Hi,
Can someone tell me how to put a "Loading Please wait" gif between page loads, just like the one here

Thanks

Here's a challenge.......

I have a client that wants a random "Did you know" quote on the transition page. He's not bothered by the standard format he just wants a random quote for people to read while they move from one page to the next.....which I think is a great idea.

Any ideas??

Marty.

Trie this but it didn't work. I guess the problem is the scripts makes a call to a function, which should be included with the javascript to be inserted in theme.html.

Tried a little tweaking but I could not understand the script in the website which uses this. (http://www.power-dreams.com/xoops/)

Neat idea though since there are times when loading a page takes some time. Maybe someone can explain a little more?

The easiest way:
modify xoops/modules/system/templates/system_redirect.html
by adding one line
<{php}>OpenWaitBox();<{/php}>


<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<{$xoops_charset}>" />
< meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="<{$time}>; url=<{$url}>" / >
<title><{$xoops_sitename}>title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="<{$xoops_themecss}>" />
head>
<body>
<div style="text-align:center; background-color: #EBEBEB; border-top: 1px solid #FFFFFF; border-left: 1px solid #FFFFFF; border-right: 1px solid #AAAAAA; border-bottom: 1px solid #AAAAAA; font-weight : bold;">
    <h4><{$message}>h4>
    [b][color=FF0000]<{php}>OpenWaitBox();<{/php}>[/color][/b]
    <p><{$lang_ifnotreload}>p>
div>
<{if $xoops_logdump != ''}><div><{$xoops_logdump}>div><{/if}>
body>
html>


The effect

Great! will try your suggestion.

I did some search and here's what i came up with (maybe considered as another option):

1. in the head section of theme.html:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">


SCRIPT>


2. add this line in the body tag:
<body [b][color=006600]onLoad="clearPreloadPage()[/color][/b] ;">


3. add right after above line:

<div id="prepage" style="position:absolute; font-family:arial; font-size:16; left:300px; 
top:70px; background-color:none; layer-background-color:none; height:100%; width:40%;"> 
<table width=100%><tr><td>
<font color="#000000">&nbsp;&nbsp;  Loading ...... Please wait.font><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="<{$xoops_imageurl}>/images/await.gif" alt="" />td>tr>table>
div>


Change the appropriate elements as needed.

One note though, sometimes the preloader remains visible after the whole page is can be seen (probably as a result of other javascripts still loading images). this has been the case with my site at http://oragonrepublic.com, particularly in the homepage - other pages worked as expected. to partly solve this, the black font color was chosen so the message would not be visible once the header part appears since the bg is also black.

Credit for the script belongs to original author(s)(modifications added). Source Website : http://www.usingit.com/

Cool, but this works only with the log in/log out part, how can be applied to all loadings, switching from news to download, forums, smartmedia, smartfaq etc. ?

to fbb803: And your sollution doesnt look good, it comes on the top of the page, not in the center like power-dreams.com who will see it somewhere aroung the page...

All forks who was created on the top of XOOPS show it (the loading bar) in the center of the page, no mater wich module are u trying to select, but XOOPS nope, dosent support it
