Using the BoxOver popup script and the title tag, this simple mod displays the bbcode-formatted post in a popup on the viewforum page (the last post) and the forum search page (for each result) when hovering over the post.
See it here (viewtopic) and here (forum search). Download it here (free registration required).The nukeSEO Mouse Hover Topic BoxOver forums mod includes easy instructions and the BoxOver 2.1 script. It displays the bbcode-formatted post and filters bad words so the popup will look just like the viewtopic page. Users will save time by seeing a forum post before selecting it on the viewforum and forum search pages.
This mod is only for PHP-Nuke distributions and has not been submitted to or approved by the phpBB mods directory.
It is based on the Mouse Hover Topic Preview forums mod by Shannado, modified for PHP-Nuke by Dauthus.
Re: nukeSEO Mouse Hover Topic BoxOver forums mod (Score: 1) | ![]() | I can see where that might be handy. But, I'm wondering how the page load times have increased? Since the browser already has to have all the post's text rendered as opposed to only having to render a title? |

I haven't noticed any significant issues. The details are loaded in the same SQL statement (although it's got one more table) and the JS is loaded once per page - and it's much smaller than similar tools that use custom HTML tags. You're right: there is some extra PHP processing to format the HTML, so I suppose that could be significant for forums that display thousands of topics or search results on a single page... Like everything else, it's a trade off. If you decrease server load by giving extra information on the first page, you save server load by not loading unnecessary pages. Is it worth a few milliseconds on the initial load? I think so. |
