Re: [tweaks] The tweakset for XWD 6
So perhaps someone can help me with my confusion about these tweaks. Is it possible (and if not it should be,) to create a page that has a tiled image running along the top of the page background, 100% browser width, a separate color in the center of the page, again 100%, and then another tiled image along the bottom of the page 100%, without having to create a single page background image (that limits my vertical page height to the height of the image.)
Probably makes no sense how I'm trying to explain it. I want a tiled image that runs 100% of the top and bottom of the page background, and I want the middle area to expand, automatically pushing the bottom tiled image as I add content.
Sorry that I cannot explain it better than that.

PP - can you find an exact example of what you are asking on the web?

Re: [tweaks] The tweakset for XWD 6
Really useful - again, thanks John.
Question: in Dynamic Page, can I have two Dynamic Place Holders, side by side to create two columns that could be of unequal length? I have tried giving each 'column a unique name but it's still the left-hand one that seems to dictate the length of the page. If longer, the right-hand column will encroach into the Footer.
I feel sure you have a work-around!

Re: [tweaks] The tweakset for XWD 6
One more please John, re Dynamic Page. Can I get a background texture image in place of the background panel, please, and is there any control on tiling?
Thanks again.

Re: [tweaks] The tweakset for XWD 6
Q1. Two dynamic columns on one page.
Current tweak does not support this. You have to know in advance which column will always be longer and place it in the dynamic placeholder. If this is impossible at all and any appropriate redesign of the page is not an option, then let me know and I may provide improved script with multi-column support. ;)
Q2. Background.
The object with id="my_background" is used as a background. It can be any object/group in WD, you just have to apply this name to it. Check the name of the default blue background rectangle in the tweak.
But it is always stretched, no tiling support. On the other hand, you can have a code placeholder with any custom html element that may have tiling for example, as a background applying this name to it.

Re: [tweaks] The tweakset for XWD 6
Very many thanks for such rapid response. I think I can get my client to cope with one dynamic column and another (or more) that must be no longer. In the longer term it would be really helpful to have a multi-column solution but what you have supplied is already superb.
On a slightly different tack I am assuming that I need to apply the 'renaming' workaround (as in V5 tweakset) if I have multipe dynamic pages in the site?

No, I don't think so. Doesn't it working without renaming?

Please add this, especially useful for long category menues and actual page content that are both dynamic. Page content would usually be longer than menues but not always.
Also how do I add this dynamic page to a website? Double clicking it opens a new site I think, do I copy the page into other site some how?

Re: [tweaks] The tweakset for XWD 6
Ok. Here's the Dynamic Page tweak that supports multi-column layouts. To add as many columns as you want, simply make copies of the yellow rectangle and fill them with the appropriate content the same way as with the previous version of this tweak.
Please confirm that it works the way you want. If it does, I'll replace the old one with this in the next version of the tweakset.
See attachment.

Right click on the tweak in the designs gallery and select "Import to new page" option.

Re: [tweaks] The tweakset for XWD 6
Just tried out the new dynamic page and is working great with two long sections. There is a minor delay with moving the footer down/streching the page which I guess is because there's javascript modifying the css after the page load or something. Is there any way WD could export pages with a flexible page length by default, using html only? I understand static page widths which are fine but it would be nice to have flexible page heights without the need for extra javascript. Maybe by naming footer elements and backgrounds.
Anyway the new dynamic page is much appreciated!

Re: [tweaks] The tweakset for XWD 6
It would be great to have the reg set up the "set line width" to "none" so that I don't have to keep changing it every time the program opens.
-
Re: [tweaks] The tweakset for XWD 6
PP this is the wrong thread for your comment.
This thread is about Web Designer code snippets (tweaks) which are not related to program registry settings.
However, so you don't go away empty handed, you can set your default template (document) line width to none and save it again as the default template.
This will then always be set as none when the program opens.

Re: [tweaks] The tweakset for XWD 6
Can I use these tweaks in XPDP6 in particular covoxers one for locking layers or is there a way to do it in XPDP6 anyway?
I know the link to the tutorial and or do I type the lock;popup1 in the properties?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8Hba...ayer_embedded#!
I am concerned that this will corrupt the XPDP6 if I try to load it into this program.
-
Re: [tweaks] The tweakset for XWD 6
Adding the tweaks to the designs gallery won't corrupt anything, it's just a list of files. Some tweaks won't function in P&GD (I'm assuming your XPDP6 means this, though I'm not sure - please clarify??) as they require WD6 or DP6 HTML filter core, which P&GD does not have.
-
Re: [tweaks] The tweakset for XWD 6
Thanks for your prompt reply sledger.
Yes you are correct. I do meanXara designer Pro 6. I actually used WD6 just now to construct the page using the tweak and imported it into XDP6 and it was fine. So all is working well. I have one query though. and it may be for another thread, although it is included in the tweak. How can I get a popup layer to link to another pop up layer? Creating subpopups as it were. The current pop ups when clicked just close the pop up. Can I get it to open another pop up with the javascript code that is included in the tweak. This is a powerful method for chunking down to more specific information all on one page and would be particularly useful for relational presentations.
Best wishes,
Keep up the great work. Great software and great bunch of people working behind the scenes.

Re: [tweaks] The tweakset for XWD 6
I must be doing something wrong. I am trying to use the dynamic page. The footer shows up shifted to the left and my navbar also moves.
I have attached a screenshot of what it looks like in XDP6 and you can see what it looks like when I publish it here http://new.centralbailbond.com/gallery2.php

Re: [tweaks] The tweakset for XWD 6
Your navigation bar needs to be arrested. ;) Try bringing it to the front. But the rest looks OK.
-
Re: [tweaks] The tweakset for XWD 6
Gary: Not sure I understand. It is a navbar and is attached to both mouseover and mouseoff. I selected it and tried to check arrange menu, but all options to move it are grayed out (since it's a navbar?)
Also, since it is occupying the same layer as the Tweak placeholder (mouseOff) I'm guessing that is why it's jumping to the top of the "dynamic area" instead of staying at the top of the page as it should.
Also, notice the footer shifts to the right on the webpage while it is centered in Xara?

1) Is there a way to remove that white border from a popup photo?

If you could help with that link or with an answer, would be great!
2) How can we get rid of that advice that appear when cursor is over a photo?
3) How can I add the Popup Title in the center of the line? I discovered that just adding multiple spaces before photo's name doesn't resolve this.
Thank you.

Re: [tweaks] The tweakset for XWD 6
A Google search found these xara tweaks for the highslide.js
http://xara-users.info/demos/highsli...2010/index.htm
I tried a placeholer with this inside and it removed the border and outline
<script type="text/javascript">
hs.outlineType = null;
</script>
<style type="text/css">
.highslide-image {
border: 0px;
}
</style>
The placeholder must have the <head> name
The popup notice is inside the highslide.js file, you can edit this if you are skilled.

Re: [tweaks] The tweakset for XWD 6
Thank you Xufa for your help. That was what I needed for q. nr. 1!! You've helped me so much.
Well, it looks now I can accept that advice that appear when cursor is over a photo....I don't think it's so annoying anymore.
But I still want my popup name or image caption (alt text) to be place in the center of the line...if I'll have to use photo names or describe images some time. :)

Hi covoxer
I tried using the Do not scroll background.
I have tried validating my code using html validator in firefox and it suggestes the following regarding the Do not scroll background
<style> isn't allowed in <div> elements
What code can I use in the placeholder to enable a clean validation?
<style type="text/css">body {background-attachment:fixed;}</style>
html validation brings this up
line 207 column 1 - Warning: <style> isn't allowed in <div> elements
line 206 column 2 - Info: <div> previously mentioned
<div style="position: absolute; left: 362px; top: 6px; width: 223px; height: 80px;">
<style type="text/css">body {background-attachment:fixed;}</style>
Thanks

Re: [tweaks] The tweakset for XWD 6
Assign the "<head>" name to the placeholder object. This will place code in the head section.
