Suggestion for PolyLoop - Polyloop

Nate Owens · 27th July 2007, 03:07

Not sure where to post this, but will try it here.

One small annoyance I have with Polyloop is having to scroll all the way to the top of (sometimes long) pages to get to the navigation bar - the one that says Home - Forum - Gallery, etc. - a simple solution would be to put that part and the polyloop header (orange thingy) in a frame. This works on my site and I've seen it on many others. Keeps the navigation tools to the site in easy access for the visitors. The pages scroll up under the navigation bar - it stays put.

Yes please!

Thomas · 27th July 2007, 11:50

The forum organisation will be rework very soon, with still some scrolles, but less I hope.
FYI, I won't use frames, it's not good for the navigation (some back features of some browsers quit the website and go to the previous url...)

Would it be possible to have a "go to top" button in the message panel, maybe next to the quote icon? This isn't what was asked for, but it might be an okay compromise.

There is one at the bottom. It's a pull-down menu that says Forum Jump.

I just added a "top" link in all post infobar (the orange one with the post date)

crazy wabbit · 28th July 2007, 13:33

Thomas is there a unsubscribe button as well? Sometimes I have to do that from my emails when I get a reply to a post.

laughingnome · 28th July 2007, 15:17

The Top link works fine Thomas

neat.

Good solution, Thomas

jawra · 28th July 2007, 19:05

The best working buttons for me are HOME,END,PG_UP,PG_DOWN on my keyboard.

crazy wabbit · 30th July 2007, 15:38

Here is a tip for scrolling up and down a long page.

Hit space bar (Down)

Shift Sapce bar (up)

Well, I don't know how much control over the site you have, assuming you are using a CMS, but you could use a CSS trick within a DIV to enable scrolling within the div. Then you can then place the top area like normal then use a div below with the CSS scrolling set and have JavaScript to collect data as to what the screen resolution of the viewer is and resize the div (with the scrolling) to match the screen (or window) resolution height minus the amount for the top area. This will make the page look like frames, but it is all one page.

The "Top" Link in infobar is convenient.

BTW, I didn’t notice this function (attached below) at all up to now.

“AMAPI PRO 8” style is so fresh.

Thomas · 1st August 2007, 09:27

Style isn't done, that's whay I didn't announced it yet

The navbar isn't done and some styles to edit. I also have to update all the forum engine with the last version, then I will do it all at the same time.

Varsel · 1st August 2007, 18:33

If I might jump in with another litle thing.

What about a links page. Where one could find external links to things like blueprints, softwaremakers, pluggins etc....

Sorry to hijacking this post...

I didn’t know Amapi.net style was so.

Thank you for pointing it out, stu.

Thomas · 3rd August 2007, 10:01

Stu : it's a new style, even if it's inspired by the original Amapi.net style I made a long time ago

(it's not the same forum engine)
