Bye-bye Prototype, long live jQuery!

Hi WordPress Community,

Long time no update. – I think I was kinda busy with my day job.

Anyway, it’s done. – After months of refactoring and adopting I’ve finally removed all instances of Prototype from bernhard-riedl.com, journeycalculator.com and my WordPress plugins.

These new versions of my WordPress plugins, which also include a face-lift of the user interface in the WordPress Admin Menu, are now based on jQuery and HTML5:

• GeneralStats v3.00
• TimeZoneCalculator v3.00
• TagPages v1.60 (no UI, so only other updates here)
• Featuring CountComments v1.40

If you find any bugs, please let me know.

As next step I plan to make the plugins fit for different display sizes with Responsive Web Design (RWD). This will be achieved by a combination of CSS Media Queries

@media screen and (max-width: 600px) {
	.my_container {
		display: none;
	}
}

@media screen and (min-width: 601px) {
	.my_container {
		display: block;
	}
}

and adoption to the viewport

function my_rwd_function() {
	if (jQuery(window).width() < 960) {
		/*
		do something for devices with a smaller screen
		*/
	}
	 
	else {
		/*
		or something for desktop devices, hdtvs, etc.
		*/
	}
});

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
	my_rwd_function();
});

jQuery(window).on('resize', function() {
	my_rwd_function();
});

… with RWD the jQuery way

My Best,
Berny
