Seth’s approach is very similar … and has the pro/con of a full page reload. A bit jarring, but also guarantees a full new page. My approach would just update the model, and update the page inline. I also think it might only do it once, as setTimeout I think it a single shot whereas setInterval does it over and over again?
Taking from Seth’s example, it would look something like this (also updated to do it once per hour):
(function(skuid){<br /> $(document.body).one("pageload", function(){<br /> var myModel = skuid.model.getModel('ADD_YOUR_MODEL_NAME_HERE');<br /> var waitTime = 60 * 60 * 1000; // 60 minutes time 60 seconds time 1000 milliseconds<br /> setInterval(function() { myModel.updateData();
}, waitTime);<br /> });<br />})(skuid);
I’ll apologize in advance … I didn’t test this code! Fingers crossed… To make this easier to test, change the “waitTime” to something really short like “3000” (instead of 60601000), which will be once every 3 seconds.
