ajax?

[sahtor]

cron execution? of what sort? I wouldn't think that a cron would have to be called by Javascript since it's already being called when you load the page via php.

But calling one in a big board means your browser says the page didn't load 100% until all the cron is done.

If you have a cron that big, you should cut it down... it shouldn't be calling so many queries that it takes that long... it should only take a couple seconds at the most.
php and MySQL are very fast... usually taking less than a second do run an entire page.

I think then AJAX in phpBB is interesting, but it relative, if you apply AJAX in the View Online List, your traffic will be increase considerably.

Thank you for the explanations what AJAX really is.

Well- phpBB3 is using AJAX I think right now. The new Permission system is looking very much like using it (as seen by a user, I mean.)

Hmm... your correct.
They use it on the old permission system as well.

If you get these unofficial mods working, you should consider getting them qualified as official mods for phpbb3 when time comes. I for one would love to have these features you mentioned.

We intend to, we've got a sourceforge project called TheVR, we're hoping to make a sort of fork that is really a collection of mods that hopefully will be able to make it to the official phpbb3 mod list.

Don't think there is any point releasing our phpbb2 mods. Would have to support it...

No, the new permission system does not use AJAX.
It just uses Javascript to switch the categories (post, content, actions, misc and polls) for the user groups, but there is no requesting of any content with AJAX.

Only good ajax-features I've seen have been cron-execution without browser status loading... and the edit button already mentioned in this thread.

voting in polls with ajax would be nice. no page reload to confirm the vote.

Wow. Does no one understand the difference between AJAX and plain Javascript. The last time I tried to examine it, ajax wasn't very feasible without a lot of modification, but the new template system may make it easier.

BTW: Its not ajax unless there is javascript and stuff being asynchronously (ex/ seemlessly) sent from your browser to the server within the page..

[edit] yay. the poster above me does. ajax poll voting WOULD be awesome. Ajax quick reply would also be awesome, but that could be a mod.

hehe! my bad!
I just know the page doesn't reload... I didn't think through what it actually does
I just got finished building an AJAX chat script.
Next up on my ajax to-do list is the quick reply.
