Hello,
I just started building the new jquery-plugins.com
Can I publish your ‘jQuery (mb)Menu 2.0 (New!)’ on this website?
http://pupunzi.wordpress.com/2009/01/18/mbmenu/
If you have any other cool plugins, plz let me know!
Thank you for your kind response.
Christophe
Hi Christophe,
of course you can,
Here you can find all my plugins:

Hi Matteo,
Thank you I can publish your wonderful jquery plugins. I’ll include (of course) a link to the homepage of the particular plugin.
Kind regards,
Christophe
Ciao Matteo
ti seguo da un pò di tempo e sei veramente molto bravo.
Ho un problema legato all’uso di jquery con i video player flash, forse puoi darmi un suggerimento utile.
sto usando jquery.colorbox.js ma il problema si presenta anche con gli altri plug-in ed è lo stesso problema che avevo prima di usare jquery , usavo librerie scritte da noi..
arrivo al dunque.
riesco a mostrare gli allegati ma non riesco a mostrare i video, mostra il contenuto in formato testo o non carica mostrando l’area vuota .. anche se il link di suo funziona se diretto.
puoi suggerirmi qualcosa..
grazie anticipato
Hi Matteo
I try to utilize both mbMenu and mbTabset in the same page, but it doesn’t works…
Do i am so dummy or is it a problem with css’s (collision) ?
Thank’s a lot

I see your plugin “imgage navigator” for jquery and try to download it but the link to the source is not correct…
Can you give me a link to this beta?
That would be nice =)

Hi Tobias,
I fix the link to the download page,

Hi Matteo:
I found a plugin you created a couple of years ago for Isadora. You created a time and date plugin. I had a earlier version of Isadora and I was using your plugin with a project dealing with “time”… it was just what I needed.
I updated to the newer version of Isadora (which has some great new features) and your plugins no longer work.
Question: Did you, or would you update your plugin to work in the newer versions.
Thanks for your great contributions.

Hi Kevin,
Are you shure I made this plugin for Isadora?
I don’t remember it…

Sorry if I have the wrong individual… here is the link to where I found and used the plugin…

Hello,
I’d like to contact you. It’s about your nice menu, I have some questions.
On my site on the Chat section there is a Meebo Widget could you try to leave me a message?

Matteo,
I have been in this business for a very long time. Mainframe to Web and back.
While the internet is a wealth of information, and I am very happy to have it, what you have created for graphical representation of data, from pictures to navigation to only the imaginations limit, shows us what the future will hold. Not just for the Graphics Designer as yourself, or the professional with €€ and pro tools, but for the old work horses like me. Using your scripts will allow me to feel new again. Like I am part of the ‘Younger Generation’. Well not too young
Thanks, and please keep adding and enhancing.
William
Thnx a lot William,
and There’s not young or old horses; we all that are alive are contemporaneus; it depends how much our life is driven by curiosity.

Hi Matteo’
I’m Joel from Chico,Ca USA ,I would like to thank you for your mbGallery plugin.I used it on my site,Joecaps.com(check it out if you got time).My site users really love it.You rock ,man.Thank You!
Joel C.
Matteo our savior thanks for the plugins..
it really works fine in .Net hehehe!
Thankyou so much for these wonderful plugins..I am new to jquery but having fun things to work with makes learning that much more enjoyable…
Wonderful creations you have. I would like to add to the mbGallery component the ability to put the navigation bar on the bottom or just underneath the image instead of always somewhere across the top. Would this be hard to do, calculate the position upon completion of image position/size?
Your work is wonderful.
man
im u r big fan
great n awesoem workkkk
Hi Matteo, thank for yous plugins http://www.lema.not.br/novo.php
Congratulations for you Beautiful work.
complimenti per tutti i tuoi lavori
sono una tua fan!
Grazie Anna per i complimenti.
Ciao, Matteo
Your work is amazing! I can’t wait to implement some of your jquery pluggins on my personal site which is pretty pathetic right now. Thank you.
Ciao Matteo, innanzi tutto complimenti per le tue “mb.ideas”! davvero notevoli…
pochi giorni fa mi sono accorto di come “carica” la pagina di google… mi spiego (ma già saprai), appena si accede alla pagina se si lascia il mouse fermo i link in prima e ultima fila non si vedono, ma quando
si muove il mouse purché all’interno della finestra appaiono con dissolvenza… non ti nascondo che mi piacerebbe fare una cosa del genere… puoi aiutarmi??? grazie comunque e buon jQuery!!!
Thankyou so much for these wonderful plugins!!!
Hi Matteo,
My name is Rondon, I have an information portal. I’d like to put an interface like you did with your plugins page.
That’s a big information project. I really would like to have you onboard with us, because your work is a master piece of design.
I work with news from 221 newspapers (harvesting daily and indexing), access to more than 3,000 libraries around the world, search all of my information resources simultaneously and with your interface, I’m sure we can rock!
You can check some of my work at http://www.cienciapolitica.com.br/tse/
It was my last consulting. My information portal has some examples, but the hole potential, I must talk with you, if you’re interested. ok.
Thanks for your attention,
Best Regards,
Rondon
Hello Matteo,
I’m trying to get your extruder to work.
I have a problem:
I can get the panel to open and close but the text does not show up.
The website has many pages so I am needing to organize them. Each division has its own folder within the site directory(named ubs).
I have placed all the expanded files from the extruder zip in its own folder, and then in the js directory.
So here is the path of the extruder files:
ubs/js/js_mb_extruder
The path of one the dept pages:
ubs/ubs_downloads/index.html
The html inside the index.html for your sliding panel:
If I move the dept. file to the top level and change the url to this:
, the text shows fine.
So it must be the way I coded the url path. (?)
Can you please help?
Thanks,
Herman
Hi Herman,
If you get the panel open and close, that means the component is well initialized but the url attribute of the exruder content is not reachable.
The path to the ajax page you need to show in the extruder component is relative to the page the extruder is invoked;
if you have complex structure you can set the url as absolute from the root of your site (Ex: http://yourSite/folder/file or /folder)/file).
Hope this can help you,
Bye,
Matteo
You’re the best!!!!
Hello, I got your address from the Teamwork staff, they told me you could help me with an issue I got.
I’m not an expert but trying to build a one page website, i.e. using the content sliding technique. I wanted to use the ScrollTo plugin explained on http://flesler.blogspot.com/2007/10/jqueryscrollto.html but I cannot make it work.
Then I discovered that the same tecnique is used on http://www.open-lab.com/index_en.html#contacts.
Could you be so kind to give me some advice or a tutorial about how to build a page like that?
I have made one page and all the contents are inside, but I just don’t know how to make the section scroll. You can view the page here http://www.quadrupede.iiiwti.com/what.htm but of course it should not look like this!
Thank you
Criss

Salve, ho avuto il tuo indirizzo dallo staff di Teamwork, mi hanno detto che mi puoi forse aiutare con un problema.
Non sono un esperto programamtore ma sto cercando di fare un sito “single page”. Volevo usare il plugin ScrollTo (come spiegato su http://flesler.blogspot.com/2007/10/jqueryscrollto.html) ma non riesco a farlo funzionare. Ho poi scoperto che la stessa tecnica è usata su http://www.open-lab.com/index_en.html#contacts.
Potresti darmi una mano a capire, oppure indicarmi un tutorial che indichi le basi di come si costruisca un single page website coem quello?
Io ho creato l apagina, mettendo tutte le apgine in un html, ma non so proprio coe fare l’effetto scroll. Puoi vedere http://www.quadrupede.iiiwti.com/what.htm che ovviamente non deve essere così, ma è risultato una sovrapposizione di tutte le pagine che invece vorrei “scrollare”.
Thank you
Criss
Ciao Cristiano,
per il sito di Open Lab abbiamo usato un plugin jQuery chiamato localScroll: http://plugins.jquery.com/project/LocalScroll
Leggi la documentazione e guarda gli esempi; è abbastanza semplice da usare.
Ciao,
Matteo
I came across your mb iconize plugin which inspired me to go in a direction I am excited about. I have a question re: elements path. It does not work remote or local no matter what I do. Of course firing up a demo is no sweat, but when implemented with other versions of jquery (no.conflict or not) and my setup I am stumped. Could you enlighten. Nice work. Thanks. C

Ciao Glennie,
è molto semplice:
$(function(){$(document).bind("mousemove.showEl",function(){
$(".hiddenElements").fadeIn();
$(document).unbind("mousemove.showEl");
})
});
Fammi sapere se funziona come vuoi.
Ciao
Matteo
Hi Matteo,
Nice to see your work. Amazing. I’m using the mb.extruder in a personal project and it’s run like a charm. I think that the next step is to put the containers inside.
Thanks for you job!
Regards from Brazil
Hi Paulino,
Thnx you to use my components and enjoy them!
Bye,
Matteo
Matteo … you are a true legend
I love your work – it’s the best I’d ever found (why did it take me so long to find you?)
Would you be available for some work on my site? I need someone who knows what he is doing and there are only a very few out there, you one of them, no doubt !!!
I used some tools from flowplayer but I can’t use them since their js files all interfere with the jQuery original files! I could really make some use of your tools and I need a lot.
Ciao
Mitch
Hi Mitch,
Thnx to belive on my work and thnx for the compliments,
wich is the URL of your site?
what kind of work do you need?
Bye,

Hey Mateo love your controls I use the MB Gallery and Menu. How would I go about including video in the control? Something like: http://www.phatfusion.net/plugins/multibox/ I use your control for a slide show and the quality is much better.
Thanks
Hi Victor,
actually the gallery accept only images; I’ll think about including video as well.
Bye,
Matteo
Hey Matteo,
I see you have created the mediaEmbedder 1.0. Fantastic! I think that will do just perfect for what I am putting together. It would be nice to have a gallery of videos that plays automatically after each other similar to putting together a playlist. To extend on the mbgallery idea. Had you already been working on this embedder or did you just put it together since my first contact on 04/06/10?
Appreciate your great code. Clean, short, great performance, very nice. You mention on your blog that often people ask for features that are easy to create. I would love to contribute to the features on your controls. Email me if there is a way in which I can contribute.
Thanks
Victor Juri
Hi Victor,
The video embedder borne from a need I had to implement an easy whay to include videos from the most important video providers on our webwork platform (CMS); the idea to make it as gallery could be nice, the problem that I can see is for the thumbs list; not all video providers offer a valid API to get thumbs of videos as Youtube does… A variation of this plugin that works for self owned flv files is possible…
Bye,
Matteo
Hey Matteo,
How would I create the same video light box you have on http://patapage.com/ (Watch a Video) It is very nice, elegant.
Thanks
Matteo,
Excellent work. I ‘m pretty new to jquery and your mbcontainerplus addon is just what I needed for a current ct. I have a bit of a problem however. When I resize the browser my containers tend to scroll off the screen. Being very new to most of this I imagine my layout has a bug in it but I haven’t had any luck in figuring out where the issue is. Any advice would be most appreciated. You can see a sample of the page I’m having issues with here:

Thanks,
Scott
Dear Matteo Bicocchi,
I have reviewed many of your “OpenLab” portals and mb.ideas, the jQuery tools and the other 10 or so components on the mb.ideas.repostory site. Great stuff! I would like to continue a discussion via email directly or offline and talk about your tools, functionality and projects.
I can be contacted at my email.
Sincerely,
Phillip
Hi Phillip,
What would you like to discuss about?
Are you interested in any particular Open Lab project?
Thank you for the attention on our work;
Regards,
Matteo
P.S.: I tried to send you an email but it couldn’t be delivered.
Ciao Matteo!
Complimenti per tutti i tuoi lavori!
Stavo cercando online per realizzare un sito “single page” con uno slideshow di foto di sfondo che resta sempre e i contenuti che cambiano al click sul menu, praticamente uguale a come funzionano le pagine di esempio dei tuoi progetti jquery.
Riusciresti ad indicarmi il procedimento?
Grazie!
Ciao Marco,
per uanto riguarda la rotazione dello sfondo pubblicherò a breve un plugin; per far si che la pagina resti sempre la stessa devi inserire i contenuti via ajax sulla pagina o costruirti un iframe (ma sconsiglio) trasparente che occupi il 100% della pagina dove fai girare il tuo sito…
Sul mio sito utilizo entrambe le tecniche: le varie pagne descrittive sono caricate via Ajax, mentre le pagine demo dei singoli componenti sono degli iframe creati al volo dove punto all’url della pagina; queto per evitare la persistenza di scripts sulla single-page del sito.
Spero che ti possa essere stato di aiuto,
ciao
Matteo
Hi Matteo,
Love your site and your plugins. I really like the menu you have on top of the pages but can’t find a plugin for it. Can you tell me where i can find it? Thanks,
Igor
Hi Igor,
the plugin you are looking for is jquery.mb.extruder and you can download it here: http://pupunzi.open-lab.com/mb-jquery-components/jquery-mb-extruder;
I’m going to publish a new release of this plugin soon; it will have many fix and features.
Bye,
Matteo
Matteo,
Thank you for a quick reply. You misunderstood me. I am talking about horizontal menu which has “Home, About Me, MB.JQUERY.COMPONENTS, WHERE I LIVE, WHERE I WORK”. I love the line below the menu too. Thanks,
Igor
