Ajaxify Plone: Building a Single Page Application in Classic UI
Developer
Designer
Intermediate
Did you know that you can turn a Classic UI Plone site into a Single Page Application (SPA), only with a few Patternslib trickeries and optional backend adjustments?

Details

A full page load will only be done for the initial visit. From that point on, only the essential parts of each page are fetched and dynamically injected into the existing DOM, delivering a faster and smoother user experience. This talk walks through how to achieve this transformation using pat-inject configurations, a custom main template, and a handful of tweaks. You'll learn how to boost perceived performance and bring SPA-like behavior to Classic UI—while keeping all the benefits of a traditional Plone setup.
