Weekly bunch of project updates
Hi guys,
here's the weekly roundup of updates:
<br style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">1. uiUpload</span>
Gilles released a first beta version of the uiUpload component to try out. If you have not tried it before, give it a shot:
<a href="http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-ui/t/81f1cc3635fbc529">http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-ui/t/81f1cc3635fbc529</a>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">2. Generic callback and plugin methods</span>
There is now a generic callback function named $.ui.trigger that needs to be triggered by all UI modules, UI wide. If you have any questions that are not adressed in the developer guide, feel free to ask me and we will find a solution.
A also nice, but little known feature is the ability to use your own sub-plugins in your modules. You just need to have a plugins prototype in your function prototype ($.ui.draggable.prototype.plugins = {}) and then you'll be able to register plugins via $.ui.plugin.add (look at
drag.ext.js to see how it's done) and to call them in your module via $.ui.plugin.call('stop', this).
If all this sounds like black magic, don't give up, I will happily answer all questions so everybody will feel confortable about using the new methods. I have updated the developer guide to respect the recent changes:
<a href="http://docs.jquery.com/UI_Developer_Guide">http://docs.jquery.com/UI_Developer_Guide</a>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">3. Long live resizables!
</span>
It took me a bit longer than expected, but here they are: The first working beta of Resizables is ready to be tested on your local computers. It has a lot of nice options, like minHeight, maxHeight, minWidth, maxWidth, proxy resizing, handlers for each direction and much more (callbacks, of course ;-) ). And it works nicely together with all the other stuff of course.
A detailed explanation with follow soon in our wiki, for now, grab the code (ui.resize.js) and play around, or just play around with the demo: <a href="http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/plugins/ui/tests/resize.html">http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/plugins/ui/tests/resize.html
</a>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">4. New designer!
</span>I'd like to introduce to you Tom Klose, a talented interface designer who works in the same company than I (New Identity Agency, Mayence, Germany). He will support us in various ways - skinning, designing the UI website and more to follow. He's on holiday right now, so he won't introduce himself this week, if you're wondering ;-) I will give you an update soon!
Have fun!
