geddy realtime socket.io dependency

[Vishi]

Just so that everyone is aware, realtime in geddy version 13.0.7 doesn't work with socket.io version 1.2.0. i.e. latest versions as of today are not compatible for some reason

I had to downgrade socket.io to get it working. This works

>geddy -v

13.0.7

  "name": "socket.io",

  "version": "0.8.7",

Thanks for the heads up. We would really like to rip that RT support out, and replace it with something more modular.

so whats the idea? what do you mean by something more modular ?

[Matthew Eernisse]

I mean possibly making it something you install optionally with a generator, similar to the way we handle auth, instead of making it a hard dependency, and having a completely separate set of templates with only a few code changes in them.

ok I shall dig deeper.

This wiki page (https://github.com/geddy/geddy/wiki/Realtime-and-MVC) mentions that real time works out of the box for additions, updates and removals. However I could only get it to work for additions. Removal (deleting) is not reflected on the index page opened in another browser window, for example. 

Do you know if this is a bug, or is something playing up with the incompatible versions ?

How can I get the index page to update for addition, update and removal?
