get latest posts without refreshing the page.

Question

Hi,&nbsp;Please go through the following scenario :Suppose, users A,B, and C are logged in to community. They are on same page.(let us assume, they are on ForumTopicPage). Now,user A and B posted something on that page. At that time, user C will not be able to see their posts until he refresh that page.&nbsp;My requirement is, user C should be able to see posts of user A and B without refreshing the page.I think, we have to use Ajax call.Is there any OOB functionality to achieve this.Need your suggetions.If you have any other approach for this then please mention it.&nbsp;Thanks,Vishwajeet.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

vishwajeet_hol&nbsp;- Though there is no way other than using Ajax to get the updated content on page, so what you can do is check the count of the posts inside the board "ForumTopicPage" and keep it checking with a thread at the background.&nbsp;A script will check the count every X minutes, if the count is updated, it will fetch the updated content via Ajax.&nbsp;Count API:&nbsp;http://community.lithium.com/restapi/vc/boards/id/studio/posts/count&nbsp;Current result =&nbsp;7397&nbsp;If after X minutes, the count is same, it wont make a call for the updated content, if the count is now&nbsp;7398,&nbsp;it will make the update request via Ajax.&nbsp;http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4930439/call-jquery-ajax-request-each-x-minutes&nbsp;I hope this helps.

Hi Alok,What if there is any change in body of topic. So there will be loss of data. So can we consider LastUpdateDate instead of replied cout.Also this approach will need total customized widget.Can we provide data to OOB or can we include OOB component after particular time period.Regards,Dhiraj

Yes, that could be an option as well. Regarding having an OOTB component, No.
