Ajaxed Status Module in a new page?

[linkcitypro]

Hello,

I have spent a lot of time converting the Status module into Ajax, not all the functionality of the original status module has been converted yet but it's about 80% complete. Currently, I have the status module sitting inside a layer on top of the main page. I have it like this because its easy to get to it for testing purpose but I REALLY want to have this in its own page accessible from the top menu.

Can you tell me how I can move status_list.tpl into its own page? Kinda like how Video Ferret is?

Some of the features of my modified status modules include the following:

1. Get your own status updates and your friend status updates via AJAX i.e. without having to reload a page everytime.
2. See your friend's wall or status page. Like twitter, you can click on any users name and visit their wall. There you can choose to follow them. This is also done without reloading of the page.
3. You also have friend's icons in the right sidebar like twitter, it shows your friend's icons. On clicking the icon, you go to that user's wall and have the option to send him/her a message. If this is a user that is not your friend, you will have an option to Follow them. Similarly there will be a No Follow option for your existing friends.
4. Hide, Delete also do not require a page reload. Simply click on hide or delete and that status will disappear via Ajax from the status page and will be adjusted in the DB without ever reloading the page.
5. Submitting status update is also done via Ajax with results refreshed without ever having to leave the page.
6. Search and the results are also shown via Ajax, its faster because you never have to reload the page.
7. Anytime there is a @username in the status message, it will be changed to link to users wall. When you click on that link you go directly to the users wall without having to reload the page.

These are just a few changes that I have made so far. I am trying to keep the core functionality intended for this module. The most important thing left to do is Pagination and then it is pretty much done.

I would really appreciate if you can tell me how to move status_list.tpl to its own page. If you want to check out this module in action, you can take a look at http://linkcity.tv and login using username: squidup and password: squidup. The Wall button is on the left side of the page. Don't be surprised if at time it's doing something weird, it's because i'm still working on it. This is one of my test sites.

i am not a tech guy, so cannot help you. i just went through ur work. i think your idea of bring it to its own page will be great

I mean I can always hardcode it in the template for my own installation but it want it so it can work with any template. Just like other standard pages do.

Anyone know how I can put this module in its own page like Video_ferret?

Please let me know

As I am the author of the video ferret module I can probably tell you that the status update module probably wouldn't work all too well as it's own individual page. I'm not saying it's not possible. I'm just saying that it's not something that someone here is going to be able to provide you with in just a few lines of code.
It would take multiple new files. This would require a great amount of time. Developers would want to be compensated for their time. You won't find a developer that is going to spend 3 or more days customizing a paid module for free.

Chuckroast,

If you see my version of this module, you will see that I have spend extensive amount of time modifying it. Please take a look at http://linkcity.tv, login as username: squidup, password: squidup. Play around with it and you will see that I am pretty good with following code but I just need a little bit of direction, Not asking anyone to give me the code because I am sure I'll be able to code it myself once I am pointed in the right direction.

Since you mentioned paid module, do you think I can sell this version of the module in cooperation with Pligg perhaps as one user mentioned, in an income sharing mode. Please let me know. As I told that user that I cannot give out my version of the module for free because Pligg already has a status update module for sale. I cannot take away from Pligg. Please take a look and let me know your thoughts and any suggestions.

Thanks,
Azam
