Text Area Word Counter
I needed to get a word counter for a text area that could calculate the amount of words and then multiply that number to get a price for carrying out a translation - you can see the script in action here: http://easytranslate.dk/da/korrekturlaesning.html
The line with pri.value = cnt*5; The five is the multiplication factor you need to change.
The script:
| <label style="width: 150px;"><br />Insert your tekst here:</label><br /> <textarea rows="15" id="text_12" title="" cols="60" name="text_12" onkeyup="wordcount(this.value)"></textarea> <script type=""text/javascript""> var cnt; function wordcount(count) { var words = count.split(/\s/); cnt = words.length; var ele = document.getElementById('w_count'); ele.value = cnt; var pri = document.getElementById('price'); pri.value = cnt*5; } document.write("<input type=hidden id=w_count size=14 readonly>"); document.write("<input type=text id=price size=14 readonly>"); </script> DKK incl. tax for your translation. |
Update your CMS site on-the-go
Here at ennovation we have now tested and implemented new functionality in all our web solutions. All services are turning towards mobility and the "cloud" phenomenon, and to accomodate this developing trend we see it fit that users should be able to update their content on the go.
The popular iPhone has a great little application available for download through the iTunes store called the "Joomla Admin Mobile" which provides a great interface for editing content which has not been possible through the Safari browser. After having downloaded and installed the application on your phone then you need to get a hold of the extension for your CMS site that facilitates communication between your CMS site and your mobile device.
So what are the advantages of being able to update on-the-go? Personally, I feel that being able to make rapid changes and having the correct information displayed is key to having a trustworthy website - this little tool enables you to do that. One can rightfully question whether or not it becomes too much with yet another device and way of updating a site - however it is simply just another option for users to help them maintain their sites.
How much should you spend on going mobile? The small application will set you back 10 USD, and the small extension can be downloaded for free from CMS Market. Your webdeveloper will need to spend some time on setting it up to meet your exact needs, which could mean that the current site needs small adjustments.
If you have any questions on updating your CMS site on-the-go then feel free to contact us.
