Cover Flow 1.1.0 Released

Filed under: Cover Flow, Software updates — Matus @ 12:14 pm

New version of CoverFlow makes the url linking easier:

Each item in the coverflow is defined with:
<cover>
<img><![CDATA[dog.jpg]]></img>
<desc><![CDATA[Dog]]></desc>
<param><![CDATA[http://www.google.com/images?q=dog]]></param>
</cover>

If you want a item to open an URL, you specify the url in the param parameter. If the url starts with ‘http’ no other action is required, flash detects that an url is provided (if the param does not start with http, the JS function is called as in the previous version).

If you use a different url (not starting with ‘http’), e.g. “/wp-archive/sompage.html”, you must provide the attribute “type“:
<param type=”url”><![CDATA[/wp-archive/sompage.html]]></param>

By default, the url opens in new window. You can override it with the “target” parameter:
<param type=”url” target=”_top”><![CDATA[/wp-archive/sompage.html]]></param>
