Hello, all!
As the GSoC coding period is going to start soon, I am trying to make a list of all the possible areas which have to be AJAXified the most. Basing upon the list, I will be opening tickets on the tracker, which will be fixed during the coding period. So, I request you all to give suggestions about the places that can constitute this list. Please feel free to mention about the interfaces which you want to see AJAXified. Your feedback will be of great help to me!
I came up with a list which I feel, contains all the basic actions which everyone wants to get AJAXified.
Thank you

if you go this surprises me, is a compilation of all we present NEEDS ateriores version.. If you include all that will be something special
That's all very well but needed to be quick chat and if we can incorporate games as itcomes out of concept ..
@ghumanz
The AJAXification of tabs on a user profile will definitely reduce the server load a lot. It will be included in the list. Thanks for suggesting.
@Mike
Thanks for suggesting a list of whole new ideas!
@elf Pavlik
I will be implementing it as a plugin, the plugin can be immediately disabled in case an error occurs.
need a chat
@ Ravindra Nath thanks to accept my suggestions.
As I feel one more option will help a lot to increase user interest and reduce server load is here:-
If you add this prev blog and next blog option on blog read page and ajaxify these. Then it will save a lot of end user time to open next blog , reduce server load as well and provide more appropriate option to every blog reader.
There's one feature that I think would be huge. An ability to refresh view - and only this single view - with use of AJAX.
This feature can be used to implement auto-refresh for comments, forums, pagination etc. It can be used for much more as well and would be great feature on it's own.
<?php
$vars = array(
'ajax' => true,
'token' => 'security token generated here',
'ajax_parameters' => array('param1', 'param2'),
);
echo elgg_view('view_name', $vars);
?>
<scrpit type="javascript/text">
elgg_refresh_view('view_name',{param1:paramvalue, param2:paramvalue});
</script>
Moreover, this mechanism can be used to eg. refresh one single entity on the listing after it's edited with a lightbox.
@Mike
I guess this can be implemented using the current ajax/view mechanism and there's a ticket on trac (#3228) for writing a js function to fetch a view.
@ghumanz
I think I have to make some modifications to the blog plugin code to add those options to it. (Correct me If I am wrong). This is a feature above ajaxification, so feel free to open a ticket in the tracker for the core devs to lookafter it.
I summarized all the above suggestions into a list, as it will be easy for me to transform them into tickets which will be opened on my repository's tracker. I will try to close as many as possible during my GSoC coding period.
