Only the unread counter is updated right know.
The AutoUpdate Feature is designed on the premise of don't wasting resources. A
distinction is made between updates when Miniflux is visible or hidden.
To determine the visibility status, the Page Visibility API is used. The API is
available starting with Chrome 33, Firefox 18 and IE10. [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/User_experience/Using_the_Page_Visibility_API]
As IE9 returns an undefined, it doesn't break the compatibility at least.
If Miniflux is visible, the unread counter on the web page is updated as soon as
a mismatch between the counter and the number of unread articles in the database
is found.
If Miniflux is hidden, the timestamp of the most recent article from each feed
is compared with the value from the last run. We have an update If the timestamp
of the latest article is greater than the stored one and the latest article is
unread. The web page title is updated with a ? symbol to notify the user and the
update check pauses till Miniflux gets visible again. If Miniflux gets visible
again, the number of unread articles is queried from the database, the unread
counter on the web page is updated and finally the ? symbol is removed from the
web page title.
This way I can use my fever API client to read new articles (or at least the
latest article) while Miniflux is hidden and as I've seen the new articles
already a new articles notification is prevented.
It's intentionally that the page does not reload automatically as long as
articles are visible. If I'm in hurry, I only scroll through the articles to
spot something interesting. Most of the time I don't reach the last article.
If the page is reloaded while I'm away, I would have to scan from the top again.
If we're on a nothing_to_read page and have unread articles in the database, a
redirect to the unread page will be done.
The default update check interval is 10 minutes and can be changed on the
settings page. A zero value disables the update check entirely.

Major benefit, beside a smaller file size, is the possibility to remove debug informations from the minified javascript.
make-js script:
- take care of any warnings and errors
- raise warning level to verbose
js/*
- switch to Array-Access Property Notation for external data (prevents renaming by the closure compiler)
Show feeds with errors always at the top and highlight them
Changes the feed order to:
1. failed
2. enabled
3. disabled
Order alphabetical within each group.
Show a warning message with a hin to the console if feeds have issues
Fixes#300, #303
Don't hide the active element, it annoying to use the navigation if the
menu items changing there position with every click. Indicate the active
menu item instead, similar to the header navigation.
May I've worked to long with windows systems, but help and about have to
be the last menu items :-). I've reorderd the menu items to what I think
user need more often.
A sub-navigation should not change its parent heading. Changed that as
well.
This is a follow up to #1. The onclick event is triggered by different
mouse buttons across browsers:
Firefox
- all mouse buttons trigger document.onclick (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=430310)
- only left mouse button triggers document.body.onclick
Internet Explorer
- only left mouse button and without any modifier key triggers
document.onclick
Chrome
- left & middle mouse button trigger document.onclick
Safari
- left mouse button triggers document.onclick
- middle click via mac os?
By switching to the onmouseup event this can be unified for all
mentioned browsers to:
- (CTRL+) left click triggers event
- middle click triggers event
- right click does nothing
The 'open original' link marks the item as read but doesn't open the
article.
After double clicking one 'open original' link, all other
'open original' links open the article as expected. Sounds like the IE
blocks the 'popup' silenty here.
The following in #196 reported issues are fixed by the change as well:
- a middle click on an 'open original' link triggers the popup blocker
- original link opened via middle click is always a foreground tab
I've dropped it accidentally with my last commit. Furthermore I moved
the data-feed-id definition to the article element and dropped multiple
references of the feed id. That's similar to what I've done before with
the data-item-id in 3dae99ac.
The article element holds the information whether a feed is disabled now.
Now it is shown if a feed had errors while updating.
Use CSS3 Animation for the "loading icon" blinking and move the definition of
the loading icon to CSS as well.
CSS3 Animations are supported by IE10, Firefox and using the -webkit prefix by
Chrome and Safari.
I've dropped the usage of element.classList in favour of supporting refreshing/
article downloading in IE9 (again). The classList stuff isn't necessarily
needed, as the elements in question only get one or no class assigned.
I've dropped no longer supported css options like:
the appearance option isn't supported by any browser, the -webkit-appearance
doesn't change anything visible.
-webkit-font-smoothing support was dropped in chrome 22 and font-smoothing
isn't specified anywhere.
As i can't imagine any other site than the bookmarks page where an article needs
to be hidden based on the bookmark status, I've hardwired it into the javascript
function.
When using the previous shortcut with the first article selected, the selection
is removed and no article is the current-item. Using the shortcut again, the
last article is the current-item (as expected on a new loaded page).
The same applies to the combination of last article and next shortcut.
The item id exists as data attribute or as element.id postfix on multiple
elements in an article.
The basic idea is to traverse the DOM tree - starting from the event firing
element - in reverse order till an article element is found.
This article element is passed to the JavaScript functions. These JavaScript
functions are getting the elements which they want to manipulate starting from
the article utilizing the JavaScript querySelector function.
The bootstrap themes had a conflicting and unused class style definied, which is
removed by now.
Unified the page-counters before.
This makes processing of counters in javascript way more easier. The minimum
required browser versions for the needed CSS3 selectors are IE9, Firefox 3.5
and Chrome 5. Confirmed working with IE9, Firefox 24.6, Chrome 36, Mobile Safari
on iOS6.
An unintended side effect of CSS brackets is that theme designers are able to
implement there idea of brackets.
Remove line breaks and indentation around links text: At least Chrome/Firefox on
Windows add the white space(s) from the HTML Code to the link text, which
results in "jumping" labels. The behaviour can be observed with the Hello Theme
while toggling the bookmark status.
I had particular problems with Ctrl-N (open new window/tab)
interfering with N (go to next unread item). This change
disregards keyboard shortcuts if Alt, Shift, or Ctrl are used.
It also tries to disregard Win/Super/Meta, though this didn't
work for me in Firefox. Still, just the Ctrl is an improvement
for me.
