Crazy template idea

[noname8]

Has anyone tried to make a websitebaker template that lists all the page conent, but each one in a hidden div ?

So that the whole page is fully loaded and no page refresh is needed anymore. Clicking the menu links would only show/hide specific divs that contains specific page.

It would be crucial that backed would work just like before and gets no harder - also newly added pages are shown in the template

This would be no problem - but ask Google, what it thinks about hidden content.

Indeed technically no problem, and also no problem for Google. It's done all the time with jQuery toggle/visibility functions.

This would be test to be used with extranet only - no seo needed, but superfast page load is needed

ok i think i know the jquery part, but how about the php part in the template to loop & echo all the content ?

Building the nav and making the [wblinks] to work will be a huge problem also

Idea:

Keep the page structure as you would do with a normal site, use showsection droplet as base idea to ask for the content, make the menu react with the section number that is used in showsection droplet.

Do not turn on sections so that pagenumbers and section numbers will have the same number, showmenu refers to page id and you need to refer to section id

It will be hell to alter the showmenu2 module but somehow you will have to change it to not go to another page but in stead show / hide sections or change the needed section number

Perhaps with jquery it would be easy to loop trough all the links in navbar and change thei behavior.
bind(click) swhowpagediv_id(...
So no need to fork php of showmenu2. Didn't even think of sections..that will be tricky also..

What you think about is what the old "Rooms"-Template does. All pages shown in one page. But vertical, not horizontal.

I think I would start with something like http://www.twospy.com/galleriffic, I think you can put it <?php page_content; ?> into the divs and the thumbnails could be your menu, nice thing is that it can create Bookmarkeble urls so you can link straight to a single page..


This crazy idea keeps me thinking I would like to achieve this too...

What about publishing in relative div-sections and show/hide em... been busy with it a while ago, this example includes 3 php files, but the divs can also contain "content()"..
