[Cartoweb-users] refresh map

[Oliver Christen]

Hi

You could certainly do an timed ajax call that would send a request to the 
server every x min/sec to check if some modifications have been done on the 
layers. but it means you also need to add some code on php side so the 
information about the layers state is available (modifed, not modified or 
maybe modification date/time)
then if the date/time (sent via ajax) of the map image displayed in the 
user's browser is older than the last layer modification, trigger the image 
coreplugin, otherwise do nothing.
that way you do not have to reload the whole map image if there was no 
modification.

something like that.

regards
Oliver
