Shoutcast radio on Vbulletin forum

Even if using AJAX, the whole page is reloaded when you move on to another page. This does not solve the problem. The most practical solution would be to use frames.

Hi,

Yes, what can be done is to rename the index.php and then to but another index.php which devised the site into frames and the topframe would be the radio en below that would be the radio... but the problem is when using frames, and you go back to the first page, the player get's reloaded again and again and again... so you will have several players and that is terrible..

Any idea how to make this work ?

Thanks.

It should only reload in the frame, so I don't get what you're saying. What is the "first page"?

Not sure what you're saying but I'm going to take a stab. I'm assuming you're going on about building a frame into your index.php and that when you're on a thread or anything and click back to the head of the forum three, it reloads the entire page w/ a frame in it as well?

If that's correct, here's what I would do. Write yourself a page(radio.php or something) that has a frame loading your index. On the navbar somewhere, add an link for radio that would link to the page(radio.php) using frames. You'll obviously need to name your frame and set targets, but if I'm correct once you're browsing in a frame it uses itself as the target unless specified otherwise.

As for the mention of AJAX and the bottom bar on Face Book. It IS possible to keep the bar alive like that, however I don't think there is any easy way of implementing that into vbb. I've researched this idea for almost a week now (I wanted a bar to load a music player, IRC and an AJAX IM I'm writing at the bottom of my forums) and some of the industries leading developers are scratching their head on how they make it work. The theory is that the links in facebook send an http request to the server to update XML which is then reloaded. So you're not really browsing page to page? You're just reloading XML data via AJAX hence the bar itself isnt reloading. However, it is all very sketchy as this AJAX Im project is the first thing I've taken on in that language. Point is, you'd have to completely rebuild vbb to use XML and AJAX and that would be an epic feat.
