Changelog for this release:

• a few bugs were fixed (thanks to Matteo Ligabue)
• nested layouts support was added

notes:

• the syntax to start the borderlayout was changed thus please check the new samples

FBBorderLayout home page

I released a new version today with support for collapsable regions, check it out at FBBorderLayout home page.

After the first post about the idea, here you have the project page :-)

Todady I had a couple of spare hours so I wanted to try working on something about javascript and jQuery.

AFAIK jQuery and jQuery UI are missing a borderlayout, something like extjs’ one (check it out, it’s beautiful), so, after the jQuery UI 1.5 release, I thought to start creating one (thinking to P4A 3.2…).

The code is really early stage but it’s quite working cross-browser too, I did a quick screencast:

What do you think about this? Is someone interested in the project?

UPDATE: after some work the code is faster and bulletproof, take a look at it here:

Someone interested in having this code released as a jQuery plugin? Let me know. :-)

UPDATE 2: the project has been released, check it out!

This is the month of the big releases :-) first was UCK 2.0 a few days ago, now it’s time for P4A - PHP For Applications 2.2!

Highlights of this release:

• Prototype/scriptaculous were dropped and jQuery was added. Thanks to jQuery and some wonderful plugins we added a new color picker field type, the ajax file upload feature, some great improvements to the popup system also with the ability to block the underlying interface and a beautiful audio/video preview system.
• Answering to many request the tooltip system was implemented, $field->setTooltip() and you’ve done the work of providing information about fields on your mask.
• Another requested feature: field autocomplete, similar to the google suggest one, enjoy it
• A smooth “helpers system” was introduced, now everyone can really write plugins for P4A, overriding core mothods without having to patch framework’s file (this only works with PHP5)
• The getid3 library was added, its work is to read all data from multimedia files and pass them to P4A that will use them and store them. Now we have a better width/height/mime-type detection for many and many multimedia file formats.
• …and many many improvements and bugfixes, check the changelog for the complete list

Upgrade:
You should have no problems directly upgrading from 2.0.6 to 2.2.0, otherwise write us on the help forum!

Download:
Can’t you wait? Here you have:
P4A 2.2.0 download

Future:
You already know that we can’t stop, things are already moving… we’ll publish more info very soon, also because I’m going to commit some preliminary tests for the next big step: P4A 3.0. Don’t miss it, I swear you’ll like it.

Technical note:
If you use P4A SVN, please switch to the 2.2 branch and don’t use the main trunk anymore!!! That’s because we’re working on it for P4A 3.0!

see you :)
