Show Thread Enhancements - [DBTech] AJAX Threads v1 (vB4)

AJAX Threads: What is it?
AJAX Threads brings your threads alive, making them automatically refresh without needing to reload the page.

Uses

AJAX Threads is the ideal product for forums with busy threads or which deal with any sort of "event" be that TV shows, sports or game releases!
AJAX Threads allows you to make topics "auto update" without the user having to refresh. This can give performance benefits when applied to threads which receive a lot of refresh requests, and can increase user participation.
Topics can be turned live by admins individually, or you can set whole forums to have their threads be live automatically. You can even allow only VIP usergroups to have threads refresh automatically to increase subscription numbers.

Major Features:

Automatically Refresh Threads: Users will now see new posts in "real time" without having to refresh the page

Performance Benefits: If your forum receives lots of refresh requests on threads being posted in often this can put a lot of strain on your server - AJAX Threads will greatly reduce server resources used in those situations by refreshing only the minimum information required.

Total Control: You can set threads individually or per forum. You can set particular usergroups to receive the benefit, and you can even have it apply automatically to popular threads!

Two questions:
1. I tried to buy the pro version and it was unable to and said to contact the merchant.
2. If pro version, does the 'live' icon only show on currently live threads?

[DragonByte Tech]

1. Where are you receiving that error? Please post the full error message.

2. That's the case for the Lite version too

1. I received it on paypal site. If I attempt again I will let you know.

2. Every thread has the red live image not just threads that folks are currently participating in.

how do you get it to only say "live" on selected threads instead of globally? it looks really bad on all threads but i would like it on some only.

also how to have it only say "updated every..." at the bottom instead of top and bottom? thanks.

Neither of those things can be done at this time, sorry

ok, cool. i just solved it by turning off your LIVE plugin and then creating a thread prefix that is bright red and says LIVE. so ill put that prefix on events. works good.

ill try to dig around and figure out how to only get the text to show up at the bottom. i mean, you dont really need to click to refresh when you are on the first post since you still have to scroll down anyways.

im using it to iframe a thread into a 900x200 window below an iframe of live video streams. so basically making a forum thread into a chatbox since it auto updates without having to leave the page. i put an anchor so that when the thread iframe loads it goes straight to the first posts instead of the top, eliminating all the nav bars etc.

that way i have my vbookie/play by play thread on the same page as the video sports stream. i combined it with simple postbit mod to remove all the post bit and avatars only on those threads.

hey there, how do i stop the mod from automatically bumping me to the bottom as soon as a reply is posted?

thanks

[DragonByte Tech]

We use vBulletin's default function for initialising postbit for maximum compatibility, so if that's a feature of that function then we can't change that unfortunately

[prophetmuhammad]

also, it doesn't seem to be compatible with some "Thank" plug-ins.
