Lightbox Plus Gallery Tutorial

March 16, 2012 by Dan Zappone Leave a Comment

Learn how to add fancy lightbox effects to your images in WordPress. You can add the lightbox effect to individual images or all images, and your photo galleries. Lightbox Plus is a small easy to use lightweight plugin. It’s a good compliment to the more powerful and more complicated NextGEN Gallery.

Going to be @SXSW Interactive

SXSW Interactive
SXSW Interactive

I’ll be at SXSW Interactive later this week. I’m not sure which talks, panels and events I’m going to attend just yet.  I do plan on attending at least one or two of the keynotes – hopefully the Ray Kurzweil conversation with Lev Grossman “Expanding Our Intelligence Without Limit” and Jennifer Pahlka’s “Coding the Next Chapter of American History“.  Quite a few of the featured sessions look good too.

If you’re going too there leave me a comment about what events you might be attending.

Salesforce Add-On for Gravity Forms (bug fix)

October 12, 2011 by Dan Zappone Leave a Comment

Gravity Forms - WordPress Form Management
Gravity Forms - WordPress Form Management

UPDATE: The issue issue fixed as of version 1.1.1 so I am removing my hotfix as it is no longer needed. Thank to Zack Katz creator of the Gravity Forms Salesforce Add-on for the quick fix.

I use Gravity Forms for a lot of things.  Recently I needed to integrate some forms with Salesforce the wildly popular CRM system.  At first I developed a more or less manual method to post the form information to Salesforce and redirect back to the confirmation page.  This was impractical in that every time one of the content contributors needed to create form that would post to Salesforce I had to manually build the redirect. By chance I was looking for something else in the WordPress plugin repository and ran across the Gravity Forms Salesforce Add-on.

This plugin is a free Salesforce Add-On for Gravity Forms that adds contacts directly into Salesforce, making lead generation even easier to use with WordPress.  The plugin advertised that it added one setting, a check a box when configuring your forms, and all of those form entries would be added to Salesforce.  There was only one problem.  Checkbox or no the plugin was posting every form to Salesforce, which meant that many forms that shouldn’t be posting contact information to Salesforce were doing so.

New Forums Soon

October 11, 2011 by Dan Zappone Leave a Comment

Roman Forum and Colosseum

I’m switching the forums back to bbPress now that there is a bbPress WordPress plugin for it.  I’m going to try to port all the messages back but there I’m not sure how that will work out.  So please be patient if you feel you need to post to the forums.  I had previously used bbPress but is seemed that no progress was being made regarding development so I switched to Mingle Forum.  Turns out bbPress was more useful – I was able to track topics better and respond better to posts. So that said I need to fix a few style issue and and try to port the posts back to bbPress and then the forums will be available once again.

UPDATE: In retrospect I’ve decided not to import the existing forum content for a couple of reasons.  One, I don’t have the time to do it.  And, two, I’d just like to start fresh with the forums and simplify them.

New features coming to Lightbox Plus

I have a number of new features in the works for Lightbox Plus for WordPress and I thought I’d go ahead and mention some of them here now. I was hoping to release the version today or tomorrow but it looks like it’s probably going to be later in the week. In any event I have the following items planned.

Lightbox Positioning

An option to set fixed positioning that will keep the lightobox centered in the visitor’s viewport while scrolling the page.  Also the option to specify the horizontal and vertical position of the lightbox on the page.

Lightbox Plus Interface

Option to turn on or off grouping labels, and a fix for the grouping labels not always saving when changed.  Option to turn of scroll bars even if content overflows the lightbox.  And finally and option to open the lightbox immediately when a visitor lands on the page.

Inline Lightboxes

Ability to set additional option for them such as Overlay Opacity, Overlay Close, Transition Type and Resize Speed.

Lightbox Plus for WordPress Admin Interface

I intend to reorganize some of the elements of the WordPress admin interface to provide a more consistent experience for users and make it easier to find settings.

New Lightbox Plus Release, version 1.6.8

March 19, 2010 by Dan Zappone Leave a Comment

Lightbox Plus version 1.6.8 has been released.  It fixes several issue such as the double rel=lightbox[] tag that was being generated.  I also fixed some issues with the style sheets especially the back end style sheet for the admin panel and the IE 6 specific style sheets in some of the themes.

The main new feature that I added was the ability to auto-lightbox links to images that did not have an image in the link (i.e. text links to images.)  I also added additional control over the width and height of images which can allow for interesting display options and different handling for long text.

Lightbox Plus now also works with WordPress MU.  It has been tested with version 2.9.2 of WordPress MU and works quite well.  It can be enabled globally or individually.

Full list of changes below.

Support Forums Back Up

March 19, 2010 by Dan Zappone 1 Comment

After a lot of wrestling with bbPress I finally got the message forums back up and running.  There were three plugins that were causing various problems ranging from a 500 error on the server to screwing with the output on the pages and causing html not to be rendered.  They were promising plugins and I will look at them again in the futrure – adSense for bbPress, bb SEO Tools, and Google Sitemap Generator.  In any even I’m happy to have that problem behind me for now and hope that people will continue to make use of the message boards.

Support Boards are Down

March 17, 2010 by Dan Zappone Leave a Comment

For some irritating and unknown reason the support boards are down right now giving a 500 error for no obvious reason.  If anyone has any bright ideas I’d certainly be happy to entertain them.  Will post when they are working again.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

WordPress/Twitter/Facebook Integration

June 25, 2009 by Dan Zappone 2 Comments

Hoping to get this right the first time…

The idea is that I have all my blog integrated to post to both Facebook and Twitter so that I can simplify my life and get more generative tendancies flowing rather than trudging through the peat bog.

If all goes well this should result in a lot more activity on both Twitter and Facebook from me.
