[Request Name]
AJAX

[Description]
When I mark an episode as "seen" or "aquired" or when I want to expand a show and see its episodes, instead of reloading the whole page it should load the part with AJAX

[Target URL]
All-In-One!

That would indeed be quite slick, however abit unneeded because the server is quite fast. And the quick check page allows you to mark multiple episodes at once before reloading the page.

i actually logged in to post a request for that exactly, i think ajax would be a great improvement because it's very annoying that every time you click a '+' on the left side of a show the whole page reloads.

Thanks for posting that request,
hope MyEpisodes will get that working soon.

Ajax would take too long to code, but how about using anchor refs (#name) to autojump the page to the plus/minus, and the seen, and acquired links (all the Operation links actually)?

Not really.

But we will still have to wait for the page to load...

I also noticed that AJAX would be useful, especially for pluses and a/s on all-in-one. It is not urgent and critical, but when time allows, it would be very nice to have.

And you have to wait for the ajax to load. It's not that different. It's a bit faster, but not that much.

My All-In-One page takes 3.78 secs to load.

And a short AJAX request (with DB queries) takes no more than 1 sec.

It is A LOT faster. And I am talking with my own experience.

Even more, if the data returned by the AJAX request is in JSON it will be even faster...

Where did you get the number 3.78?

On the bottom of the page it says:

Page loaded in 0.687895 seconds

For me anyway, and I have lots of things on my all in one.

And what are you talking about with json? Why would that be faster? You would have to run the javascript to turn it into html. Or don't use json and the server could make the html directly.

But why would json be faster? Faster than what?

Have you actually programmed any ajax, or are you going by what you read about it?

Ajax can be faster, but the difference is not dramatic.

Look, ajax would be really cool for the site. I'm not saying it's not. But it does take time to program, and for this site, I don't think it's worth the time.

It's obviously up to the coder, but unless he wants to do ajax for fun, or as a learning experience, I'm not expecting it.

I got it from FireBug. The 0.687895 is the time that took to the PHP engine to process it.

JSON is a way to erase structural data so the ajax request takes less time.

Yes, I have.

I don't agree with you. It may be not dramatic but it still may be a reason for users to search for another site.

+1 for this feature. I might be out of the norm but I only use the All in One Page and rarely ever use quickcheck.

What makes this tricky is the use of filters. It would be real easy to get the "Save status" functionality work with ajax, but then an ajax script would have to refresh the list as well.

Actually... a JQuery function which refreshes the filters could be useful to reduce page reloads, it also would reduce server load a little bit, and could work with ajax status saves...

I also really want this! It's really annoying that it goes up when you click, for me it's totally not eye candy. I think the feature all-in-one is great but I would use it so much more and save so much time and anger if it wouldn't jump up every time.
I don't know what ajax is so I don't care how it's done as long as it's done Very Happy

And you have to wait for the ajax to load. It's not that different. It's a bit faster, but not that much.
even if its not that faster, since AJAX requests are asynchronous, you can click on many checkboxes and do all the work in a pseudo-multi-threaded way.

Have you done much programming?

It's not so complicated, the thing is I'm not into PHP, am an ASP.NET guy, but fixing an jQuery ajax call when clicking in whatched checkbox should take around 2 minutes. or less.

The thing is to get the serverside code to make the save.

The thing is that it should be a huge performance, both for user and server, since you at most need to send back a "1" for success, or "0" for fail, approx 5 bytes with the returning JSON.

The technique now of sending back the whole page will (for True Blood) return 52 652 byte

So not using an jQuery AJAX call will transmit 10.530 times more (already sent) information just to make a single save.

IMHO is that everyone will make a much more and better experience with the page.

Ajax Is the best for improve UI and easiness to use.

But need recode a part of the site in JavaScript and PhP... (even it's can be make in few time with framework (like JQuery))

I probably misspoke.

I said maybe in a V2, I am not part of the team myepisodes.com so it is only speculation ...

But I am available to assist in programming either in JavaScript or PHP ... Wink
