vb.org Archive - [AJAX] vBShout v2.0

I know I read about problems with the shout box in Safari but can't locate the fix(s).

Buddy of mine just installed the shout Box and when I view in Safari I get this huge shout box.

The other problem is that the shouts don't register unless I refresh or it takes a minute or more. I mean it's AJAX right? Shouldn't that work fine in Safari or is there a setting or something that has to be clicked on?

I tried it in FF and it works fine on his site.

Isn't there a fix for the large shout box AND what's the deal with the slowness. I really need this hack but it has to work in Safari for me.

Any help or direction would be appreciated.

Any help on this guys? :cross-eyed:

I believe safari has problems with ajax and javascript actually.

Ajax is bit pretty well into it so in short you'd be coding a completely different mod if you were to do that. Don't get me wrong it would be possible but i would need ZT's permission...

That doesn't sound right...

Most of vB is built around AJAX -- all the inline posting, editing, modding etc is AJAX -- right? It all works fine in Safari.

But this hack doesn't. And then there is the issue of the huge shout box that expands to about 10 inces... :eek:

Isn't there a fix for the slowness and the large box (thought I read about it somewhere).

I really like it but it has to be functional in Safari.

The slowness has nothing to do with AJAX and really cannot be fixed, it is a network speed/utilization issue, not an AJAX coding problem.

I don't think you understand how AJAX works (and to be honest, this mod is not a very good choice to demonstrate what AJAX is supposed to be used for).

The shouts only refresh every few seconds because that is the refresh interval defined in the code. If you lessen it you will see the shouts faster but you will dramatically increase load and network utilization. If you are running this on a shared server then your service provider will probably shut you down. If you are on a dedicated server, the ISP may complain to you about the bandwidth utilization or try and charge you for the usage.

Again, this really isn't a very good demonstration of what AJAX is for, it has dynamic content and must be fully refreshed by all browsers every interval, so the fact that the whole page doesn't reload is nice but could be accomplished with iframes or something else.

If you understand RSS, this is the equivalent of turning your RSS reader up to check a news source every 5 seconds. There isn't much you can do to optimize this if 100 people are sitting on your homepage watching the shouts go by.
