retinafunk Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Hi all, we lauched this big website for a festival last week, and pout a lot of work and love into this. Check out: boomfestival.org Hope you like it! and it has been received very well so far.. ( 60 000 visits in less then 1 week) It uses processwire as CMS , and I must say awesome decision to replace Wordpress we used the last editions, processwire is highly superior to wordpress as CMS . I even managed to import a lot of content from Wordpress with the Processwire bootstrap API and JSON and the help of this forum Content is loaded all with Ajax , and still backbutton does work and everything can be deeplinked . Ryan ProCache module has helped very much with Site speed and our high traffic server load If I find the time I might do a case study here...as this ajax approach moight be interesting for other developers 33
diogo Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Good work! I'm definitely interested in knowing about the URL updating!! I know how to do it with hashes but not like this
apeisa Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Good work! I'm definitely interested in knowing about the URL updating!! I know how to do it with hashes but not like this It is actually pretty simple. History API and recent browsers - nice thing is that fallback is very clean (normal links and url). 3
retinafunk Posted October 23, 2013 Author Posted October 23, 2013 Indeed it was quite simple ( once I figured out the history API) You need to use pushState() to change URL ... and on popstate event (triiggered by back / forward buttons or javascript:history.back() ) .. just do the same the user would do ( check URL document.location.href and load the content) .. the gotcha is if never pushState if you come to the URL via popstate event.... this broke it at first https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/API/DOM/Manipulating_the_browser_history 4
MatthewSchenker Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Greetings, Very nice work. You create a great experience upon entering the site. Thanks for sharing, Matthew
apeisa Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Was on mobile earlier and didn't look at the site. Now visited and gotta say I love it! Superb work!
Pitbull Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 hi retinafunk your site is a masterpiece... fantastic effects!! and atmosphere it make me wana be to that festival!!! please when you find time do the tutorial!!!!!!!!!!
Pete Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Not just an awesome ProcessWire site, but an awesome site in general! Great work - gives me lots of ideas (if only I had the time for them all ). Just chilling out to the music in the background. My only comment is that the player for the music sits a little low on the bottom of the screen. The bottom of the play and mute buttons are just off the bottom of the screen, but still clickable - I'm pretty sure the positioning was by design though so nothing major!
diogo Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 I only noticed now where the festival will take place
dragan Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 Very impressive! Is this festival Portugal's answer to Burning Man?
Joe Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 I´m blown away, knocked out by this Design! Great! Love the way it scales well for all its graphic complexity ! we lauched this big website for a festival last week, and pout a lot of work and love into this. ...a lot of work it must have been, but the result is worth it! Just chilling out to the music in the background. My only comment is that the player for the music sits a little low on the bottom of the screen. The bottom of the play and mute buttons are just off the bottom of the screen, but still clickable - I'm pretty sure the positioning was by design though so nothing major! ...also listening now - yes, I didnt´t see the player at first and it was a bit hard to click on firefox, because it partly disappears at the bottom. But this seems minor. Great!
Beluga Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 Nice to see this conscious evolution happen in the Boom concept Stay blissful!
horst Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 @retinafunk: WOW! --------- Good work! I'm definitely interested in knowing about the URL updating!! I know how to do it with hashes but not like this found this and thought it maybe of interest: https://github.com/webcreate/infinite-ajax-scroll/blob/master/src/jquery-ias.js#L630 ?
David Karich Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 A truly inspiring work. I love the AJAX implementation.
WinnieB Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 Stunning, and eye-catching! Do you drink ayahuasca instead of coffee every morning? Only issue I notice - there appears to be an audio player at lower left, no worky in Chrome 33.0.1750.146 on OSX 10.8.5.
benbyf Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Great site, how did you accomplish the animated background? cheers
