WebService::EditDNS – Perl interface to EditDNS API

Michal Wojciechowski — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 20:37:05 +0000

I have created a simple Perl module that talks to EditDNS API, allowing for easy manipulation of domains/records hosted at EditDNS from within Perl programs. A while ago, I developed a command-line utility that serves a similar purpose, named editdns.pl. The module is sort of an extension of that idea, although it works in a different manner — while editdns.pl impersonates a web browser to access the EditDNS control center website and uses hacky HTML scraping techniques, the module plays it nice and only uses elegant API calls.

The module is called WebService::EditDNS, and is available for download at CPAN. Eventually, it will probably also get a project homepage here on my website (some day in the not-too-distant future).

SelectList Documentation Updates

Michal Wojciechowski — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 16:21:02 +0000

Just a quick notice for selectList users — I have updated the documentation page for the plugin, adding the missing API methods reference. I also added some explanatory text on the examples page. Take a look if you’re interested.

SelectList 0.3

Michal Wojciechowski — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 21:30:10 +0000

I’m releasing a new version (0.3) of selectList. This release brings support for the core jQuery method .val(), allowing you to retrieve the list of currently selected options at any time (which might be useful when you want to, for instance, send the selection with an AJAX request).

Thanks to John Watson and Dan Young for notifying me of this.

SelectList 0.2

Michal Wojciechowski — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 23:36:54 +0000

A new release of selectList (my multiple selection jQuery plugin) is now out. Version 0.2 brings proper handling of optgroup elements (as requested by a few users), and fixes one minor bug.

Thanks to Łukasz Ledóchowski for his feedback.

New Version of ImgZoom in Development

Michal Wojciechowski — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 11:42:13 +0000

Last weekend I started working on the next version of imgZoom, the jQuery plugin that uses vector graphics to implement a smooth zoom effect on thumbnailed images. With the initial release (a couple months back), I boldly announced that I intend to one day turn it into a decent substitution for Lightbox, and I think I’m actually getting closer to that. The current version has the lightbox-esque features of displaying images in a window, and allowing to navigate between previous and next images.

I transformed one of my testing pages into a nicely-looking gallery, so if you want to take a look at the development version in action, be my guest. The gallery should work correctly in most browsers, only Internet Explorer might still have some issues — I’m working on that. As always, I’m open to feedback.

ImgAreaSelect 0.9.2

Michal Wojciechowski — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 18:37:27 +0000

ImgAreaSelect version 0.9.2 is out. This version fixes a few minor bugs, and introduces a new option that allows you to completely remove the plugin from the image that it was attached to. Thanks to all the people who helped me by reporting bugs and sending feedback.

I have also added a new example to the Advanced Usage page — it demonstrates an extension of the plugin API that allows you to animate the selection area.

SelectList 0.1.2

Michal Wojciechowski — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 14:10:34 +0000

I’ve just released a new version of the selectList jQuery plugin — no exciting new features, though, this release only fixes a bug that generated a JavaScript error in IE6 when there were no options in the original select field (thanks to CJ for reporting this).

SelectList 0.1.1

Michal Wojciechowski — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 21:47:28 +0000

Here’s another minor update to one of my jQuery plugins — this time it’s selectList, version 0.1.1. The update is mostly a code cleanup, with one functional change — if a hint has been provided with the title attribute, it is always shown as the currently selected option in the dropdown list after each selection takes place (as requested by some).

ImgZoom 0.1.1

Michal Wojciechowski — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 16:54:03 +0000

Today I released a new version of imgZoom. It’s just a minor update that fixes one bug and introduces the getOptions() API method.

I have also updated the documentation — it now includes a reference of the available API methods.

ImgAreaSelect 0.9.1

Michal Wojciechowski — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 23:47:26 +0000

I have just released an update to imgAreaSelect with a version number of 0.9.1. It fixes a nasty bug found in version 0.9 that affected the initialization stage, causing some unexpected behavior (like not being able to set the initial selection) and JavaScript errors.

Thanks to all the people who noticed the bug and reported it to me.
