jsColorPallet Version 2.0 Beta has been released for your enjoyment.

I have gone to a bit of effort to improve on the original version by decrease load times and process times as well as provide better dynamic Web 2.0 style support. You can now add color pallets on the fly as well as add the color pallet to other forms on the fly. I am working on getting some documentation out so that you all may better understand how to use it. Currently the Source Code is pretty well documented (Still needs some more for all the new functions and make updates to old). I hope this new version going forward will allow me to provide better functionality and controls for you all.

Version 2.0 Changes:

• Made Major Changes to the Class Structure
• Class initilization now takes a hash/object as the paramater
• Denoted all private functions with “_” at the begining
• Removed Old comments and unneeded functions
• Added function to allow for better API style calls
  • Anytime addition of forms
  • Anytime addition of color pallet definitions
  • Added global callback meathod
• Changed the structure for defining bound fields to allow for more flexability of use
  • Added Callbacks function support. Passes the returned HEX value to the function.
  • Added support to change the Color Pallet title on a field by field level

Version 1.2 Changes:

• Seperated color pallets from jsColorPallet’s core class. In prep of extend color types. i.e. Hex, RGB
• Made slight changes to the colorpallet array structures. In prep of extend color types. i.e. Hex, RGB
• Changed the close button to an icon.
• Changed the next button to an icon.
• Added an example to the SVN.
• Made slight css/style changes.
• Made one central include file for all the javascript files.
• Changed code to no longer require a set veriable name
• Added optional paramater to append jsColorPallet to
• Fixed bug where jsColorPallet would override any onfocus events on form elements

Well as a lot of you may have been noticing around the CoLoCo site I have started making a lot of upgrades to the website and its layout. I am hoping that you all are enjoying all the new features that have been implemented and the new looks. I just wanted to give everyone a break down of what has been done and what I have planed for the future.

Completed/Working:

• Round Corners
• Side Bar Titles Updated
  • Set correct titles
  • Removed Special Font
  • Titles are now text no longer images
• Flickr Avatar integration
  • Reduced Load time thanks to Session storage.
  • Sessions should be refreshed every 12 hours
• CoLoCo Members Roster
• Blinding Effect Added to Home Page Posts

Comming Soon:

• Blinding Effect will store to session. So when you come back to the article it will be in the last state you had it
• Avatars added to the Roster page
• Flickr Mash-Up to provide a Photo Gallery
• Updated SVN with the current website build. So that other LoCos maybe able to download it and improve upon it.
• Setup Flickr Mash-Ups to be configurable from the admin instead of editing scripts.

Also to all you other LoCos out there that want to have a website but do have the man power to setup or the scripting knowledge to do so. I will be uploading this all to SVN on code.google.com as well as setting up some documentation on how to deploy it. If you would like to use the current structure I can provide you with a copy and some information on how to set it up. Just email me on nerdynick [at] gmail (dot) com.

So for all you who are still visiting from StreetVibez. I am pleased to tell you all that me and DJ Lockdown are working on a new project that we hope to get out and released for everyone to check out. I currently can not tell you any details about the project other then it will be pretty cool. The only down side that you may drive a lot of you away from it is that it has nothing to do with music. I’m sorry.

But I hope you will all keep checking back for updates and further information about the project.

So in the little free time I have. I have been working on building a search bot. Currently I have it up and running in basic form in that it will go through all the links it can find on a website and read in all their code for parsing later by a index engine. There is a lot more I want to add and will be adding to the engines and components that will help any one out with using it.

If you would like to check it out and follow the development. You can visit the Google Code Project at http://code.google.com/p/web-ninja/
