Re: [tweaks] The tweaks set for XWD 5.0.1
Thanks John, but what about the 'Full Screen Bitmap Background' we spoke of before?
I have attached it here as 'FullScreen Bitmap Background.web'
Of those you have included;
'Do Not Tile Background.xar' leaves white space on left side of page boundary
'Static Background.xar' causes an 'object expected' error and tiles the image on the left side of the page boundary.
'Tile Background Vertically.xar' also leaves white space on the left of the page boundary.
Is this expected behavior?
Thanks again - I think WD tweaks should be made available at the XaraXone shareware pages? (Gary ;))

No. What browser you are testing?
I mean error with static background.

Perhaps you still have WD 5.0.0? :confused:
Wait - what IE do you have installed?

You need "Static background" and "Don't tile background" on your page if you want your background image to start from left top corner of the window and not tile.

Not with the script you supplied before John, which works brilliantly (the one I attached a couple posts back)
I do have 5.0.1.7886 installed John.
I also have IE8 installed.
I just tested on my laptop and get all the same results as mentioned.
I'll update IE8 (still using RC1 at the moment in the desktop) and report back

The script you are talking about is included here and is called "Static background".
Can you check the code in the "Static background" placeholder? Perhaps I made a typo or something. :D

Re: [tweaks] The tweaks set for XWD 5.0.1
Slightly improved version attached.
Added one more tweak to stop background fill from scrolling (as discussed here: http://www.talkgraphics.com/showpost...6&postcount=16)
Download latest version.

Re: [tweaks] The tweaks set for XWD 5.0.1
Thanks John. The tweaks are great and now are Xtremely easy to use in Web Designer. :)

Re: [tweaks] The tweaks set for XWD 5.0.1
Thanks John. XWD is a great program, but your snippets and tweaks are bringing it alive!:)

Re: [tweaks] The tweaks set for XWD 5.0.1
Hi
I'm no doubt being very thick here but I unzipped the zip file to a directory (C:\Xara\Web Designer seemed a reasonable place), went into design gallery, clicked 'Disc design', selected the folder 'C:\Xara\Web Designer\XWD 501 Tweaks' and clicked 'Add' (this last bit was not in John's instructions but I couldn't see what else to do at this point).
I now have 'C:\Xara\Web Designer\XWD 501 Tweaks' appearing in the Design Gallery (no "Tweaks" section as in the instructions) and I see nothing under it that fits the description "Simple placeholders look like a single orange box with description". Help!

Well, I didn't think this can be confusing for anyone. :D

I think you have to remove what you had added and then add following directory:
C:\Xara\Web Designer\XWD 501 Tweaks\XWD 501 Tweaks
I believe you have it. ;)

Re: [tweaks] The tweaks set for XWD 5.0.1
Thanks John!
This is exactly what I was suggesting in another post about documenting these tweaks (as well as the exported javascript to help others provide additional functionality).
I'll have to check it when time permits.
I hope this either becomes a sticky post or gets added to XaraXone shareware page (or where ever appropriate)...

Re: [tweaks] The tweaks set for XWD 5.0.1
Sorry John but I don't follow you. I don't have a directory called 'C:\Xara\Web Designer\XWD 501 Tweaks\XWD 501 Tweaks'. I have 'C:\Xara\Web Designer\XWD 501 Tweaks' and in it are a bunch of xara files.

And if you add this directory to the Designs gallery you dont get the Tweaks section? Something goes wrong for sure.
Ok. So let's try it the other way. Remove what you had added to the Designs gallery. Delete 'C:\Xara\Web Designer\XWD 501 Tweaks' directory. Extract the archive to some other place. Just in case. Check if you have a bunch of xar files as well as subfolder 'XaraInfo' with 'XaraClip.txt' inside. It is present in the archive. Then add this newly extracted folder to the Designs gallery again. Tell me if it fails or not.

Re: [tweaks] The tweaks set for XWD 5.0.1
Hi John, I put the directory under c:\temp this time and it worked fine.
To clarify I originally had it under c:\program files\xara\web designer. So the 'program files' bit may have been to blame.

Hmm... it shouldn't actually. But who knows. Glad it works for you now! :)

Re: [tweaks] The tweaks set for XWD 5.0.1
Pretty darn brilliant and great service on top of that! You can't beat such a combination. Thanks, John.

Re: [tweaks] The tweaks set for XWD 5.0.1
New version available!
Added one Gallery popup background tweak (as discussed here: http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?t=37556).
If your page has gallery type pop ups (Web properties / Link / Popup photo), and you want it to shade the page when popup si active, then you can use this new tweak.
To use it, simply drag and drop the "Gallery background" twek to your page.
You'll see the new "--popups shade--" layer. It contains shading object and a script placeholder. Edit shadding object as you wish, but don't delete it. You can also add more objects to this layer.
That's it. All photo popups will have this layer on the background.
Download latest version.

Re: [tweaks] The tweaks set for XWD 5.0.1
Thanks John -- the new photo popup + background fade tweak works well.

Re: [tweaks] The tweaks set for XWD 5.0.1
Great set of tweaks! There were stuff I did not know existed, which is like getting a surprise gift. Thank you.
Question John; using sticky pop up, is it possible to alter javascript:my_close('mypopup1');my_open('mypopup2' );
so that it could work through iFrame from one child page to the mother page (which hosts the iFrame) or vice versa. In another words could I drill up/down the command order?

Have you tried changing target for a link? If you want a link to open in the parent window, select '_parent'. If you want a link to open in the child iFrame, you have to give it a name and then enter this name to the target field. Described here: http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?t=36753
-
Re: [tweaks] The tweaks set for XWD 5.0.1
Oh my!! Using _parent really is enough to send javascript link from iFrame to the parent to work with your sticky popup script. I thought that the page nested by the iFrame was deeper in object hierarchy so that one needs to use some intelligent slash/backslash/dot combination before the object name...but no. This is one of those rare cases when this coder stuff is easy.
I did not need to use the main script in the child page even, it was enough that it was in the parent page. Really nice!

John there is a possibility that some members change their User CP settings to show Number of Posts to Show Per Page differently to the Forum default.
This means that the page counts per thread will not be the same as is for members who leave it set at Forum Default.
-
Re: [tweaks] The tweaks set for XWD 5.0.1
Oh. Indeed. :D
Anyway, Steve, perhaps when we remove the old version attachment, it would be a good thing to add a link to the post with following version?
What do you think?
-
Re: [tweaks] The tweaks set for XWD 5.0.1
Can't John be allowed to always edit his original post (#1), so that he can post the current zip file? There he could also add comments about the newest release, date released, etc..

Re: [tweaks] The tweaks set for XWD 5.0.1

1. Some improvements.
2. Added background color for the tiling tweaks (as discussed here:http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?t=37629)

All comments are appriciated.
Download latest version.

Re: [tweaks] The tweaks set for XWD 5.0.1
John the manual is great addition to the tweaks. Thank You.

Re: [tweaks] The tweaks set for XWD 5.0.1
hi everyone
apologies for being stupid here but i cant get the tweaks to appear properly in the designs gallery.
the path i have is
C:\Program Files\Xara\Xara Web Designer\XWD 501 Tweaks & this folder contains another folder named XWD 501 Tweaks plus the manual, the manual htm files and the read me.txt.
when i open up the designs gallery & add the tweaks folder the path only goes up to \Xara Web Designer & shows a xara.gif, & some form images. i've tried shortening the path by putting the tweaks folder in the Xara folder but this doesnt seem to work properly either.
thanks for your help

Re: [tweaks] The tweaks set for XWD 5.0.1
Excellent! The 'manual' was a great help. :)
Lingo3, I had something similar. Does the tweak folder (in XWD) also have a little 'checkered' image in it?

After locating the file in design gallery. Double click the "XWD 501 Tweaks" folder.

Thanks Tom, tried that & i'm just getting the option to click on files which are obviously from the wrong folder.
Nickydude - yes i've got checker.gif plus, plus the xara logo & some rich text files. i noticed you managed to sort yours out, what do i need to do?
thanks again

Re: [tweaks] The tweaks set for XWD 5.0.1
I copied the Tweaks folder inside the main Xara Web Design Folder so I'm working from there.
I completely deleted the old Tweaks folder then copied the new one in it's place, then from inside XWD open the Design Gallery -> Disc Designs and select the Tweaks folder. Everything worked fine after that.

Re: [tweaks] The tweaks set for XWD 5.0.1
Many thanks once again John. Much appreciated :)

Re: [tweaks] The tweaks set for XWD 5.0.1
John - thanks for the updated tweakers!
Please note my post in the "what I'd like to see in WD" regarding an idea for an easier way to manage the updating of tweaks. Hopefully something like it could be incorporated in the next update of the program. You can find the suggestion here: http://talkgraphics.com/showpost.php...9&postcount=95
