Live editable text on a website?

golddiggerguy · 19-12-2009, 06:56:38 PM

I'm looking to show text on a site and have it updateable live from my PC without the need of the viewer having to refresh tha page. (in a box or panel doesn't matter how)

I've hjad a quick scan on G but nothing stands out.

Any help would be FAB!

You want an 'edit in place' mechanism - am looking into it myself but not much at the moment

I want to edit text and then to be reflected live (within seconds anyways) to viewers.

I'm guessing that demo is a logged in admin view.?

I use Contribute CS4 for doing this. Possibly not exactly what you're after because it requires you to update, but it does the job, sort of!

It's prob going to be an ajax script or similar to achieve this.

I want a line of text to say "1234567890" and then for me to change something and then say "abcdefghijk" as if by magic!

I will be using WordPress so it might even be a plugin that does it. Maybe

Cheers Guys!!!

Any more?

Would have to be some sort of applet like the old days and like widgets and chat help things use. I'm sure there is something you can manipulate.

Does it have to be indexable?

No you were right, ajax is best

Here is the code you will need.

Update Part Of A Page Without Refreshing?

It would involve a lot of calls though, to show live changes, say you want to only change it a few minutes a day, the page would be calling up ever few milliseconds. I suppose you could just change this prior to you needing tomake live changes though and then suspend it once you have finished.

Thanks for that link!

That did seem a good way to start with but is a bit over kill for what I want.

Might have to get a programmer to write a WP plugin for me

More work than I thought you wanted, but that is excellent.
