Refresh New Posts [Deleted]

[Mr. Jinx]

Mr. Jinx submitted a new resource:

Refresh New Posts - Refresh the New Posts page automatticaly

Refresh New Posts

This addon will make it possible to automatically refresh the "New Posts" page.
You can control the auto refresh time of new and recent posts.

Purpose
On my forum, users make heavy use of the New Posts page. For most of them, it is their starting point.
However, users cannot simply press F5 to refresh this page, because XenForo adds a number to the URL.
For example, users go to /find-new/posts and are redirected to...

I like this feature a lot but it gives me an error

I tried your add-on on our beta site which is located at
http://ourforum.org/forums/
but when the page refreshes I get a 404 error as the refresh points to
http://ourforum.org/find-new/posts

also when I change the refresh interval to 45 seconds on the new post page it keeps showing 60 seconds

Hope you can get me some help or fix the issue
thanks

Neither of these links show what you're talking about Nice ocean animation though

"ourforum'org" was just a replacement for our real domain.
What I was trying to say is our forum is located in the folder "forums" but when the add-on wants to refresh the page it doesn't search in the "forum" folder but in the root folder (the domain name) instead

[Mr. Jinx]

Thanks for the feedback MDK. I tested this on my own forum, which is installed in root, so I forgot to take care of other installations.
Should be fixed now

@Mr. Jinx Thanks for this useful add on

 

[KhanTastic]

Thank you so much, I am going to try on my forum which I just installed today

It would be nice if there would be a usergroup permission, so that I can turn off refresh for guests and increase refresh rate for members with an account upgrade.

Also: AJAX....

Thanks a lot for this plugin. It works fine.

But how it is possible to remove (this page automatically refreshes every 60 seconds) message. In multi language forum it does not look nice. It would be better without this message

Is it not phrased so you can't translate it from ACP?

With permissions this would be almost perfect addon.

 

[Mr. Jinx]

Yeah, it is phrased, so go to your admin panel > Appereance > Search Phrases and select your language.
Then search title: RefreshNewPosts_Refresh and RefreshNewPosts_Seconds and translate.

To disable the message completely go to Appereance > Template Modifications
Disable find_new_post (Add auto refresh text) and find_new_posts_none (Add auto refresh text)

ps: I will look at permissions when I have some time left.

Nice work!! Really appreciated.

My userbase revolted against this.
Many of them use the New Posts page as an 'anchor', loading threads/posts of interest in a new tab. Going to the 2nd and subsequent page of New Post, and of course the refresh causes them all sorts of issues.

 

[Mystinen Metsätyömies]

After the permission settings this addon is just great! I use it with [TH] Join User Group so the users can switch it on/off when they want. Hooray!

It reads like this would be an issue for many of my members as well. Does the second page also refresh? If so then that would prevent members from using new-posts as an anchor. It would be nice to have a function to allow members to do both: enjoy auto-refresh or use it as an anchor.
Maybe a toggle button to turn the refresh on/off.
Or only affect the first page so that it grows larger, while keeping the other pages the same.
