Hello
Some time ago I asked about having TW repeat task at regular
intervals...sort of local replacement for cronjob.
I got the reply from Rakugo
"In theory yes..
in javascript you can get the current time using t = new Date();
and theoretically you could use window.setTimeout to run periodically.
eg.
var mycronjob = function(){
alert("Hello! I run every 10 seconds!");
window.setTimeout(mycronjob,10000);
};
mycronjob();
Obviously your page would have to be constantly open to run like a
cron job though. "
I didnt ´need to follow that up, at that time...but now I have another
application and I want to understand more how to use this. My
knowledge of javascript and setting up functions is very limited.
What I am wanting to do is use Dropbox to create a simple alternative
to ripplerap. The idea is that each person in the group (a course)
would have an individual TW into which they entered notes...sort of
mini-blog style. Periodically a central TW (which as Rakugo said would
be open during the lecture/workshop) picks new tiddlers from the
individual TWs using Erics loadTiddlersPlugin. Each individual
notetaker can hit a "refresh" button that picks up the new entries
(also using loadTiddlers)....directly om the central TW....all this in
a shared dropbox folder.
So the only part I need help with is this "periodically" running the
central TW tiddler that has the list of uploadTidders (one for each
notetaker). Can someone explain more how to use Rakugo's suggestion?
The example uses a simple display, how do I code this to open / run
the tiddler containing the uploadTiddler commands?
Thank you in Advance......(PS the course is starting tomorrow!!!)
