Now that the new release of jQuery 1.4 is settling down, it’s time to update my jQuery Mango plugin.
It doesn’t do much – just includes the jQuery library (version 1.4.2) into the head of your blog page.
Update: Plugin release 2 now includes the latest version of the BasePlugin cfc, to avoid error messages on upgrading.
Here's a plugin I've had on the back burner for a while, but Adam finally coaxed me into finishing it! (Thanks also to Adam for beta-testing it for me...)
CFFormProtect is a great anti-spam system written by Jake Munson, which uses a number of tests to determine if a blog comment is spam - all without any extra input required by the commenter. So say goodbye to those CAPTCHAs!
Another plugin I've been working on for a little while now, and I think it's ready for release!
This plugin creates a sidebar pod which shows your recently-listened tracks on Last.fm - you can see it in action on the side of my site.
Update: the plugin has been updated to version 1.0.6, adding more display options.
Following on from my previous post, I'll now expand on the BasePlugin.cfc component provided with Mango 1.3.
BasePlugin.cfc contains a number of commonly used, unchanging functions which will remove the need to specify them every time you write a plugin.
These include getters and setters, preference handling and saving, and access to the plugin's assets directory.
The easiest way to show you what's going on is with an example...
In Mango 1.3 the functionality of plugins has been extended to simplify matters for plugin developers.
The key new features are auto-installation, auto-copying of plugin assets files (scripts, images etc.) and a BasePlugin component with a bunch of useful functions in it.
