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.
I have noticed it to be more of a conflicting mod kind of thing though. I'm going to try crank out a version today for you guys that fixes most of the mod compatibility issues or provide compatibility solutions for the popular mods.
For those incompatible hacks, do you need to uninstall them or disable them is good enough?
Disabling them is Enough, (You Don't Need to Uninstall them).
For the Topic of the Month/Week, for the DoublePost Preventing, and for other Conflicting Mods, there are Proposed Solutions; if you search this Thread (for vB38x) and the one for vB37x you'll find them.
Alright, I put everything from the upload folder into my public_html/forum folder, and I imported the .xml file into my Manage Products part of the my forum. Then, I did the custom image part; however, I cannot seem to get it to work on my forum.
If you Check the Thread of this Mod for vB37x you'll find a Possible Solution I Proposed to Solve that Conflict with that Particular Mod and you'll be able to Use Both Mods, (if you use Topic of the Week/Month to Nominate Topics of the First Posts which means to Nominate the Thread and Not Particular Posts).
I think Coders Shack that It'd be Nice if you Include a Link to This Particular Post, on both Threads (vB37x and vB38x), it seems like some Users are having that Conflict and are Reporting that the Mod Don't Work without Checking Your First Mod and also if they Check it perhaps they don't Read Nor Search the Entire Threads of the Mod for vB37x and vB38x to Find This Solution to That Particular Conflict.
I read a User's Post that said that the Solution Worked for Him, so If You Try it and Approve it, it'd Help Some Users yo Enjoy Your Live Topic Mod.
You can Also Include in the Conflict List the Mod "Popup Private Messaging", as I reported to You in one of my Posts on the vB37x Thread, because that Mod Interferes with the Hide of Old Posts.
My Best Regards.
just read this. I do have Popup Private Messaging on. Will disable that and see if Live Topic works
figured out my problem. I turned off Snipers Mood manager and Live Topic tried to work. Instead of a new flash message, it actually stopped. I saw that at the bottom of the screen. no new message appeared, just blans and the word stopped at the bottom.
