We’ve just released a quick update to the News Ticker Stack. It now comes with a built-in option to enable jQuery if your site doesn’t have it, fixes an issue with certain accented characters and has a new bullet image feature.

We’ve created a lot of great Stacks over the last 12 months. Whilst we have got some great ideas of our own, we’d like to hear from you, the RapidWeaver community, with your ideas for potential Stacks.

If you’ve got a great idea, leave a comment below and once we’ve got a good selection of ideas, we’ll work to see if any of them can be a Stack.

Our ever popular Flickr Stack, Flickr Modern has now been updated. The main difference is that it’s now actually 2 Stacks, Flickr Modern and FM Photostream. The reason for this is that we’ve been able to being Set support back.

As you may know, Flickr changed their slideshow a while back which then broke our Stack. We were quick to bring it back, but we had to remove Set support. We are now pleased to say that Set support is back!

We had to split the Stack in to two so that we could keep the existing functionality. Flickr Modern now supports Sets only. For those who still want to display your entire Photostream, FM Photostream is on hand to do that.

Although it’s two Stacks, we’re treating it as one and will continue to charge just $1 for it.

Just like our recently updates Stacks, we’ve also updated the stack with a brand new Installer. Once downloaded, just double-click the installer and it will automatically install or update the stack for you.

The update is now available for download. For existing customers, just follow the download link within your original email invoice and the download will run automatically.

If you are using a free version of the stack or have yet to purchase the Stack - all our stacks are just $1 each.

News Ticker, a jQuery powered one-line news ticker for RSS feeds, similar to sites such as BBC and Apple.com. It supports up to 10 headlnes from your own RSS feed and has various options to set the animation time, font size and more.

It’s the same Stack that we use when you visit our home page (and it was originally created for that exact reason!).

All our stacks are just $1 each.

As we announced just over 10 days ago, we will shortly be charging for Stacks. This will allow us to re-focus on providing more frequent updates.

We will begin charging for Stacks tomorrow (23rd April 2010) at 12pm GMT. Once the transition is complete, we will then begin work on developing and delivering updates. We won’t be updating any Stacks immediately but we will be laying the groundwork for it.

Stack purchases will work in the same way as Theme purchases and can be purchased along side them.

Along side Premium Stacks, we will also be completing our theme/stack updates service. As we have previously mentioned, we are wanting email communications with our customers to be opt-in. As there are many ways for us to announce updates, many customers no longer wish to receive email notifications. To automate and monitor this, when purchasing, you will be asked if you wish to receive updates via email or provide you with alternative ways of being kept up to date.

After a (very) brief removal, the Flickr Modern stack is now available.

What happened?
Flickr made a change to how one of their slideshows work. Our stack contained the slideshow in an iFrame - similar to the iFrame page feature in RapidWeaver. Flickr added some code that would allow the slideshow to detect if it was framed and would automatically break out and go full screen. This meant that after the change, any users with the Flickr Modern stack would not get the full benefit (and hide any content on screen).

Is it fixed?
Yes, sort of. I have re-released the stack using Flickr’s preferred embed code, however it means that it’s currently limited to a single user’s photostream. Displaying group pools or specific tags isn’t a feature that is yet available. I am working on writing new stacks that will provide these features. These will almost certainly be seperate stacks.

A note about the update to Flickr Modern - I have been working on it very quickly so it’s currently back to Beta, it seems to be working with no problems but it has not had as much testing as I’d like. As the foundation of the stack hasn’t changed, I don’t forsee any problems, though please contact us if you do find an issue.

Visit the Flickr Modern page to download.

Due to a change in how the official Flickr slideshow works, the Flickr Modern stack will no longer function correctly. I am currently working to see if a fix is available. In the meantime, I highly recomend changing to one of our alternative Flickr stacks. A post will be up as soon as there is an update.

In order to maintain performance, Yahoo! Pipes powered Stacks such as JSFlickr and Ember can display a maximum of 20 images. Apologies for any inconvenience though this is a limitation imposed by Yahoo! to preserve performance.

The guys over at Realmac have done a tremendous job with LittleSnapper 1.5 and their new cloud service Ember, the replacement for QuickSnapper.

This does mean our QS Stack will no longer function. We are working on an update which will be in test as soon as Ember is fully operational. (As of this moment, Ember is still displaying the Interface Issues banner).

Check back soon for an update!

Our Flickr Stack has been updated and is now called Flickr Classic. This is to differentiate it from our newest Flickr Stack called Flickr Modern. It is similarly featured to Flickr Classic, but provides fullscreen support and uses Flickr’s sleeker Slideshow player. It’s available now from the Goodies page.

I have spoken to a few people over at the Realmac Forums and there appears to be an issue with the MobileMe Stack and Internet Explorer 7. I am still working on finding out what is causing the issue, however it is most likely theme related. As the Stack works correctly in other browsers and in IE when using an alternative theme, I hope to have a fix soon.

I believe this issue affects any Yahoo! Pipe Stack as it seems to be something discussed on the Internet before.

Just updated the site so downloads are working correctly. There was an issue with the last update which has now been resolved. Apologies for anyone who was unable to download.

We’ve come across a strange bug that can crop up when using a few of our Stacks. With any stacks that require text information to be intered (such as our Flickr Stacks requiring tags) and the field is left blank, the placeholder for that bit of code appears. From what we can see, this may or may not be a bug with our Stacks.

We’re working on trying to find out what is causing the issue. If you find that the Stack is not working as you’d expect - check the Inspector HUD. Flickr users, for now you will need to enter a tag I’m afraid.

As soon as a solution is available, we will let you know.

Tumblr Stack 1.2.1 has just been released. It has a couple of bug fixes with regards to list bullet types and a fixes a bug where images would not center despite the option being selected.

With the release of Windows 7 RC and Microsoft’s decision to make Internet Explorer 8 an automatic upgrade on previous versions of Windows, I thought I’d discuss our favourite browser, Internet Explorer 6.

There are a number of sites that web designers that are now dropping support for Internet Explorer 6. At the end of the day, it’s an old browser (over 8 years) and is unable to cope with the demands of modern website production.

As a result, I have taken a decision regarding 2bitoperation’s stand on Internet Explorer 6 that relates to any RapidWeaver theme we release.

Both QuickSnapper and MobileMe stacks have been updated.

MobileMe Stack
Stack has been completely overhauled and now features the same style slideshow as the QuickSnapper stack. It now also features high-resolution images so you can create even larger stacks to show off your photos.

QuickSnapper Stack and Snippet
Stack and Snippet have been updated with the ability to control the height of the generated slideshow. This is necessary to allow large slideshows to be created.
The Stack/Snippet’s backend has also been updated so that it now loads the QuickSnapper medium image instead of the original high-resolution one. This dramatically decreases the slideshow’s load time and makes it much quicker to cache the images.

You can download the latest versions from their respective Stacks page. Please make sure to remove the old stack before updating.

Bridging the gap between RapidWeaver and QuickSnapper, 2bitoperation presents the QuickSnapper Pack!

You may have noticed we haven’t released any new Stacks for a while now. The reason for this is because I’ve always wanted to make Stacks free, they have had to take a back seat to other committments such as Themes. Our Stacks have been such an amazing success that they have been downloaded a great many more times than I ever thought.

We are at a crossroads with Stacks and have a choice - either suspend future development for the time being, or charge for them. Here’s why...
