[RFC|Merged] AJAX

[Senky]

AJAX? What for? Simple log-out confirm box is enough, but it does not need AJAX...

[Meis2M]

you right. jquery is enough. like " book mark & subscribe Topics"

[Senky]

BTW, "marking topics in forum read" here marks them read, but does not remove all those icons signing new posts in topics. I think it is not a big deal to remove them (especially via jQuery selectors) and it would be much better I think. Like real ajax, because I do not see real point in marking them read, but page will remain the same and if I want to see the changes, I need to reload whole page (what is also suggestion in pop-up)...

Hello,
+1 for the RFC
+1 for inline

I would be nice if a phpBB AJAX documentation for MOD authors would be available then the first beta of Ascraeus is released. So we (MOD athors) will have a chance to use it.

Hello Callum,
Sorry, I red the whole discussion and could not find any information. Maybe you should add a related advice to the first post in this topic.

Indeed, please link to the relevant documentation from this RFC.

This isn't necessarily the case here (since we require a session ID on the logout link), but AJAX confirmation boxes can add to CSRF protection, while plain JS boxes do not.

ok completely love the new features this brings to phpbb, but why was the screen after posting left as is rather than having the post updated via ajax or something after using the quick editor. I would redirect them to the post page why do they need a separate load event to simply ask if they wish to return to the index or the post. If this needs to be a seperate RFC now thats fine I just did not want to make the request if reason was already given not to.

I actually complained about that. The post is actually loaded/updated in the background, behind the modal, in the case of approving a post or topic. Not sure what the point was of still having a box that gives the user options of where to go, which is "ok", but selecting either one, even the "Return to post/topic" one, reloads the entire page? Dumb...
