Auto refresh on home page

[eric]

There is no auto-refresh of the home page, which is quite annoying.

Here are the instructions to add one:

• edit the file egroupware/home/index.php

• add this: ‘reload’ => True

• after the line ‘include_xajax’ => True

• So the whole array will become like this:

$GLOBALS[‘egw_info’] = array(
‘flags’ => array(
‘noheader’ => False,
‘nonavbar’ => False,
‘currentapp’ => ‘home’,
‘enable_network_class’ => False,
‘enable_contacts_class’ => False,
‘enable_nextmatchs_class’ => False,
‘include_xajax’ => True,
‘reload’ => True
)
);

• Save the index.php file.

• edit the header.inc.php file in the egroupware directory, and add after the nocachecontrol block:

if(!isset($GLOBALS[‘egw_info’][‘flags’][‘nocachecontrol’]) || !$GLOBALS[‘egw_info’][‘flags’][‘nocachecontrol’])
{
header(‘Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate’); // HTTP/1.1
header(‘Pragma: no-cache’); // HTTP/1.0
}
else
{
// allow caching by browser
session_cache_limiter(‘private_no_expire’);
}

• this:

if(isset($GLOBALS[‘egw_info’][‘flags’][‘reload’]))
{
header(‘refresh: 60’); //reload every minute
}

• So the whole area looks like this:

if(!isset($GLOBALS[‘egw_info’][‘flags’][‘nocachecontrol’]) || !$GLOBALS[‘egw_info’][‘flags’][‘nocachecontrol’])
{
header(‘Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate’); // HTTP/1.1
header(‘Pragma: no-cache’); // HTTP/1.0
}
else
{
// allow caching by browser
session_cache_limiter(‘private_no_expire’);
}

if(isset($GLOBALS[‘egw_info’][‘flags’][‘reload’]))
{
header(‘refresh: 60’); //reload every minute
}

• Save file, and your done! ONLY the home page is now refreshed every 60 seconds.
