My employer, Resource Interactive, recently released the company’s Christmas wish (go to http://www.resource.com/ and click on “Wish” to see the large version – or CHECK IT OUT ON MY SIDE BAR! …I recognize if you’re viewing the article, it’s not as big – so if you hit my homepage you’ll see it in a higher resolution, or you can hit up Resource.com!
It’s utilizing the Clearspring widget platform – easy deployment and sharing of widgets across Facebook, myspace, etc. It’s easy enough to just drop in the code in a post – but I decided I wanted to play with mootools Swiff plug-in – it’s basically SWFObject customized for mootools (so if you used SWFObject and mootools – you need to QUIT and start using Swiff!).
I created a Resource Wish Wordpress Plugin – you DO need the mootools framework on your site (I’ve got a plug-in for that as well, but I’m working on rewriting it to utilize the Google AJAX Library so you can offload the bandwidth to Google, and you can just select the framework and go). So of course I need to also account for pre-existing loaded frameworks…
To use it, you just add a div with and ID of “resourceXmas2k8″ and Mootools and Swiff will do the rest!
