No meta http-equiv=refresh with other cacti plugin

[iNeo]

Hi,

I want to refresh a page within the plugin framework. When looking at the graphs, this is done with a meta http-equiv.

Revering to http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?t=36823 I am looking for a solution. How can the meta-equiv=refresh be added to other plugins?

As far as I can find only the Graphs plugin has this ability.

Clog does it.

When a plugin is using for a view 'include/top_graph_header.php' the Hook is 'top_graph_refresh' if you do not find it in the setup of the plugin, you coulld add it. .....

When a plugin is using for a view 'include/top_header.php' there is no Hook but you have only to add ( before include_once("./include/top_header.php"); )
$refresh["seconds"] = "123";
$refresh["page"]= "url" or "";

But pay attention when you are changing it in a edit view. After the refresh you could have to reinsert your data.

We don't hook top_header with the refresh. It's a bad practice. Several plugins now include their own 'general_header.php' that can include whatever you want them to include. You can borrow from: clog, macktrack, thold, hmib, nectar, ....
