Winn Scriptatype: 1.7

Greg Winn — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 02:17:58 +0000

I wanted to re-cap the new adds in 1.7 for rails. The new method calls are as listed:

# Added V1.7b
textlink_do_fade
textlink_do_puff
textlink_do_blindup
textlink_do_dropout

You can build any of the above calls with:

textlink_do_fade('Link Text','divYouWantToUpdate',{***},{****})

Download version 2.4.1 at the Google project page. There you also receive support for any issues and the latest truck via svn.

WinnScriptatype:Rails v1.7b

Greg Winn — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 03:18:55 +0000

I just released WinnScriptatype version 1.7 beta on the RubyForge project page. I have also made some fixes to version 1.5 and it is now production ready. The latest release has added some new functionality and the ability to make calls to display text. The call still supports the effects and Ajax request url along with url options.

[ruby]
# New calls in 1.7b
textlink_do_fade
textlink_do_puff
textlink_do_blindup
textlink_do_dropout
[/ruby]

I expect i will be making the same update to the PHP version soon so keep an eye out for that!

Take a look at the WinnScriptatype:Rails RubyForge project page and download the latest!

WinnScriptatype:PHP v1.5 Available

Greg Winn — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 19:33:47 +0000

Call two effects for two different elements with one call. This option is now working in version 1.5! Simply make the call “checkbox_do” then add your effects like so:

[php]
checkbox_do_fade_and_appear(‘div1′, ‘div2′, ‘***’, array(‘userName’ => ‘Bob’));
[/php]

Only change you will have to observe is the second element id input. In this case “div2″ is the second element that will receive the effect “appear”. Note that if your going to make the standard call for one effect it’s all still the same from version 1.0.

Check out the details and download WinnScriptatype:PHP v1.5

Winn Scriptatype for PHP

Greg Winn — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 20:37:38 +0000

Thats right, i have converted the rails plugin to PHP. Now you can use the same functions in your next php application. This php class works the same way by creating a checkbox and on click it will call a script with Ajax that will update your database. On success it will return an effect based on the “checkbox_do_” call you make.

Visit the Winn Scriptatype:PHP page, after that you can take a look at the latest nightly dump for the next version of this great script at our SourceForge project page.

Rails Plugin: WinnScriptatype

Greg Winn — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 02:45:00 +0000

Making an Ajax checkbox just got easy. This very simple plugin was built for my own use. The idea was to make one call for my checkbox, update to the database, and an effect. This plugin is easy to use and install, i dont have it setup in an svn yet so you will need to download it and place it in RAILS_ROOT/vendor/plugins/HERE.

I had been working on this plugin for a few weeks in making a new application. I kept writing the “input, Ajax.Request and, Effect.Fade”, so i needed a way to make that fast and do what i need. And out came this handy plugin!

[ruby]
# Lets use this new plugin
checkbox_do_fade(‘theDiv’, ‘CheckboxID’, {:controller => ‘todo’, :action => ‘finish’, :id => todo.id}, {:userid => user.id})

[/ruby]

Here is an over view of the options:

[ruby]
checkbox_do_fade(‘*’, ‘**’, {***}, {****})

[Element ID]* This is the name of the element you want to effect such as a div or table (tr,td)…

[Checkbox ID]** This is the id of the checkbox it self

[URL/path]*** this is the url for the update to take place NOTE: always use controller,
action, and id DO NOT place other variables in this block that is for the next block.

[URL/path options]**** This block is used for url options like so: (/path/to/1?userid=1) as you see
userid is 1, this is done by using the url options block. You may send an unlimited number of
url options with this.

# Below are the ONLY supported calls
checkbox_do_fade # This will fade the element
checkbox_do_puff # This will puff the element
checkbox_do_blindup # and so on…
checkbox_do_dropout # again…
[/ruby]
