Automate Discussion Updates for Pusher

KARAM_SIDHU

Hello everyone,
Do anyone knows a method to push discussions, replies etc in realtime without the need to call the Update Discussion function by Pusher?

Currently - by default, If there is a new discussion on site, Pusher would prompt a message of 1 Updated Discussion which would then require a click/tap in order for it to appear. So, rather than there is a need to click/tap on the prompt, the activity gets updated in realtime whenever it occurs.

So, if possible, i am looking forward for a method within flarum's recommended practices to modify/add code to get it automatically updated in realtime and eliminate the default function as well as the prompt as it wouldn't be required if its function itself could be automated.

Any idea on implementation?

What is your use case ?

The notification + refresh button is there for a reason. If the discussion list updates in real time, the user can end up clicking the wrong links if it updates right as they move their cursor on a link. You would probably need some code to listen for user interaction and delay the update anyway.

There is an extension that shows the message and automatically refreshed the list with a countdown. It don't remember where this is implemented exactly. I don't think it's in the Pusher extension. It might be the Realtime extension.

clarkwinkelmann It might be the Realtime extension.

Yes realtime does that, on volatile communities the constant updates made it impossible to interact with the index otherwise.

Discuss has this too as it uses Realtime.

luceos @clarkwinkelmann i don't utilise the realtime extension, only Pusher.

This is what i meant:

Whenever a new participation related activity gets into my flarum, this prompt would appear for a click/tap to get the activity such as new discussion, replies etc reflect on site. So i'm trying to get this automated where the user would no longer require to click/tap as it would get updated by itself without the need to interact with this option.
