Real time update.

Permalink
Hello,

I'm new to this system, and is it possible to get the editing of a text on a page to change without updating the site?

I look at the site on 1 computer, and change the text on another and then the change happends on the other without having to update the page. Like a Ajax system.

Thanks in advance.

/ Alexander

Well the default system will not work like this. But this can be done through some custom Ajax work. You can simply reload an area (Not the whole page) after each 10 secs or maybe less through Ajax. This is how many live news site works. E.g.http://www.cricinfo.com/

Do you have any idea how to start?

Here is a great add-on which will help you to lesson the Ajax.

You can also re-load a block using my Blocks by Ajax addon coupled with a simple polling timer loop in javascript to re-load the block.

Beware that any such repetitive reloading, especially with multiple visitors all reloading, can massively increase the server load.

If you wanted to optimise this, you would need to include tests for whether a page is currently checked out for edit or has recently been edited (and hence likely to be edited again), and adjust the poll interval.
