Topic: html-forum.net // ajax o.O

Hiho,
now, finally, i present my punbb ;-)

find it at: HTML Forum

post formatting works with textile _and_ bbcode to get the advantages of both systems

another thing is the ajax impementation. for those of you who dont know it, search google cool
the index, viewforum and viewtopic pages are loaded via javascript http-request. that works a lot father. after 5 http-request the site is loaded the normal way. the direkt url is displayed, too so you can link pages properly. the hrefs keep untouched for search engines.

hope you like it smile

greet,
flx

Re: html-forum.net // ajax o.O

i experimented with ajax and punbb before http://connorhd.com/ajax/start.php (not at all finished) but it seemed that the benefits weren't enough to make it worth losing the back button

Yeah, the skin is what impressed me the most. It looks great smile As for the AJAX stuff, well, I'm not entirely convinced. It's cool, but what does it improve?

Re: html-forum.net // ajax o.O

with what i've noticed with AJAX is the APPEARANCE of the site and/or connection to the site is alot faster than it really is. not that PunBB needs this. wink

look at http://www.sortons.net

click on

"Forum" (not at the top menu, but the "red" menu on the right)

or click sur "derniers membres"

and you could see the powerful of Ajax smile

In this actual case, indeed Ajax is not needed, but with imagination, Ajax is really powerful (but if you "keep" the navigation of PunBB, Ajax is not impressive)

Re: html-forum.net // ajax o.O

I don't know if you talk about my stuff or html forum.net stuff smile

In my case, you need php files which can't be viewed by source smile

To show you the powerful of ajax > http://www.sortons.net/cpg www.sortons.net/photos > the same thing ... smile When you "try" Ajax, you have to "change" the actual vision of "how to surf" on a website.

If you can serve the data fast enough then it is very fast. its more noticable on mine i think ( http://connorhd.com/ajax/start.php ) also if you wanted you could send the data as xml and make it render on the user side, not sure what advantages that has but it might make smaller file sizes and maybe reduce server load as a bit of the "thinking" can be moved to the user.

Rod: Looks great Rod. However, when I click forum, it says "Chargement en cours" and then nothing happens.

I ment html forum stuff smile It's fine, I've managed to make it work, I took the JS and changed the templates so that the generater links alo generate tha JS code... It works like a charm...

Whe I finaly migrate my forum to punbb, think I'm gonna add a lite checkbox so people who care about back button functionality can disable JS fetching of content...

Re: html-forum.net // ajax o.O

I've always been interested in ajax since Chris Justus descrambled Google Suggest.  How does using a javascript wrapper like Connor is using affect search engine spidering?

Just curious - don't want to go that route and use a wrapper and lose the spidering capabilities

Re: html-forum.net // ajax o.O

The way i did it would completely kill spidering, the way flx did it will have no effect.

Re: html-forum.net // ajax o.O

@steve castle
i did it with onclick="goto('this.href');this.href='javascript:;'"

the goto funktion got the content of this.href+'&ajax' then.
in the header and footer i asked for the $ajax variable. if it was set, i only included the pun_page content
i replaced the content of the pun_page with the content i got via xhttprequest.

the href="" of the origin urls does not need to be touched so google has its links, too wink

Re: html-forum.net // ajax o.O

flx - So, is it possible to release something similar to the system you use to the general public?
