Live field value

  • This might be a daft question, is there a way to display a live value on a page.

    For example I have the field ‘status’, is there a way of displaying the live value without refreshing the page. So if a user updates this on the back end, the front end user sees the updated value without refreshing the page.

    Alternatively if not possible and someone updates a specific field it forces a refresh on the front end.

    Hope this makes sense, and any pointers greatly appreciated.

  • You would have to use custom JavaScrpt and build your own AJAX function that continuously check the value and did the update.

    There is no other way to detect a value has changed.

    It is impossible to force a user’s browser to refresh from the server.

  • Thanks John, I thought this was the case, I just didn’t want to spend time coding something, if this functionality exists it some form.
