not at the moment.. but you will have another fine way to get excatly what widgets does, only within the theme options. I tried to get the API to work, but what widget provides hardly incorperates with how Bloxpress works.

BUT! Bloxpress has its own Widget-API. Widgets in Bloxpress are the “blocks”, short ‘Blox’.. you can have as many blocks as you like, as many columns in any theme you please and i will continously write new block-widgets based on the Bloxpress-API.

The difference between Widget Plugin and Bloxpress is that your visitors can “do the widget thing” too. For you as owner you will get an admin menu that offers basicly the same functionality as the Widget plugin. I guess you wont miss it after all. You can still sort your content.. However.. it doesn’t make all that sense because you vistors will overthrow it. Thats why i call the admin-layout a “preset” and this basicly only reflects what Bloxpress is all about. Flexibility for your visitors.

so… Widgets wont be supported for now since Bloxpress has its own widget system. Maybe in some crazy way i can hack my way around it but at the moment there is more importantly the Codebase to be completed.

This is all a whole different area compared to other themes. Youll see. Too much to explain now, got work to do ??

Okay maybe i didn’t made myself clear enough in the first post. I will remove the download of the OLD VERSION which is not called Bloxpress2 and not subject of this discussion. The version i am talking about is NOT AVAILABLE YET and will be released SOON.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

“this bug from old bloxpress 0.4 is haunting me.”

Subject is Bloxpress 2 and the DEMO of the latest build

This theme is way different from the old one. It has been entirely rewritten and therefore has nothing to do with the old version. just forget the old version and try this one when it gets released. I think that should help.

If you want to help then test the demo-page in your browser and see if it works for you. If you find anything that is wrong just post here or in the comments at the demoblog (Or preferebly use the bugtracker). Thanks.

Hi all… i just wanted to notice you about progress on the BloxPress development. I was too busy to work on this recently and kinda was distracted by other stuff.

The beta contained only one urgent bug which was also hard to track and only reported by a few and so i switched priorties. However .. i have rewritten everything from the scratch and will relaunch the whole project in a few.

I hope you will like the upcoming one as much as the current. I have added some nifty new stuff. ??

Best regards,

Hey plastiquemonkey

i have answered you on my comments, but i saw this thread so ill just copy my hint:

For removing all borders, type this somewhere in your CSS:

img { border: 0; }

For removing only borders on linked images, put this line:

a img { border: 0; }

Best regards

the latest entry cant be found by my script because there is a space between the link an the image-tag

...> <img ..

that’s very uncommon and so i don’t check for things like that. maybe that’s the issue? as for the other pictures i can hardly tell what is working and what’s not. the other ones look good and should be replaced properly.

there is now a version 0.2 available, checking if an image is linked or if it is a link to a normal website.

the plugin adds the rel automatically.. it,s like.. you drop it in and it works. theres not much to it. it should work straight away.

if you have trouble, post your website and ill check what the problem could be. actually i couldnt think of anything. i am just matching and replacing .. :/

<a[anything]href="[anything].(jpg|gif|png)"[anything]><img[anything]

Here is my checklist:

– begins with A,
– has href,
– last part of link ends with an image extension,
– IMG follows the closing A-tag

If all is okay:
-> append “rel=lightbox” to the end of the A-tag.

thats it… it must work, if not .. there is something in the HTML written where my pattern fails upon OR there are errors within other Javascripts OR you havent setup the path-vars within the lightbox.js

hope that helps..

Hi.

I just tried Zaps over on his blog and it gave me an Javascript Error and also it just looked like a normal linked image. With my plugin you have no errors and also it looks smooth (centered, with border and closebutton, while background blurs) and you dont have to write anything into your image-tag by hand.

The plugin i wrote “scans” for linked images in your posts and applies its magic to them. Furthermore it can have “captions” which are based on the image title-attribute and it is compatible with any image upload script you might use on your blog including the one from WP2.0.

To have popups like this you dont need any html skills at all and the script is very light written. nearly no overhead and the necessary HTML for the popup is madeup clientside with some DOM-Magic.

I am really not into the Zap_ImgPop and only went to developers blog to see his demo and as far as i can say Lightbox is easier to use and better looking. If there are any styling options or even an adminpanel on Zap_ImgPop i have to say that you will miss a configuration panel on the wp-lightbox, even though i think you really won’t need any. If you want to change something then exchange the images provided or tweak the CSS.

It is completly dynamic and compatible to all major browsers.

EDIT: i just tried Zaps again and seen it in full effect. Looks like the error only appears on first visit. However.. there is one error. His looks cool too and is draggable.. It is hard to contrast them now except for that error. I like his too. Cant tell. The Lightbox PopUp is pretty much straight forward compared.

UTW definitly is! .. but you have to tag for yourself tho ??

i just went through the past 6 months and began tagging, since i installed it just a few days ago for the first time.. hard task, but worth it. ??

try this, if you want it for categories:
https://www.hitormiss.org/projects/weighted-categories

And here is the one, i think you was talking of in the first place. You’re lucky. I still had it untouched ?? Get it from my webspace:

I have/had same problems with wordpress creating heavy loads. Not sure if this matches the above, but maybe it helps if i share my expirience with this..

Every time i posted an entry it took long to load… the post was saved, but shortly after the server went down or my page gone incredible slow. One time it was so heavy that the whole server crashed. My hoster told me that the file which is eating all system-RAM is “post.php” in the wp-admin folder.

I think it has something to do with the trackback attempts. Maybe it trys to ping every https:// link and gets no response or something.. then loops till it is dead. I doubt it, because it is known that pingin slows down posting.. in my case it crashes the server (maybe).

After i had disabled everything regarding pingin and trackback i could use my blog again. i have no plugins modifying something in my adminarea, hacks editing admin files or anything like it. it must be something in the post.php

Btw.. this issue is out of the box. i tried clean installs, disabled plugins one by one etc.. no luck.

Well done! Thumbs up! Nice selection of colors. If i hadn’t just redesigned my page i would consider yours. ?? I like this time of year too.

tg: the reply is already in my response before and to shorten it, i’ll quote rmhsmusic in reply: “Call it what you will, it’s driving much more innovation and user-friendliness than I’ve seen in a long time.”

Considering this your example with the gun is pointless since “gun” and “shooting” has negative effects. My application and the whole Web2.0 dicussion has no negative sides in their context. Also i can’t find any reasons in your replys why this is so-and-so and better-be-like.

Maybe this one ?
“[…]when it comes to practical use, it shouldn’t be used for the sake of being used.”

Here comes my example: I shouldn’t use “soap” just for the sake of using “soap”. i should rather only use “soap” where my hands are dirty, right? .. come on.. gimme a break.

That “web2.0” means nothing is wrong btw… read this, this and this and maybe also this

And furthermore: This is not a Web 2.0 discussion and not to be overtaken. This is about a addon i write which actually enhance wordpress and user expirience. It is really that simple ??
’nuff said..

@everyone:
There is no download yet! ??

I am busy in development but made some good progress in the last week and over the weekend so i can say that i am pretty close to get something public soon. Stay tuned. Latest infos can always be found on the website.

Thanks for all the nice feedback recently.
