Reply "Collision detection"

Since our Super Users asked for it I cobbled together this widget. It's not perfect, but it seems to be working. I asked Lithium to add a custom field for messages, so I can save a state of who is c...

Hi! :-) thanks for sharing this. It's been one of our popular demands so we may use your code and test it out. It might come in handy specifically for expert days where we have many folks responding to customer question in the same time so chances of someone responding to a message that someone else is already working on, increases.

 

Just a quick question. Am I supposed to gather anything from your screenshot? I am not exactly sure what I am supposed to see or what should trigger me.

 

Thanks!
Wendy

    Hi Wendy_S it's very subtle, I'll admit. If you look at the top, I logged in and hit reply on a topic. Then I also logged in with a different account and hit reply. Now, as that other user, I see that user Per hit reply 10 seconds ago.

      I see it now. It was well "hidden" for me. It's because the username was so short :)

      Hi PerBonomi,

       

      In your component code, you are calling the POST call to clear fields on mouseenter. It might possible, the page redirect (on button click) can happen before success of post call since both activities are asynchronous. This is why custom field is not clearing and displaying the user details on the other user page eventhough user not replying.

      Call the post call on submit and wait untill endpoint returns success. Then perform form default action. This way the data for sure will get clear from custom field.

      Example code:

      $('input.lia-button-Submit-action, input.lia-button-Cancel-action').bind('click', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var formEle = $(this).parents().find('.MessageEditorForm');
$.post('Endpoint URL?id=${msg_id}',function(){
$(formEle).submit();
});
});

      Hope this helps!

       

      Thanks,

      Phani

        Thanks Phan I, but wouldn't that code also try to submit the post if the
        user clicks cancel?
        Perhaps split the function and make cancel redirect to the previous page?
