Live Coverage 6.x-1.0-beta3

This module creates an easy live blogging feature to provide live coverage of an event. The content administrator can create a live event node and add updates to that node. These short updates auto-refresh for the site visitors, so they can watch new updates pop onto the page without hitting refresh.Features * Blog short updates from an event that get refreshed live on your visitor's browser * Create updates from the node view for simplicity * Tabs allow edit/delete options for updates (1.x) * CRUD permissions for short updates including 'edit any' and 'delete any' (1.x) * Site viewers have an automatic refresh using a simple bit of jquery * Site viewers can list the updates by timestamp ascending or descending * Administrative settings for date display, javascript refresh rate and optional sub directory install location (directory setting in 1.x - 2.x does not implement file storage) * Module provides hook_help as well as advanced help * Module uses hook_theme and an included template file for styling the short updates * Module creates static files to display the short updates to limit database usage (1.x)New Features in Version 2.xAfter a lot of demand, Version 2.x now supports the ability to extend the updates. It is still being reviewed for performance, but it is certainly more feature-rich than Version 1.x. * Updates now use nodes so that you may extend them however you see fit. Need photos? Use CCK/Imagecache/Lightbox2. Need to modify the updates? Use any of the Drupal Node APIs. * javascript now only pulls down new updates. This is one of the big trade-offs, but necessary for performance reasons. * New updates are highlighted in yellow for a short duration before fading out.
