| // This piece of code illustrates how you can build a series of jQuery plugins | |
| // nested on your own desired namespace. So if you have a plugin named 'plugin', | |
| // it can have the signature: | |
| // $(selector).plugin(opts) | |
| // and there can exist jQuery plugins 'module1', 'module2', 'module3', ... which | |
| // have the signatures: | |
| // $(selector).plugin().module1(opts) | |
| // $(selector).plugin().module2(opts) | |
| // $(selector).plugin().module3(opts) | |
| // These modules are written almost exactly like normal jQuery plugins bound |

GetSimple tutorial for creating a news system with the i18n plugin(s).
Content Management Systems (CMSs) are pretty self-explanatory: they are dynamic ways of maintaining, displaying and publishing content, and they seek to be intuitive, feature-rich and easy to use. One such a system is GetSimple, a CMS with a tiny zip file-size, and an expansive array of useful plugins to enhance its utility.
Now if you have a site that isn't made up of purely static web-pages, you are going to want to show your visitors flag-points of when certain content was produced or published, and the best way that most CMSs do this is with 'blogging' or 'news publishing' software. There are a number of such plugins available on GetSimple's Plugins Repository, but from what I have tested thus far, long-time plugin developer Mvlcek has produced one of the most extensive and useful plugins for achieving this to date. However some may find it a little difficult to get around, because it is primarily a Search Engine Plugin for allowing visitors to easily search the pages of your si

GetSimple tutorial for creating a news system with the i18n plugin(s) (version 2)
If you have a website, chances are that you'll be updating it at some stage. From minuscule punctuation corrections to changing the banner, it's good to keep your viewers up to scratch on the development of your site. Visitors like to know that they were a part of (or at least informed of) the growth of an entity. Blogs are specifically engineered to be as user-friendly and intuitive as possible when it comes to posting updates, but they aren't necessarily the most potent way to achieve this. As noted in the previous version of this article, other Content Management Systems (of which blogs are a variety) provide much more options with regards to the layout of your site, the displaying of content and the organisation of pages. One such CMS is GetSimple, and plugin developer mvlcek has recently updated his i18n Search plugin to become an incredibly useful and powerful news system.
Reading this, I'm assuming that you know what GetSimple is, as well as how to insta

GetSimple tutorial on providing random search results for i18n search.
Ever wanted to have random items put into the search results pulled from I18N Search?
It's actually not that difficult. The technique hinges on the return_i18n_search_results function, specifically designed for doing custom results rendering.
We call the function with the desired paramters to get the results. To ensure a properly random selection, we'll set the maximum number of results to a high number (e.g. 999).
$search = return_i18n_search_results($tags, $words, 0, 999, $order, $lang);

GetSimple tutorial for archiving pages (in news/blogging fashion) with i18n.
One feature that I thought was missing from the i18n News system is that of providing automatic archives for news results. However, such a feat is actually achievable with the current i18n Search plugin if you take a moment to think outside of the box...
Tags are the lifeblood of i18n Search. They are the key to filtering out your results to output exactly the kind of content that you are looking for and ordering them in a sensible way. Initially, tags were simply there as key-words to be involved in the “meta” information of the page – words that would help your site/page be indexed by search engines and found by users. With i18n Search however, these tags can be used to set up virtual categories and a filtering system, provided that you can maintain some kind of logical structure and consistency with the tags that you utilise.
