[SOLVED] Modify (or disable) page auto-refresh

[cbarry]

Hi All,

I'm using Howie's SuperLinks, and that's how I noticed it. When I'm out on another page through SuperLinks, Cacti will auto-refresh every so many minutes. When you've got graphs up, this is actually a Good Thing, but when you're editing a wiki, and it refreshes, it ends up back at the start page of the wiki, and all of your edits are lost.

Is there a switch somewhere to turn this refreshing off?


Thanks,

That would be a feature request for the SuperLinks plugin. Even if it sounds simple, it will turn out to be difficult as I'm sure that Howie uses the default function call to creat the HTML header stuff ...

Thanks for the reply.

Are you saying having different refresh rates would be difficult, or changing the refresh rate globally for cacti would be difficult? I'm amenable to completely disabling auto-refresh for the cacti app - it has a button, after all.

Any clues on what to change in the code? I changed a variable in globals.php named page_refresh (was 300, set it 3000000000) but it has not changed behavior (although I have not bounced apache, if that's needed)

Thanks,

there is a hook for that in plugin architecture
it is "UNDER TESTING"
i have tested it with my plugin manage (because when i'm in a cycle, the page is refreshed and my cycle stop) but it didn't work
i think cycle plugin have the same bug

gandalf's right, I use the standard Cacti page heads - there are two though, one for console pages (with the menu) and one for graph pages (without).

I've just added a little code to superlinks/setup.php and it seems to work for me:

Code: Select all

// in plugin_init_superlinks():
$plugin_hooks['top_graph_refresh']['superlinks'] = 'superlinks_graph_refresh';



function superlinks_graph_refresh()
{
        return '';
}

I can't think of many situations where the refresh is a Good Thing for superlinks pages, so that will probably be in the next release as default.

Thanks Howie!

That did it.

Hi all,

old post but same problem

I've found this code in setup.php :

function superlinks_graph_refresh ($current) {
if (preg_match('/superlinks.php\?id=(\d+)/', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], $matches)) return '';
return $current;
}

This function allow to not refresh the page? Because my page always refresh...

Thank you for your help,


Vince
