UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 6 V5.php Modifications Auto Reloads

I would like to have certain pages automatically reload after a speciifc period of time. I know that by modifying/adding meta will do the trick, my question is where can I do this so that only postlist, showthreaded and showflat are affected by this change? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Will putting the meta stuff inside those three files you want to affect not work, or are you asking where in those three files would be best? []/testimages/icons/smile.gif[/]

Asking where they would fit best. I have not tried it, but I figured I'd ask first, just in case. <g>

I hacked the forum that way.

First an IF rule to exclude the input pages from a refresh (if a user is sent back to his input page because of an error he does not want do see refreshed =empty input field and have to start from the beginning)

For all other pages i set the two known META tags to refresh the pages and not to put it in cache.

That also has the nice effect that the icons and information for NEW and unread files are updated right.
