bxCarousel is an easy to use and customizable jQuery carousel plugin.

It allows specifying number of elements to display, number of elements to be slided and has optional prev-next controls.

It can work manually or with the “auto” mode where the duration between each item, speed and the direction of the transitions can be defined.

bxCarousel works as “infinite loop mode” where the items start to be displayed from the beginning once they are over.

Cached Commons is a repository of many JavaScript libraries that are cached, optimized and hosted on Github's CDN.

It is free for everyone and works by simply using the URLs mentioned (original or the minimized versions) as the script tag URLs.

Compared to the popular Google Libraries API, it hosts a much more number of libraries including many jQuery plugins, visualization or the ones for markup.

The only downside for now is that, there is only jQuery as a JS framework and hopefully, it'll start hosting others soon.

At WRD, the previous tweet button for sharing stories was the cool Easy Retweet Button by John Resig. However, it was not perfect as, sometimes, it was unable to communicate with the URL shortener service and the tweet links were appearing buggy.

In search for a better one, I tested few others including the official tweet button. They were loading the links ok but had other issues like “loading slow”, “blocking pages on load”, etc.

And, for a button that is clicked by -maybe- 1/100 of the visitors, loading the scripts and making requests for every visitor didn't look like the smartest choice.

Here is another method, that is actually used at WRD now which loads very fast for everyone and almost fault-proof.

How it works?

First of all, the button is hosted locally and it does not make any requests until it is clicked.

• A link with the querystring that includes URL and the title of the web page is created, pointed to a server-side file (to be presented later in this article) and attached to any custom button we design.
• Once clicked, it sends the URL and title to the server-side file which creates the tweet link and redirects to Twitter with the tweet.

Pros

• Does not load any scripts from other domains (faster).
• Does not perform anything until being clicked (faster).
• Works with multiple URL shortener services. Currently, it uses Bit.ly by default, during the shortening, if there is an error, it falls back to Tinyurl. And if there is an error again, it uses the default URL. (fault-proof).
• Counts the number of characters used and, if more than 140, reformats it. (fault-proof).
• Any tweet button that you design can be used or just a “tweet it ” text is enough (styleable).

Cons

• Does not display the number of retweets (as no requests are made on load).

The Code

It is built by PHP. You'll see that the code is simple and can be ported to any other scripting language quickly. Here it is:

 140) {
	$tweet = urlencode(substr($postTitle,0,140 - $restLength - $dotsMargin)) . urlencode('.. - ') . $shortenedURL . $viaText;
}
/* Prepare Tweet - END */

/* Redirect To Twitter - START */
header('Location: http://twitter.com/home?status=' . $tweet);
/* Redirect To Twitter - END */
?>

The Button

It is possible to use a button you designed. At WRD, the “Official Tweet Button” images are used thinking that they will be the standard soon. If you prefer to use it too, here is the HTML-CSS for it:

How To Install?

Here are the steps:

• Open tweet.php and edit the Bit.ly user-pass of yours (it is free to get one) and the “via” text in the beginning of the file.
• Upload the file anywhere under your website.
• Link to your tweet button image with &postTitle=ID)); ?>” target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow”>

Any thoughts to make it better?
