Hey Guys,

Can anyone help me sharing a code in order to auto refresh tables (#view\_1111 and #view\_1100) after 5 minutes?

Thanks a lot!

Wrap you model.fetch in a timer...

function doSomething() {

alert('This is a 5 minute popup');

}

setInterval(doSomething, 300000);

I know this isn't your code, but a way to do it maybe?

So, on the view load set the timer, and in the doSomethign have your model.fetch() code is my thought.

The result I want is the one I get with this code

$(document).on('knack-cell-update.view\_1111', function(event, view, record) {  
Knack.views["view\_1111"].model.fetch();

});

However, the code above only works when inline edit a cell. I want this kind of refresh of the table in view\_1111.

Is this possible?

I'd do this with a little java script function linked to when these pages are loaded.. Something like the below.. I haven't tested it..

$(document).on('knack-view-render.view\_1111', function(event, view, data) {

var timeoutPeriod = 300000;

setTimeout('location.reload(true);",timeoutPeriod);  
  
});
