Forums and commenting re-imagined

Forums and commenting re-imagined

Next generation discussion forums | Iroquote CodeMirror Switching from Disqus to Muut Disqus has been around for a while, and it is certainly a popular blog commenting system. To embed onto your page, they still use a technology that’s almost as old as Internet Explorer: the iframe. Since then, the technological landscape has significantly changed. Today, JavaScript can remotely communicate with a 3rd party domain in real-time. We can ditch the old iframe and opt for real embedding instead. A discussion module will actually sit on your site, inheriting your existing CSS styling. Skinning The problem with iframe is that it’s not really a part of your website: it’s a window to a remote site. Muut commenting is a true part of your page, just like all the other stuff: text, tables, forms, or images. Use your everyday deployment tools and CSS pre-processors just like before. The minimalistic, uncluttered user interface becomes a seamless part of your website, your brand, and your site’s overall experience. Performance Iframes are slow. Muut is only 3 tiny files. An example:

Hands-On With The New Modern UI Apps In Windows 8.1 The Windows 8.1 Preview has brought back the Start Button, redesigned some apps, and introduced a fair number of new ones. Some of these new apps are truly impressive, while others are the Modern UI version of apps that already existed as desktop versions and have long been part of the Windows OS. Between the revamped apps, the new apps, and those that are Modern UI versions of their desktop counterparts, we have four very impressive utility apps: Alarm, Calculator, Sound Recorder, and Scan, the latter three of which are essentially revamped Modern UI variants of existing Windows features, whereas the new Photo Editor, Health and Fitness, Food and Drinks, and Reading List apps have been developed from scratch. Alarm Of the four utility apps introduced in this preview, Alarms is the only one that didn’t have a desktop version, nor did it exist in any previous version of Windows. The Alarm app is actually three apps in one, the other two being a stopwatch and a timer. Calculator Scan

Help | Muut Quick embedding NOTE If you are using WordPress, Shopify, or Wix, please check with your platform’s help page first. The quickest way to embed Muut on your own website is to place the following two-line snippet (also available on your Settings panel) on your page wherever you’d like the forum to be displayed (often at the end of the page, right before the closing </body> tag): <a class="muut" href=" Community Title</a><script src="//cdn.muut.com/1/moot.min.js"></script> To embed Muut in your language, simply pick the localized edition of Muut. Reload the page and you have Muut running on your site! If you do have full rights to author your website and plan to create a dedicated page just for your Muut community, you can start from a blank HTML document as follows: <! Note The Muut client application loads all the dependencies (jQuery and the Muut stylesheet) on its own, no need for manual inclusion. Threaded commenting <body><header><! Flat commenting <!

stickUp - a free jQuery Plugin Setting up stickUp in Wordpress is a breeze. I am also working on development of a Wordpress Plugin version of stickUp, which will allow for an easy backend to work with and include many features. Its exactly the same as setting it up on any other website, but here are exact instructions for Wordpress users. First, you must download the stickUp javascript file 'stickUp.min.js' and place it in a directory called 'js' in your theme's directory. Create this directory if it doesn't already exist. Visit GitHub Next, include the stickUp javascript file into Wordpress. Near the very bottom of the file above the '</body>' tag and below the '<? Finally, add the javascript code that enables stickUp on your Wordpress Theme. Directly below the code that we inserted in the last step, paste the following code snippit. Done! **Specifically look at the Extras feature 'marginTop' to add a margin for use with the Wordpress Toolbar, otherwise it may have a conflict.
