Markup Requirements

Navigation

Default selector (“.tabNav a”) can be overwritten by passing in {nav: “someSelector”}

div id = “containerID-nav” | we have to have it this way in order to find the tabbed container for the divs to toggle.
a = each href #DIVID-TO-SHOW corresponds with a unique id of a div within the container.
Html:


    Tab1|
    Tab2|
    Tab3

Containers

Once we run the click event for all anchors in the class .tabNav. On Click we then check the ID of the parent div in order to determine the container to search and toggle within because of this we have to follow a naming convention for the container that corresponds with the navigation. On click of Tab

Html:


Tab 1
Tab 2
Tab 3

Paginated Search within Search and CCE in Saxotech Online

SaxoHelp.com — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 20:24:07 +0000

Currently Saxotech has no solution or options regarding Pagination within Saxotech Online. For both CCE and Fast Search / Search it will only offer you a Next & Previous Links and a total number of records found and the current span that is showing for the given page you are on.

Standard Saxotech Online Results

We have developed a better solution that is based on the ever popular Digg.com Style pagination.

Digg Pagination for Saxotech Online

This is just one style and lots can be done with this. It is less than 100 lines of code and can be quickly and painlessly integrated into your site.

You can implement this in under 5 minutes as its one tag and one script that needs to be added.

This is a first attempt at offering a “plugin” for Saxotech Online.

Tabbed Content, Fading,Scrolling, Photo Galleries, Menus, Ajax – loading data without the annoying refresh.

jQuery is a very powerful tool and with all of the extensions out there it can make your development time extremely quick.

You can see it in action and find tons of tutorials and examples in one nicely laid out page here – jQuery List and be sure to check out the official jQuery Tutorials on the official jQuery site.

Let me know if you have any questions or would like to see some examples in action within Saxotech Online and I can put together a Saxotech Online Tutorial utilizing jQuery.

Happy Coding!

As I come across great Jquery links / Articles etc – I will add them here.

DayParting your site to adapt to your audience in Saxotech Online.

SaxoHelp.com — Thu, 07 May 2009 00:53:37 +0000

Day-Parting or DayParting has been heavily utilized by the Television media industry for years to target audiences and provide the content that will be appealing to your demographic at that given span of time.

The same practices of Day-Parting / DayParting can be applied within Saxotech Online to provide the exact content your audience.

You want to serve up two different include files within Saxotech Online based on the Time (midnite until noon / noon until midnite).

This can be achieved by a Macro within Saxotech Online, a little syntax and a dash of objectScript.

\\Set the current 2 digit hour and two digit minute to a local variable named DayPartingTimeTest
<%currentdate$d("hhmm")$V(DayPartingTimeTest)%>
\\If the time is greater than 12:00 a.m. AND before 12:00 p.m
[%{DayPartingTimeTest>0000&DayPartingTimeTest<1200}
\\morning content
    
  %|%
\\nightly content
     
%]

This is a basic example to get you started but this can be applied to PBS:AD tags as well as integrating with other 3rd party AD systems to target ad’s to your audience just like your content.
