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!

hey.

ok i will do that. but first a question:
because my site is not public yet i can only try this feature using the same ip but different browsers and different nicknames.
but actually it should work nevertheless or not?
the only thing that doesn't work on my site is the refresh itself.
i can see all other aspects concerning the mod, but the refresh seems not to be working, neither the automatic one, nor the manual one :/

[Alex@bulletin]

hmm deactivating all other mods didn't change anything.
but in the readme there is an aspect i haven't done yet:

"If you haven't done so already, add yourself to the Super Administrators
variable in config.php"

i'm not sure...what do i have to do exactly? i have absolutely no php-knowledge and don't want to crash my files

I've confirmed an issue with guests, but my account is submitted for moderation so I cannot check for any errors as a member.

That won't change anything, but here's the vBulletin manual on this: https://www.vbulletin.com/docs/onepage/#item465

Thanks for looking at it for me, Fillip. Your membership has been approved.

I'll go read the manual to make sure I'm not missing something obvious.

Your problem is that http://twistsnturns.net/ajaxthreads.php returns 404. Please upload all files inside the upload folder to your main forum folder

I'm a moron

Thanks Fillip, I couldn't see that for looking at it.. I'd uploaded everything except that .php

Works a treat - Brilliant - You can count on my vote for Mod of the Month :up:

[Alex@bulletin]

Hey guys. i now checked up the Firefox Error Log:
and it says:

Fehler: ajax_last_post is not defined
Quelldatei: http://weltderkarten.de/dbtech/ajaxt...reads.js?v=102
Zeile: 66

weltderkarten.de is my domain

hope you can use my information although there are in german

Edit: I've tested the mod in Opera and Internet Explorer too but it doesn't work there.....
Even a completely new installation has not changed something -.-

[DragonByte Tech]

That's related to the aforementioned guest issue, will be fixed in 1.0.3

What type of server are you on, what are the specs?

Did you try and disable other mods to see if it conflicting with another mod?
