New OurFuture.eu - Running on aFramework
Published Monday 22nd of February 2010
I've mentioned before that I've been semi-busy (I still find time to snorkel :) with freelance.
A few days ago we went live with the new site (OurFuture.eu) and I'm pleased with how it all worked out.

Sidkritik.se - Få konstruktiv kritik på din hemsida
Published Monday 15th of February 2010
Många forum har en avdelning för kritik på hemsidor och de är ofta rätt aktiva. Jag har däremot aldrig sett en sida helt dedikerad till just hemsiderecensioner så jag bestämde mig för att bygga en.

aFramework Release
Published Monday 28th of December 2009
I've put it up for too long now but I've finally made a (beta) release of aFramework to the public.
I've had some freelance the last couple of months (a new version of "Our Life as Elderly") which has meant that I've had to fix certain things with aFramework like brushing up all the admins and fixing a couple of bugs.
The main thing though is that aFramework now natively supports more than one language on the same site. Each language gets its own URL like: mysite.com (default language), mysite.com/sv/ (swedish), mysite.com/es/ (spanish) etc.
I've also made tons of other fixes, tweaks and optimizations. If you check the svn commits you'll see plenty of them the last few months.
Anyway, as it all started to shape up quite nicely I figured it was time to release it to the public so I put together a super-simple one-page-style and a zip with the latest code and put it all on a-framework.org (everything else was taken :/).
There's a demo too where you can check out most of the features as well as try out the admin.

The Site Looks Weird in FF3
Published Tuesday 30th of June 2009
I've been doing more bug-fixing lately, and one I did recently introduced several new ones in FF3 but not in Chrome, Opera, Safari or FF3.5.
What I did was I added a "Continue Reading"-link at the bottom of the article on the home-page. In order to style it without using a class I used the :last-of-type pseudo-class:
#article > p:last-of-type = $icon;As you can see I'm using a type of CSS-constants (new version in the works btw), and because many other selectors should be icons as well they're all merged by the constants-parser so in the end i end up with something like this:
#article > p:last-of-type,
#article > dl:last-child dt,
#quick-about > p:last-child {
/* Icon styling */
}What seems to happen is that when Firefox chokes on one of the selectors it ignores (or improperly parses) the entire block.
Since 3.5 is out I expect it to start taking over so I thought I'd leave this bug as it is.
Sorry for any inconvenience!

Bug Fixin'
Published Wednesday 24th of June 2009
My evening was kind of free today and I felt like coding so I took the time to sort out some annoying bugs I've been having with aFramework v3, and hence AndreasLagerkvist.com as well.
Here's a list of the updates:
- I've solved the case of the missing RSS-feed.
- I had a bug where line-breaks weren't allowed in comments - pretty bad, but fixed now.
- Removed previous-link from first page recent-comments.
- Now sorting the plugins by name.
- Now the date of a comment links to the comment, the author's name links to his/hers website.
- Fixed broken pagination for search-results.
+ some more, even less interesting fixes.
Stay tuned for real articles :)

Super Simple Ajax (Without a Framework)
Published Friday 12th of June 2009
If you're looking for the bare minimum when it comes to doing cross-browser GET or POST XHR then this might be the script for you.
I know there's hundreds (probably thousands) of these scripts out there already but even the most lightweight ones I could find seemed kind of bloated.
Example
// GET latest-comments.php and update the #latest-comments element
superSimpleAjax({url: 'latest-comments.php'}, 'latest-comments');
// GET article with ID 12 and alert its contents
superSimpleAjax({
url: 'get-article.php',
data: 'id=12',
callback: function (data) {
alert(data);
}
});
// POST a comment to post-comment.php
superSimpleAjax({
method: 'POST',
url: 'post-comment.php',
data: 'author=John Doe&email=johndoe@johndoe.com&content=Hi, my name is John Doe',
callback: function (data) {
alert('Thanks for your comment!');
}
});Grab the code from Google Code. It's about 1k uncompressed.
Enjoy!

Random jQuery Plug-ins
Text Shadow
Frankly a rather crappy text-shadow plug-in (can one be done well? :) but nevertheless it does the job in some cases.
Center
This little pluggy centers an element on the screen using either fixed or absolute positioning. Can be used to display messages, pop up images etc.
Ajax Loader
Use this plug-in when you want to inform your visitors that a certain part of your page is currently loading. The plug-in adds a faded 'loading-div' o...
