Leona Naess animated logo and holding page

Date: 15th August 2008 at 10:19 am | Filed under: flash, portfolio | Author: Sam Burdge

This holding page built for Polydor artist, singer / songwriter Leona Naess features an animated logo with random fades and glows. The flash random timing actionscript is something I have utilised in the past to create similar effects (see: Flash mousetrails with random flashes!).

The holding page also features a streaming mp3 (using flash), mailing list signup form with javascript validation embedded youtube video and google analytics.

WP File Download Plugin

Date: 18th January 2008 at 5:14 pm | Filed under: development, plugins, wordpress | Author: Sam Burdge

This WordPress plugin allows you to attach a download file to any post or page via the write/edit page in WordPress. It also forces files that would usually open in the user's web browser, such as jpg, mp3 or pdf to download to the their desktop instead. At the moment it only allows one attachment per post/page, but it's beauty is in it's simplicity.

Installation:

  1. Download the plugin file here: WP File Download Plugin (1.0)
  2. Upload the wp-digi-clock folder to your wp-content/plugins folder
  3. Activate the plugin from the plugins page

Usage:

  1. Upload a file via the WordPress upload form or FTP
  2. Enter the full URL to the file (including http://www.) into the box in the 'File for download' tab in the right sidebar in the Write/Edit page in WordPress

Adding your own Download Image:

  1. Replace the file plugins/wp_file_download/download-button.png with any image file of the same name.

Example:

    this plugin is a great idea, but it would be much more useful if it could upload the file and then display it for download.

    Hi Senise
    You can use the wordpress upload form already provided to upload the file. The point in this is that only files uploaded by that form will show up in your wordpress uploads page, and under the 'browse all' tab in the write page. Files uploaded by ftp or other means will not show up in your list of uploads.

    Hi Exinco
    It should work for any file type, but it will always prompt the user to download the file (It forces files that would usually open in the user’s web browser, such as jpg, mp3 or pdf to download to the their computer instead).
    Try it out and let me know if you have any problems.
