Version 3.3 released

[torstein.honsi]

I am happy to announce the release of version 3.3. While working on the extended functionality in the new version, the Configurator and the API reference were written to handle the increasing complexity of Highslide both for the author and for website developers. Together these tools pave the way for version 4.0, which will move towards a complete gallery frontend.

The NEW fullexpand.gif is 34px X 34px.
The CSS for a.highslide-full-expand in the examples is 44px X 44px.

Thank you!

Nice job!

As I read the new code for the dimming effect, am I correct in assuming that the "width: 100%" is no longer required in the highslide-dimming CSS?

[bobsc]

When you download a file from the Configurator it has a php extension.
Is that by design?

[torstein.honsi]

EarlyOut: That is correct. This is handled internally now.

bobsc: Yes the Configurator is based on PHP templating, but I will see what I can do about changing it to .js on downloading.

Yes the Configurator is based on PHP templating, but I will see what I can do about changing it to .js on downloading.

Just use the PHP's header() like this:

Code: Select all

header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="highslide.js"');

You should also set the content type like this:

Code: Select all

header('Content-type: text/javascript');

or

Code: Select all

header('Content-type: application/javascript');

Thanks soukupl, I had forgotten about this. It is fixed now.

Hi Torstein,

Is there currently any way to find out when new versions are available?

It would be great if there was maybe an RSS feed for your changelog, or something along those lines.

Thanks,
Adrian

An RSS feed for my changelog is not a bad idea. Currently you have to go to that page yourself to look for news. Right now I am buried in work, but I will keep it in mind.
