For those interested in my progress here is the link to my site - it
is a work in preparation for my iPhone app release in a couple weeks.
All the images are mostly just test images. My first app creates these
posters and my second app views ones that people using the first app
have uploaded to my server.
1. I have a mini slide show on the Main page "DeMoted" using a simple
jquery script in an html stack in Stack in RW that uses it's own
folder for four preview images.
2. Then on the Demoted Viewer page is blocks page in RW (to allow the
iframe to be on top of the iphone image) which loads the iRev
slideshow.irev I stole from Troz and hacked the hell out of... It
shows all of the most recently uploaded shots from my iPhone app as
they are uploaded.
3. Then the Online Gallery uses an Offsite page to redirect to Recent
Page which uses a stacks page with a dynamic iFrame set to scroll (to
work with the lightbox) which points to an iRev Gallery script which
loads a jQuery, CSS "Pirobox" image library mixed with iRev (But I
also successfully integrated Slimbox, Lightbox, JBox etc. to work just
not what I wanted) CLICK a photo and the light box opens. This access
the uploaded images form the iPhone app directly.
4. Then Previous page shows 70 images that can scroll while previewing
the lightbox of images. These I am moving manually to 'previous'
folders for now until I can figure out an automatic script to create
new folders and move recent images to the new ones and allow a menu to
list them.
5. Support will have screenshots and FAQ on how to use the app.
Lastly, from this page is the Contact form.
6. Then to support all of this is the page for JaiPho PiPho and iUi
that is used in the Free Viewer App for viewing all of the User
uploaded images on the iPhone but can be viewed online (optimized for
iPhone though)
The main site is at:
http://demoted.lazyriver.on-rev.com/
and the online iPhone optimized page (Cool on the iphone but is
viewable on the web too) is at:
http://demoted.lazyriver.on-rev.com/DeMotedUploads/index.php
Comments are welcome...

I have just finished a marathon session integrating Ajax irev css
html to build an image gallery with jQuery.
WOW... what a pain in the ass to grok...
And NO ONE should ever have to look at something like this again,
let alone have to type it:
put "<a href=" & quote & "photos/test/" & L & quote && " class=" &
quote & "pirobox_gall" & quote & && " rel=" & quote & "lightbox" &
quote & && " title=" & quote & L & quote & "><img src=" & quote &
"photos/test/" & L & quote & " alt=" & quote & L & quote &&
tSizeSpec & "/></a>" into tImg
I actually built around six versions of the image gallery and did
not like any of them. The final one at 4:30 this AM is almost what I
want. Anyway, a few things I am wishing for:
1. Never ever ever again to have to write & quote & again..........
2. Something to VISUALLY put all of those & T & qoute && "<" & quote
& together to see the finished result in On-rev editor (quickly)
3. To have just one app (or 2) to work on all of this instead of 6
(SIX) Rapid Weaver, Dream Weaver, On-rev, Text Wrangler, Dashcode
and (Safari and Firefox. )
4. A revolution to CSS convertor (like Interface Builder for iphone
SDK) cause things like Absolute/Fixed/Relative hurt my head after
awhile. and things like 'hidden' that don't really hide things but
'reformat' the layout instead cause dizziness.
Work flow:
Find iRev script that does something completely different than what
I need. But since there is no where big to search for these yet this
will have to do. (send email question to use list)
Build theme in Rapid Weaver, load stacks or blocks and set up
preferences. upload. (send email question to RW forum)
Switch to Dreamweaver and download (for later use). (browse forums
for helpful tips or hints)
Set up iFrame for irev page. dynamic or fixed.
Load in safari, load in firefox (to hell with IE) and decide that
none of it looks right. (search internet for all new solution, get
stuck on youTube)
Find CSS load in pane in RW - upload check in Safari/Firefox. Almost
like it....
open CSS in dashcode (easier to see) and make tweaks, save, upload
in Dreamweaver. (it's now later)
Looks good. Now find java script library that does what I need (4
hours later) Decide on one.
Load in JS pane in RW. Load browser - nothing works. (go back to
youTube and look up "fat kid falls on bicycle" get lost for awhile)
Try five more slide show, light box, image gallery, jQuery, slimbox,
pirobox, mootools etc. download install integrate into iRev
integrate into RW download through Dreamweaver (for future use) -
change page in RW back to stacks for this version since I need a
button now. Simple iFrame only allows url.
decide to just add as much JS and CSS as possible to iRev script
since it will be easier to upload one file from one place (instead
of - open in one app- save - open another app- upload - open
another to view - loop)
No easy way to save versions in on-rev editor. Add html to iRev page
types. Add styles to top of iRev page, add JS next (mostly load
libraries) - then build page elements with rev and html (and
sometimes more JS)
OK now - I don't mind learning and I don't mind hacking my way
through. But Damn it.... I have such a jheadache now. That whole &
quote & thing and readability thing needs to be addressed real soon.
Maybe Jerry's thingy can do it??? maybe it can have all of these
really cool plugins for building unbuilding these mosnters.....
Had to just let it all out before the end of the year.....
