jquery

I just added a new slideshow mode to the Views Slideshow module. You can see a demo at Drupal Hub. It uses JQuery and views, so any type of view could be made into a slideshow. The current modes are single frame, as seen in the left sidebar of the demo page, and with 'thumbnails' as shown on the content of that page.

I also revamped the themes for it, making it easier to theme specific elements of the slideshow.

Personally, even though it's a new group, I would like to see the focus be a bit broader than just the jquery module. For instance, I have a couple of modules I've contributed that use jquery, and other people have as well. If we're going to create a central repository for plugins, it would be useful if nothing else to have a forum for discussion of hooking other modules into this.

Has anyone had a chance to check out the new JQuery UI? I think it is what people have been referring to as Interface2.

Update: It looks like Dimitri has created the UI project to deal with jQuery UI in D6. I have just created the jQuery UI Backport project to allow the library to be used in D5 without breaking anything.

Ran across this 'speedtest' page today, it has interesting results especially cross-browser:

If you run it on FF ( at least on my iMac and a nearby Vista machine ) moo and prototype are much faster, but extjs wins hands down on Safari ( OS X ) and IE7 on Vista. jQuery is middling IMHO the benefits in developer satisfaction are worth the speed cost vs prototype.

Discuss.

Just a quick pointer to the jQuery Interface Sortable module that we added last week. In 5.x, it depends on the excellent jQuery Update and jQuery Interface modules. In 6.x (or HEAD -- I'm still trying to figure out how I got that 6.x release node in there), it only requires jQuery Interface.

¿Qué pasa cuando hacemos un content type de unos 20 campos en CCK y se hace tediosa la carga ? Podriamos crear grupos de campos pero... por qué no un "Wizard" ?. Con unas pocas lineas de jQuery y algo de PHP podemos armar algo realmente vistoso.

Okay, so the story goes like this:

1) The SPAjax module (4.7 only) has a feature that allowed you to apply (Scriptaculous) Javascript effects to Drupal messages - allowing the "fade yellow" technique, pulsating, or shaking of the message divs. I missed this on my Drupal 5 sites and wanted to implement it in JQuery. Easy, right?

2) JQuery's effects library is called Interface. I couldn't find a version of Interface that would work with JQuery 1.0.1 (the version in Drupal core).

3) In order to update the JQuery in core, you need John Resig's compat-1.0.js script which allows backwards compatibility with scripts written for JQuery 1.0.x (such as everything in Drupal core). So now we need a module to include the compat-1.0.js file.

4) Interface.js is a relatively large file ~80K. It's "parts" (individual effects) are available separately, but this only increases the possibility that two modules will include the same (or worse two different versions of the same) scripts. So... now we need a central module to include a single interface.js file on the page when needed.

So here's what we ended up with:

Well, after many hours of development, experimentation, API referencing, and good ol' fashioned beating our heads against our desks, we have finally got an initial release of the Übercart module package available for download. This is being considered an alpha release, with the official 1.0 release being many development hours away as we build on and flesh out some of the core systems. However, the module package as it stands is able to run e-commerce sites and is already being used in live sites. Everyone is welcome to showcase their Übercart site in our forums!
