Search Engine Sphider – web crawler
05 Sep 2011I was looking for a easy and simple way to crawl multiple web-sites and build a search catalog.
After a few google searches I found sphider I really love it and it does exactly what I was expecting.
You define the URL’s you wish to index, set the level of how deep you wish to follow the links and it gives you a super fast and powerful search engine.

Dynamic google map markers via simple jSon file
27 Jun 2011After making my previous post on how to simply store comments in a jSon file (and the comment from Brian) I decided to write an additional HOWTO create dynamic markers and store them in a jSon file.
It also includes an automatic geo data lockup via Google GeoCoder and generates a detail html file for-each marker created, which then will be loaded dynamic when the marker is clicked.

WordPress mootools accordion menu
17 Jan 2010I just migrated my old DasBlog to WordPress (really like it). After making a few changes to the default theme I was wondering if there is a simple way to have a mootools accordion effect on my sidebar.
I know there are 10 ways to install accordion menus, but somehow none of them was working for me as I believe in simple solutions.
Here a small script I added to my header and the accordion was working after 5 minutes.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 | // add event listener to parse side panel window.addEvent('domready', function() { // add class name to widget element var togglerElements = $('li.widget'); for(var i=0; i < togglerElements.length; i++) { togglerElements[i].childNodes[1].className = "widget_element"; } // create Accordion instance var myAccordion = new Accordion($('accordion'), 'li.widget', '.widget_element', { opacity: false }); }); |
Make sure you include Mootools 1.2 Library.
As I could not find a way to add a class name or id to the sub <ul> element of the widget title I loop throe them and add the className.
Ok I agree a bit hacky but it does the job. If there should be a better solution please let me know.
