mfReflex: Add a reflection to and tilt images with this Joomla 1.0.x mambot http://www.marcofolio.net Sat, 21 Nov 2009 07:31:13 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.marcofolio.net/joomla/mfreflex_add_a_reflection_to_images_with_this_joomla_1.0.x_m.html#josc1001 Great releases... Quick question. Since Joomla! has the source images normally inserted as... src=\"http://www.mysite.com/images/stories/example_image.jpg\" Do you simply substitute /images/stories/example_image.jpg in the html to: src=\"http://www.mysite.com/{mfreflex example_image.jpg}\" I was a bit confused about whether you add that directly into the html and/or whether you still have to have images/stories before the {mfreflex image_name} line. Not sure if I explained my question right, but I thought I would give it a shot. I am using Joomla! 1.5 in legacy mode by the way. Installed no problem. Great mods too... keep up the wonderful work. Thanks!

BTW, why not to combine all the effects into a single plugin? I also opt for Joomla 1.5. Ha... legacy mode is not appreciated by me... so a native Joomla 1.5 plugin please. WC Leung Mon, 11 Feb 2008 07:03:14 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/joomla/mfreflex_add_a_reflection_to_images_with_this_joomla_1.0.x_m.html#josc1015 Hello WC Leung, I didn\'t want to combine all scripts in 1, since some users only want 1 script and not all. I\'ll make one mambot later with all the scripts for those users who want it. A Joomla! 1.5 plugin will come when I have more 1.5 experience, since it\'s pretty new to me. Hope you like the script. Greetings, Marco Mon, 11 Feb 2008 11:20:42 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/joomla/mfreflex_add_a_reflection_to_images_with_this_joomla_1.0.x_m.html#josc1016 No, you don\'t add the full directory. The mambot automatically uses the \"/images/stories/\" folder. If you have an image in the \"images/stories\" folder, just use the filename. Example: On the FTP: \"/images/stories/photo/photo1.jpg\" Mambot code: {mfreflex photo/photo1.jpg} Good luck. Marco Mon, 11 Feb 2008 12:27:18 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/joomla/mfreflex_add_a_reflection_to_images_with_this_joomla_1.0.x_m.html#josc1020 Thanks for the mambots! It is not easy to pick one out, the\'re all great! One question though: It would be nice if it allows full pathnames/urls to the image. With this extra option one could use: {mfGlossy {mosimage}} or any other image generating mambot within the mf-mambot. I have no idea if it is feasable... But hey, if one does not ask... :whistle: Nico Mon, 11 Feb 2008 17:36:41 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/joomla/mfreflex_add_a_reflection_to_images_with_this_joomla_1.0.x_m.html#josc1021 I\'m not able to generate any of the effects from your bots. I\'ve used both your Reflect & Corner programs and all I see is just the picture (no effect). My test link is; http://www.edhathaway.com/blog/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=102&Itemid=93 I copied the syntex directly from the bot changing only the path and filename. I\'ve viewed this link with IE6, FF and Netscape and still don\'t see the bot\'s effect. Could this be a javascript or template issue? Ed Mon, 11 Feb 2008 17:58:32 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/joomla/mfreflex_add_a_reflection_to_images_with_this_joomla_1.0.x_m.html#josc1022 Make a J!1.5 soooon :woohoo: Jan Mon, 11 Feb 2008 20:33:41 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/joomla/mfreflex_add_a_reflection_to_images_with_this_joomla_1.0.x_m.html#josc1023 Ahh... maybe that\'s why I cannot get it to work... because I am using J!1.5 in legacy mode? Do these not run under j1.5 legacy mode? Mon, 11 Feb 2008 21:06:53 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/joomla/mfreflex_add_a_reflection_to_images_with_this_joomla_1.0.x_m.html#josc1027 Hi Ed, I had a couple of comments that it didn\'t work. I found out, that this was cause because Joomla! is installed in a subdirectory. I placed it on the list of \"known bugs\" and hope to fix it soon. I\'ll keep on updating this article. Greetings, Marco Marco Mon, 11 Feb 2008 22:40:28 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/joomla/mfreflex_add_a_reflection_to_images_with_this_joomla_1.0.x_m.html#josc1028 Hmhm, I\'ll check it out later. Thanks for the idea! For now, I released the 1.1 version of all scripts, allowing you to change the default settings in the mambot parameters. Greetings, Marco Marco Mon, 11 Feb 2008 22:41:45 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/joomla/mfreflex_add_a_reflection_to_images_with_this_joomla_1.0.x_m.html#josc1030 Marco, Thanks for the update. I\'ll try your bot on a site I manage that is located in the root directory. Hoping you\'ll be able to fix the suddirectory issue since most of the Joomla sites I own or manage are not located within the root. Thanks again for your update(s). Ed Mon, 11 Feb 2008 22:59:09 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/joomla/mfreflex_add_a_reflection_to_images_with_this_joomla_1.0.x_m.html#josc1033 it seems as if there\'s a problem with this plugin and IE7 on my website. I don\'t understand the issue. Could you help me please ? Thanks Pi_R Tue, 12 Feb 2008 01:59:35 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/joomla/mfreflex_add_a_reflection_to_images_with_this_joomla_1.0.x_m.html#josc1034 What a great plugin. I installed and tried the mambot and it worked great in IE7 for pages _with_ images. I had a \"Stack Overflow Error\" for pages without images, however. Many of my visitors emailed me to tell me that they received this error message, as a popup dialog box that they had to cancel each page load. It seemed that for me, the pattern was simply that the error appeared only on pages without images included with the plugin. I have removed the mambot now because I don\'t want to include an image on every page on my site (Over 3500 pages currently - thats a lot of editing). Anyway, was fun to play around with the mambot and it gave a really nice effect. If you were to release a new version without the error, then I would more than gladly install again. Great work, well done.

This one will be released tomorrow, I\'ll still testing. Stay tuned! Marco Thu, 14 Feb 2008 08:04:20 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/joomla/mfreflex_add_a_reflection_to_images_with_this_joomla_1.0.x_m.html#josc1085 Marco, I just download your Version 1.2, 2008 of mfReflex and I\'m still not able to see the reflection effect on my (subdirectory) blog site. I un-installed ver. 1.1 and installed ver. 1.2, I downloaded the reflex.js file and placed it into the mambots/contents folder and used the following syntax ({mfreflex food/06-springhs_champs_thm.jpg|Logo|right|90|5|10|none} )to activate this bot. The direct link to my mfReflex image page is, http://www.edhathaway.com/blog/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=102&Itemid=93. Did I miss anything to get your bot to work on my subdirectory web page? Ed Sat, 16 Feb 2008 04:22:48 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/joomla/mfreflex_add_a_reflection_to_images_with_this_joomla_1.0.x_m.html#josc1088 Hi, I\'m not Marco :s but could not resist to look into your problem. I loaded your web page localy on my desktop and running it from that location it works! This might give an idea in which direction the solution can be found. Maybe a file/directory permission problemn of some kind? Nico (another user of mf bots) Sat, 16 Feb 2008 10:43:57 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/joomla/mfreflex_add_a_reflection_to_images_with_this_joomla_1.0.x_m.html#josc1187 Marco, Just sent you an email & attachment with the mfReflex plugin for the Joomla JCE text editor I created. It will be a big help for those of us who use this editor and can\'t remember the syntax! Edjoy! Ed Ed Thu, 21 Feb 2008 19:53:50 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/joomla/mfreflex_add_a_reflection_to_images_with_this_joomla_1.0.x_m.html#josc1188 That would be of great help! Thanx Ed.

Ed p.s. I did not spend a lot of time formatting the install bot screen. Maybe I\'ll be able to get to this tomorrow...

Linked your plugin in the article :). Greetings,,, Marco Thu, 21 Feb 2008 20:48:40 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/joomla/mfreflex_add_a_reflection_to_images_with_this_joomla_1.0.x_m.html#josc1191 I\'ve cleaned up the bot install formatting screen and fixed one minor error to this JCE plug-in. If you have already installed this plug-in, this formatting change is not required to be re-installed. It is just \'eye candy\' changes and provides proper credit back to mfReflex. Ed Fri, 22 Feb 2008 04:29:24 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/joomla/mfreflex_add_a_reflection_to_images_with_this_joomla_1.0.x_m.html#josc1218 Marco, After an extensive search of [b]ALL[/b] the components, modules & mambots installed on my blog site ([url]www.edhathaway.com[/url]), I was finally able to get [color=red][b]mfReflex[/b][/color] to work within this subdirectory Joomla install :woohoo:. As it turns out the JCE Utility mambot was the application causing all sorts of problems and issues with not only [color=red][b]mfReflex[/b][/color] but a host of other 3rd Party java based applications. I\'ve included an example of [color=red][b]mfReflex[/b][/color] onto my Home Page in the article entitled, Winter Wonderland! Thanks for a great eye candy effect application and now I\'m off to play around with your other image effects programs.

I only wish I could get it to work :( So here is my geeky question : How do I apply the mfReflex script in the HTML code in the following basic case to the image \"articles.jpg\" (I tried but failed miserably :confused: ) : [code]New! YOOsliderKeep playing with the new YOOslider module. Learn more... [/code] This code extract comes from the basic code of a YooTheme template I installed yesterday, and like Don, I am using Joomla! 1.5 in legacy mode and the plugin install went fine (My install is local using Xammp Lite). I\'m a server side programmer (PHP) and have very little idea about client side programming hence my silly question :dry: One has to learn, and in our jobs we have to keep on learning or die Thanks in advance for your help, I can\'t wait to see your script working !

But the js looks for /mambots/content etc... which doesnt exist... How can i adjust this? Alex Mon, 17 Mar 2008 20:17:29 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/joomla/mfreflex_add_a_reflection_to_images_with_this_joomla_1.0.x_m.html#josc1413 Hi, You can wait for a native J! 1.5 version, or try altering the .PHP file yourself ;). Keep an eye open for updates. Marco Mon, 17 Mar 2008 21:09:53 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/joomla/mfreflex_add_a_reflection_to_images_with_this_joomla_1.0.x_m.html#josc1414 B) heh ok thanks - ill wait as wouldnt even know where to start with the php. Alex Mon, 17 Mar 2008 21:20:28 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/joomla/mfreflex_add_a_reflection_to_images_with_this_joomla_1.0.x_m.html#josc1540 Hi there although I appreciate the JCE Plugin is there not a way to make it a bit more ºautomaticº? So one adds the image and then the plugin surrounds the selected image (url html code) with the basic syntax? It would make things a lot simpler for my normal type of client. OR perhaps a mambot version that will overide every image in a category/Section? Thanks obelix Sun, 06 Apr 2008 03:48:57 +0100 http://www.marcofolio.net/joomla/mfreflex_add_a_reflection_to_images_with_this_joomla_1.0.x_m.html#josc1543 Hi there, I\'m already working on a version that does that. The only problem is that I\'m pretty short on time. But it\'ll come, keep on checking this article for updates :).

I have tried everything ... I\'m using J 1.0.15 and I have done everything as stated in your instructions. Still ... no effect :( . Help would be much appreciated. Here is the link: http://bath-kaposvar.org/index.php/Membership.html and the main page as well.

Try switching to another template (to test) that doesn\'t have their own .JS files. If this didn\'t help, please contact me through the contact form and I\'ll try to help you over there.

It has mootools (headers still on but nothing activated). I installed this one like you say on a joomla 1.5 install, and in the html source I put: and it just makes the } become something else (like %70 or something) and it rewrites it and stuff.. what am I doing wrong?
