Refresh Activity module without manual page refresh

Greetings,

I'd like to know if it's possible for the activity module to update in real-time (or after a short delay) without the user needing to refresh the page to see new posts in the activity stream?

I've read this post 'How to make the Activity module reload on certain actions?' @

www.joomlapolis.com/forum/153-professional-member-support/240023-7333-how-to-make-the-activity-module-reload-on-certain-actions#308318

And I've played around with the interval timers but from what i gather this only updates the activity stream with new posts on the server-side, client-side still requires a page refresh for the user to see new posts. Is this correct?

Is it possible to achieve this functionality with the auto-actions plugin?

Alternatively, in my research I've come across this post:

stackoverflow.com/questions/37921078/how-automatically-refresh-only-one-module-in-joomla

with the following script:

(code snippet removed to enable posting)

In the above example, 'parite' is the module the developer wishes to refresh.

I appreciate you don't do custom work but if you could let me know if I'm going in the right direction I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks for the help.

You don't need any custom scripts or extensions. Simply turn on the auto update feature in your module or globally. For an activity stream in a module you'll find that parameter under the Activity tab. This functionality is built into CB Activity. The auto update interval can only be configured globally though within CB Activity > Parameters > Loader. It will make several attempts to find new entries before giving up to prevent their browser from pinging your site forever (also can be configured via parameters under Loader).
