jQuery Colorbox with Blogger


1

Well, maybe most of you guys wondering on how integrate jQuery Colorbox Plugins into your Blogger. jQuery Colorbox Plugins are image view plugins that makes your blog looks more interactive and more presentable.

You could download the full package Colorbox V1.3.9. This will have the full example and the plugin scripts that you could integrate into your site, if you hosted you blog or site personally.

In this tutorial, I will show you how to integrate with Blogger.

Step 1

Login to your Blogger Dahsboard, and go to Design, then go to Edit HTML then click at Expand Widget Templates, the reason is that you will have the full access to your template scripts.


Step 2

Copy and paste these codes into your template just above </head> the tag.

<link href='http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/2863383/js/colorbox132/example5/colorbox.css' media='screen' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'/>
<script src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js' type='text/javascript'></script>
<script src='http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/2863383/js/colorbox132/jquery.colorbox-min.js' type='text/javascript'></script>

<script type='text/javascript'>
$(document).ready(function(){
//Examples of how to assign the ColorBox event to elements
$("a[rel='colorbox']").colorbox();
$("a[rel='example2']").colorbox({transition:"fade"});
$("a[rel='example3']").colorbox({transition:"none", width:"75%", height:"75%"});
$("a[rel='example4']").colorbox({slideshow:true});
$(".colorbox").colorbox();
$(".youtube").colorbox({iframe:true, innerWidth:650, innerHeight:550});
$(".iframe").colorbox({width:"80%", height:"80%", iframe:true});
$(".inline").colorbox({width:"50%", inline:true, href:"#inline_example1"});
});
</script> 

Step 3

Now, to add the function to your image just add class="colorbox" to your <a> tag of your image. Eample:

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoQd6JNA5xKZObUX2JbW8GUh6RD5PBMha7rkAbIaFl7MUZE_5l-7iUtDDAYV2njR2CC1luV2ERmHCgUNAkakfxjtRqcnHk6yBqkNNqBcAvdubQR1xjxMe-IBYOUD3zUtWpr4XlTtL3-HY/s1600/Safari 2.png" imageanchor="1" class="wptut" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoQd6JNA5xKZObUX2JbW8GUh6RD5PBMha7rkAbIaFl7MUZE_5l-7iUtDDAYV2njR2CC1luV2ERmHCgUNAkakfxjtRqcnHk6yBqkNNqBcAvdubQR1xjxMe-IBYOUD3zUtWpr4XlTtL3-HY/s400/Safari 2.png" width="197" /></a>

Adding Single jQuery Colorbox Popup

<script type="text/javascript">

</script>

Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 - Widget Browser


5

Latest product being introduced by Adobe Corporation was the Creative Suite 5, or also known as Adobe CS5. Well as all of us know that most designer and developer, have choose Adobe products to create most stunning design. For example, Adobe Photoshop, which is well known as the most popular design tools.

So many designs have been created by Photoshop, from image manipulation until web design. Since then, in my opinion so far Adobe Photoshop have been used almost by all user in designing world, but to forget also a lot and tons of software out there trying to beat Adobe Photoshop.

I managed to grab a copy a copy of Adobe Dreamweaver CS5. A bit of my past history, I've learned HTML by using Adobe Dreamweaver since ages before which was Macromedia Dreamweaver. And until now I'm still rely on Dreamweaver, (sometimes) just to get the perfect syntax, though.... :)

Well today, while I was mingling around with Dreamweaver CS5, I found out there was a cute add-ons which being integrate into this new Adobe Dreamweaver CS5, which was Widget Browser. In Dreamweaver CS3 and CS4, for us to use these pre-installed plugins, you need to use Dreamweaver Extension and some of these Extension you need to pay for it, right?!

So, in this small tutorial I'll try my best to show a bit of these Widget Browser that I discovered and how to use it. And for me it'll help us especially web designer to speed up our work and make our bosses or our client happy. Let's get started.

Acually in Windows based PC, there a lot of software out there that you could use to optimize your machine such as Raxco Perfect Disk, Ultimate Defrag and many more. For Mac, I recommended Onyx, a free software which you could use.

OnyX is a multifunction utility for Mac OS X. It allows you to verify the Startup Disk and the structure of its System files, to run miscellaneous tasks of system maintenance, to configure the hidden parameters of the Finder, Dock and of some of Apple's own applications, to delete caches, to remove a certain number of files and folders that may become cumbersome and more.

Actually, my MacBook Pro having a slow startup and some font errors whereby my XAMPP controller was having some "alienize" font. So, I decided to search for a solution on how to overcome this problem. Then I found a forum about Mac user and one of the guy suggested Onyx to cleanup my font.

The software is just around 15mb, and very user friendly with all alerts and popup. It also managed to make my MacBook startup faster, you can feel the difference after you cleanup all those cache files.

This second edition also stress more on how to play around with jQuery functions and also a bit touch on jQuery UI.

Meebo Bar are using jQuery UI as their GUI for some of the items.
