Hi everyone,
I've got a list of entries in a view and I want to be able to show the value of a specific field in real time without having to refresh the page or clicking a button.
To be more specific, my form has a status field ("Claimed" or "Not claimed"). I want the status to be shown on the list of entries for each one of them in case it is "Claimed". But in order for me to see if someone else updated one of the entries, I need to refresh the page. I don't want to do that. I want to be able to see the change in realtime, without having to refresh the page or click a button.
I hope this makes sense.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you!
Francesco

Given your list of tags, I'm guessing you already know the answer. You'll need to set up a timer w/jQuery and make ajax calls to get the values and then update the UI.

I suggest searching for keywords such as "jquery (or javascript), execute function repeatedly " or something similar. That's the "hard part", though it really shouldn't be that hard. Here's one example - https://www.tutorialrepublic.com/faq/how-to-call-a-function-repeatedly-after-fixed-time-interval-in-jquery.php
