What I've been trying to do is find a way to embed external content on MW pages, especially the main page. This is for a departmental team portal project. The 'external' content maybe be in several forms, and is typically small snippets of information that are placed in different places on a page with <div>. My goal is that each time the MW page is loaded that the external data is loaded. I've used two methods so far: <php>include ('http://someURL.php <http://someurl.php/>');</php> and also using the 'include' extension like <include src="http://.someURL.php" /> or <include src="file.inc" />. The PROBLEM is that the external data isn't reliably loaded dynamically. Seems like it's cached somewhere and only updated when I modify the page -- how can I work around this? (tried disabling memcached with effect) The external data are either fully dynamic (e.g. some php that pulls/calculates data at each execution), or are peridically updated by some outside method (eg a cron job that runs every 15min and dumps some results to a txt file). This is not an attempt to create an ajax-like solution with <div> that are independent of the page (althought that would be nice too and I don't know where to even start)... this is only to update each time the page is refreshed (anyone know a way to add a meta-refresh to a MW page?) Thanks in advance ... i've been picking away at this for a few months with no luck and now i really need to find a solution FAST.
