Real time updating of talk status in schedule/Stage page

I have noticed that the “live” status is not updated in real time when left open. You need to refresh the page for the “live” status to jump to the talk that is curently live. Can this be implemented with Socket/Pub Sub/Ajax etc?

Hi Luke, Thanks for the suggestion. Based on the architecture of this particular page, I don't think a pub/sub approach would be appropriate. Though, I'm sure we could do something that will auto-refresh the page every 5 minutes or so to keep it somewhat fresh. Obviously, longer-term, I'm sure there'll be some re-architecting done that will open the doors up for more pub/sub style architectures. But for now, I think a basic time to refresh would probably be the best approach.

Hi Luke, Just a quick note to let you know that we've added a 5-minute auto-refresh on this page. It's rudimentary but gets the job done. At some point in the future, if we change the underlying architecture of the front-end pages, we can look at more dynamic approaches. But hopefully this will give us 95% of the way there in the meantime. Note that this update is being rolled out, so it could take up to 15 minutes to fully propagate around our servers.

Hi Ben, the speed you resolve the resolvable is impressive. Great fix for the time being.
