Force Reload on Update

  • I was wondering if anyone knew about this…

    Is anyway if i have a post and while someone is reading i write something new and update the post, the page will force reload. Is any plugin like that around?

    Maybe any ajax plugin for this?

    Thnx in advance…

  • It isn’t possible to reload their browser but you could have an ajax call that periodically checks for updated content. But that sounds like a huge waste of resources for such an unlikely event.

    Would it be a good idea to begin with, to reload the page while someone is reading?

    Maybe this will explain better, some context. Its gonna be a page with an embed live streaming video of an event. When that streaming is over a new one will replace that one for a live streaming video of a forum discussion for the video that was already played.

    Maybe, someone have a better idea. I was suggested to reload the page and replace 1 feed for the other.

    My first idea is or was simple. Make a timer <meta> reload of 900ss, BAM, problem solve. But the problem is, the 1st live feed doesn’t have an specific time to cut and predict how many seconds i will need. So i tough, “hell some ajax”. But im not sure anymore.

    Like always, i end up here for suggestions. ??

    thnx guys…
