Animated WordPress-Like Row Change Status Effect: Powered by jQuery

Last updated on by Gabriel Livan

Greetings my fellow readers,

While using WordPress, I’ve seen a very cool effect when I either approved or deleted comments. When you click “Delete” it uses AJAX to call the PHP script that will perform the action as well as highlighting that row with a fading color change effect. If you are a web developer and need to implement a similar approach in your scripts (using AJAX with UI state effect) then this post is for you.

We’ll need jQuery and jQuery UI Effects (for the background fading) libraries for this.

AJAX Form Pro v2 with Admin Panel is officially released!

Last updated on by Gabriel Livan

Hello my fellow readers,

After over 2 months of development, I’ve finally launched the new version of AJAX Form Pro with Control Panel. It basically lets you create secure web forms, easy & fast in a matter of minutes.

When I was still selling the first version of the script, I was told by some customers that the documentation is not focused towards the users who aren’t experienced with PHP & JavaScript. It required some basic knowledge of PHP to setup everything. Moreover, it didn’t have any Admin Panel to make the user’s life easier.

Thus, I’ve decided to improve the application and make it easier to use for everyone whether he/she is a beginner, intermediate or a professional web developer.

New Features of AJAX Form Pro include:

1) Manage Forms from an Admin Panel

The form’s name & description, configuration and fields are all editable from the Control Panel.

2) Easy integration of the Forms in Web Pages

With just a few clicks you can add the form you wish in your web page either by loading inside an iFrame (the easiest way to integrate it) or by copying blocks of PHP code into your page.

Catch404: Modal Plugin for Handling Broken Links: jQuery | CSS

Last updated on by Gabriel Livan

Catch404 is a jQuery and CSS3 Modal Plugin for showing broken links and 404 errors without users even having to leave the page after they click the actual link. The plugin uses the power of AJAX to check the target clicked link in the background. If the URL is not broken nor generates a 404 error, then the page will load for the user. Otherwise, the visitor would be prompted through an Inline jQuery Modal Window that he is trying to access a non-workable URL address.

Let’s pretend that this is a broken link. Can you imagine that when your users click this link, instead of them being redirected to a 404 error on your site, a friendly modal message pops up on your current page saying that it’s not available?. In that same message box you can then give them a sense of direction so that they’re not lost – you could ask them to click on a contact link to report the link’s broken, offer an alternative mirror, recommend they do a site search for the file or just say that you’re experiencing hosting issues and the file will be back up soon.
