Site Loading ...

Filed in Main Thursday May 11, 2006

I installed the code for my collapsible sidebar on here… perhaps a bit prematurely… I dunno…

I havent fully tested it yet, but the sidebar seems to work right… evrything with a handle can still be dragged to reorder the sidebar… but now you should be able to collapse each item as well… the contents should drop out and go away on the first click… then fade back in on the second click… blind up and down when you click the little toggle switch to the right of the handle.

the page should then remember both the position that item was in… and if the box was collapsed or not.

 test it out and let me know if it works please.

    The sidebars appear to work great in Firefox 1.5. Where can I learn how to do this?

    Hey Shara,

    If I cant get this working as a full plugin soon… Im prolly just gonna post the source files and see what other people can do with it…

    Its set up in a way that I like a lot right now… but Ive been told its too confusing to release as a plugin right now…

    Im trying to simplify it to make it more user friendly before I put out the first public version.

    as I get closer I could email you the source or something…

    Hi John,

    I would really appreciate an email when/if you release the plugin or source code. I would certainly be willing to help with feedback on implementing the source code, if you would be interested in that. I’ve tried several other scripts (javascript, php) and though I got them to work properly, with ease, none of the scripts I have tried are half as cool as what you use here. If you have paypal, I would even be willing to make a small donation to help towards development and release. Thanks.

    Great looking site. Why not fill it with content now?

    Wow, I really like that sidebar. How long till release?

    Would it be possible to make all the elements of the site movable like that? Allowing you to move the main body around and add another sidebar should you so desire.

    I’m planning a theme for my blog which has a limited amount of screen space (no scrolling down, everything in a box centred on the page) and allowing the reader to move stuff around on the page would be really useful. It would also be good to be able to layer the boxes on top of each other, with them only coming to the front when clicked on.
