Manual/Auto dashboard refresh with QSO

[petrkr]

Described in #2445
Maybe here we can discuss about behavior with others too.

Idea is have some automatic refresh of dashboard, so new QSO logged thought API will appear without need full-site-refresh.

Manual mode

• will have button load/refresh

Automatic mode

• will do periodical requests, which will eat traffic/battery and mess up logs on server

As libra I do not know what is better :) But as programmer/IT network/Sysadmin best would be web socket and automatic mode, but that will need to redone lot of design of logger from "database view web page" to "web application".

But since my friend, who not is familiar with computers much, he using Logger32 and still comparing everything to it. So he asked me "how to connect CW to this cloudlogger", or "when I will see QSO, if I will do it there"... But most of things are for web-application than web-page (but that is for another discussion thread).

A small dropdown on the right top of the logbook overview "a-la Grafana" would be nice, for those that do API logging.

No fancy "api-status-check-internal-sync-mechanisms". Just something that refreshes the page from time to time. Would be nice :)

Uh oh! @Wireheadbe, the image you shared is missing helpful alt text. Check #2446 (comment).

Alt text is an invisible description that helps screen readers describe images to blind or low-vision users. If you are using markdown to display images, add your alt text inside the brackets of the markdown image.

Learn more about alt text at Basic writing and formatting syntax: images on GitHub Docs.

Under <cloud log root directory>/application/views/dashboard/ edit index.php file
<?php ... ?> (after php part and before) <div class="container dashboard">
insert :
<script>
function autoRefresh() {
window.location = window.location.href;
}
setInterval('autoRefresh()', 60000);
</script>

60000 means one minute in miliseconds. You can change it to desired period.

Refreshing the complete page while is as easy as a simple javascript function it isn't the solution to this.

I have implemented a refresh of the logbook table using htmx and its now in the dev branch, what is needed however is a rewrite of the map loading to handle similar as just reloading the function would create a large amount of annoying flicker.

This has an active issue at #3105

I've started doing this you can follow along in the dev branch and Issue #3105

I am having a problem with the maidenhead overlay throwing an error so if anyone likes debugging a hand would be greatly appreciated.
