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.

What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps us know how many people are using our work, giving us extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

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!

It's compatible with DBTech's Thanks mod, we unfortunately can't guarantee compatibility with every Thanks mod out there

This is a stupid mode.It overloaded the forum.

[DragonByte Tech]

I'm not entirely sure what the point of your comment is, it's not exactly what I'd call constructive critisism, but thank you for taking the time to comment


Fillip

[Popa Andrei]

You are welcome.

I've tried to install a few times to our 4.2 forum, but the ACP functions won't work. When I click any of the functions I get this browser error: The requested URL /test/sec_adm/ajaxthreads.php was not found on this server.

Sure enough the files aren't there. Are those files supposed to be placed in that folder by the install script? I put all the other files in the folders where they belong and have checked several times to make sure they're all there.

I can see that it's installed because I see the message at the tops of forums, but there's no way for me to change any of the settings.

No, you need to manually upload the contents of the /upload/admincp dir to your sec_adm folder.

Fillip

Ok, thanks. But that's a little confusing since I have an admincp folder in forums/ and the zip archive also has an admincp folder but no sec_adm folder.

[DragonByte Tech]

That's because I have no way of knowing what you customised your AdminCP folder to be

By default, the folder is called admincp. You chose to rename it, I cannot account for that. It's your responsibility to check that all mods that upload files to the admincp and modcp folders go in your renamed folders instead.

Is it also possible to stop the mod from automatically scrolling down the newest post?

It doesn't do that?
