Hi Folks, I have used the Ubercart Auction module to create a custom grid view of items that are currently being auctioned. Because I cannot add images in this forum, I am just describing what the view looks like
(Product Name)
(Product Image)
(Time left for auction to expire)
(Current Highest Bidder)
(Sale Price)
Its pretty much a static view right now and I want to add an AJAX based functionality so that the end time, the highest bidder and the Sale price are refreshed automatically every second. Just one thing to emphasize, the end time is NOT fixed due to an anti-sniper feature so the timer needs to query the db every second.
There are around 12 products on one page so I cannot even go for refreshing the entire page every second. That would be an extreme bandwidth hogger and inefficient solution!
I tried UC_auction's issue queue but haven't got a response for over a week now! Will appreciate any kind of pointer in the right direction on how to go about this. I am a relative noob but after fiddling around with Drupal the last couple of months or so, I think I can manage with little help. Thanks in Advance!
