SUGGEST FOR EXTENSION DEVELOPMENT

Adendum · Post by **Adendum** » Thu Aug 25, 2011 8:46 pm

I happened across this site - http://www.seomoves.org/ - and was impressed by the menu system. So it begs the question....have we got an extension like this?

If not....who wants to have a go at one!!!!

Hi, well i have never tried to make an extention, But i think you could do this whit layers and events.

Adendum · Post by **Adendum** » Thu Aug 25, 2011 11:33 pm

Probably, but an extension would be better

So I made one!! See Image Swap Menu

Did you not see this?

amrajadhyaksha · Post by **amrajadhyaksha** » Fri Aug 26, 2011 4:37 pm

I am looking for a simple image gallery with a main pic and thumbnails which can be positioned on the top / bottom/ left / right (any ONE position per gallery / page).
I could not locate one that answers to this requirement.
I require this for an offline presentation on a CD for anyone wanting to view it, so PHP cannot be used.

The Sliverlight gallery did not work though I published the page to the root folder. I had installed the latest Silverlight plugin from Microsoft. The Silverlight 1.0 plugin was not available.
I would also like to know if the viewers also need Silverlight on their computers to see work executed with Silverlight. If yes, then it's a no no as Silverlight hardly has any users in India.

The Tiny Animated Slideshow has a thumbnail bar at the bottom but it cannot be positioned on top / left / right.
Please let me know if I have skipped any one of the existing extensions that can easily help with this result.

Has Visual Lightbox (In its current format and not a clone or similar product) been done?

I believe this is a desktop aplication. If so, no extension can be made of this.

Hi, i wonder if any boudy know of a Photoalbum that behaves like this:
I want it to function like the original wwb photoalbum but insted of showing all the thumbnail images i want it to show only one image and when you click on that image then all the thumbnails will show upp.

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Wed Aug 31, 2011 11:44 am

@ Patrik iden if you can find a "Free Script" and not and not a software application that does then maybe just maybe one of the builders may make it into a extension....

amrajadhyaksha · Post by **amrajadhyaksha** » Fri Sep 02, 2011 11:42 am

Hi,
Can you explain, just for my knowledge what qualifies for looking at as a possible extension, and why a Desktop Application does not?
Visual Lightbox is an application, yes.

Navaldesign · Post by **Navaldesign** » Fri Sep 02, 2011 11:50 am

Desktop applications run on your own computer, whilst WWB extensions run within WWB itself and their output is visible on the browser when previewed or published.

A desktop application doesn't give you the necesary code to use within the extension builder, so no extension can be made out of it.

amrajadhyaksha · Post by **amrajadhyaksha** » Sat Sep 03, 2011 11:17 am

Thanks for the patient explanation.
So far, whatever I have suggested does qualify for extensions, but that was fortuitous.
Now, whatever I suggest will have the proper perspective too.

amrajadhyaksha · Post by **amrajadhyaksha** » Fri Sep 09, 2011 4:26 pm

Hi, check out the menu here http://www.businessweek.com/

Looks very simplistic, isn't.
The drop downs on the left turn right.....that's quite common, but the drop downs on the right turn left. That's something every menu wants to be.

hopeful regards,

BaconFries · Post by **BaconFries** » Fri Sep 09, 2011 4:41 pm

This was most likely custom made for this site, please note that it is not possible to make into a extension as this would be deemed "Stealing" since the script is not provided "freely" to be used by others and there is no download source available.

amrajadhyaksha · Post by **amrajadhyaksha** » Fri Sep 16, 2011 2:42 am

Anyone taken a look at http://www.flashxml.net/ recently?
Their scripts are free, albeit with a small logo.
Eddy had developed one of their scripts logo ago viewtopic.php?t=25108, wish someone also looks at their other scripts.

hello there,

Here is a sugestion for an very useful extention:

AVAILABILITY CALANDAR
which is used for hotels and private cottages.

i have a found a quite easy and good looking which is free as well and have been using it for the customers but it would be great if you oculd integrate it with WB7
Here is the link:

Is this same as our jquery tab or different?

Adendum · Post by **Adendum** » Sat Oct 08, 2011 3:53 pm

Already on it.....been experimenting with it for a couple of weeks. If and when I get it to work properly in all test situations I'll post a new thread.

Adendum · Post by **Adendum** » Sun Oct 09, 2011 7:10 pm

I remember why I slowed up on this one now.......

The problem is that all pages generated by WWB create an inline style tag, as here:-

Code: Select all

<div id="wb_LongText" style="margin:0;padding:0;position:absolute;left:0px;top:0px;width:600px;height:1080px;text-align:left;z-index:0;">

It is the "position:absolute;" that is causing a problem with the jquery code that looks after the iFrame resizing. If I manually delete this from any iframe page (or change to relative) it all works perfectly.....but being a manual process it will be very long winded/troublesome for a larger site.

So somewhere along the line the jquery has to be changed. I have now contacted the original author but it's a big ask, IMHO. So if there is anyone else out there with some jQuery experience that knows how to overcome this I'd be grateful for input.

haakoo · Post by **haakoo** » Sun Oct 09, 2011 9:56 pm

Why not have jquery change the attribute of the css of the iframe?
http://api.jquery.com/css/

Hans

haakoo · Post by **haakoo** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 9:41 am

different approach try and see,also very crude example (crossbrowser in all major browsers)
Chrome doesn't work locally due to restrictions for calling javascript functions,it does work online
There are also some other nicnacs i've used so you can use those too

Hans

@haakoo:
It's not the CSS that is the problem it's that the jQuery I am using (see earlier post). Because WWB uses absolute positioning the jQuery can't 'see' the iFrame.

I downloaded your DynamicIframeSize+Redirect2IframeStyleOnly.zip but the WB file is corrupt.

@spyrog:
Have downloaded resize-iframe.zip and will look at it today. Where did you get the code from as I'd need to check and get permission from the originator before I can turn it into an extension. No offence, but I can't just take your word for it.

haakoo · Post by **haakoo** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 11:00 am

@Adendum.

Try this new zip

DynamicIframeSize+Redirect2IframeStyleOnly.zip

Adendum · Post by **Adendum** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 12:42 pm

Haako,

The ZIP file is OK it's your WWB file that is corrupt. When I try and open it I get a dialogue saying there are internal errors and it crashes WB.

haakoo · Post by **haakoo** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 12:48 pm

DynamicIframeSize+Redirect2IframeStyleOnly.zip

Another try

Adendum · Post by **Adendum** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 1:22 pm

Thanks Spyrog,

I already have that code and several similar sets of code but so far I can only make them work in IE. Found a few that are alledged to work in Safari, Firefox and Chrome but so far I can't get them working.

Will keep at it and report back.

Adendum · Post by **Adendum** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 1:43 pm

Mods..........

Maybe best to move the last dozen or so posts to it's own thread?

I am close - have working code for Firefox, IE and Safari but can't get it to work in Chrome

Adendum · Post by **Adendum** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 4:08 pm

Got it all working now. Just building the extension now.

Chrome doesn't like the local publish files but it works fine from the server.

Fine tuning the extension now, so it should be ready soon. I did end up using the Sitepoint code you referenced but I have no idea who the original author is.

Adendum · Post by **Adendum** » Mon Oct 10, 2011 4:34 pm

OK, need some support now..............

Everything appears to be working perfectly in all browsers BUT I have a problem......

Any elements add to a page after I have placed the extension on the page do not appear. The HTML is published OK but it gets positioned after the extension HTML and does not show on the page:-

Code: Select all

<!-- end AutoResizeiFrame -->
<div id="wb_indexShape2" style="margin:0;padding:0;position:absolute;left:0px;top:193px;width:89px;height:193px;opacity:0.50;-moz-opacity:0.50;-khtml-opacity:0.50;filter:alpha(opacity=50);text-align:center;z-index:4;">
<img src="images/img0004.gif" id="indexShape2" alt="" title="" style="border-width:0;width:89px;height:193px"></div>
</div>
</body>

So, from the above code you can see I added a simple shape (wb_indexShape2) to the page but on publish you don't see the shape. ANYTHING placed on a page AFTER the extension has been placed does not appear on the page.

The shape (and any other object) is published and the code is correct...........so what is causing this? Obviously it's the extension but how do I overcome it?

This is a nice DropDown Menu from Dynamic Drive.
Stops short of kicking butt the way the last extension from Paul does, but is a good one nonetheless.

lol...I have this one in my list of TO DO extensions.....and I think it's neater too, take a look here. I also liked this one!

I'll work on that after I finish the time-line extension.

Radesh,

I believe the original Nivo extension author has posted that he's updating it, so I'll hold off unless he's decided to abandon it. And the other one looks very familiar....I think Pablo's done that one for WWB8?

Radesh,

Nivo: I'll gladly create it but I don't want to tread on anyones toes.

MobilySlider: There's a very very similar looking slider in WWB8, actually it's called a carousel. Trust me....you wont have long to wait.
