New AJAX Feature 1:50 pm

I hinted to a couple of you that I had a new AJAX feature on the road map, and it’s finally up. You should now be able to switch from the Noteworthies to Snippits and visa versa.

For a while I’ve been wanting to have a spot on here where I could post short “snippits” that really aren’t worth a whole post, but are worth sharing. So there’s where I’m going to do it.

    How will we RSS readers know when you’ve added new snippets?

  • Elliot Swan October 19th, 2005 @ 4:20 pm (#)

    They’ll be listed in the entry RSS feed like normal posts. :)

    At first, I can’t get it switch from noteworthies to snippits. After a few refreshes, I finally able to see it. Probably caused by browser cache problem.

    It’s cool, man. Great job!

    @EngLee: Yeah, seemed to do that to a couple of people.

    @Jake: lol….Still not quite working, the WordPress functions are giving me lots of trouble.

    So what are snippets? ;)

  • Elliot Swan October 20th, 2005 @ 2:31 pm (#)

    Short blips and externals.

    ;)

    When (If) I get them to work, it’ll all make sense.

    You might whant to make the text a little bigger us that are getting up in age [I’m probably the youngest person here] have seing problems. lol

    nos your next step is to make it unobtrusive :)
    kill the javascript:// protocol.

  • Elliot Swan October 20th, 2005 @ 10:11 pm (#)

    @Isaac: On what part?

    @Dustin: I’ll have to mess with that after I get it to work at all. ;) A few people seem to be getting bizarre errors, and I’m WordPress is giving me trouble.

    I wanted to make a specific catagory for the snippits then only show them in the Snippits box. The code works if I put it directly in the index.php file, but when I place it in the snippits.php file (which is being called by the ajax function) I get an “undefined function” error.

    I just know that there’s something simple that I don’t know that I should know, but I can’t figure out what that is…

  • Elliot Swan October 24th, 2005 @ 8:16 pm (#)

    Well, it should be working now. :)

  • karpa-diem (Jake Garrison) October 28th, 2005 @ 4:33 pm (#)

    seems like it stoped working….

  • Elliot Swan October 28th, 2005 @ 4:47 pm (#)

    Jake: which part? It’s working fine over here. Also, make sure you have the “www” in the address, it won’t work at just “elliotswan.com.” Weird bug that I haven’t figured out yet.

  • karpa-diem (Jake Garrison) October 29th, 2005 @ 7:17 am (#)

    ok, that fixed it

I'm a nice guy, so I'll let you use basic XHTML such as <a>, <strong>, <em>, <blockquote>, and <code>. If you're trying to share some code with us, just make sure to run it through Postable first.
