Re: Using ColdFusion to Create an Activity Feed???
Thanks for the ideas. I do have a SQL table taht gets updated with activity so like you said a timer or a trigger of some sort to do the AJAX call. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:348759 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Jenny - this is a Railo implementation of a web socket gateway, but it is helpful to understand the concept. http://wiki.getrailo.org/wiki/Extensions:WebSockets_Gateway -- Josh On Tue, Oct 4, 2011 at 7:00 PM, Jenny Gavin-Wear jenn...@fasttrackonline.co.uk wrote: Interesting ..

Re: Using ColdFusion to Create an Activity Feed???
I believe you can implement socket.io without using node.js, which provides cross browser asynchronous push. The next version of ColdFusion will have full web socket support, but that doesn't help you today. Some sites are relying on PusherApp.com to provide this.

Using ColdFusion to Create an Activity Feed???
How do you use ColdFusion to create an asynchronous activity feed like you see in the upper right area of Facebook? Any examples or links would be helpful.

Re: Using ColdFusion to Create an Activity Feed???
Well, it depends a lot on the details. If you store user actions in a database, and you know the current users list of friends, then it is trivial to use SQL to get the last N activity items from your friends. Displaying it like FB simply means using Ajax to retrieve said events and display. You can create a timed event in your JS code to update this list every N seconds or so.
