Carousel help (7 Replies)

Try starting over.

Draw an HTML box on the page. Make it a color.

With that box selected, use Edit > Duplicate to make 3 more just like it. Use offsets of 0,0 to be sure that there is no position change between them.

Click on the header at the top of the Site pane until it shows the items in the page (rather than the entire site).

At this point, you should see a list of four items in the Site pane:

item1
item1a
item1b
item1c

Click on each item within that list in turn, and change its color using the Inspector so that each one is a different color.

Now drag a selection rectangle around one corner of the stack (or use Shift-click to select all of the elements within the Site pane), and use Item > Group from the main menu to group the elements together. (One possibility here is that you are using the Mac-standard Apple-G for Group, which is unfortunately not the case in Freeway). With the group selected, try applying the Carousel action to the group.

I suspect what might be happening here is that you have more than one thing selected when you are trying to apply the Action. Grouping the elements gives you one logical object to attach the Action to.

Scriptaculous Slider: How Hard Is it To Do? (7 Replies)

waltd — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 20:03:21 -500

Sorry, just double-checked, and Slider in Script.aculo.us means only an on-screen control that you slide to change a numerical value.

The thread that you saw the slider in shows one use of this control — to change a value that the user will submit through a form.

Here’s another thread that explains another thing you can do with it:

But if you want to make a part of your page scroll automatically, then there’s the Carousel which is documented here:

Can you post a link to the page you mean? You might be wanting my Carousel Action effect. Slider means something very specific in Script.aculo.us — it’s either the effect you get with a Finder window when the elements don’t all fit in the window area or a way to set a numerical value by sliding a “thumb” along a track — you move the slider, and the contents scroll or the number changes.

I really want the sliding action of the Scriptaculous example on the Softpress website. I’m not sure if this will do that.

Text formatting options for WebYep? (7 Replies)

max — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 06:14:07 -500

Hi Keith
I have to say all the Richtext editors have there faults, I suppose that’s one of the problem with free software.. :o(
Like David I too tend not to give clients richtext unless necessary and to expand on Davids comments (which is what I tend to do too) if you wanted to make some style called “STRESS” and you wanted to apply your style you would change this:

  example text example text example text.

to this

 <STRESS example text example text example text.>

then this would style that complete line
if you wanted to style part of the line of copy you could do this:

  <STRESS example text> example text example text.

This would only style the first ‘example text’
if you wanted to style two lines then you would need to apply the style to both lines as below:

  <STRESS example text example text example text.>
  <STRESS example text example text example text.>

There has been some improvements recently with TinyMCE and you may want to make sure you have the latest variant
I hope this helps
kind regards max

Setting up Pay Par Click (4 Replies)

David Owen — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 09:04:04 -500

Paul,

Your using our hosting. Look at Openads (OpenX) in your hosting
control Panel. One click install it into a directory and have a play
around with it. Its one of the scripts Walt has kindly listed on his
Hotscripts search URL.

HI, Ive been asked about Pay Per Click systems and how would one be
set up. I havent a clue - are there any out there which could be
plugged into easily?

This isnt a case of using Google as the system will be targeting a
very narrow band of adverts. Ill know more next week, but Id like
to get a head start on whats involved.

Thanks Walter, great clarifying!

What would one do without FreewayTalk? Digging an whole in the ground or something.

Thanks Chuck,

I’ve seen quite a few of these. My problem is integrating these into FW. I followed a tutorial for lightbox and got it work as well as used Weaver’s MooTools action. Neither of these allow media files.

I am really hoping I don’t have to re-invent the wheel (which is going to be hard since I am not a web coder) and can find something that I can adapt. I don’t really care which ‘box’ version it is.

Hey Gang,

In my new business, Macris Direct (www.macrisdirect.com), I’m finding myself selling websites that are over my head technically. Are there any advanced users who would be interested in working with me to set up advanced database-integrated sites?

If you’re interested, email me at andrew at macrisdirect dot com.

thanks, Andrew

This works great. Thanks again.

Except for … how do I get the footer to be included at the bottom of the page? I tried it as a SSI but I can’t get it to position right. I’ve read all the talk on footers and haven’t found a solution yet that I find works. Any suggestions?

P.S. - If you use the add footer space action, how do you link the footer that actually goes in that space? Or is it for text only. Just curious.

XMLC and Java (1 Reply)

waltd — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 13:11:10 -500

First I’ve heard of it. From the looks of the site you linked, it is going to read in a regular HTML page (which Freeway happily creates) and then make it dynamic, without much in the way of special tags or code in the HTML to guide it. If you can find an implementation guide that goes into more detail, someone here could probably help you.

Hi,

Does anyone have practical experience of integrating Freeway5 Pro HTML files with XMLC (www.xmlc.org) ? Any advice, guidance or gotcha list appreciated.
