tinyMCE - submit via AJAX problem

admin — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 14:42:35 +0000

TinyMCE is a great editor, but if you try to use mootools or any other javascript framework to submit your post, the post variables of the ( former ) textarea will stay blank.

A simple addition to the submit button resolves this issue:
onclick="tinyMCE.triggerSave(true,true);"

After that, your post variables are all submitted as usual.

tinyMCE - startup without p tag

admin — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 14:40:22 +0000

Since the new release of tinyMCE (3.x), every opened editor starts with a p tag. To circumvent this behaviour, place the following line into your init function of the editor:

example:
tinyMCE.init({ ... forced_root_block : false, ...
That’s it. The editor now starts without any html tags.

mooImageInfoSlider - slide information about the image as bottom-up slider in the image itself

admin — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 09:42:20 +0000

Want to show additional information about an image but you’re no fan of flash to have some nice bottom-up slide implemented? Here you go, a small and easy to use script to show the < > tag of each image in a slider that covers parts of the image.

Adjustable

You can influence the whole thing by defining:

* font-size
* background-color
* slide speed
* slide effect ( Bounce, linear etc )
* background-image

Demo

You can see a live demo here: mooImageInfoSlider

How-To

Simply wrap each image into a DIV with the className .myImages. So this would yield that (X)HTML code for example:
HTML Code

CSS Styles

Here are some styles that are used in the demo:
.myImages{ position:relative; display:block; float:left; margin:0 10px 0 0 ; }
Script Effects

After that, adjust the settings in the script to match your needs. Find that part, which includes the look and feel of the sliders:
var container = new Element('div', {
In there are all styles like background-image, background color etc.

The effects are done in these parts:
e.addEvent('mouseenter',function(){ and e.addEvent('mouseleave',function(){

from there you can influence the effects, duration etc. For possible effects please refer to the mootools documentation.

Compatibility

This script has been tested in following browsers

* Firefox 2 / 3
* Internet Explorer 6 / 7
* Opera
* Chrome

setting up phplivesupport on windows | apache

admin — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 12:00:29 +0000

For our respected customers, we added some live support on our page. Usually installing a script like this is a matter of a few minutes. Not so this script. If you have set the option -Indexes in your conf file of apache, this script will not be installable.

Even requesting help from the vendors page didn’t bring up any more information. Fumbling around here’s what finally succeeded:

a) Add a .htaccess file to your phplive installation folder.
b) Go and change / add the /setup/index.php with following code:

$dir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']; $dir .= “phplive/”;

Put this on top of the index.php Then replace these lines:

if ( file_exists( “../web”))

and all similar following calls with this:

if ( file_exists( $dir. “web” ))

That’s it, after these changes, the script could be installed on a windows / apache system.

mooSlide for mootools 1.2

Due to many requests to rewrite the mooSlide snippet for the mootools 1.2 framework we’ve done it, and you can download it right away here:

In addition we have added the functionality to load external content instead of having the content div on the page and make it hidden via CSS.

XT:Commerce - remember customer bank info

admin — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 12:44:30 +0000

XT:Commerce does not store, or better said, does not automatically fill the fields of a customers bank information when he had previously bought something via bank transfer. Banktransfer update does the trick.

It also includes a page for XT:Commerce on which the customer can easily change his bank information, if you have provided it once.

XT:Commerce price to image

admin — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 14:46:55 +0000

Having seen this in various online shops, I decided to write my own function for the xt commerce shop, which enables you to display new products on the index page with prices that are images. This can help promoting your articles a lot better and, in addition, have the cheap price ( hopefully ) move over parts of the image so it will look like one image at all.

In fact, you can choose any style you like, as the images are pre-produced as gifs, so just create them in the font of your choice, copy the module in your shop folder and you’re all set.

Here’s a demo image from a shop we’re currently developing:

XT:Commerce Google Sitemap - generate google sitemaps for 1000’s of products

admin — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 14:06:57 +0000

Here it is, the XT:Commerce Google Sitemap Tool, which enables even shops with thousands of products to create valid google sitemaps.

Each sitemap file can be limited to a certain amount of products, a main sitemap.xml links to these files. Now you can give google all your products without having to write these maps your own. Pings google automatically and notifies them about your new shop sitemap.

Define how many products you wish to have in one sitemap file, press start and you’re all set.
You can purchase this script here: XT:Commerce Google Sitemap

mooSocialize update

admin — Sat, 24 May 2008 07:33:04 +0000

The mooSocialize script has been updated. It now takes the url correctly, as there have been an issue when more than one “&” has been in the query string. This bug has been fixed now and the mooSocialize works as expected.
