Do you remember jpMaster77’s login script? This is one of the scripts I use often. Every time when a friend asks for some quick small system with login required, I use this base script as a startup point and build what is needed on top of this nice login system. Actually, I speak about the modified version of the system, published by Ivan Novak, who made some great improvements in the original code and published everything under open-source license. But with the time going I modified some of the code to best fit my needs (mainly, to make it faster to setup). And because I believe this is the spirit of the open source, I am now publishing my modifications here for anyone who may want to use them.Why new name? Why version 1.0?Well, as I see it, I must change the original project name to avoid any confusion with the original script. I don’t want someone to think that the Grand Master of Cpp (JPmaster77, who wrote the core system years ago) or Ivan Novak (who modified the original script) are responsible for any change I made in the code. So, that is why I changed the name to jpWare login system and restarted the version numbering.The system, exactly as the original, is licensed under GPL or MIT license — which one best fits your needs.

Hi, after all that time there is something new here: Text to HTML v.2 now available. The new feature: command line support, so now you can use this toy from other programs or scripts…

css Menu Generator Version 4.0 is now ready for download…

What’s new?

• The whole tool completely rewritten (based on TemplateShaker code, it now comes with far better functionality);
• The pull-down menu code rewritten, now the menu supports more sub-levels;
• Multi-level vertical menu added;
• Help info added;
• The long-waited “Save” functionality added
• Number of changes in the interface
• Many fixes and improvements

How to update?

Just visit the website and download the new version:http://wonderwebware.com/css-menu/

The new version of Template Shaker is finally here. It took really long time, mainly because I rewrote the whole tool twice in the last several months. No many new templates, but I finally added important new features…

Some of the news:

* CleanPage and UltraSimplicity templates rewritten. If you used these templates for your sites, you may want rebuild your site templates with the new versions to avoid the old menu code. In the old versions of these templates the pull-down menu was really ugly, with all these IE6 fixes. Now the menu uses other IE6 fix that doesn’t break the code.

* Menu Editor Added — Now you can edit the menus from the Shaker itself. This is the answer of the frequently asked question "how to edit menu structure"

* Two menu templates with bundled menu generator now added for "pro-version" customers only. This is the most useful "pro-version" improvement

* Several important fixes and improvements in the program itself (like open/save buttons, external IE preview…)

NOTE: Before installing the new version, please — uninstall the old version first! It should work if you just install the new version over the old one (at least it worked in my tests here), but it is always better to remove the old files first…

How to update?

If you are pro-version customer, just click "Get the new version" button to update your installation.

If you are using the free version — visit the product section of this site and get the new version from the download page: http://wonderwebware.com/templateshaker/

Sitemap Generator 0.941 has been released after really long time of silence. This is just a bug-fix release and special characters are now properly handled (or should be)… I hope I will have more news in the coming days, when the new version of TemplateShaker should become available for download.

The new version has been published more than week ago, but I just forgot to publish the news here. Download here: http://wonderwebware.com/css-menu/

I receive this question relatively often: “how to center a menu generated with css menu generator”. Well, here are two examples - one for centering the menu on page and one for centering menu items. For both examples — I am using simple menu saved directly as xhtml file.

A) centering the menu on page

1) Put the menu in new DIV container (in this example - container class=”wrapper”):

<div class=”wrapper“>
<div class=”pd_menu_01 “>
<ul>
…
</ul>
</div>
</div>

2) in the css section, add this code to center the wrapper div:

.wrapper {
width: 80%;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-left: auto;
}

B) Centering the text of the menu items

To center the text of the menu sub-items, just change the following css code:

.pd_menu_01 ul {list-style-type:none;padding:0; margin:0;}

to:

.pd_menu_01 ul {list-style-type:none;padding:0; margin:0; text-align:center;}

The new version of Site Submit has been published. In this release I doubled the number of directories and added few new features. Download here.

It took me too long to complete the new version of this tool, but — finally — css Template Shaker 2.4 is available for download. One new template added, one modification of existing template (made after user request), several new and updated features (the most important addition is the visual image selector).

Do you remember one of the best bands? I still love them. And every 1st of July I am looking for love, fighting my bad site for little more “peace and love”… Read the rest of this entry »
