[rz] Masonry Filter v1.0.0.2

This extension -for the WB's Masonry object- allows you to filter which layers can be shown or hidden.

DEMO

HTML 4.01 Transitional
W3C compliant


* New in version 1.0.0.2:

- Fixed an inherited bug handling layers with borders.

* New in version 1.0.0.1:

- Optimized code.


How to use?

First things first: please read in full the masonry's documentation so as you can know how it works, also please take a look at the available samples.

1. Design your page according to the masonry scheme.
2. As you added 'class="item"' ('item' or the class/selector name you want), add the 'filter name' you want, i.e. 'music' and as many as you need for each element; so, you will have something like that: 'class="item media image"' and in other element can be 'class="item media music"' or 'class="item media video"' or 'class="item media image color"', etc... (without the single quotes.)
3. Add the masonry object and specify your desired .selector and #container.
4. Add the [rz] Masonry Filter extension and set-up the same #container and .selector as in the masonry wb's object, this way both extensions will be "shake their hands".
5. Add texts, shapes or any other object that accepts events, they will act as "filter buttons".
6. For each "filter button" -the object that accepts events-, open its properties dialog.
7. Go to the Events tab.
8. Click on "add..." button.
9. In the Add event dialog, select:
Event -> onclick
Action -> Javascript Function
Javascript -> MyMasonryFilter('filterstring')
10. Click on the OK button (twice) until the object's dialog is closed.
11. Remember to go to the step #6 until all of your links/events are defined.

Just replace MyMasonryFilter by the actual object (extension) id; the same for the quoted filterstring, enter the actual filter criterium such as 'video', 'image', etc. The function call may be: filter('image');
If you don't specify any filter, all of the objects will be shown. The function may be: filter();

Enjoy!

(i don't know about this type of gallery)

[naftalina]

I do not have enough knowledge to do what it says in the manual.
Would I be able to get a demo project or if someone who is already using this extensions can help me to complete the page that I started?

My project is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pjlzytslnwqad ... y.zip?dl=0

please refer to the wb masonry documentation and/or sample files
the [rz] Masonry Filter is an add-on for the wb masonry extension
first you must know how to configure it and lastly this extension

[naftalina]

So, I need WB Masonry extension?
I didn't know for that extension.
All this things are new to me.

Where I can find that extension?
I'm looking in extension manager but I can't find. :/

Any chance to make manuals for all your extensions in PDF format, like other extensions that we install via the Extension Manager?
For me is difficult to understand manual without all the steps illustrated.
jQuery Masonry Extension I learned very fast with manual, and now I'm stuck on Masonry Filter. :/

instead of complaint about the file format, why you dont tell me which part is unclear for you from the following simple steps?

(from the info file)

With total respect... I dont actually think this was a complaint? I read it as a polite questions because there was a '?' and not a '!'

Well I didnt read it that way

[naftalina]

instead of complaint about the file format, why you dont tell me which part is unclear for you from the following simple steps?

If you can add illustrations in txt format I will not complaint on format.
So this is not about format, this is about manuals quality.
Yours plagins are nice but manuals not.

[[RZ]]

which part is unclear for you?

[naftalina]

I am not sure why wont work. May be any step. If I had illustations (like other extension have) or demo project it would be much easier for me and for you.

[[RZ]]

even the sample file does not work?
(i think a sample file may help even better than a screenshot)
have you followed the steps as described?
have you misspelled a class name, an object id or something like that?

[naftalina]

I guess that I stuck here: Javascript -> MyMasonryFilter('filterstring')
This is my project: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pjlzytslnwqad ... y.zip?dl=0

even the sample project does not work?

[naftalina]

even the sample project does not work?

Where is the sample project?

[naftalina]

This morning I tried Quicksand Extension. Very quickly I passed manual and all worked.
However this plugin does not work well by itself. Animation only works from ALL to CLASS and from CLASS to ALL.
Animation from CLASS to CLASS do not work. You can check here what I did with Quicksand: http://remix.com.hr/
So, your plugin is much better but Quicksand PDF manual is better to me.
This is feedback for you and I wish you'll think about it.
I have no programming knowledge and I use the WB because they say "Easy and Fun". It is not easy and fun if I can not understand manual. : /

the sample file should be within the zip file you received

[naftalina]

the sample file should be within the zip file you received

I don't have that file. I have just wbx and txt.

[[RZ]]

ok, in that case perhaps the sample file has been deleted accidentally
i will check this out and will send you the sample file to your e-mail as soon as i find it

[[RZ]]

the file has been sent
i checked this out and it works

[naftalina]

I recived sample project. Thanks
