Ajaxy/asynch automatic refresh for all users?

[fguillot]

I already think about that, but I just started to explore different approach to refresh the boards for multiple users in the same time. I'm looking for a technology simple to setup and reliable.

By example, it can be:

• A stupid ajax polling than check the board every 30 seconds (works everywhere but not efficient)
• Use server-side events javascript api (I didn't test with PHP, not sure if it's reliable)
• Use websockets (need a separate program and require more configuration on the server)

The process is simple, when someone move a task, every connected users get a notification to refresh their board. And the client refresh only the necessary parts.

I will be done, sure because I also don't like to refresh manually the board :)

It's implemented in the development version.

I choose the Ajax polling version, every 10 seconds the board is updated when necessary. So if you open 2 different browsers on the same board and move a task, you should see the change inside the other window.

The board status is checked only if the tab is visible and only the board is updated not the whole page.
