Patapage will be out in the next days!

For all  web designers, a new suite of tools that add features available to web visitors in an unobstrusive way; Patapage gives you the power to enrich either static or dynamic web pages with additional contents and tools, without using any complex serverside solution!

For example…

what could your users do once patapage is used into your pages:

• They can read (and write if allowed) specific pataWiki (related contents);
• They can comment directly on your page;
• They can take a look to your flickr (or Picasa) gallery inside your page;
• They can contact you using an easy to set form specific for your page;
• They can rate contents or pages of your site;
• they can easly retweet your pages;
• they can read twits on specific tags directly on your page;
• they can search into your site using google search engine;

And many other things we are developing right now!

What would you have:

• A confortable backoffice where you can administer all contents inserted in your site (approve/unapprove contents, revert from history, manage spam, read form messages, get rates report,…).
• You can add as many site as you want and as many buttons as you need.
• You can use all the Patapage buttons actually available and all the once we are going to include in the future.

How does it works?

• Just create your button with its specifics, copy the few lines of generated code, paste it into your web page and it’s done, your page has now the new patapage feature!

version 2.4 , The mb.containerPlus with memory!

Finally out the mb.containerPlus with cookies manager; this issue was one of the most voted for this component, it allows to remember the state, the position and the dimensions of your container once the page is reloaded. Just add a”rememberMe” metadata on the specific container and the game is done! (the container must have an ID setted)

Get the last version!

Just published the release 1.5 of jquery.mb.extruder with great new issue:

• modified the flipText behavior (stronger than before).
• added “positionFixed” param to control the position of the extruder (true id default and the extruder doesn’t scroll with the page; if set to false it scrolls).
• added a method to disable/enable a voice on the fly:
  $.fn.disableExtruderVoice and $.fn.enableExtruderVoice

Take a look!

Published the new release of jquery.mb.gallery

Major issue and bugfix:

• Fixed a bug in IE that prevent the display of images if invoked a second time.
• Fixed a bug in IE that mismatch the top margin of the gallery.
• Now you can have links and images in the image description area.
