Stärnefee Panorama & Website

I had the honor to create 360 degree panoramas of this lovely store in Riggisberg called Särnefee. It’s an art-deco store with loads of treasures and beautiful things.


I also did their website and the detail photos in the store (mostly used as backgrounds on the website).

Block zooming of Google maps

Google maps are used almost everywhere to either implement an address of a business, club, store or anything else on a lot of pages on the internet. It’s a nice and convenient way to do it.

BUT… almost on all pages where this is done, when you scroll down using the mouse wheel, once the mouse ends up inside the Google map, the map starts zooming out instead of the page continuing to scroll down.

Here’s how to make a Google map not zoom in or out when you scroll down a page with the mouse wheel and only zoom, pan or do anything with the Google map as soon as you click inside the map. The following workflow also blocks zooming again once the mouse leaves the Google map area.

I got this from Stackoverflow, reproducing it here in case the zombie apocalypse breaks out and stackoverflow goes bun bun.

First you want to add the following style to your website or custom CSS script in your WordPress installation:

.scrolloff {
  pointer-events: none;
}

Then you want to add the following JavaScript to the page:

<script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    console.log("allLoaded");
        // you want to enable the pointer events only on click;
        jQuery('#map_canvas1').addClass('scrolloff'); // set the pointer events to none on doc ready
	console.log("scrolloffAddedA");
        jQuery('#canvas1').on('click', function () {
	    console.log("clickDetected");
            jQuery('#map_canvas1').removeClass('scrolloff'); // set the pointer events true on click
	    console.log("scrolloffRemoved");
        });
        // you want to disable pointer events when the mouse leave the canvas area;
        jQuery("#map_canvas1").mouseleave(function () {
	    console.log("mouseLeft");
            jQuery('#map_canvas1').addClass('scrolloff'); // set the pointer events to none when mouse leaves the map area
	    console.log("scrolloffAddedB");
        });
    });
</script>

Note that I have a whole lot of echo’s in the code which let’s you debug the code. You might want to consider switching that off for efficiency.

And finally that’s how you want to embed the map itself:

<section id="canvas1" class="map">
<iframe id="map_canvas1" src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d87147.27677140976!2d7.324830610654608!3d46.95476576996358!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x478e39c0d43a1b77%3A0xcb555ffe0457659a!2sBern!5e0!3m2!1sde!2sch!4v1462400079917" width="100%" height="485" frameborder="0" style="border:0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</section>

Here is how this looks like in the end:


Posting source-code on self hosted WordPress

Psoting code on your WordPress Blog or Website

There’s a very easy, nice way to show source code on your blog or website.

If you are hosting your site on WordPress.com it’s even natively implemented.

Read the article on WordPress.com

If you self host your website or blog, you will need this plugin.

Here’s some examples of source code:

Some CSS code:

.scrolloff {
  pointer-events: none;
}

A JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    console.log("allLoaded");
        // you want to enable the pointer events only on click;
        jQuery('#map_canvas1').addClass('scrolloff'); // set the pointer events to none on doc ready
	console.log("scrolloffAddedA");
        jQuery('#canvas1').on('click', function () {
	    console.log("clickDetected");
            jQuery('#map_canvas1').removeClass('scrolloff'); // set the pointer events true on click
	    console.log("scrolloffRemoved");
        });
        // you want to disable pointer events when the mouse leave the canvas area;
        jQuery("#map_canvas1").mouseleave(function () {
	    console.log("mouseLeft");
            jQuery('#map_canvas1').addClass('scrolloff'); // set the pointer events to none when mouse leaves the map area
	    console.log("scrolloffAddedB");
        });
    });
</script>

Parallax with Ultimatum theme

Here’s a blog post from the Ultimatum theme developers about using parallax layers in Ultimatum. I was curious if we could use parallax backgrounds within a page/post and asked the dev’s this question. After getting an answer on my question I continued the discussion with their support via private messaging. Here’s the technique that came from this discussion.

First, following the blog post, create a div and add the class «parallax» to it.

That should look something like this:

<div class="parallax">
	...
</div>

NOTE: You don’t need to call it «parallax». You can call it whatever. You just have to use the same name in the css code. Because you will have to add the calls to the stellar java script as well for the parallax to work. Ultimatum uses Mark Dalgleish’s Stellar Java script.

So your html will loke like this:

<div class="parallax"  data-stellar-background-ratio="0.5">
	...
</div>

The number on the ratio actually defines how fast the parallax layer will move. At a value of 0.5 the parallax moves at medium speed. If you go higher the parallax will move slower. At a value of 1 the parallax layer is not moving at all. But at a value of 2.0 it will move fast. Besides that you can use all the arguments/calls listed here.

In your CSS script you can talk to the parallax layer like this

.myTopParallax {
  background-image: url("http://the-path-to-your-background-image.jpg");
  background-size: cover;
  padding-bottom: 40%;
}

The most important is to set the background image. Everything else is optional.

Ever had clients that could not decide on which font to use on their website?

This is a technique to implement a pull-down menu to test fonts on a web page

The html for the pull-down menu:

<link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Abel|Crimson+Text:400,400italic,600,600italic,700,700italic|Varela+Round|Patua+One|Gudea:400,400italic,700|Lora:400,400italic,700,700italic|Open+Sans+Condensed:300,300italic,700|Fjalla+One|Arvo:400,400italic,700,700italic' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

<select id="input-font" class="input"  onchange="changeFont (this);">
  <option value="Times New Roman" selected ="selected">Times New Roman</option>
  <option value="Abel">Abel</option>
  <option value="Crimson Text">Crimson Text</option>
  <option value="Varela Round">Varela Round</option>
  <option value="Patua One">Patua One</option>
  <option value="Gudea">Gudea</option>
  <option value="Lora">Lora</option>
  <option value="Open Sans Condensed">Open Sans Condensed</option>
  <option value="Fjalla One">Fjalla One</option>
  <option value="Arvo">Arvo</option>
</select>

The Javascript function:

<script>
    function changeFont(font){
        document.getElementById("output-text").style.fontFamily = font.value;
    }
</script>

And the html for the content:

<h3>Lorem ipsum dolor</h3>
<h4>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.</h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nullam gravida neque dolor, a ultricies justo viverra mattis.
