Show Thread Enhancements - lazy load, load your page faster & save bandwidth

this mod is using jquery lazy load by Mika Tuupola. you can see demo at his site here

Lazy Load will delay the loading of images outside of viewpoint to make the page load faster. That is, images in the visible part of the web page are only loaded and remaining images are loaded when visitor scrolls down the page, at some times it can even helps to save bandwidth.

in template headinclude, add this code at the bottom

  
<vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread'">
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.0/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>  
<script type="text/javascript" src="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/clientscript/jquery.lazyload.mini.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
      $(function() {
          $(".postbody img").lazyload({placeholder : "{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/clear.gif", effect: "fadeIn"});
      });
  </script>
</vb:if>

copy jquery.lazyload.mini.js to your <vb root>/clientscript/ folder


done!!!

I am not sure what you mean. I had 4.2.2 and had lots of problems. I won't be upgrading anytime soon as a result. My faith in vBulletin has been shaken a little bit.

Oh, I didn't know you had a version of your own. Can you please tell me how to use your's instead? Will I need to uninstall it?

[smirkley]

Tried to install and test, but no change and isnt operating for me.

vb v4.2.0pl3

tried with variations suggested.

note:am using pretty url's and "showthread" isnt part of the url anymore, tried with what does show on my threads, wondering if that is the problem.

[DemOnstar]

Can somebody please show me the difference or demonstrate the difference between:

Pretty urls
Advanced friendly urls (currently using)
Mod Rewrite Friendly URLs
Basic Friendly URLs

and

Standard URLs

What is best here and why all this choice?

Thank you....

[smirkley]

I shouldnt have used the phrase, "pretty", when all I meant was "Mod Rewrite" urls.
I think the pretty part is a wordpress phrase?

From the help link in acp:

Enabling friendly URLs can increase your site's ranking in search engines and can be useful for users to understand the URL's that they follow.

•Standard URLs:
showthread.php?t=12345

•Basic Friendly URLs:
showthread.php?1234-Thread-Title

•Advanced Friendly URLs:
showthread.php/1234-Thread-Title

•Mod Rewrite Friendly URLs:
threads/1234-Thread-Title

Note: In order to use the Mod Rewrite Friendly URLs the appropriate rewrite rules must be defined for your server.

Mod Rewrite requires htaccess tweaking.

[DemOnstar]

Much appreciated.. Thanks for that.

I will look into Mod Rewrite out of curiosity...
