It is often helpful to use an autocompleter on your website. Perhaps in search dialogs? An example is google on an extra search page.

I tested some free tools, but I had always the problem that there was no possibility to use two or more autocompleter on one page and to organize the dependency. E.g. insert a name of a country in the first textbox and in the second textbox insert a name of a city. On the city textbox you only want to see cities belonging to the inserted country – no other cities.

This problem was the reason why I developed my own autocompleter using xajax. This framework allows me to respond on the key events and select the values from the database. I could write my own functions and use any parameters.

I generated a textbox with a hidden div below which is calling a function on the onkeyup event by using xajax. In this test I mark the searched string with a span and on CSS I colored it blue. Additional I added a mouseover using CSS.

Here you could download the second version of my autocompleter.

Changes:
– Using the arrow keys to choose the correct value
– Performance Tuning

Last week I released the new profile on the We aRe oNe pages. Several hours have elapsed since starting this project. We talked about many concepts, features and ideas. Chuky10 has done a good job by designing the layout. I got a really good feedback from the community. Only a few people were not happy with that change…

Now you have a nice overview about your settings. On the first frame you can change your password, read the terms again or delete the account by yourself. On the second frame you can change your profile information, edit your details or modify the description. Otherwise you can insert your contact settings (MSN, MySpace, ICQ and website), accept open buddy requests, upload a profile picture, sort your charts or setup when you want to get E-Mails.

It is possible to get E-Mails on buddy requests or new guestbook entries and it is possible to get the We aRe oNe Newsletter.

If you would like to show your relationship status on your profile, you can choose between “In Love”, “Single”, “In Relationship”, “Married”, … Every selection have an own symbol. Let the community know about you and write an additional text about your current relationship.

On another post we informed you about the new tracklist. This was needed to allow the user to add the currently played track simply to the user’s charts. You can add the tracks from the releases and from the charts of another user, too.

Last but not least is the buddy list. Feel free to add some other users to your buddy list, send them messages or sign the guestbook. Normally each We aRe oNe member would be very happy about a friend request.

The webmaster team is hoping that the community likes the new features. That is not the last update. I promise it! Dodge is releasing a new feature soon… Be patient ;-)

It’s done.

The new Tracklist is online. Yesterday evening Remo released the Tracklist v². The new version links to releases and shows the cover. But it is planned to add a new TOP Secret feature next week. ;-)

As I checked my emails this morning, I was suprised as well as happy. I got an email from google that they have added TechnoBase.FM to their news search.

I’m really glad about that because hopefully more people get to know our radio. Now more readers are attracted to our page and so the participation of our news posters will be honored.

You can have a look by yourself: http://news.google.de/news?pz=1&ned=de&hl=de&q=site%3Atechnobase.fm

A friend told me something about a tool called fiddler2. It is a web debugging proxy. You only have to start this program and surf in the internet. You can see which pages / files are opened by each application, you can check the status (HTTP Status) and the used protocol, too.

It helps a lot by searching for errors!

As I descripted in that post, we have updated the news system. Now it is possible to post news at one special page or at all pages. To avoid any problems and allow you to choose your favourite radio news, you can now subscribe radio special rss feeds.

Enjoy it! ;-)

As descripted in this news we released the new releases system on the We aRe oNe pages. Now you could search for releases, have a nice overview about all the releases and an interesting detail page. This system was created by Remolus, a member of the rarecore project!

But, that was only the first step. New features are coming soon:
- Artist overview with all releases grouped by an artist
- Many links to different online shops for buying the tracks (don’t search a long time)
- Link the tracklist to the releases
- Create your own charts by clicking on a track of the tracklist
- Comments and vote releases

Our 5th We aRe oNe radio, called CoreTime.FM, has started! You can read some information about on that news.

It is a radio only for hard-, french, speed- and darkcore, … and is leaded by Björn “derade” Kuiper , the founder of Hard Music Entertainment. He is member of the We aRe oNe Community since 28th March 2005.

The page is designed by spYed – one of the best designer I know and a member of the rarecore project!

That’s all!

TinyMCE is a nice WYSIWYG Editor for a Webapplication. In my application I’m very interested in allowing the users to use BB Code to optimize the visualisation of the texts (guestbooks, news comments, …). Before I released the TinyMCE Editor on my Webradio website, I did some tests.

1. At first, I entered the following text into my textarea:

2. After submit the form, I get this text displayed:

Now you can see that the text which is between the <strong> tag is now displayed as bold. But, it shouldn’t be! If I choose the BB code plugin I think the html tag should be disabled…

3. After submit the form again, I get this text displayed:

Well, now my HTML Tag is rendered as a bb code tag. That’s wrong. I want to display the html tag and not a formatted bb code text.

I searched for support, but nobody on the TinyMCE board helps me…
After some tests, I think, I fixed the bug.

Please change the _tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/bbcode/editor_plugin.js file and add the following lines to line 47 (before replacing the old tags).

rep(/</gi,"<");
rep(/>/gi,">");
