phatfusion

It’s been a while since there was any activity on this site, so i thought it was time to start again and combine a few of the different areas – site, blog, etc into one place. Hopefully this will also make it a little easier to keep it updated.

Right, things to note: the mootools plugins that were on the old site and were version 1.11 compatible are now only available in the plugins/archive page, as downloads (on the right hand side). Only updated, mootools version 1.2+ compatible scripts will have there own page and documentation. At this time i’ve only managed to rewrite the documentation for the two most popular scripts, imageMenu and multiBox. I’ll hopefully be adding scripts on a regular basis, some that have been updated others that are new!

The mootools team have released the mootools forge (a plugins repository), i’m unsure whether to continue hosting the plugins here or rewrite the docs again for the forge? – comments and feedback on this would be great!

I’m in the process of updating my site, but as i’m off on holiday for a couple of weeks i thought i’d get something up and available for people to play with. I’ve not had a chance to do full browser testing yet so would appreciate if anyone could help out on that. Also please email me any bugs and fixes and all get them implemented as soon as i can when i get back.

I’ve created a phatfusion googlecode project to help with the development and maintenance of the scripts. The folder structure follows the same format as the mootools more SVN repos and therefore i have included the mootools more scripts in this project too.

THESE ARE 1.2 COMPATIBLE SCRIPTS!

note: best to look directly at the pages in the _demo and _docs folders as the index pages aren’t linked up and working yet.

Hopefully this will be a place where people can get help, post bug and even better post fixes. Discussions on improvements and new features are always welcome.

Here’s a few…

1. New option: ’showControls’. This will turn off the controls.

2. New option: ‘offset’. This is an object containing x and y offsets for the box relative to it being centered.

3. New option: ‘fixedTop’. This options allows you to specify a fixed top position to all boxes to open to.

4. New option: ‘openFromLink’. This says if the box should open from the link thats clicked or from the center of the window.

5. Bug fix: the problem with movies or music still playing when closed or moved to the next item is now fixed.

i’ve also added a hidden iframe to the box so it will go over dropdown menus etc in IE6 and i’ve also added one to the overlay script.

now at version 1.3

if there is anything else that people would like let me know.

Here are more detailed instuctions on how to setup imageMenu.
