Live Update 4.0.1

[Markos]

Personally, i prefer the FB implementation...Sometimes the number "ruins" the favicon and generally it's difficult to read the number of notification...There a way to use the FB System? I mean the number (1) in the title...(@Chris D)

Chris D updated Live Update with a new update entry:

Guest conditional plus minified JS

This update simply resolves an issue whereby the JS would run even for guests, where it is not necessary.

Also, the JS is minified by default now.

Read the rest of this update entry...

I'll look at it in the future. The favicon script that's used here may be able to do that, but I will need to go through its code to remind me.

 

[Markos]

Thank you! You have said this to me in the past:

It does that if the browser doesn't support a dynamic fav icon.

So i thought it's not difficult to add this feature...

 

[Chris D]

Yeah it might be possible. I'll let you know.

 

[Markos]

Thank you Chris D...you're awesome!

@Naatan should the js folder be "liveupdate" or "live-update"? In the last version it had a dash. In this update, it doesn't. Help!

EDIT: This should be addressed to @Chris D I think?

 

[Chris D]

It was changed a long time ago.

Should be "liveupdate".

As it pertains to server and/or site loading, is there any difference in the interval time setting? Do you guys recommend a certain time?

@Chris D You should update the add-on landing page to remove the options --> performance setting since the options aren't in there but their own setting.

Mine is set to 60.
15 to 30 seconds is good for a very active forum.

WBB 4.1 makes this as Default Feature

This doesn't go well if your ico is animated. It stops being animated when there is alert icon on FF 30.

I don't know about other browsers but Firefox caches the favicon with the red indicator in your bookmarks! Any way to prevent that?

 

[Chris D]

Unfortunately not.

Technically it's the correct behaviour. The add-on changes the favicon, and browsers cache the favicon.

Sorry for not wanting to read through 14 pages. However, how is this on server resources?

 

[Chris D]

One AJAX request every X seconds per logged in iuser.

So overall it's actually fine on server resources.

Technically could reduce them as they no longer have to refresh the page to check for alerts.

@Chris D Is there a way to get this working with IE 11?
It works in every browser except IE 11(Desktop version)

 

[Chris D]

In what way doesn't it work?

 

[Cambion]

In what way doesn't it work?

It doesn't put the alert in my favicon.

 

[Chris D]

Unfortunately this seems to be a limitation of IE11.

However I don't think it shows the text in the title either.

I'll look into it when I'm nearby a windows box.
