Description for "rss.config.refreshafter" is outdated and misleading

[anonymous]

i am using gregarius on my rootserver. i set up a crontab to update every 30minutes.

gregarius seems not to accept that. it only fetches new news every 60minutes, the crontab works correctly. rss.config.refreshafter is set to 0.

yes, i know about traffic for feed providers, but i need an update every 30minutes and it is ok for the providers.

dont know if its a bug, or a feature or something. i hope i will get fixed. :D

Check your setting in admin->config->rss.config.refreshafter

The default value is 45, which if you're polling ever 30 minutes would lead to fetching new items every 60 minutes. Lower this to 30..

Zhasper, the original poster is correct. rss.config.refreshafter will only make the browser refresh your feeds. There is a hard limit of 60 minutes set internally. Gregarius will not attempt to fetch any feeds that were successfully fetched less than 60 minutes ago. The reason why you might want to refresh your browser every 30 minutes even though the hard limit is 60 minutes is because feeds might time out the first time around.

Anyway this ticket is sort of superceeded by #243 which shall be fixed as soon as 0.5.4 is released, in the mean time you can use the hack mentioned here http://forums.gregarius.net/comments.php?DiscussionID=256&page=1#Item_2 to reduce the limit on a per-feed basis to as little as 10 minutes.

It's nice to see that the emailingness is working now :)

In that case... this bug report is now about the fact that the "Description" field is wrong. It currently says:

If this option is set the feeds will be refreshed after x minutes of inactivity. Please respect the feed providers by not setting this value to anything lower than thirty minutes. Set this variable to 0 turn this option off.

This should be something along the lines of

This option shows how often (in minutes) the browser will refresh the page you're viewing

My apologies to Anonymous for misleading them...

I think you have the old version. The config descriptions for old config options do not change if you svn up. You would need to delete the config option from your db and then you would see the new description.

This is what it currently says.

If this option is set the feeds will be updated after keeping the browser open for x minutes. Please respect the feed providers by not setting this value to anything lower than thirty minutes. Set this variable to 0 turn this option off.

yeah, description is misleading, but the origin problem is not solved.

--> reopened

anonymous wants to update gregarius's feeds every 30min.
