Jim Atwood TV New Site

Jim Atwood — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 13:49:55 +0000

Recently I developed my JimAtwood.TV website and used a custom theme from Press75 called VodPod. The theme was a challenge to customize because the javascript was a bit finicky. Not all plugins work with this site and the FancyBox JQuery script doesn’t work with IE8. That is more of a problem with IE8 I feel, so it’s best to use any other browser such as Firefox 3.5 to view the site at it’s best. The theme is great and it was fun customizing it. You can check out the site at http://www.jimatwood.tv.

Slimbox2 Plugin for Wordpress

Jim Atwood — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 07:55:41 +0000

The theme I use here on Ricochehost is called Geometric by WooThemes. One of the features tied to the Portfolio section was the use of a Wordpress called Slimbox. The version I installed originally was 1.3 that used MooTools v1.2dev according the JS file. While custom coding the idTabs sidebox on Ricochehost, I noticed that MooTools was causing idTabs to not work. Thus I had a conflict going on between MooTools and JQuery.

Well, after searching around the internet I discovered an variation of the Slimbox plugin called Slimbox2 that uses JQuery. However, there was no Wordpress plugin. However, after reading the notes on the download site, I found that you simply had to copy over the existing Slimbox files and have it point to the JQuery JS library. After getting Slimbox2 up and running on Wordpress 2.8 I discovered that “presto”, my idTabs box worked like a charm along with the Portfolio feature. Slimbox2 also has some customization features which I plan to check out as well to make the user experience more intuitive. Right now I’m missing a “close” button and need to add that on there. Stay tuned for additional info about the Slimbox2 for Wordpress.

Note that after copying my files over the original Slimbox and adjusting the JQuery path and plugin info, I was able to effectively have a plugin that I could transfer across multiple installations. Works well.
