Hi,
The Jot snippet has good potential to add ajax features to it. I added &ajax [1|0] parameter as a new parameter to this snippet. Now by this version user can submit comment use all parts by ajax.

I have not changed the main codes, i've just added a javascript file to jot/templates directory and about 20 lines to main class of Jot snippet.

For ajax commenting,
You must put your Jot call in a container which has id attribute and DO NOT put your Jot FORM in any container! or give a container to snippet for printing data, see jot/ajax_config.html.


If &placeholders is on, ajax Jot only updates placeholders below:

Code:

[+jot.html.form+]
[+jot.html.comments+]
[+jot.html.moderate+]
[+jot.html.navigation+]
[+jot.html.subscribe+]

for getting output, you must put each placeholder in a container that has id attribute and get IDs to Jot, for do that see jot/ajax_config.html.


You can also create a dynamic form tpl that sets a ajax form with necessary data when &ajax=`1` and sets a non-ajax form when &ajax=`0` by PHx, see jot/ajax_config.html and jot/templates/chunk.form.inc.html.


Note: There is an javascript error when using ajax commenting in Internet Explorer 6 and unfortunately i can't find it. So ajax commenting does not work in IE6   but it works well in browsers i've tested:  Firefox3, Opera9.52, Chrome0.2.149.27 (Chrome uses Apple webkit processors so probably Safari output is same as Chrome)
But in current version if you use IE6, &ajax will be disabled!



Thanks

Great Idea. I know it is a short horizon but I think this would make a great addition to the 0.9.6.3 release if it could be tested quickly.

[rthrash]

Would need to be added to the demo content too. There's always 0964 or Evo though

[dev_cw]

Very cool indeed, thanks. I will give it a test drive as soon as I get some time and report any issues.

Amir, Excellent contribution! 

Ryan, I remember that modxhost theme doesn't pass the W3C test, Why not using something that represents all the built-in features of 0.9.6 series and passes the W3C test?

[rthrash]

Time, effort and re-testing. And secret plans for the future stuff.

[AHHP]

It seems nobody has downloaded it or test it because i found out that the last JS codes that i added to scripts before uploading, made error and the ajax commenting did not work!

Anyway i fixed it and upgraded the snippet, now there is possible to use all actions by ajax.

Please test it and report bugs,

Can't wait get from this work computer and try!! I love Jot and with ajax to it... 

You have any demo page somewhere? 

[AHHP]

I solved the problems and completed the script, Now All actions are AJAX. Please test it.

You have any demo page somewhere? 

I will create it soon

This works like a charm. Took a little to get it working but WOW! Thanks for this.

Does this fall back to non-ajax form in IE6? and still posts the comment?

Thank you Zi, it can cover problem with IE6.
So in current attached Jot, if user use IE6, &ajax will be 0.

Can't get it work with input buttons with type="image", + if captcha is enabled there is error on refresh captcha link with example form

[AHHP]

This hack only gets data from form by JS and sends it to Jot files and display results it means all processes are same as when &ajax=0

Can't get it work with input buttons with type="image"

The JS use an element which has id="ajax_jot" and onclick="ajax_comment('submit');" so it is not important that what the element is. it can be button, link, a simple word, an image or etc.

if captcha is enabled there is error on refresh captcha link with example form

What error you get on refreshing captcha?

Hi,

I like the idea of this, how I install it? Is it just a case of replacing the current Jot snippet code with the new code?

It should be only this, but you will have to test it before changing the calls on the live page.

... and read .html file in package.

When you are 11 comments, and found 10 per page, there is a transition on the pages, in IE 8 problem, there is "Loading Please wait ...." and so many times each time you press the transition between pages is not happening.
Maybe you know how to correct?
