FancyBox – A Good Mixture…

Published on March 4, 2008 in FancyBox and iWeb. 19 Comments Tags: , , , .

While I was working with a friend on the old-school iWeb application, he asked me for a good effect to enlarge images. Making images open in a new window really sucks. So, what you do is you look into the jQuery library for a script that would provide what you want. Didn’t take long and the outcome was FancyBox. FancyBox, by me, is made up of three things. jQuery, Lightbox and FancyZoom. Since it is a mixture of all of them, I called it FancyBox.

Now what is FancyBox? It is a jQuery based script that will make thumbnailed images zoom up and enlarge. Best way to understand what I am talking about is to look at the demo.

You can take a look at this awesome thing in a demo page I made in iWeb:

Please only view this in FireFox and Safari on a Mac. These are the only things with which I have tested it. Camino fails completely. :-D

I’ll open up the scripts as soon as I get it to work properly. That means I will have a pack for those who enjoy coding themselves and then I will have it integrated right into the next major update on iTweak! Yep – the next major update for iTweak, not the 1.2 version. You’ll see this stuff coming soon.

The more you nag me, the higher the chance I get this stuff done. I am kind of a person who always shifts things to the last minute, so tell me to be faster. :-D

Merry Christmas!

Published on December 23, 2007 in News. 1 Comment Tags: , , , , , , , , .

It’s the 23rd today and I am all out happy knowing that tomorrow is Christmas. Yes, I know, most of you are wondering why on the 24th! Well, Europeans celebrate it at night on the 24th and Americans on the 25th. In any case, Merry Christmas!

Yep I know, I am not that kind to just make a post for fun. There is always some info to it. Today I am going to growl on about some boring future of my apps and the site itself.

What I am to do first is to finish iCordion. It has been much anticipated by many of you – but I simply did not have enough time until now to do all of this! Keep in mind that I am only doing this site has a hobby, not full business. :-D Yet, I promise that it will come and it will come like hell. It already has some 40 complete new functions that could make iCordion end up as a whole web-design application rather than just a simple app that makes jQuery Accordions!

iMap! iMap has been quite a mess in trying to make it perfect because the sitemaps not always validated with each site and thus gave errors with Google. In any case, I haven’t got a mail for the past few weeks about this issue and so iMap 2.2 is quite stable with it.
Are there still things to be improved? Yes I’ve got several things that I want to add and change. One of them is a updating system as well as saving values for multiple sites which can then be selected via a sidebar. That’s 08 stuff, nothing for 2007!

iWebExpander is my little app that hasn’t been getting much attention. It is going to be updated as well. The updating system will go in there as well. I will also add a basic search-replace function that will allow you to add much, much more to your sites without having to manually edit the HTML code.

With this post I would also say that iWebExpander has been downloaded over 10 000 times! This is just amazing. Incredible – at least from my point of view. :-D

The tutorials are changing as well! The videos will be updated to Leopard and they will be arranged differently in this blog. I had them as separate pages, which makes them difficult to find in searches and so I will move them all into the Tutorials category.

The iWeb Templates – god – totally forgot about them. They will return – but at the moment I have no clue when that will be.

Lastly we have my recent entry into the Wordpress world. The themes are being download like crazy and so I am planning to make a new one as well.

So, that’s all the things that I have planned for the future, that at least you are allowed to know about – other things that are secret are also coming!

Oh – totally forgot about Macvotes.com. It hasn’t been getting much attention either – but I will give it a fancy design and then make it public and then, it will be a great site!
