[Solved]: Automatic refresh of webpage will not work - Weathermap Cacti1.x

[Dummy]

I'm using Cacti 1.2.11 and had installed the Weathermap-Plugin provided by phalek (Very great, thank you phalek for adapting weathermap to Cacti 1.x ... )
I had defined some Maps which will all work without any problem.

Only one issue is not working and I do not know the reason why. Maybe someone could help?

"Refresh". If I choose one Map on my browser (Firefox, Chrome) it will be displayed immediately.
If I manually refresh the page after about one Minute I will see that the Map was updated (I can see that the timestamp has changed).
But I would expect that there is an automatic refresh of the Webpage to show updated Maps but this will not work.
If I like to see changes on the Map I have to initiate a refresh of the webpage manually.

The Option "Automatically cycle" will work but this is not matching to my needs. I am using 8 Maps and I like to show only 1 Map permanently which should be updated (refreshed) automatically.

In the older Version of Cacti and plugin weathermap there was a config in the <header> - part of the Webpage which takes care on a periodic refresh:
<meta http-equiv=refresh content='300'> ... not in the current Version for Cacti 1.x

Is there no automatic refresh of single Weathermaps?

The problem was solved already within topic "weathermap 098a_cacti1.x_updated Page refresh issue"

I was not aware that my problem was similar to the solved problem but the solution, described in "weathermap 098a_cacti1.x_updated Page refresh issue", works for me too.

Sorry for wasting your time

I also have the same problem。

"weathermap 098a_cacti1.x_updated Page refresh issue", didn't works for me. The fix has been corrected in the version I downloaded。
Help, is there any other way to try?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
vim /var/www/html/cacti/plugins/weathermap/weathermap-cacti-plugin.php
528 if ( $fullscreen ) {
529 print "<script src='" . $config[ 'url_path' ] . "plugins/weathermap/vendor/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js'></script>";
530 }
531 print "<script src='" . $config[ 'url_path' ] . "plugins/weathermap/vendor/jquery-idletimer/dist/idle-timer.min.js'></script>";
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
vim /var/www/html/cacti/plugins/weathermap/cacti-resources/map-cycle.js

I also confirm that the latest version of weathermap 0.98a and Cacti 1.2.22 does not auto refresh when just showing one map. In "fullscreen" cycle mode it does.

[amdpowered]

As a hack, I added the following to the "cacti/lib/html.php" file in the function html_common_header.

<meta http-equiv=refresh content='30'>

Now it will refresh in 30 seconds.

[amdpowered]

Actually the previous suggestion is not good because it'll refresh all pages in 30 seconds. The following will refresh only the weathermap single page when not full screen.

I've edited weathermap-cacti-plugin.php and added the following to after line 361 and after line 633.

print "<script>\n";
print "\tfunction autoRefresh() {\n";
print "\t\twindow.location = window.location.href;\n";
print "}\n";
print "setInterval('autoRefresh()',30000);\n";
print "</script>\n";

Dear amdpowered
I don't understand the code, is it added to this location? Maybe the line number of the file is inconsistent with what you describe.
Please help guide the detailed add location.
thanks

Yes, those locations exactly. Just noticed I was missing 3 semicolons. You can copy and paste the code again and it should work.

[eyunb0405]

Dear amdpowered
I applied this code without error. But no automatic refresh is implemented. Open weathermap one map does not refresh automatically.
Are there other modifications required? How should I check? please help。thanks

I tried <meta http-equiv=refresh content='30'> in cacti/lib/html.php ， it works fine. The problem is as you describe, all pages will be refreshed.

[amdpowered]

Did you re-copy and paste the code from above? I had edited it and included 3 missing semicolons.

[eyunb0405]

yes, I re-copy and paste the code from above and added ;.
code show as below:

361 if ( file_exists( $htmlfile ) ) {
362 print "<script>\n";
363 print "\tfunction autoRefresh() {\n";
364 print "\t\twindow.location = window.location.href;\n";
365 print "}\n";
366 print "setInterval('autoRefresh()',30000);\n";
367 print "</script>\n";
368 echo "<div class='fixscroll' style='overflow:auto'>";
369 include( $htmlfile );
370 echo "</div>";
371 } else {
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
639 if ( file_exists( $htmlfile ) ) {
640 print "<script>\n";
641 print "\tfunction autoRefresh() {\n";
642 print "\t\twindow.location = window.location.href;\n";
