  • Twitter's shine is officially gone for me. maybe I'm just tired, or its the global economic collapse, bit I'm finding it hard to tweet. 23 hrs ago
  • Thinking of writing a song about conference rooms and how much alike they all are. Sort of like "homeward bound" by S&G but not as good 1 day ago

WP-Book progress

Tagged with: , , , , — John @ 9:17 pm

[Update: Minor bugs and tweaking to do - might want to hold off on download for now]

Made some progress on wp-book over the weekend; should be able to release an update this week. (I will post updated code on this site as well as upload to the wp-plugins directory). (If you don’t know what I’m talking about see this earlier blog post).

Still sometimes see an error in Internet Explorer at this point - seems to be a timing error with respect to the “resize to content” for the iFrame. I thought about moving the Facebook application back into FBML (Facebook markup language), but then I would lose the ability to have objects, embeds, and other things inside the iFrame.

If you’re reading this somewhere other than Facebook, and you are a Facebook user, please go check out http://apps.facebook.com/openparenthesis/ and leave a comment.

If you’re reading this *in facebook* please also leave a comment, and tell me what operating system / browser / version you’re using.

When you submit your comment, you will be redirected back to the application landing page - sometimes people get errors there as well, though in essence it is the same url on which they started.

Looks great John! I’m going to post on the scholarpress-dev list about this, and link to your post. BTW - I’m writing this comment in the Facebook canvas.

i thought this was maybe about an actual book plugin for wordpress. /disappointed.

your site works from safari3 on osx, though.
