web page preloader

Is there some plugin or something to acheive the same or similar effect like in the manager...

when I click on some link on the page, it outputs me a preloader..


hope you understand

I’m not quite following your request Mproject. Do you mean the preview tab when editing pages?

You would need to learn some Ajax.

See the documentation of your favorite javascript framework. The modx manager uses mootools, but it’s an old version.

Try the new version for mootools or maybe jquery.

No, i mean something to show "loading" while the page is loading...

for better understanding, see the screenshow below

That’s what that is. Javascript.

Ajax is Javascript to. So you have to learn that.

Either you build your own javascript from scratch or you use a Javascript Framework is up to you.

Ok, I know it’s AJAX... but I thought this effect is already implemented in MODx itself (like in the manager), so I can just reuse it on my site...

This is something for the manager. It has nothing to do with the frontend.

The backend uses mootools 1.11 which is an old version.

If you want to use exactly the same functionality you have to include on the frontend the .js files that modx uses.

If you know what ajax is and how to work with it, building something like this is very easy. Use your favorite javascript framework for this. You would find more help on this asking on the forum of your favorite javascript framework.
