Ich habe eine Seite gefunden (bzw. wurde darauf hingewiesen), die meine JSGallery2 benutzt. Wenn man sich das so anschaut, kommt man schnell darauf, dass sie für den konkreten Fall noch erweitert wurde (z.B. werden hovers statt clicks verwendet um die Bilder zu wechseln). Ich freue mich natürlich, dass es Leute gibt die die Galerie gut integrieren konnten. Ich werde auch weiterhin die Augen offenhalten und hier von weiteren ShowCases berichten.

Today, I updated JSGallery and JSGallery2 on eSteak.net to fix two minor bugs. They made it impossible to use custom loading graphics, which works as supposed now. Thanks to Alex H. for the hint!

I just don’t get it! After putting some effort in a website, which was missing in a developer community, and getting almost no feedback, a lot of people are still downloading scriptsfrom eSteak.net – 6000 hits per month. So my contribution to the MooTools-Community was nonsense? Now I had to read this. Sorry, but I am a bit pissed about that. I think, I’ll open the platform for other js frameworks instead of more work for the  MooTools community which obviously doesn’t accept this website. Hopefully the other developer communities are not that exclusive…

I just uploaded a new version of the JSGallery script to eSteak which is now compatible with MooTools 1.2. The old version also got a few tweaks and fixes and works in IE7 now (again). Additionally, both versions of the JSGallery_simpleviewer work in Firefox 3 now. Enjoy!

You may now download the new version 1.2 from the official websie. I think it’s a pity that the download now consists of two seperate files, as the compression rate de- and and the loading time increases.

Unfortunately all the other pages are offline at the moment: the demos, docs, forum and blog. The ticket page has been added, but is currently offline as well. Half-cocked snapshot I’d say, especially because the docs are actually there, well…

Let’s hope the problems will be solved during the day and maybe they’ll think about an official offline versionof the docs to prevent such a blackout.

I will definitely work on eSteak to be able to handle scripts for the new version and I will try to integrate the packed download as well when I’m working on it anyway.

I proudly present two more extensions: JSGallery_flickr and JSGallery_simpleviewer. You can now show flickr images or parse a SimpleViewer XML. Thus, it’s very easy to create a no-flash version of SimpleViewer which uses the same data. Cool, eh?!

I just uploaded little extension for my JSGallery to eSteak. It provides a new “addImage” method, which can be used to add new images to the gallery with javascript. As next steps, I will integrate flickr support and parsing of SimpleViewer-XML format.

You can then create a whole flickr gallery with one simple call or provide an easy-to-set-up fallback for SimpleViewer galleries.

Additionally, I modified the internal structure a litte bit, being able to write more flexible extensions later on. I also fixed the annoying scroll effect after clicking one of the thumbnails or the controls.

Hope you like it!

I just came to a website, where you can BUY litte javascript widgets – funny, isn’t it? The prices are about $30! per script!!! If you are a developer and want to resell those, you even have to pay more than $100.

Now I wonder who ever buys such scripts as there are numerous free alternatives out there…

I recently created a flash image gallery for my current employer which is used on the Schiesser website. It heavily looks like the  Simple Viewer, but was written completely new. As I also wanted to have the same functionality without flash, but with javascript, I took some time and created it. I think the result is worth to take a look. As always, you can download it for free on eSteak.net.

I just added some  really nice badges to my blog, but there was none for the mootools. So I created one myself:

MooTools-badge

You can download it, and add it to your website if you like.
