677604 - Allow editors to turn off lock-checking

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Admin/Editor Tools, defect)

Description

[Gregory Koberger (:gkoberger)]

Currently, we check every 8 seconds to see if another editor is viewing the page.  This is annoying jbalogh, so I'll make a (hidden) option to turn it off.

This shouldn't be a feature anyone can access (since it's important other editors know you're on the page; the pinging both reserves the page and checks the data), so I made it a "hidden feature".  Plus, I didn't want to spend time on a GUI if only jbalogh needs it.

To activate it:
window.localStorage['dont_poll'] = true;

To deactivate it:
window.localStorage.removeItem('dont_poll');
