Live Coverage

The administrator can generate a live event node and add updates to the node.

These short updates auto-refresh for the site visitors, so they can watch new updates pop onto the page without hitting refresh.

Installation:

Unpack in your modules folder (usually '/sites/all/modules/')
Enable under Administer > Site Building > Modules

Features:

• Blog short updates from an event that get refreshed live on your visitor's browser
• Create updates from the node view for simplicity
• Tabs allow edit/delete options for updates (1.x)
• CRUD permissions for short updates including 'edit any' and 'delete any' (1.x)
• Module provides hook_help as well as advanced help
• Module uses hook_theme and an included template file for styling the short updates
• Module creates static files to display the short updates to limit database usage (1.x)
• Site viewers have an automatic refresh using a simple bit of jquery
• Site viewers can list the updates by timestamp ascending or descending
• Administrative settings for date display, javascript refresh rate and optional sub directory install location (directory setting in 1.x - 2.x does not implement file storage)

Requirements:

• Drupal 6.x
