AJAX Pagination using jQuery and PHP with Animation

Anonymous Unknown

I have created an Ajax JQuery based pagination few months before which my users liked very much and there are thousands of downloads of that tutorial. So, I thought to create on another tutorial for pagination with some jquery effects to make stylish and attractive. Its animated loading of records using jquery animation. I hope you will like it very much as it looks nice.
Thanks !

Super Shopping Cart with JQuery

Anonymous Unknown

You have seen and like the previous shopping cart tutorials and here is part 2 for that one. I was wondering over internet and I checked a cart which I liked very much and I thought to create a cart with some animation like that. So I created this one.Ajax and JQuery shopping carts are my favorite way to implement a cart in to website. I hope you will love it.

JQuery Code

$(document).ready(function() {

	var Arrays=new Array();

	$('.add-to-cart-button').click(function(){

		var thisID 	  = $(this).parent().parent().attr('id').replace('detail-','');

		var itemname  = $(this).parent().find('.item_name').html();
		var itemprice = $(this).parent().find('.price').html();

		if(include(Arrays,thisID))
		{
			var price 	 = $('#each-'+thisID).children(".shopp-price").find('em').html();
			var quantity = $('#each-'+thisID).children(".shopp-quantity").html();
			quantity = parseInt(quantity)+parseInt(1);

			var total = parseInt(itemprice)*parseInt(quantity);

			$('#each-'+thisID).children(".shopp-price").find('em').html(total);
			$('#each-'+thisID).children(".shopp-quantity").html(quantity);

			var prev_charges = $('.cart-total span').html();
			prev_charges = parseInt(prev_charges)-parseInt(price);

			prev_charges = parseInt(prev_charges)+parseInt(total);
			$('.cart-total span').html(prev_charges);

			$('#total-hidden-charges').val(prev_charges);
		}
		else
		{
			Arrays.push(thisID);

			var prev_charges = $('.cart-total span').html();
			prev_charges = parseInt(prev_charges)+parseInt(itemprice);

			$('.cart-total span').html(prev_charges);
			$('#total-hidden-charges').val(prev_charges);

			var Height = $('#cart_wrapper').height();
			$('#cart_wrapper').css({height:Height+parseInt(45)});

			$('#cart_wrapper .cart-info').append('
<div id="each-'+thisID+'">
<div>'+itemname+'</div>
<div> $<em>'+itemprice+'</em></div>
<span>1</span><img src="remove.png" alt="" /><br /></div>
');

		}

	});	

	$('.remove').livequery('click', function() {

		var deduct = $(this).parent().children(".shopp-price").find('em').html();
		var prev_charges = $('.cart-total span').html();

		var thisID = $(this).parent().attr('id').replace('each-','');

		var pos = getpos(Arrays,thisID);
		Arrays.splice(pos,1,"0")

		prev_charges = parseInt(prev_charges)-parseInt(deduct);
		$('.cart-total span').html(prev_charges);
		$('#total-hidden-charges').val(prev_charges);
		$(this).parent().remove();

	});	

	$('#Submit').livequery('click', function() {

		var totalCharge = $('#total-hidden-charges').val();

		$('#cart_wrapper').html('Total Charges: $'+totalCharge);

		return false;

	});

reCaptcha style Captcha with JQuery and PHP

Anonymous Unknown

This tutorial is about to creating a captcha same as recaptcha. I used CSS and PHP for this. You can find few tutorials about creating and integrating captcha/recaptcha in php over dalip.in, but now you can create your own recaptcha style captcha with php and jquery. I have created a form with captcha few months before.

JQuery Code

$(document).ready(function() { 

 // refresh captcha
 $('img#captcha-refresh').click(function() {  

		change_captcha();
 });

 function change_captcha()
 {
	document.getElementById('captcha').src="get_captcha.php?rnd=" + Math.random();
 }

});

HTML

<!-- Captcha HTML Code -->

	<div id="captcha-wrap">

		</div>
		<div class="text-box">
			<label>Type the two words:</label>
			<input name="captcha-code" type="text" id="captcha-code">
		</div>
		<div class="captcha-action">
			<img src="refresh.jpg"  alt="" id="captcha-refresh" />
		</div>
	</div>

References’ basis in PHP

Anonymous Unknown

The first step is to answer the following question: What are references? In PHP references are a way to access to the content of a variable by others names. We will briefly cover the three different kind of references available in PHP.

1. References as a function’s parameter

By default, PHP handle the variables you send to a function locally, what I mean is what is in the function stay in the function. By passing a reference you will make your local function variable referencing to the variable in the calling scope of your application. Here is a short example with and without references.

<?php
/**
 * Using references
 */
function foo(&$var){
     $var++;
}
$a=5;
foo($a);
echo($a); //Will display 6
?>

<?php
/**
 * Without references
 */
function foo($var){
     return $var++;
}
$a=5;
$a=foo($a);
echo($a); //will display 6
?>

2. Return by references

Another case is to return a reference. But you have to be very careful with this one because with some tricky code you can access to the private attributes of a class and indeed modify their values.
Here is a classic use of a return reference:

<?php
class Personne {
    public $age = 22;

    public function &getAge() {
        return $this->age;
    }
}

$obj = new Personne();
$myAge = &$obj->getAge(); //$myAge is a reference to $obj->age, which is 22.
$obj->age = 18;
echo $myAge; //will display 18
?>

And now we will see that we can modify a private attribute by using a return reference:

<?php
class Personne {
    private $age = 22;

    public function &getAge() {
        return $this->age;
    }
    public function __toString(){
        return $this->age;
    }
}

$obj = new Personne();
$myAge = &$obj->getAge();
$myAge = 897; //the private attribute $age has been modified
echo($obj); //unfortunately it will display 897 
?>

3. Assign by references

The last case and the easiest is the assignment. It is done just like that:

<?php
$a =& $b;
?>

Which means that $a and $b reference to the same content.

In conclusion, references might seems pretty useless with these examples but it is actually wise to use some of them when you are working on a complex software architecture with a lot of objects using others objects. It is also nicer to avoid the $var=foo($var).

Add a ‘Share this on twitter’ link

Anonymous Unknown

In this article we will discuss about how to add a link which allow your visitors to immediately share an article from your website to their twitter account. Nowadays it is a very common feature on website and it will bring new audience. You will see that it is actually pretty simple.

First step: find a nice twitter icon. When it is about icons, I always check this website: http://www.iconfinder.net. You have plenty of choice just pick up one, for this example I choose this icon:

Ok, now we are ready to create our ‘share this on twitter’ link.
Twitter is almost making all the work for us, the only thing we have to do is to access the http://www.twitter.com/home page and add some parameters like the URL to your article.

In this example the link I should use to share this article on twitter would be:

http://twitter.com/home?status=http://www.florian-hacquebart.eu/?p=113

You just need to give the link to your article. This link has to be permanent, otherwise it will not work if any changes are made.

Here is the final code to display the image and link it with twitter:

<a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=http://www.florian-hacquebart.eu/?p=113">
     <img src="twitter_button.png" alt="share this article on twitter" />
</a>

Here is the result of our example:

Of course what you can do is display a pop-up towards Twitter so your visitors can still browse your website. Here is a snippet code to do so:

<html>
	<head>
		<!-- other smart stuff here... -->
		<script type="text/javascript">
			function popup_share(url, width, height)
				{
					day = new Date();
					id = day.getTime();
					eval("page" + id + " = window.open(url, '" + id + "', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=1,location=1,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=" + width + ", height=" + height + ", left = 363, top = 144');");
				}
		</script>
	</head>

	<body>
		<!-- other smart stuff here... -->
		<a href="javascript:popup_share('http://twitter.com/home?status=http://www.florian-hacquebart.eu/?p=113',800,320)" title="Share on Twitter">
			<img src="twitter_button.png" alt="share this article on twitter" />
		</a>
	</body>
</html>

This is the basic idea you can add other parameters to indicate a title, etc. I choose twitter for the article, but you can easily adapt it for other social network websites like Facebook, MySpace, etc it is the same pattern expect that you will have to modify the URL and its parameters (which are indeed specific to each platform).

CakePHP: working with Elements

Anonymous Unknown

One of my favorite PHP framework at the moment is CakePHP, it is not very different from others frameworks like CodeIgniter, Symphony, etc.

In this article I will present you a very handy feature of CakePHP: the Elements.
An element (like it is named) is a part of a web page which can be display into multiple pages (a sort of template if you want). Here are some elements’ examples:

A header: with your banner, your brand logo

A menu: with your categories, links

A footer: company name, copyright

In CakePHP, Elements are located in the app/views/elements/ directory (or if you are using a custom theme you can create specific elements and put them in the /app/views/themed/your_theme_folder/elements/ directory).

So let’s get started. We will create a basic element which will display ‘Hello World!’:

<h1>Hello World</h1>

You can save this Element: app/view/elements/helloworld.ctp
The last step is to include the element in our pages, to do so you just have to request it like that:

/*For instance I want to display Hello Word on my app/views/posts/index.ctp page:*/
echo $this->element('helloworld');

Elements using Controller with requestAction

Displaying basic information is great, but it would be much more better if we could access to our data and request something like the five latest comments or posts added. This is indeed possible through the requestAction method.

First of all, we have to add a method in our controller which will allow us to retrieve the data we want to render.

/* For instance I want to display the 5 latest posts on my index page. */
public function lastposts($limit=5)
{
	/* We retrieve only the required fields, and configure the query. */
	$posts = $this->Post->find('all', array('fields'=>array('Post.id', 'Post.name', 'Post.created'),
							   'recursive'=>0,
							   'order'=>array('Post.created desc'),
							   'limit'=>$limit));

	if(isset($this->params['requested']))
	{
		return $posts;
	}

	$this->set('lastposts', $posts);
}

Second of all, we create our element. This step is exactly the same as what we have done before, create a page called lastposts.ctp in your app/views/elements/ directory but this time there will be more code’s lines. The first thing to do in your element is to get our data, to do that you will have to use the requestAction method, now you are ready to display your latest posts:

<?php 
/* First step: get the latest posts, the URL should be like your_controller_name/method_name/params */
$posts = $this->requestAction('posts/lastposts/5');
?>

<h3>Our latest posts</h3>

<ul>
<?php foreach($posts as $post): ?>
	<li><i><?php echo $post['Post']['created']; ?></i> : <?php echo $post['Post']['name']; ?></li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>

To get the job done we have to display our element in a page. We have already done that before, do it again:

echo $this->element('lastposts');

You should now be able to see the posts on the page. You also may see a little issue when you try to display the page, it takes an extra time to load it. The requestAction method is the responsible.

Enable cache for requestAction

To make things right and avoid that extra consuming resources, you can and should enable the caching functionality for your element. It is very simple and your visitors, as much as your server, will see a significant reduce during the pages’ load.

echo $this->element('lastposts', array('cache'=>'1 hour');

How to clean URL in PHP

Anonymous Unknown

Have nice and clean URL on your website is mandatory to provide a better visibility on search engines. Let’s say you want a URL like that: http://www.florian-hacquebart.eu/news/161/clean-url-in-php you will have to use URL rewriting which is not the first subject of this post but for instance you will have to generate a specific string: clean-url-in-php instead of Clean URL in PHP.

You can do that by using regulars expressions:

function cleanURL($title) {
	$title = preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9/_|+ -]/", '', $title);
	$title = strtolower(trim($title, '-'));
	$title = preg_replace("/[/_|+ -]+/", '-', $title);

	return $title;
}

What are we doing in this function:

First of all we remove any characters which are not a letter from the alphabet, a number or a special character (/,_, etc).

Next we trimmed the string and lower the characters.

Finally we replace character like +,[,_ with a -.

Let’s see step by step what this function is doing this string: I’m # an example !

Im an example

im-an-example

How to create your first jQuery plugin

Anonymous Unknown

In this article I will show you how to create a simple jQuery plugin menu.
First of all, check this demo so you know where we are heading to: smoothymenu plugin.

As you can see, we will create a plugin to render a menu with fading effect on its items.
The first step to create your plugin is to download the latest jQuery library at jquery.com.

Now you can create a new JavaScript file, this file will contain the main function of our plugin (our plugin will also use a CSS file). To declare a plugin function in jQuery you have to use this syntax:

jQuery.fn.smoothymenu = function() {}

Before we get started with the Javascript let’s take a look at an HTML example file. By doing this we can define the basic structure of our menu:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
        <title>SmoothyMenu Jquery plugin</title>
	<link href="css/smoothymenu.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen"></link>
	<script type="text/javascript" src="lib/jquery/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
	<script type="text/javascript" src="lib/jquery/smoothymenu.jquery.js"></script>
	<script type="text/javascript">
		$(document).ready(function() {
			$('ul#menu').smoothymenu();
		});
	</script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <h1>SmoothyMenu Jquery plugin</h1>

	<ul id="menu">
		<li>
			<a href="#">Home</a>
		</li>
		<li>
			<a href="#">Contact</a>
		</li>
		<li>
			<a href="#">About</a>
		</li>
	</ul>
    </body>
</html>

As you can see I apply my plugin on a list with an id. Now we can write our plugin, the first step is to retrieve the element we will work with. In or case the list, to do that you can create a variable:

var menu = $(this);

After that, we want to apply some styles to our menu so we will programmatically add a class to the menu. This class is in our CSS plugin file and will be provide with the JavaScript file (of course the end user will be able to customize the CSS to match his needs).

menu.attr('class', 'smoothymenu');

Here is the trick to create the fade in/out: we add a block to each menu item, if the mouse if out of the item it will be not visible, when the user will hover an item we will fade it in and vice-versa.

/* Append the specific effect block to each menu items. */
menu.find('li').append('<div></div>');

/* Apply an effect on the hover of an element of the menu. */
menu.find('li').bind('mouseover', function(){
	$(this).find('div.hover-effect').stop().fadeTo('fast', 1);
});

/* Apply an effect when the mouse is out of an element of the menu. */
menu.find('li').bind('mouseout', function(){
	$(this).find('div.hover-effect').stop().fadeTo('fast', 0);
})

Ok we are done, of course you can add parameters to your function and do more complexes operations.
I tried to keep it it simple in this example, to sum up here is the whole smoothymenu plugin function:

jQuery.fn.smoothymenu = function()
 {
 	var menu = $(this);

	/* Define the class of the menu */
	menu.attr('class', 'smoothymenu');

	/* Append the specific effect block to each menu items. */
	menu.find('li').append('<div></div>');

	/* Apply an effect on the hover of an element of the menu. */
	menu.find('li').bind('mouseover', function(){
		$(this).find('div.hover-effect').stop().fadeTo('fast', 1);
	});

	/* Apply an effect when the mouse is out of an element of the menu. */
	menu.find('li').bind('mouseout', function(){
		$(this).find('div.hover-effect').stop().fadeTo('fast', 0);
	})
 };

A beautiful JQuery Image Slider

Anonymous Unknown

JQuery galleries are most liked part on this blog So I decided to create another one.This Slider is a beautiful image slider for your web applications. I created this for those people who needs a fancy jquery image slider with a simple to use but for limited number of images. This slider accepts two lists of images, each list will have 12 thumbs limit which means you can add 24 images in this gallery. Currently this version has some limitations such as number of images to be used and maximum limit of images. But it is one of best gallery I have created.
This slider has feature such as:

- Play Paus Button
- Navigate through First and Second List
- Control images with Arrow keys on Keyboard
- Click to see a specif image
- Caption on Images

Limitations :

There are few limitations in this gallery such as you have to use 6,9 or 12 images for one slider. It means if you have 5 images then you cant use this slider. If you have 9 then add all thumbs in first list and assign var totalThumbsFirstList = 9;
and set var totalThumbsSecondList = 0; If you have 18 Images then assign 12 to first and remaining 6 to second list and then you will define param like this:

var totalThumbsFirstList = 12;
var totalThumbsSecondList = 6;

In short this is perfect for 12 or 24 images so try to use 12 or 24 images. We have another variable for controlling the sliding interval which is :

var Interval = 6000;//6 seconds

I created this by inspiring the design from premiumpixels.com Special thanks to Orman for this. I hope you will like this gallery. Previously the other image galleries are really appreciated by you guys. I received lot of emails from the readers mostly from India, USA, Indonesia, Pakistan, France and UK and all from the world. I really appreciate your love for the blog and your kind words keep me buys in creating beautiful tutorials for you guys. Thanks again

#1. Spelling and Grammar Errors

Spelling and grammar mistakes can make your website look unprofessional and detract from your credibility. Usually, the message you’re sending out is more important than a small grammatical error, but there are users who won’t consider your business professional enough, and they won’t link to you, subscribe to your updates or buy any kind of product or service from your company if you make spelling/grammar mistakes.

How to avoid it:

Check out the excellent list compiled by the people over at LitReactor. It should give you a good idea of the mistakes you need to avoid.

#2. Poor Navigation and Internal Linking

A very important aspect of a visitor experience on your company’s website is usability. A well-designed navigation and internal linking system guarantees all crucial areas of your website can be reached quickly and easily.

Make sure you’re not creating a frustrating experience for your visitors – they access your site for specific information which should be readily available and easy to reach from any point on your website. Think of your website as a map in which any area can be reached from any other area, with a central navigation for the main areas of your website. Always remember that navigation within a website should be seamless.

Here are a few tips on how to design a seamless navigation for your website:

Create focus points. These are parts of a page that are highly attractive and will capture the user’s interest. Use stronger, higher-contrast colors and larger fonts for your focus points.

Write short, interesting descriptions for each point. These should encompass the idea you’re trying to transmit and be interesting enough to maintain the visitor’s attention.

Any other text should be short and easy to read. Only provide essentials, as people will read short pieces of text but will be put off by long paragraphs.

How to avoid it:

While creating the navigation for your website, remember the 10 Principles of Navigation Design.

#3. No Contact and Social Sharing Buttons

We live in an increasingly social world and your visitors will most certainly want to share what they like. Sharebars, social buttons, floating widgets for liking, tweeting, pinning, e-mailing and more will make sure your visitors will never cut a frustrated figure when it comes to sharing. This is also a case of “the more, the merrier” as you’ll definitely enjoy the delicious traffic increase from social media.

Also, make sure you have a Contact or About page available where your visitors can engage with you – be it via a simple form, a Twitter handle, your Facebook page, site comments or owl-delivered mail.

How to avoid it:

There are many plugins that can assist you in creating contact forms (cformsII) and social sharing buttons. The PageLines Framework has this functionality built in, and you can extend it with plugins from the Store (ShareBar Extended, Social Excerpts). Additionally, there are many social sharing plugins to be found in the WordPress Directory..

#4. No Call-to-Action (CTA) Buttons

Now that you’re driving a fair amount of traffic to your website and things seem on the right track, you have to think about leading those visitors somewhere. That traffic is essentially useless if the visitors don’t land where you want them to land or if your CTA button is buried somewhere in a sea of text.

You need to invest time and research into crafting a good CTA button and positioning it according to the action you want your prospective clients to take. Do you want visitors to subscribe to your blog? A carefully placed “Click Here to Subscribe” button on all blog pages and posts will do wonders to your subscription list. Do you want customers to buy your product? Place a button on your pricing page, homepage or even blog page. Always remember to make your Call to Action stand out. The possibilities are endless!

How to avoid it:

Follow the awesome guide put together by the people at Uxbooth on good Call-to-Action buttons. It should give you a great head start on designing better CTAs. Remember, don’t overdo calls to action. Don’t have multiple CTAs on the same page or they will be competing against each other which will take away visitors from your main target.

#5. Content | c o n t e n t | CONTENT

Quick — think of the first reason why people should visit your website! If you said anything other than content, you’re doing something wrong. Your website content encompasses everything that can be seen (and heard, although we’re totally against background music) by a visitor.

It is fundamental that your website has a well-defined content strategy that is followed on a page-by-page basis. Your content should be interesting and valuable, while also engaging the user. Your readers are not going to be going over every single word on a page, so focus points need to be emphasized here as well. Create a strong visual content hierarchy so the points of interest can be reached easily.

And while we’re discussing content (essentially what IS on the webpage), we’d also like to take the time and mention the impact white space has on general website design and page streamlining. It is, arguably, the most important factor to consider as it has the strongest impact on what text section your readers focus on. This has a lot to do with page clutter, which will quickly turn any visitor away. You can read more about the importance of white space in web design here and here.

How to avoid it:

This piece of advice might leave you cutting this figure, but we cannot stress how important simplicity and sticking to the point is: write interesting, meaningful content while keeping your general strategy in mind and you won’t fail. Too many small business websites make the mistake of putting too much or too little thought into their content strategy. Write down your organization’s mission statement and objectives and emphasize them through text. Write content that you find interesting and adapt to your readers’ preferences. Bonus tip: keep comments enabled and accept feedback. It will help you grow!
