Add comments without reloading?
My site, each article consists of 30 ~ 45 pictures plus text. When you add a new comment, the page is reloaded and pictures are loaded again.
How to solve this problem?
Make it somehow without rebooting (ajax).
However, I understand that bad.
Do not use the commenting system similar disqus, cackle, …

Re: Add comments without reloading?
comments_display form, using jQuery:
<h2 id="<txp:text item="comment" />"><txp:comments_invite textonly="1" showalways="1" showcount="0" /></h2>
<txp:comments />
<div id="cwrapper">
<txp:if_comments_allowed>
<txp:if_comments_preview>
<div id="cpreview"><txp:comments_preview /></div>
</txp:if_comments_preview>
<txp:comments_form isize="25" msgcols="45" msgrows="15" />
<txp:else />
<p><txp:text item="comments_closed" /></p>
</txp:if_comments_allowed>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$("#cwrapper").on("click", "#txpCommentPreview", function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
var form = $("#txpCommentInputForm");
var post = $.merge([{name : "preview", value : "Preview"}], form.serializeArray());
$("#cwrapper").load(form.attr("action")+" #cwrapper>*", post);
});
});
</script>Last edited by etc (2013-10-16 18:19:01)

this is not normal!
Normally, the images should be loaded from the browser cache.

Re: Add comments without reloading?
As sacripant says, images should be cached by the browser on first load. Then any subsequent loads the images are fetched from cache not downloaded again (until you empty the cache or the cache rules expire).
You can adjust caching rules in your .htaccess file, see here for some handy tips
To be honest any decent web server setup should already have fairly adequate caching rules in place, but stating them yourself won’t hurt.

Re: Add comments without reloading?
About the cache is good, but I had wanted to do this without rebooting.
etc
I replaced the code within the form comments_display. But page still reloads.
Maybe I’m doing something wrong…

You should listen for form submit events instead of individual button clicks.
If you go for Ajax comment submissions, you can also remove the preview step too; automate it. Fetch the preview form contents, send that form, update comments list. Oh, and when you do this (fetch DOM, insert it into the DOM), make sure your page doesn’t have inline JavaScript, as it would be executed again if inserted in the DOM, which then will break the page.

You have to include jQuery first, for example in <head>:
<!-- shouldn't use the latest, but I don't care -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>Gocom wrote:

That’s true, but serializeArray() does not include submit type inputs, so we have to detect somehow which button was clicked. If you know an easy way to detect what form data will be submitted before the submission occurs, I’m interested. Anyway, when a form is submitted, some click event is triggered (on the first button?). One could replace $("#cwrapper").on("click", "#txpCommentPreview", ...) by $("#cwrapper").on("click", "input[type='submit']", ...) if needed:
$("#cwrapper").on("click", "input[type='submit']", function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
var form = $("#txpCommentInputForm");
var post = $.merge([{name : event.target.name, value : event.target.value}], form.serializeArray());
$("#cwrapper").load(form.attr("action")+" #cwrapper>*", post);
});If you go for Ajax comment submissions, you can also remove the preview step too; automate it. Fetch the preview form contents, send that form, update comments list.
That wasn’t required in the OP.

The script is outside $("#cwrapper").

It contains all inputs from the form; it could never be used to detect which button is clicked as its not event driven.

Depends what is primary action, and given that you do default to different action. Do primary on submit, others on click. Or trigger submit on click, change behavior on click and continue to submit etc. For instance you could pass variable from click handler to submit and change the submit handlers action, or toggle the event handlers off/on. E.g.
var form = $('form');
form.on('click', '#submit-poop', function ()
{
form.data('step', 'save');
});
form.on('click', '#preview-poop', function ()
{
form.data('step', 'preview');
});
$('form').on('submit', function (e)
{
if (form.data('step') === 'save')
{
return; // skip;
}
e.preventDefault();
$.ajax({urlandstuff}).done(function ()
{
// Loaded; change default action to save.
form.data('step', 'save');
});
});Anyway, when a form is submitted, some click event is triggered (on the first button?)
Click event is executed as you are clicking a button. The click event is ran before submit and the preventDefault() just prevents the normal normal click behavior, cutting the chain before submit.
$(“#cwrapper”).on(“click”, “input[type=‘submit’]”, …)
Doesn’t that attach the event to both Preview and Submit buttons, tho. That is using bubbling (listens on #cwrapper, filters based on event.target). If you are willing to listen both actions, you may also have to add some code to load the resulting comment list and thank you message.
That wasn’t required in the OP.
Just a suggestion what you could do, not commenting on your code in any shape or form.
The script is outside $(“#cwrapper”).
In general, meaning all scripts, not yours specifically.
