Please consider to add a function to widgets: Refresh content after X minutes/seconds. In many cases it is very useful to have a widget refresh. For example the members online widget is something that will currently make members reload the whole page to see if it has changed. Optimally the refresh function could be restricted to usergroups, so that we can make it available to our subscribing members. I know people are willing to buy a subscription for this function as it greatly enhances the browsing experience.
That is technically possible but I'm wonder where should be the best place to configure this kind of behavior. Any thought?
I think an admincp for the refresh time and usergroup permissions 'widgets refresh for this usergroup'. The usergroup permissions could be set per widget or in the usergroup permissions.
