Anything Slider (free)

[Adendum]

JimmyJazz,

Nice to see the extension in use.

The fuzzy text in IE8 is odd because I don't see that in my demo in IE and there's a lot more text in that. I do see the problem in your site however, so I guess there must be something going on. It looks like you are using Arial, have yo tried changing the font and see if that cures it?

[JimmyJazz]

Just changed the font to Verdana, it has helped the blurred text but there has been another side effect.

All the text should be bold. It is on the image slider images but not on the text slider images.

This is only browsing with IE8.

Hi,

Both those extensions are ones I have created. Can you post a URL for each page so I can take a look. Or alternatively email me your WB file so I can see all your settings. You can contact me via my web site's contact page. Once I have your email I will email you back so you can send a file to me. Sadly, no PM system here.

Thinking about your problem again I suspect it is something to do with WHERE your images are located. I refer you back to the help PDF..."Because all panel data is entered using HTML Textbox and that data is parsed with XML to create your final page all URL's (and all HTML code) becomes hard coded. This means that an image link will point to your local folder and when the page is uploaded to the server the image cannot be seen. The workaround is fairly simple and requires you to :-
[a] upload the image to the server and
reference the image as http://www.thedomain.com/images/thisimage.jpg"

Check again and let me know - but seeing your file would make it easier to see what's going wrong for you.

Apologies to everyone using this extension.

In a recent renaming exercise (to comply with the rules) it appears the edited version stopped publishing all the support files (css, .js and default images). This has now been fixed and an updated version is available from the original location - http://extensions.wysiwygwebbuilder.com/

NOTE: In the renaming exercise the extension name was changed from Anything Slider.wbx to AnythingSlider.wbx as a result if you have already updated the extension - sadly - any pages created using the earlier version (with the space between the name) will not work as WB will be looking for a differently named extension. Sorry - if I realised that before I wouldn't have changed the name!

10/11/11 : Having only realised I could do this yesterday (doh!) I have modified this extension (and all my extensions - see list below) so that the live rendering of the extension in design view is greatly improved. In many cases the design view will take on a background colour you set in the extension properties.

Updates available from the WWB extensions site and my own demo site. Remember to check out the extensions listed below.

I never thanked you for taking this extension request on. It is absolutely fantastic! Your incorporation of the HTML Textbox was brilliant and keeps everything clean. As soon as I can get permission to submit a live site I will do so. I cannot thank you enough for this extension and the others you have generously shared.

Thanks protectourlands. Funnily enough I took another look at it the other day and it was one of my 'early' extensions and I think I might re-visit soon and see if I can make it the fully loaded version!

[protectourlands]

That would be awesome!

OLD CODE:

Code: Select all

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>

NEW CODE:

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript" src="./jquery-1.6.4.min.js"></script>

i noticed your site has no scrollbars even when you resize the window smaller.
how did you do this?

[Adendum]

iamafireman,

Not all pages, only those I don't want them.

In the html for each page (or master frame page, as I use) inside body tag put

Code: Select all

style="overflow: hidden"

OK thanks
