FIX for refresh issue

[kevsfastz]

EDIT: After some testing with below it appears some URLs will not load after adding numbers such as the date and time suggested below. Adding a ? at the end of the URL appears to be a simple workaround.

It appears this happens to URL's that do not change when refreshed. I corrected the refresh issue by adding + new Date().getTime(); after the URL in the .js file:

`Module.register("MMM-iFrameReload",{
// Default module config.
defaults: {
url: "",
height:"800px",
width:"400%",
refreshInterval: 3600,
animationSpeed: 1000
},

// Define start sequence.
start: function() {
	Log.info("Starting module: " + this.name);
	this.scheduleUpdate(this.config.refreshInterval);
},
// Override dom generator.
getDom: function() {
	var iframe = document.createElement("IFRAME");
	iframe.style = "border:0"
	iframe.width = this.config.width;
	iframe.height = this.config.height;
	iframe.src =  this.config.url + new Date().getTime();
	return iframe;
},
scheduleUpdate: function(delay) {
	var nextLoad = this.config.refreshInterval;
	if (typeof delay !== "undefined" && delay >= 0) {
		nextLoad = delay * 1000; // Convert seconds to millis
	}
	var self = this;
	setTimeout(function() {
		self.updateFrame();
	}, 30000);
	},
updateFrame: function() {
	if (this.config.url === "") {
		Log.error("Tried to refresh, iFrameReload URL not set!");
		return;
	}
	// Change url to force refresh?
	this.src = this.config.url;
	Log.info("attempting to update dom for iFrameReload");
	Log.info('/"this/" module is: ' + this);
	this.updateDom(this.config.animationSpeed);
	this.scheduleUpdate(this.config.refreshInterval);
}

});`

Hi,

I tried the fixes you suggested but nothing seems to work. I don´t think the module reloads at all. I set the update interval to 60 and the animation speed to 4000, but I never saw an animation. I now nothing about coding, I just go by trial and error. So here is what I did already:

First I tried:
adding
iframe.src = this.config.url + new Date().getTime();
in the section
// Override dom generator.

as you did in the example.
After that, the stream does not load at all (I see only a rectangle).

Then I tried:
Adding "+ new Date().getTime();" to the other url in the js file:
// Change url to force refresh?
this.src = this.config.url + new Date().getTime();
Now I see the stream again, but it does not seem to reload.

Then I tried:
the solution with adding the "?" to the url:
First try:
iframe.src = this.config.url?;
in the section
// Override dom generator.
Again, this broke the stream (I see only a rectangle).

Then I tried:
// Change url to force refresh?
this.src = this.config.url?;
Now I see nothing at all, not even the rectangle.

I´m sure I´m doing something wrong, can you tell me, what it is?
I am trying to embed a foscam camera stream into my mirror by the way.

put iframe.setAttribute("timestamp", new Date().getTime()); between line 32 and 33
