Is there any Jugaad to Realtime Posts

1Dot

Hello, Is there any Jugaad to Realtime Posts I mean that like when someone posts the pusher shows it in Realtime without reloading but when we reply the same post once again all the replies are shown means here it internally reloaded without touching browser and old posts content, So is it possible to internally reload posts/discussions. when user hovers mouse here and there? Or after particular time interval. or either we can detect that if there is new post then reload.

FAQ 😅

What does Jugaad mean?

Which refers to a non-conventional, frugal innovation, often termed a "hack".
According to the dictionary, noun Jugaad means a flexible approach to solve a problem, that uses limited resources in an innovative way.

Note : If I will be able to achieve this Jugaad Pusher, So I will release it here for ABSOLUTELY FREE 😄.

You are looking for the term "polling". Which means an ajax/xhr request is fired at a set interval.

luceos So how to do that and reload post without touching old posts and without triggering browser reload. I think I have to do the same when we post something! So it doesn't even trigger reload and touch old posts but I don't know what is that something can you help me which function to execute in every interval.

Do you have any Jugaad which triggers browser tab reload on every new click?

1Dot

xasharma Yes I can achieve that but why you want that?

For AdSense 😅 .... malago/flarum-ads is showing the ads for one time only when opening the homepage and when I open any discussion and comes back to the homepage it doesn't show any ad anywhere.

I have tried if we forcefully load the page from the browser it works well for header and footer ads only

Ramesh Dada Tell na bro ... I have only $40 at present ... if anyone other wants to contribute or donate to sponsor this extension with some more features can also do. Should I open a new discussion for this? Can someone do this work for this little amount of money?

And please tell me how to achieve the browser tab load on every click until this extension is fixed.

1Dot

xasharma Yes I can work on this but It will be useless, maybe you can make a new discussion and ask for someone to do PR to malago/ads maybe ianm can help?

Hello, devs I seen that whenever I post something in a discussion without any type of pusher and all that and someone goes to that discussion after my post and replies me so as I am not having pusher I am unable to see that post, So what I did is I posted again to that discussion so I found the thing happened here is I was able to see the post of other user so here it refreshed without touching browser window and without touching old posts just shown the new post to me, So please can anyone let me know how can I run this function every second?

The idea is that you will need to extend each component where you want "auto updating" to happen. On each of these components during init you will need to create a setInterval function that calls the specific method of that component to update the content. As an example, DiscussionPage has the load method that would need to be called repeatedly.

There are a few considerations though, for instance the DiscussionPage might be at the top; loading posts from the backend with that method will probably just refresh those posts in view. In addition you could possibly simplify the logic for checking for new posts when you are at the end of the Posts list by hitting the endpoint for the discussion, see what the lastPost id is and if they don't match with the one currently loaded in the frontend, do a refresh.

These are just some thoughts; my approach (which is very inefficient) is to try some things out; see what works.

luceos loaded in the frontend, do a refresh.

which function i can use to refresh ?

rafaucau

1Dot Just call:

app.discussions.refresh()

1Dot

rafaucau Super Ultra Thank You so much for replying but it will refresh discussion list I want to just show latest post and I don't want to touch old posts. as per the luceos sir said I want to check something if post id matches and then do a refresh if not matches.

rafaucau

1Dot Ahh, posts. You can do similar to the pusher: https://github.com/flarum/pusher/blob/master/js/src/forum/index.js#L124

extend(DiscussionPage.prototype, 'oncreate', function() {
  //Your code

  app.store.find('discussions', this.discussion.id()).then(() => {
    this.stream.update();
  })
})

Or app.current.get('stream').update() if you want to use it outside extend

1Dot

rafaucau Thanks I will try as it seems too hard for me

1Dot

rafaucau One last thing is the below correct?

extend(DiscussionPage.prototype, 'oncreate', function() {
setInterval(function(){
app.current.get('stream').update()
}, 1000);
})

Will it execute every second??

rafaucau

1Dot Will it execute every second??

Yes

It should be something like this:

extend(DiscussionPage.prototype, 'oncreate', function() {
    setInterval(()=> {
      app.store.find('discussions', this.discussion.id()).then(() => {
        this.stream.update();
      })
    }, 1000);
})

Or:

setInterval(()=> {
  app.store.find('discussions', app.current.get('discussion').id()).then(() => {
    app.current.get('stream').update()
  })
}, 1000);

rafaucau SUPER ULTRA PRO THANK YOU SO MUCH!

1Dot

rafaucau But The 1st example will not work maybe as how it will get that there is a new post and I have to update now! I just compiled the extension I will try it and let you know here!

Edit

Yes I was true it doesn't works It doesn't refreshes posts in realtime!

Now I tried too many things and I found that it works whenever someone posts but I want it to work whenever someone scroll or move mouse here and there!!

Edit after 2 hours

Thank you so much rafaucau I completed this, all i need to change is discussion to post stream as I want posts in realtime!! See here https://discuss.flarum.org/d/28069
