I must figure out a quick way to blog on news found on the Bloomberg iPhone App!
Feb. 12 (Bloomberg) — Facebook Inc., operator of the world’s largest social-networking site, is working to offer more services on mobile phones from manufacturers such as Nokia Oyj, Apple Inc. and BlackBerry maker Research In Motion Ltd.
Facebook is seeking more partnerships with wireless-service providers and phone makers, according to a statement from the company yesterday. About 13 percent of Facebook customers access the site using their phones, the company said. Read the rest of this entry »
During January I’ve been working with Johnny Van Haeften to create a site for the forth coming summer exhibition ‘Master Paintings Week London‘, featuring works from London’s top top paintings dealers in London’s Mayfair and St. James’s.
Just had this problem occur on a couple of new Drupal 6 sites.
When using the admin_menu module you may get a problem with the yoursite/user page where the admin menu user counter is output in the page title giving something like this:
Sometimes you need to visually hook the user into content. Sometimes the simple and quick ideas work the best. This was added in at the last minute to highlight a great video supported article on the newly launched Fresh Networks website.
Here’s a lightweight snippet for creating a collapsable defintion list. A client wanted a way to present a large page of text with some sections collapsed. The site is also built in CMS so I wanted a solution that tapped into semantic code that would easy to create and edit using a wysiwyg editor. TinyMCE in this case. I’ll set up an example page if anyone wants it. Let me know.
Here’s a useful script for anyone who wants to display a list of terms for any given vocabulary. It seems that many people are asking this question and I’ve seen some very complicated solutions to the problem. However there was one that came very close from tela-web.com
I adapted the script very slightly as I wanted to be able to display a list of terms for a particular vocabulary, but only if a published node had been associated with it. So I added the taxonomy_term_count_nodes() function to check for that.
I thought I’d write a specific entry concerning jQuery and Safari 2. Others may be wondering why Safari 2 is crashing when trying to run some elements of jQuery. In a recent project I need to write simple caption strings into a <p> paragraph and was using html().
I first assumed that one of the fade transitions was causing problems (that’s another story!). I eventually narrowed down the problem and found that html() was causing Safari 2.0.4 to crash. In this case it was easy enough to switch to text() to write in the string and that solved it!
During a recent project I decided to implement an image gallery using jQuery for visual effects. I needed a series of thumbnails that would be clickable to update a full size image using nice fade transitions.
Some Googling unearthed Galleria which looked promising, though upon testing and deploying to a remote site I found it to be a little slow and there were some incompatibility issues with Safari.
Simplified jQuery Gallery
I decided to create an simplified version to cut out the overheads and hopefully speed things up. This relies on a simple HTML <ul> list with embedded thumbnails with title tags to be used for captions - and for the full image a <div> container.
