FREE Add-ins for EW4 by Ian Haynes
« on: August 31, 2010, 08:02:39 AM »
Some of the free add-ins for Expression Web 4 are offered by Ian Haynes a MVP for Expression Web. They include:
  • Copyright Notice Add-In for Expression Web V4  - This add-in creates a JavaScript based copyright notice that always updates to the current year and also creates a static notice, without the year, for the very small percentage of users that don't have JavaScript enabled.
  • Sub/Sup Text Add-in for Expression Web 4 - The add-in puts two new buttons on the "Standard" toolbar for <sub> and <sup> text..
  • Code Comment Add-In for Expression Web 4 - This add-in adds the comment CSS functionality and provides three new icons on the "Standard" toolbar
  • Close All' Add-In for Expression Web V4 allows you to close all open pages in EW with one click. It puts an icon on both the Standard and Common toolbars
  • Attach-JS - This add-in adds an item to the 'Insert' menu that allows you to automatically add a reference to a page for a JavaScript file. It lets you select the file and, if the file is outside the current web, copies it to the web when you've selected the file.
  • Insert a TwitterFeed - Want to display your own or someone elses TwitterFeed on your site?
    This add-in lets you do that, with configurable options.
  • 'Close All' Add-In for Expression Web V4 - Do you ever want to close all the open files in Expression Web before you start on a new page? This Add-In does it for you with one click.
You can read more about them from Expression Web Add-ins   by Ian Haynes or download them from Expression Web Add-ins

I've just updated two of the add-ins.

JS-Attach:

  • Now handles js files in sub folders of a site correctly
  • Adds the script reference inside the page <head> block rather than the cusror point.
  • Adds a closing </script> tag, rather than use a self closing tag, which gave unpredictable results in some browsers.

AddFeed

Replaces the TwitterFeed add-in and gives the option of adding a Twitter feed or an RSS feed.

Feedback on these is always welcome.

The Copyright Add-In has now been updated, so that it won't now overwrite any existing page content. The revised version is on the Gallery.

I've uploaded a new free add-in to the Gallery that lets you paste text from a Word document. It copies the text and the basic html structure, without the mass of Word html that you would normally get.

It's been tested in Word 2003, 2007 and 2010, with a variety of documents, but there will be some things I've not yet handled correctly, so please let me have any feedback via the link provided in the Add-In.
