Action Master
Action Master is a ‘proof of concept’ action that allows users to control other actions from one single action interface. If you’ve completed a site using an action and have set the action’s parameters up exactly to how you want them only to have the client change his mind then this action may just save the day. Simply attach the action to the home page of your site, select the action you wish to target, and then select the control you want to change. Both the existing value will be displayed as well as blank field for the new value. Click the ‘Replace’ button to update the values in all found actions.

Actions Interface Experiment
I have been thinking about alternative Acton interfaces. I’ve dabbled with alternative interfaces for actions in the past. These require building an AppleScript application in XCode which handles the interface, and using polling (AppleScript) code in the Action itself to track a field and detect a chance. The change indicates whether the OK button has been clicked, and data can be retrieved. This is a fairly neat way of achieving the result, but there are drawbacks. The big drawback is that the interface is an application, and the user has to run it before the Action can. This is because of security issues and is to do with AppleScripts calling AppleScripts.

Advance inline styles mover
Over the last few years I have been thinking about the inline styles that freeway produces and if there would be a way to moving these inline styles out of the html. The first thing that came along that started to address the issue was Weavers inline style actions plus Walters add selector and anonymous actions and recently Tim’s Externalise actions and Walters Classify all these actions are an absolute godsend but its a lot of individual actions and none of them address some issues which I needed to tackle on an everyday basis. Quite often I am ask to produce by our other members of the team (the asp.net gurus) to produce HTML pages that contains NO inline styles, the page must contain very few div id’s (ideally none) and for the styles to be on an external sheet.. oh and occasionally some of these divs need to have multiple classes. Now this is all possible with Freeway but it takes all of the above actions to do, it and it can be a bit of a nightmare when you have a massive form and you need to apply multiple actions to each item. plus one more thing.. actually getting to the secondary inline style which is produced for an image can be problematic… With all this in mind I started to look at the best way to combine the best of the above actions and try to add to the action where they were deficient so…..
