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!!!

Installed, although as the original author stated on his site...

http://www.appelsiini.net/projects/lazyload/

He does not believe this will completely work with more modern browser.

Also I would recommended the following....

1) Change the JQuery version number from:

PHP Code:

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> 


To 1.5.0 for a faster load time and improved browser support.

PHP Code:

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.0/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> 


2) If your community already does load JQuery.... There is no reason to load it more then 1x. So you can be safe to edit it out (remove) JQuery in the authors code.
