views_autorefresh broken in D7

Yes, it hasn't been ported jet, that's why the 7 branch doesn't show in the project page.

OK ;-)

subscribing (I have the same isssue -- and waiting for the port)

Maybe views_autorefresh could be done with jquery spy plugin to update/ add new content at the top/ bottom (with slide effect)? I dont't know if views hack (D6) refresh the hole view or update it like spy. It would be a great feature.

i tried downloading the module and trying to update to D7 to no avail. for ref i changed

$query_string = drupal_query_string_encode($_REQUEST, array_merge(array('q', 'pass'), array_keys($_COOKIE)));

to

$query_string = drupal_http_build_query(drupal_get_query_parameters($_REQUEST, array_merge(array('q', 'pass'), array_keys($_COOKIE))));

as per http://drupal.org/update/modules/6/7#get_querystring

it gets rid of the errors mentioned above, but when i set up the view with AJAX switched on and the refresh code in the header, nothing happens.

to get the script somewhat working I changed

Drupal.behaviors.views_autorefresh = function(context) {

to

Drupal.behaviors.views_autorefresh = {
attach: function(context, settings){

and added an extra } before })(jQuery);

The js tries to refresh but I get an error:

Drupal.Views.Ajax is undefined line 63

this error could be related to:
http://drupal.org/node/914360

as it doesnt seem like this function is present in the D7 views js

Could you give an export for this specific use case so i can test a port to D7 and eventually commit?

Looking for this for a project as well...any idea on a port to D7?

An AJAX HTTP error occurred.
HTTP Result Code: 500
Debugging information follows.
Path: /drupal/admin/structure/views/view/frontpage/preview/page/ajax
StatusText: Internal Server Error
ResponseText:

Enabled the new D7 Dev ports...here is my errors...Picture is on the views page when configuring and saving, and the WSOD Fatal error.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function drupal_query_string_encode() in /home/hillsdal/public_html/drupal/sites/all/modules/views_hacks/views_autorefresh/views_autorefresh.module on line 20

I suggest to keep the title of the error , when i search for this in issue cases i didn't get this,
What we generally do is search the issue in titles or search with key word in bothe the cases we dont get this title.

I also have the same issue

PS :here is the error code i am getting in my view settings page

Subscribe. Can I offer a bounty to get this resolved? ;)

New D7 dev version no longer has errors when you add the autorefresh code to Views Header, however, the view doesn't actually refresh.

Steps..

1) Turn on AJAX for view
2) Add Text Header PHP...

"

$interval = 5000; // 5000 msec = 5 sec
print theme('views_autorefresh', $interval);

"

3) Check box to display even with no result

4) Active view doesn't refresh.

Thoughts?

Already tried removing tags, but that just makes the code display in the header. Plus, Views Header states you need tags at the bottom.

Like mentor972 said, just nothing happens. Probably it is some how related with that inside views_autorefresh.js there is lines:

                    if (response.__callbacks) {
                      $.each(response.__callbacks, function(i, callback) {
                        eval(callback)(target, response);
                      });
                    }

And there is not property _callback... so nothing happens. Ajax response returns command objects, that we should invoke some how, i tried something like:

                    if (response) {
                        $.each(response, function(i, callback) {
                        var test = new Drupal.ajax();
                            Drupal.ajax.prototype.commands.invoke(Drupal.ajax, response[i], '');
                        });
                      }

But it didn't work, suppose we should create Drupal.ajax object first, or what?

Here's my code for views_autorefresh.js, It works for me. Hopefully it will be helpful

(function ($) {
// START jQuery

Drupal.behaviors.views_autorefresh = {
  attach: function(context, settings) {
    if (Drupal.settings && Drupal.settings.views && Drupal.settings.views.ajaxViews) {
      var ajax_path = Drupal.settings.views.ajax_path;
      // If there are multiple views this might've ended up showing up multiple times.
      if (ajax_path.constructor.toString().indexOf("Array") != -1) {
        ajax_path = ajax_path[0];
      }
      $.each(Drupal.settings.views.ajaxViews, function(i, settings) {
        var view = '.view-dom-id-' + settings.view_dom_id;
        if (!$(view).size()) {
          // Backward compatibility: if 'views-view.tpl.php' is old and doesn't
          // contain the 'view-dom-id-#' class, we fall back to the old way of
          // locating the view:
          view = '.view-id-' + settings.view_name + '.view-display-id-' + settings.view_display_id;
        }
        $(view).filter(':not(.views-autorefresh-processed)')
          // Don't attach to nested views. Doing so would attach multiple behaviors
          // to a given element.
          .filter(function() {
            // If there is at least one parent with a view class, this view
            // is nested (e.g., an attachment). Bail.
            return !$(this).parents('.view').size();
          })
          .each(function() {
            // Set a reference that will work in subsequent calls.
            var target = this;
            $(this)
              .addClass('views-autorefresh-processed')
              // Process pager, tablesort, and attachment summary links.
              .find('.auto-refresh a')
              .each(function () {
                var viewData = { 'js': 1 };
                // Construct an object using the settings defaults and then overriding
                // with data specific to the link.
                $.extend(
                  viewData,
                  Drupal.Views.parseQueryString($(this).attr('href')),
                  // Extract argument data from the URL.
                  Drupal.Views.parseViewArgs($(this).attr('href'), settings.view_base_path),
                  // Settings must be used last to avoid sending url aliases to the server.
                  settings
                );
                
                $.extend(viewData, Drupal.Views.parseViewArgs($(this).attr('href'), settings.view_base_path));
                $(this).addClass('views-throbbing');

                var ajax = new Drupal.ajax(base, this, element_settings);
                
                // Make a copy of the old function so we can still call it:
                ajax.old_success = ajax.success;
                
                // Now replace it with our own.
                ajax.success = function (response, status) {
                  // Scroll to the top of the view. This will allow users

rlmumford, that works a treat.

I tried the standard alpha release install with no joy. I replaced the packaged views_autorefresh.js file with your code and both my block and page views are auto-refreshing nicely.

Thanks to all.

Thx rlmumford espessialy for example of useing Drupal.ajax.
There is error in Chrome, "clearTimer is not defined" -- replace it with clearTimeout.

PS: if someone searching for more examples and explanations of useing Drupal.ajax, you schould see.

here's a patch (contains the important bits people mentioned above) for the views-autorefresh.js that will work on D7. Tested on a vanilla install. Apply it in the views_hacks root directory.

Thank you all for the contribution.

forgot to mark the right component

there's some legacy stuff from my testing in the last patch. This patch is clean, so use this instead of the one in comment #25.

Thanks for this patch. As I'm about to use Views Auto-Refresh on a D7 project myself, I will be reviewing it shortly.

Committed to latest dev, with some changes. Thanks!

The Views Auto-Refresh module in D6 had greatly progressed since this version though, including a ping URL and a progressive refresh mechanism. These functionalities are not included in this commit. I am working on them.

Added support for ping script.

Added support for incremental refresh. This completes the port of Views Auto-Refresh. Please open new issues if you encounter problems.

Great news! Thanks! I'll test it soon.

Anxy documentation how to use it?

Here are 2 articles on how to use it:

http://thereisamoduleforthat.com/content/auto-refreshing-views-real-time...
http://thereisamoduleforthat.com/content/auto-refreshing-views-part-ii-o...

Articles also correct for D7 module?

An alternative way could be nodejs integration? I haven't work with nodejs, but it sounds like a good solution... but needs nodejs installed at server.
http://drupal.org/sandbox/julien/1502728

Nodejs is not needed. A simple PHP script suffices. You should read the articles :-)

I have take a look at the articles and tried it with a simple complete refresh test, but it doesn't work. PHP code displayed at the view and not executed. Also doesn't work with views_php module installed.

I'll try it again...
