Farcry Plugins

Over the last few years I've developed a few simple plugins for Farcry that I use as a starting point for almost all sites that we work on. Some of these we roll into our skeleton but I feel they may be more useful as simple plugins for us and the wider community to use. Now that Farcry uses the JQuery library as it's javascript foundation, it makes sense to start porting these plugins over to using JQuery as well.

Farcry Events Multi Plugin

This is a simple plugin that extends the farcrycms dmEvents type. It adds the ability to add multiple event start and end times. It adds a custom form tool, dateTimeWddx.cfc that stores the mutliple start and end dates in the WDDX format. During the BeforeSave function it cycles through the WDDX formated multiple dates to find the startDate and the endDate.

The Farcry Events Multi plugin requires Farcry 6.x, the farcrycms plugin and is installed in the usual fashion of:

1. Drop the 'wbEventsMulti' folder into the '/farcry/plugins' folder.
2. Edit the 'farcryConstructor.cfm' file and set 'THIS.plugins' to include 'wbEventsMulti' after 'farcrycms'.

Pretty Photo Gallery

This plugin started out as the 'Farcry Greybox' plugin back in the Farcry 5.x days. (you can see that still in use on this site!) I soon changed it to use a MooTools lightbox plugin, but more recently, I've changed it to use Pretty Photo.

There's great opportunity for customising and most of all, it plays well with other JQuery scripts that might be in use.

The Pretty Photo Gallery plugin requires Farcry 6.x and is installed in the usual fashion of:

1. Drop the 'wbPrettyPhoto' folder into the '/farcry/plugins' folder.
2. Edit the 'farcryConstructor.cfm' file and set 'THIS.plugins' to include 'wbPrettyPhoto' after 'farcrycms'.
