This video should give you a good idea what the addon can actually do.

In my last article I gave you a rough overview of the features & requirements. Here some more details and additions:

  1. Added the fixed header & footer container to the admin interface. You can add special padding, to the top and bottom, through the fullpage settings and make room for them. These are standard content containers, that can hold any Visual Composer content or row setup.
  2. Added automatic menu, which adds links to each section as they are created. Link title matches the section title.
  3. Define section and slide anchors, which are reflected in the browser history.
  4. Sections and Slides can have different backgrounds, providing nice effect options. I added an image background to Section 1 and semi-transparent background colors to the Slides.
  5. Fullpage.js configuration is fully integrated and working. The system sets defaults for a quick start.
  6. Fullpage.js CSS override has been added, but is not complete yet. Added code editor.
  7. Fullpage.js Events have been added and are fully functional. These events are triggered after load, after slide load, after leaving a slide and other events.
  8. iScroll can be seen in Section 2. Added resize handling and configuration options. Still need to do some minor tweaks.
  9. iScroll custom scrollbars are on my list, but not sure I will add these yet.
  10. Prebuild Templates will be added, so that you can quickstart your design. Visual Composer 4.5+ provides some nice new options.
  11. Visual Composer requirement will be 4.5+.
  12. The admin provides a nice color separation for all components and count for slides & sections.

The addon is mostly done. I am finalizing the main admin area this week and will do a final cleanup next week, for the first beta release.

Many people have asked me for a release date. I currently plan to have a fully working Beta in the next 2-3 weeks. Will offer the Addon to a small closed group of customers first, before I think about other release options. I think I will offer between 20-30 slots for the beta run. If you are interested let me know.

Regards
Alexander

Updates

  1. Quickly choose which section / slide to load, when the page is opened.
    cubicFusion_VC_Fullpage_Bchoose
  2. The addon is injecting its own page template, to make sure that the main container is clear of any theme related margins or padding. As soon as the Fullpage container is added to the layout, the template gets selected dynamically.

Many developers hesitate to call WordPress a PHP development platform. I know what I am talking about, as I developed a platform of my own. PHP platforms normally only provide a skeleton and we need to

  • Decide on a database schema
  • Create the database
  • Setup backends and dashboards
  • Design the presentation layer
  • Implement user-level authentication and similar

THE FRONTEND EXPERIENCE

With WordPress you get most of this out-of-the-box, with some predefined structures.

Having a flexible administration backend in place makes it easy to concentrate on the things that matter for a project, which is designing a frontend experience.

JSON MATTERS

And especially with the JSON REST API finding its way into the core slowly, you are completely free when it comes to using the stored data in your frontend designs.

Sure that was possible before, just with some more work on our side ;)

But WordPress embracing the „freeing of data“ through JSON, shows us where the ride is going.

THE NEW SINGLE APP UNIVERSE

There has not been a single project of mine in the past year, that has not used the REST API in some way. And all of this fits perfectly into the new single page app universe.

WordPress interfaces with your javascript framework setup (client side templating, DOM manipulation, data binding, routing …) and frees you from any design handcuffs.

It has become much easier and faster over the past 2 years to say „YES“ to many of my clients wishes.

Its nice to finally see data flow from the server to the client and back that easily.

If you are not exited about this … I am :)

When the defer attribute is present in the script tag, it specifies that the script is executed when the page has finished parsing. A requirement that is enforced by Google for example (Page-Speed ranking).

Currently the WordPress wp_enqueue_script provides no easy way to add new attributes, but there is a way around that :)
The below hack / filter needs to be added to your theme function.php. The filter should be your preferred solution, as the clean_url filter has been deprecated.

Make sure that your website / theme is still loading after adding these changes. If needed you can add more exceptions, as I did for jQuery.

„WebP is an image format employing both lossy and lossless compression. It is currently developed by Google, based on technology acquired with the purchase of On2 Technologies.“ – Wikipedia

As the WebP is not widely supported, you need to use polyfills or workarounds to actually use it. But it makes a lot of sense when you are building image heavy applications for the web. It decreases file-sizes immensely and supports transparency as PNG does.

To allow WebP upload in WordPress, add this to your functions.php:

Browsers with native support will show WebP images natively, for browsers without support deploy WebPJS developed by Google. Download and add it to your theme functions.php

This should do the trick and enable WebP for all modern browsers, see browser support on the WebPJS development page.

Here another little nice trick to check for WebP using Javascript and replace webp with png images.

Enjoy
