Refresh Slide every time it loads

    Hi there,

    we are planing to install displays in different stores and we are trying this plugin. It seems to be very simple to use.
    We also want to provide train schedules (e.g. next train arrives in 3 minutes) which are provided by the local transport company on their website. But this only makes sense if the slide with this information will be refreshed everytime it loads. Otherwise the information could be outdated.
    Is there a solution that a certain slide will refresh every time it appears?

    regards
    YUK

    Hi @datsyuk, interesting use case! Foyer does not have a feature to refresh a slide every time it appears. I would approach it from the other side: Make sure the widget that displays the train schedules (or any other info that should always be fresh) refreshes its content periodically (e.g. every minute, using AJAX to pull in some info and display it within the widget replacing the old info, so without reloading the page as a whole). You would need a web developer to build a widget like that though, or similar skills of your own.

    Hope this helps!

    Hello Menno,

    thanks for the reply and the explanation.
    I found a solution without any programming skills:
    – I created a own webpage with the content I need using the plugin “Advanced iFrame”
    – I used the Plugin “Head, Footer and Post Injections” to put some code on the site to refresh it every 20 second:
    <meta http-equiv=”refresh” content=”20″>

    It seems to be working fine for my purpose.

    Best regards
