Beyond Coding

Latest release: v0.5.3
Please check for the latest version on Github!

A few days ago I was asked to make a simple slideshow. My initial thought was, there must be a ton of solutions available for jQuery. I could easily draw inspiration from them.

I was wrong. Whilst there are a few nicely done slideshow plugins for jQuery, the majority of them are either poorly written or far too complicated.

So, I decided to code my own plugin from the ground up. Meet Slideshow Lite!

The plugin is only tested with jQuery 1.3, but it should also work on jQuery 1.2.

Features

• Unobtrusive JavaScript, simply load it and that’s it
• Clean, semantic HTML structure
• Easy to use
• Customisable
• Free to use or to modify (GPL/MIT dual license)!

Latest release: v1.2.3

Initially I was going to wait for my Layerful Framework (a transparent layering framework for Kohana) to mature before releasing its bundled modules. However, since this Authlite module can be used independently to Layerful, I am releasing it now.

What is Authlite

Authlite is a user authentication module for Kohana.

What’s the difference between Authlite and Auth?

Kohana comes with an official Auth module which does exactly what was described in the last paragraph, so why another module then?

It is because Authlite offers greater flexibilty. Please read the features outlined below to find more.

Features

• Legacy database compatibility
• Configurable database columns
• Multiple instances of Authlite
• Does not enforce user roles
• Auth-like syntax and usage
• Lightweight

If you don’t already know, endless scroll (or infinite scrolling) is a popular technique among web 2.0 sites such as Google Reader and Live Image Search, where instead of paging through items using the traditional pagination technique, the page just keeps loading with new items attached to the end.

I have developed a jQuery plugin to easily achieve this.

Requirement: jQuery 1.2+

The plugin is tested with jQuery 1.2.6, 1.3 and 1.4.

There are a few options to customise the behaviour of this plugin:

• bottomPixels (integer) – the number of pixels from the bottom of the page that triggers the event
• fireOnce (boolean) – only fire once until the execution of the current event is completed
• fireDelay (integer) – delay the subsequent firing, in milliseconds. 0 or false to disable delay.
• loader (string) – HTML loader
• data (string) – plain HTML data
• insertAfter (string) – jQuery selector syntax: where to put the loader as well as the plain HTML data
• callback (function) – callback function, accepets one argument: fire sequence (the number of times the event triggered during the current page session)
• resetCounter (function) – resets the fire sequence counter if the function returns true, this function could also perform hook actions since it is applied at the start of the event
