I seem the weblog reader who knows the AIRTIGHT INTERACTIVE guessed it will be released when I released the SimpleViewer plugin.
Yes ! I release the second round of the AIRTIGHT INTERACTIVE Flash viewer plugin series today.
Introducing the PostcardViewer plugin.
The PostcardViewer is one of the favorite flash application for me. However this flash application is really cool when it's running on full screen on the browser. Also the operation condition of free version of the PostcardViewer is a little troublesome for the plugin architecture. Of course, IE is a selfish personality against such a situation.

Actually, it's not still displayed correct in some theme by IE. However almost functionality is working well. So I decided to release first beta today. If you found out some wrong html code which was generated by this plugin, please make comment this weblog.
I hope you like it.

"TOO COOL FOR IE" ... It's hackneyed expression.
Now I'm developing new plugin. In this moment, basic function has been completed. However it's not displayed correctly only by Internet Explorer as usual. I have iBook G3, iMacG4 and iMacG5. But what is worse is that I don't have Windows PC in my home. So I have to check a result of html generated by new plugin at my office. It's a very inefficient work.
The browser except Internet Explorer displays correctly the html. That means a basic html and css settings are very standard. Always Internet Explorer requests some tricky technique. At least that's the way I look at it.

My main job is computer-related work. However it's not the Internet market. I seem that person who is doing this kind of work is always frustrating.
I think I'm lucky my job is not the Internet market.
There you have it, will you allow me some more time to release new plugin ?

I am really glad to be pleased more than the expectation with you in the support forum.
However there was a fatal problem in the public beta 1 as wrote in the support forum. I could not notice at home while developing because I did not use PC (Windows) at all. Therefore, I was disappointed when I saw the sample site in my company. (I'm a windows user in my company)

So I fixed major problems and released the public beta 2 today. Please check it out if you are interested in it.
If you have some problems on public beta 2 please contribute this entry's comment.

Today, I release my first plugin for RapidWeaver, because it has been completed as first beta earlier than originally planned. It's not only my first plugin but also my first Macintosh application. This really simple plugin was named SimpleViewer plugin. Yes, It's SimpleViewer page builder for RapidWeaver.
I seem that I'm a long way from being able to completely understand the architecture of the plug-in and Cocoa , and program it freely. However, being able to achieve this "Completed Something" was a huge gain of self-confidence for me. Also this experience will make good advantageous effect for my future projects.
You can download SimpleViewer plugin from here. Please test if you like it.

In addition, The composition of the tools page has been changed with the release of this plugin. Please change the book mark if you had a book mark to directly link to the tools pages.

In case you didn't know, I'm NOT discontinuing the development of RapidWeaverBBS. This is something like a etude for my goal.

I seem that the roadmap of Isaiah who is great RW plugin developer was best way.
I would say, at a guess, He developed "Columns" first. Afterwards, it would be the order of "Collage", "Accordion", and "Blocks". Also each plugins are great but I guess it's in ascending order of difficulty of programing.

The development of RapidWeaverBBS plugin has various hurdles for "Sunday Xcode programmer" like me as weblogged before. It may seem like a hassle, but I thought I ought to go back to the basics and review my roadmap. Haste makes waste, they say.

For such a reason, I have started developing another plugin for practice of plugin architecture since few weeks ago. Don't worry ! It doesn't mean I give up developing the RapidWeaverBBS. It's one step of the development roadmap of the RapidWeaverBBS.

Actually I scheduled to make this "Practice Plugin" at first. However I thought that it was more difficult until I learnt SDK, so I left it on a back burner.

The "Practice Plugin" is still under developing. However main function has been completed. My remainder jobs are parameter setting function such as a background color etc. Also these jobs are not so complex and it's good practice exercise for me to understand the Cocoa architecture.

So, I will release the first beta version within two weeks. I will inform in this weblog and the support forum.
Which kind of plugin are you going to release ?
Just wait until you see it ! (I think that this "Practice Plugin" is a little bit attractive for you)
