[Pre-Release] Would anyone want/need this? (live serverfeed)

I honestly don't know what you mean. What exactly will cause the website to "hang effectively for several seconds before giving up".

Either you don't get how this works, or.. well, that's basically it.

I've had this run on a popular server for over 2 months, avarage online players 24/7 is about 100, the server was down for maintenance server times, etc etc etc. Never ever caused any problem, and I don't see why it would either.

I totally agree on this, I did write some stuff for multiple servers that would made the website a bit more interactive unlike the static stuff 99% of the websites have.

The last thing I was writing that was part of ingame was a live character status, with this I mean the status window that you have ingame on the website (with the backgrounds, buttons etc ). I never bothered finishing it though.

Also neither of those are implemented in this, so this is badly thought out as I said.

If the ajax times out it just won't populate data but it won't interfere with normal loading as it's an async request and does not block any other website functionality.

I think I get what you're describing (server db not being on website host and therefor the db connection timing out) but it's all easily handled in both the ajax request timeout (client side) and the php/mysql processing (server side)

good job

I think its great for a website, so others can see the activity before donwloading the client. its also funny to see your name on a site when u killed someone =p
when will you release this?

It's a really nice addon though and so far I haven't seen anyone have this, so why not.

any code released yet ? i am exited to know how it was implemented in the frontend side

Maybe this will not be released

Nice that you implemented it on a wow website, I'm getting ****** off when I see 'programmers' or 'web developers' using wow websites.

Spirited · 09/06/2013, 20:07

It seems like this is never going to be released, so I'm going to move this to the discussions section. "Pre-releases" that are just showcases will no longer be allowed in the releases section.

The website used for the video was just for sake of the demo, from what I can remember it's the site TriumphCO used.

I just love how you put programmer/web developer in quotation marks btw.

It's on my laptop and I cba booting it up.

First, This was not implemented on a WoW website, But on a flyff php based template, which can be seen

. And it's not triumphco one. It's mine. The conquer version of this template is not and won't be released.

Sorry, mixed it up with TriumphCO (which is a WoW template). The live serverfeed has nothing to do with the template what-so-ever, you can run it on a blank page if you so wish, I just grabbed a template quickly to get some styling onto it.

jQuery code (on top of my head, don't have it on this computer)

Code:

$(document).ready(function() {
  setInterval(function() {
	$.ajax({
		type:"POST",
		url:"/ajax/feed.php",
		dataType:"json",
		success:function(response) {
			if($("ul.feed li:first").html() != response)
			{
				$("ul.feed").prepend('<li>' + response + '</li>').find("li:first").hide().show("blind", {percent: 100}, 350);
				$("ul.feed li:last").remove();
			}
		});
    }, 2500);
});

Will fetch data from feed.php every 2.5 seconds, which should return the latest happening. If it's already the latest one, it won't update.

feed.php should just grab the latest object from a database template, and echo it out.
If you're implementing this, use MySqli.

Code:

//setup your connection
$item = mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM happenings ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 0,1"));
echo $item['content'];

HTML:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.3/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<ul class="feed">

</ul>

CSS:

Code:

.feed {
	height: 240px;
}
.feed li {
	padding: 12px;
	border-bottom: 1px solid #122;
	width: 90%;
	margin-left: 5px;
	color: #b19e7a;
}

Then the rest takes place in the source. At the event you wish to add to the database (such as loot a DB, login/logout etc) simply just add a row to the table, simple as that.
