Auto-refresh in 2.1b2?

Has the auto-refresh option been removed from Vanilla 2.1? I can't find it in Dashboard.

  • yes iirc , I think it was discussed in the forum before. you could maybe search for that discussion and it might have a work-around.

    I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.

  • Okay, so I understand the auto-refresh is turned off in 2.1 and we still don't know if it'll come back. That's a bummer.

    Is this also the reason why in 2.1b2 the ShwaipBot responses do not appear instantly after posting a "muffin man" message? In 2.0.18.9 the response appears in the browser immediately even if the auto-refresh is disabled.

    2.0.18 would do a new query for the current comment and any subsequent comments. In 2.1 it only returns 1 comment every time.

  • Well the way 2.0.18 is refreshing the comment list is very cool. It's one of the reasons I like Vanilla, because it makes the discussion more dynamic.

    It also murders the performance of large sites the way it is. :/

  • Basically anything that is polling the site constantly with multiple users leaving tabs open will Muller the site, unless they invest in some serious infrastructure. it is the same for self hosted basic ajax chatroom, etc.

    grep is your friend.

    Would it really hurt to get the updated comments on comment save? Or on preview? Or on draft save?

    Since you are already making the request, it would be nice to add in any updated comments.

    As it stands right now, I have to hit save draft and refresh the page to prevent cross posting.

    I would love to have a refresh on preview!
    I write my posts in new tabs, check in another tab if recent discussions shows a change and if yes, I open up a new browser, if no, I return to my tab with the post it and finally post my comment :\

    @hgtonight Yes, because we can't cache that query. Selecting 1 by key is fast. Caching the whole page of comments is fast. Selecting an arbitrary range, not fast.

    Actually it kills it with some serious infrastructure :D

    What i ment is infrastructure specifically optimised with this sort of thing. However the architecture has to match, websockets, etc.

    My (probably naive) solution to this would be to pull the entire discussion and make javascript do the sorting of what to actually show.

    @hgtonight That's actually possibly a solid solution. I'd kinda like to see this brought back too. I don't think it's in the cards for 2.1 at this point, but I'll make a note to see what Todd thinks about trying it in develop.
