random musing mode....
idea! had to write it down before putting down for the nite..
the protocol should not only be JSON (leaner), but also only return changes, based upon either last shout id or time.. the way process control does it..
this cuts the xmlhttprequest traffic size down considerably. also, the ajax server(s) should be one file, so that it has a better chance of staying in the php cache as a unit. also easier to maintain one piece of ajaxshoutserver.php code..
drawback.. added branching in the server file.. minimal (imo)
weird idea.. add proxy capability for cross-site / multiple joined shouts in one..
ie site1 + site2 .... siten all serving up to same shout UI..
keep in mind: load!
convert fully to yui.. add effects for new shouts.. fade in.. etc.. not sure yet..
global / personalized wallop menus.. menus need to be ul, li and NOT table, tr, td!
longer history for shouts.. ie ability to search back further than just 30 or whatever..
urls, imgs..
admin cpanel for FULL setup and customization...
possible full page reload interval, so adverts get more hits..
colorized names, like in showflat.. admin, mod, whatever..
dynamic resizing with handles, using yui..
set mode -v
bleh.. that's it.. brain dump over ..
