JavaScript - Rssdisplayer.js Not Updating, Auto-refresh?
A noob needs some help.
I'm using a combination of Yahoo Pipes and rssdisplayer.js to display some snippets from several RSS feeds on a new site I'm building. The trouble I'm having is that (i) the feeds don't update when I refresh the page, I think because a cached version of the page is being loaded, and (ii) I'd like to have the div containing the feeds auto-refresh at a given time interval. I've got a Twitter javascript working that does both these things, but can't work out how to get the rssdisplayer.js working this way. The rssdisplayer code is: Code: google.load("feeds", "1") //Load Google Ajax Feed API (version 1)
function rssdisplayer(divid, url, feedlimit, showoptions){
this.showoptions=showoptions || "" //get string of options to show ("date" and/or "description")
var feedpointer=new google.feeds.Feed(url) //create new instance of Google Ajax Feed API
feedpointer.setNumEntries(feedlimit) //set number of items to display
document.write('<div id="'+divid+'">Loading feed...</div>')
this.feedcontainer=document.getElementById(divid)
var displayer=this
feedpointer.load(function(r){displayer.formatoutput(r)}) //call Feed.load() to retrieve and output RSS feed
}
rssdisplayer.prototype.formatdate=function(datestr){
var itemdate=new Date(datestr)
return "<span style='color:gray; font-size: 90%'>"+itemdate.toLocaleString()+"</span>"
}
rssdisplayer.prototype.formatoutput=function(result){
if (!result.error){ //if RSS feed successfully fetched
var thefeeds=result.feed.entries //get all feed entries as a JSON array
var rssoutput="<ul>"
for (var i=0; i<thefeeds.length; i++){ //loop through entries
var itemtitle="<a href=\"" + thefeeds[i].link + "\">" + thefeeds[i].title + "</a>"
var itemdate=/date/i.test(this.showoptions)? this.formatdate(thefeeds[i].publishedDate) : ""
var itemdescription=/description/i.test(this.showoptions)? "<br />"+thefeeds[i].content : ""
rssoutput+="<li>" + itemtitle + " " + itemdate + itemdescription + "</li>"
}
rssoutput+="</ul>"
this.feedcontainer.innerHTML=rssoutput
}
else //else, output error
alert("Error fetching feeds: "+result.error.message)
}
//USAGE SYNTAX: new rssdisplayer("divid", "rssurl", numberofitems, "displayoptions")
//new rssdisplayer("adiv", "http://www.cssdrive.com/index.php/news/rss_2.0/", 5, "date, description")
Similar TutorialsI am fairly new to JS so please have patenience with me. What I am codeing is essentialy some digital signaage for my office. I will have a calender that updates through several screens with information in them. The basic page stays the same but the content is loaded into a large iframe in the center of the page and each html file loaded into the iframe is changed using meta tags. This is a touch screen so I want control along the bottom of the screen. I have did this very crudely with css and html. But I would like to refine it a little more with javascript. I want javascript to control the content of the iframe and javascript to control the buttons along the bottom to manual switch to a diffferent screen along with a button that stops the auto reloading of the page. Here is where I am so far. I have the javascript to automatilly change the iframe src but I need help with the nav buttons and the stop button. Right now the nav buttons are still using the regular <a> tags targeting the iframe. Code: <html lang="en">

I've a web page when a user logs in, it will have a link that shows the "username" and a link for "logout". After the user logs out, the "username" and the "logout" links will change to "login" and "register" links, respectively. The page uses javascript to check a user cookie, if the user cookie exists, it will show the "username" link and the link for "logout". If no user cookie exists, "login" and "register" links will replace the "username" and "logout" links. Here's the problem: When a user who has log in, clicks the "logout" link, a perl script will delete the user cookie, and redirects back to the same page. The page does not show "login" and "register" links AUTOMATICALLY. Both links will appear ONLY after the user MANUALLY Refreshes the page. It appears that I need a system to refresh the page automacally ONLY one time. How can this be done? I currently have this on my companies website and it's having a bit of trouble sometimes where it will only work after a refresh. Is it possible to do a refresh of this div and script as soon as the site loads, instead of using the auto refresh. I tried using auto refresh and it works but whatever time interval I put for the auto refresh is the time that the script pops up, so it kind of just makes it worst. Code: <script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#twitter").getTwitter({
userName: "lubellrosen",
numTweets: 4,
loaderText: "Loading Events...",
slideIn: true,
slideDuration: 750,
showHeading: false,
headingText: "Latest Tweets",
showProfileLink: false,
showTimestamp: false
});
});
</script>

do i need to apply setInterval on the marker? how to apply it on the marker so it refresh every X second... please help for the solution.... I have a web page that loads and Auto scrolls to the end. I need to either auto scroll up, or when it reaches the bottom auto refreshes back to the top. I have had to define a length longer than the document or I get scroll bars and the Iframe won't scroll. Here is the code. [Code] <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript" ></script> <title>How to Scroll the Page With JavaScript</title> <meta name="description" content="How to scroll the page automatically using JavaScript." /> <meta name="keywords" content="javascript, page, scroll" /> <script type="text/javascript"> function pageScroll() { window.scrollBy(0,25); scrolldelay = setTimeout('pageScroll()',5000); // scrolls every 1000 milliseconds } </script> </head> <iframe src="file:///D:/PrivateDocs/WorkflowPage/Stinkyxml.htm" name="frame1" scrolling="auto" frameborder="no" style="float:left" height="4500" width="100%"> <body onLoad="pageScroll()"></body> </iframe> <body> <body onLoad="pageScroll()"></body> </body> </html> [icode] If you go to a Youtube video by Justin Bieber or Rebecca Black, comments are constantly being posted and it seems like the autorefresh for the comments kicks in every half second. I don't plan on having millions of users viewing my page, but still, wouldn't having every user make a [mysql] request to the server every half second really take a toll on the server (especially since I don't plan to ever have the resources that Youtube has)? Facebook also seems to have instantaneous auto-refreshes, be it in comment boxes or their chat interface. So what would be the best method to implement a near-instantaneous autorefresh system with minimal resource usage? I'm using meta refresh to refresh my web page. I have a small compose email window that appears via ajax when the user clicks on a name. Is there a way I can disable the screen refresh in my ajax code while they are composing their message? Hey helpful people. I'm looking for a better solution to refreshing a page of mine, which currently single page (no frames) using meta refresh. To convert it something where it (using frames) would either: a. keep trying to refresh untill a var is recieved from the content, or b. present the browser with a button to refresh and a message that loading failed. But honestly i am a noob at javascript, to an extend i dont have much idea where to start on such a project. but learned this is not possible with regular html that is widely supported anyways. i suspect the:.. window.xx.location='url' ..is useful in this regard, but other than that i am blank on where to start. Any help is appresiated. Thanks in advance Jilli Hello, I am fairly new to Javascript, but so far I have managed to have the page auto scroll when you browse. I was also able to get a button that toggles the start/stop of the scrolling. What I need to happen is when the scrolling reaches the bottom of the screen, I need it to refresh. Is this possible? Thank you in advance!!! Most of the Javascript I see has some sort of time limit on page reload and is not really what I am trying to accomplish: Code: <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="10; URL=http://coffeeandtealtd.com/buynow.html" /> I am trying to make our buy page reload after clicking the Paypal "continue shopping" button in Paypal Website Standards. The pop up Paypal shopping cart window closes after clicking the button but our buy page doesn't reload. It doesn't reload in Safari although it seems to be fine in FF and IE. I am new to javascript coding and am not quite sure how to make the page reload in this specific instance only. Any sug's?? I'm attaching my php test file but this is a JS problem. When I scroll down in the web page and the meta refresh hits, in Windows Safari and IE6/7/8 browsers, the web page re-positions back to the top. In Opera and FF the page refreshes but it stays where it is. Can someone look at my test script and see why it is not working in IE and Win Safari? My goal is to have the web page not re-position to the top on the auto refresh. Thanks... I have a php file lets say file1.php, that printing a variable, its dynamic numbers output that already always increasing, like private message numbers that coming or others : PHP Code: <?php echo $variable ?> i want to put that variable output, in another files page title, lets say file2.php or file3.html, in the front of the another files page titles, and auto refresh every x seconds, maybe like this : Quote: (1) - another text in the page title after x seconds, get a private message Quote: (2) - another text in the page title after another x seconds, get another private message Quote: (3) - another text in the page title or its ok if just like this, only the variable, without the another text in the page title Quote: (1) please share your knowledge to make it, maybe using javascript, jquery or others Hi, I noticed that RSS Feed entries are linked to their source when using rssdisplayer.js (see "A robust RSS Feed displayer" in Javascriptkit.com). Can anyone show me how to link the the source url provided in the feed to something different, like linkTarget_blank. The option takes a string and will be used to specify the link target of the image. Please PM the modified rssdisplayer.js script. I really need your help guys. Thanks Bastos The rssdisplayer.js code works well enough, however, clicking on the generated rss news link updates the current html page with the feed. Not a good idea since I don't want people leaving my website. So, the script that builds the href link looks like this: var itemtitle="<a href=\"" + thefeeds[i].link + "\">" + thefeeds[i].title + "</a>" I want to add target="_blank" for obvious reasons. Can anyone tell me how to do this? I'm using JavaScript (rssplayer.js) to display a feed from a Blogger blog. I want the feed to be displayed as plain text without the hyperlink to the original posts. Does anyone know how to do this?

Hi, I have the below code: Code: <script type="text/javascript">
function loadQuickMessageCheck(File,ID){
var xmlhttp;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
}
else {
xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
}
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function(){
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200){
document.getElementById(ID).innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
eucalyptus = setInterval(function(){loadQuickMessageCheck(File,ID)},20000);
}
}
xmlhttp.open("POST",File,true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
</script>
But I am overloading the server and crashing it. I've googled the issue and have found people with similar problems who talk about the need to cancel the last refresh request before they send the next refresh. I even found this nice piece of code which worked for someone else. Quote: try{window.clearTimeout(tRefresh)} catch(err) {} tRefresh = setInterval(setContext, varInterval*60*1000); } I am not sure if this is the solution that I am looking for but if it is all my attempts at applying this code has been a bit of a disaster. |
