cotonti.com : The wishlist https://www.cotonti.com Last topic posts Cotonti en Wed, 15 Apr 2026 05:33:43 -0000 Trustmaster #29611 fade2k:

After toying around a bit, I was thinking it would be nice to have list pages to act like the news plugin, giving a preview of articles as an option... same for list group as well. I personally like to be able to read a snipplet of articles before reading "more" lol.

Just my two cents.

Everything else in the wishlist looks pretty good, though I really feel that plugins/modules is the way to go for most things. Options are always good.

In Siena this is possible by using LIST_ROW_TEXT_CUT tag. Full tags list HOWTO is here.

However, a XMLRPC that pings RSS robots, like the one Wordpress has would be nice, but not a priority as I believe that being able to post news/posts that are visible tomorrow or in a weeks time and not having to push a button to make it visible is the way to go.]]> Tue, 31 Aug 2010 15:08:33 -0000 Lombi Tue, 31 Aug 2010 03:37:19 -0000 ez I am on a holiyday with a shitty connection over here..
If interested in my rloader project, see: http://code.google.com/p/rloader/

I agree that we have to reduce the number of http requests..

The way to go:
1) Combining js files is the first option to reduce the # js files.
2) Loading js and css files on demand (when they are truly needed) that's the second option.

See: http://developer.yahoo.com/yslow/ for some interesting reading about performance and some testing that Yahoo did.
Basically nr 1 in the list is: reduce the number of requests !!!!!

back soon.. Then me and urlkiller will start coding the pfs :)]]> Sun, 29 Aug 2010 21:47:33 -0000 urlkiller Sat, 28 Aug 2010 21:31:15 -0000 GHengeveld Sat, 28 Aug 2010 03:14:17 -0000 Trustmaster Fri, 27 Aug 2010 20:26:35 -0000 urlkiller maybe this could minimize some of the js codes in the header...?]]> Fri, 27 Aug 2010 19:26:33 -0000 GHengeveld
2. SEO is a big item, I think it should be made easier to use custom titles. We have the titles section in the config, but that could use a guide or tutorial. Also I think we should look into adding extra fields to the pages for setting keywords (maybe use tags?).

3. Defenitely not for the core, but some good plugins are welcome. My Twitti is outdated (no oauth). I have built an oauth twitter client recently but it needs to be converted to a plugin.

4. Agreed. Loading jQuery from Google has its advantages. Here are 3 reasons why you should let Google host jQuery for you. Actually I think this should not be hardcoded in the core, but in the skin. That way it's easy to replace.

5. The amount of seperate files can be reduced. I was never a big fan of markitup, taking that out will take care of 6 resource calls.

6. Will be taken care of by using resources.]]> Fri, 27 Aug 2010 17:53:04 -0000 urlkiller iam off!]]> Fri, 27 Aug 2010 07:22:52 -0000 Trustmaster
5. I think this will be affected by ticket #504.]]> Fri, 27 Aug 2010 04:16:33 -0000 aiwass
Exemple:
- Take the jquery file on cotonti.com it weighs 55.9kb and 55.9kb is transferred.
- Google Api's jQuery file on my website (url stated above) is 70.5kb but only 24.1kb is transferred, hence smaller footprint

5. To clarify the amount of javascript's loaded when accessing a page (logged in or not) is 8 + 2 extra CSS files + 1 inline script. All are added below. I think that this could be lowered by combining and maybe even eliminating small, unessential scripts that are loaded each time you enter a page on a Cotonti based website. A smaller footprint is the basic idea that I'm after. My site as pasted below is already "slimmed" as I have stripped away access fat. Load this page on this site and take a look on how many .js .css files you can find ( http://www.cotonti.com/docs/en/user/66 ). Get my point?

]]> Fri, 27 Aug 2010 02:18:34 -0000 urlkiller the system should be completly working without any external resources!!!

i.e. i load a facebook connect button on a site and somehow (sundays) the page load time slows down while the FB script is fired. letting the page load about 2 secs longer than normal. after moving all files to the core it isnt happend anymore. so i give a big bad --- for this idea! because i dont really like to modify the downloaded package everytime...

maybe there could be some sort of check-whats-the-newest-jquery-version and download it to the js/ dir on installation or in a future installation/deployment script?

Added 2 minutes later:

as for external APIs like FB connect etc. i dont really think thats good in the core.
this should be some sort of plugin...]]> Fri, 27 Aug 2010 00:35:47 -0000 Trustmaster FBConnect plugin. There are also some Twitter attempts already made.

4. Cotonti works in intranets too, not only internet. We can have a CDN option though. More pros for this would be appreciated.

5. Please clarify this point.]]> Fri, 27 Aug 2010 00:19:29 -0000 Kilandor Ticket #525

2. You can fully SEO for plugins. Though it may not be pretty in some cases(can't recall offhand, as i'm fairly sure it was set so all could be modified with variables)(but the developer has to do this) or you have to know how. As far as core plugins yes we should have them setup for SEO Ticket #526

3. This is a personal thing, Should only be a plugin. Sites of this nature tend to be fads and fade over time. Its really not best to put them in the core

4. Again this is something personal. The benefits are small, less bandwidth used for your server. And for client visiting sites that use it, it might be already cached for them.

5. I would not think it should be much of an issue

6 This is already done various core resources exist in system/resources.php (in the turnk)

I've added a ticket for both 1 and 2(I closed your as it was not really valid in its format)]]> Thu, 26 Aug 2010 22:42:10 -0000 urlkiller
I would never load external sources like that google apis in huge projects!
so i would like to see that stays in.

all other looks very well thought!]]> Thu, 26 Aug 2010 19:48:42 -0000 aiwass No ranking of the below listed pointers. Just came up with them in this order.

1. When validating a page that has a future date set as both Date & Begin date, then it shall not appear anywhere on the "public" side of the website. But, will "pop-up" when the time and date is due. This is so that one can trigger news to be released without needing to click any button for it to release. I.e. Post future news/pages.

2. Full SEO support for Plugins with Title, Subtitle and Description support. All traffic is pulled today into pages but not in plugins like tags, search, events etc. This need to be changed.

3. More easily integration with Facebook & Twitter. Become more flexible and allow for visitors to share content.

4. Use CDN based jQuery instead of local file ( http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js )

5. Use less javascript that is loaded in pages. 10+ javascript calls today.

6. Pull all reference to images out of the core and place them in skins. Allows for greater creativity by owners. For exemple: arrow-right.gif & arrow-left.gif that are defined in core.

These are my thoughts of things that need to be changed and improved for a even better framework. As a webmaster for a large website, these are things that need to be addressed.]]> Thu, 26 Aug 2010 18:06:58 -0000
