Description
I press the refresh tab every time I need to fetch the feeds and generate a new page. Is it possible to automate it, in some way so that I don't have to do it manually every few hours?
#1
You need to set up a cron job. Memetracker fetches feeds and generates a new page on the cron run.
#2
could you give me some more details on this.
thanks.
#3
Follow the instructions here:
http://drupal.org/cron
Once you've set up cron, memetracker will update itself automatically.

i've done that but, the memetracker isn't updated.

Look at your Drupal log file -- is cron completing successfully? The process of creating memes takes a long time. A common problem is that your cron run will run out of time before it can finish creating memes. Does your log file say that cron runs are completing succesfully?
If cron runs are not completing successfully -- try increasing the max_execution_time in your php.ini file. I have mine set at 200 seconds.
