How to install scriptaculous action?

Freeway
1

I have the action slave hide/show, but it does’nt offer me the effects etc options within the action as described in the below link?

See here:

http://www.softpress.com/products/scriptaculous.php

Do I have to place it in a directory of my site in order for it to work or can I just download it…?

Oh, do I just apply the protacolus action the the page, select scriptaculous and then select an effect from the library there?

Are you trying this in Freeway 4 or 5? Freeway 5 beta includes the
Scripty stuff, I don’t know if there is an equivalent version of the
Action for Freeway 4.

You can try my Protaculous Action if you want to hand-code some
effects, but at this point it’s very much a face only a JavaScript
programmer could love. It does include a nice Carousel
implementation, but the rest of it is just foundation for hand-coding
the effects you want to use in an unobtrusive way.

At this stage, if you are interested in Prototype/Scriptactulous, and
have one or more of the many fine code examples open in front of you,
Protaculous will help you with the following bits in Freeway:

  1. Including the libraries in your Freeway project so you can just
    get on with trying the cool stuff.
  2. Creating a single Unobtrusive Listener for the page load event,
    into which you can add additional listeners for specific events and
    elements on your page, like $('item1').observe('click',function(evt) {Event.element(evt).hide()});

I have lots of ideas for extending this Action, and Joe Billings (who
wrote the FW5 stuff) and Weaver (who wrote a far more advanced
MooTools wrapper Action) and I are planning to collaborate and make
this aspect of Freeway even more powerful and accessible.

If you really want to play with cool effects, and not Prototype/
Scriptactulous specifically, then run, don’t walk, to http://
www.coastalrugs.com/Actions and get the MooTools suite. It’s
supported, fully functional, includes many many effects, and is
generally great work by a great developer.

It’s also completely incompatible with Prototype et al. So there’s a
choice you need to make, at least until Weaver and Joe and I can get
things sorted and make Freeway a little more platform-agnostic.
