Metering down the requests based on “lack of change from last request” is somewhat arbitrary and of doubtful usefulness. It all depends on your application I suppose, but a better metric would be USER ACTIVITY ON THE CLIENT SIDE – if no user there, then no need to poll quite as often,,.Used

Hi everybody!

I’d like to define two different periodicalUpdater inside one web page, but the second one overwrite the first one. I tried to put them in two different js functions but it still doesn’t work.

Does anybody have any idea?

Thx.

Anthony.

Sure it can be done =)...I use it like this on a site (radio) which needs to update the currently playing track, the intervals have to become shorter and shorter to achieve this in the way I want...so I modified the source a bit...

first you need to comment out the following line:

// settings.multiplier = settings.multiplier < 1 ? 1:settings.multiplier;

this sets the multiper back to 1 if it's smaller than 1...we don't want that =)

not sure about that (see the original code to verify), but I think I changed something in here too:

if (timerInterval > settings.maxTimeout)
{
timerInterval = timerInterval * settings.multiplier;
}

if(timerInterval < settings.maxTimeout)
{
timerInterval = settings.maxTimeout;
}

I initialize it like this:

$.PeriodicalUpdater({
url: 'assets/load/load_ap.front.php',
method: 'post',
minTimeout: 80000,
maxTimeout: 30000,
multiplier: '0.75'
...and so on...

How can I use multiple instances of this plugin? I mean I want to have a periodical updater of 2 different divs' with two different sources.
Thank you! That's super!

Alas, Mobile Safari does not support JSON.parse, so if you want to use PeriodicalUpdater on an iPhone/iPod Touch, you need a workaround. jQuery 1.4.1 supports jQuery.paseJSON, so I changed line 126 of jquery.periodicalupdater.js to read:

remoteData = jQuery.parseJSON(remoteData);

how do you make this work with multiple log files and multiple #result id's? ie #result_1, #result_2 etc and multiple log files: /etc/httpd/logs/access.log, /etc/httpd/logs/error.log
