Show Thread Enhancements - [DBTech] AJAX Threads v1 (vB3)

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!

That's because all threads are live

Unless the thread is closed or doesn't match the criteria set up in vBulletin Options for this mod, it's a live thread.

You can turn off the image in vBulletin Options.

Ok, but when I installed this hack all the threads are unmarked, when one of them is update all the threads in the entire forum are marked as LIVE.

Thanks Fillip

It kind of mess up the entire forum theme which is the default one.

Is just a white page with the forum info on it. No colums, colors or nothing. Looks like the CSS was killed

Have you tried toggling the Store CSS As Files setting in vBOptions? It's not an issue in this mod.

Hello,

I've got the "not working in IE" issue. IE developer tools say the error is:

SCRIPT1028: Expected identifier, string or number
ajaxthreads.js, Row 3 Character 334

Apparently there was a stray comma. After fixing it, I got another script error:

SCRIPT1028: Expected identifier, string or number
ajaxthreads.js, Row 20 Character 371

Which turned out to be another stray comma. After removing that now, it now works also in IE.

[DragonByte Tech]

IE tends to be overly sensitive about syntax like that - I've applied this change to my internal dev files and it'll be permanently fixed in the next version.

Thanks

Update

Hotfix: PHP 5.4 Compatibility fixes


This does not guarantee the mod is error free on PHP 5.4, but it will take care of the reported errors. Thank you all for your reports
