Live Updates
Live Updates
This plugin/widget is to generate an area which you can update text from the admin area. The text will then change on the viewers screen without the page being refreshed by the viewer.
This we developed initially for use during live videos to put web addresses or other information into text so the user could access this info immediately and without loosing their place in the video.
Admin Section
Widget in the Sidebar
Version 1.0 is the first public release. Hopefully there aren’t too many bugs but any whic we do find will be addressed in point releases.
Version 2 is in progress and will feature multiple ’streams’ so you can have multiple areas updating on the same page (ie one under a video and one in the sidebar). Plus other features to be decided (leave a comment with a feature you would like, you might get it done!).
Donations
Donations are always appreciated. Its what helps pay the bills and keeps motivation up!



Hi, I’m gonna try your plugin, just saw it in the wp rss. That was exactly what I was looking for !
If I can already give you an idea of feature, it would be great to be able to type directly from the admin dashboard.
Thx

Thanks for the idea!

Gives error!
Warning: require_once(CHANGE_ME) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/ftpcricket/public_html/wp-content/plugins/live-updates/messages.php on line 43
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘CHANGE_ME’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/…/public_html/wp-content/plugins/live-updates/messages.php on line 43
Sorry, my mistake. I didn’t read the readme.
Hi,
There is a variable in the messages.php which needs changing.
If you open the file you should see it but if you get stuck let me know.
Regards
Glad your sorted!
I would love to use this plugin, but it seems it is conflicting with another plugin i use, this plugin is not working with ours.

Hi,
I see you have a different js framwork version running.
No guarentee but if you edit liveupdates.php, find the code which reads:
function liveupdates_headerjs () {echo "< script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"". WP_PLUGIN_URL ."/live-updates/jquery.js\">
< script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"". WP_PLUGIN_URL ."/live-updates/updater.js\">
";
}
and change it to read
function liveupdates_headerjs () {echo "< script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"". WP_PLUGIN_URL ."/live-updates/updater.js\"> ";
}
and it should work.
[edit] ive had to add some spaces to make it show up, please remove them in your code.[/edit]
