asking people to post...then when I refresh I see all the new posts. I tried it on Firefox and IE7. All the users are claiming it's cool and they like it, but what's it worth if I(admin) cant use it? :P

Anyone else had this issue?

Edit:
Now I've had users saying it works, some saying it doesn't. And it's not the browsers, because the people who have said it was working, and the people who said it wasn't, are all using FF.

^^ Perhaps you have a Conflicting Mod that is Activated for you as Admin and the Usegroups of the Users that say it doesn't work for them, and that is Not Activated (Usergroup Permissions set to No) for the Usergroups of the Users that Say it Work for them.

Check the Mods that Act at Postbit Level (that Affect something on the Posts), such as Passive Video and other Mods Reported as Conflicting with this Mod in this Thread as well as on the vB 3.7 Mod's Thread.

That could be the Explanation of Why it's working for some Users and Not for Others, if they're Using the Same Browsers and Browser Versions.

(If it is Please Post what was the Conflicting Mod so that we Admins could also Prevent and/or Control it's Use).

My Best Regards.

Also, remember to check your error_logs. And, if you have mod_security, check those logs also. I know I had a small problem between this mod and mod_security for only a handful of users and I found out what the problem was by looking at the logs.
