TopBox
This project to build a modal window effect for RapidWeaver has been on and off for the past several months. Various hurdles have been jumped to overcome browser compatibility issues and limitations in the Stacks API which made things difficult. Stacks is in the process of being updated, and some of these new changes have been of huge help to getting TopBox finished. Stacks 1.3 has also enabled some fantastic new features to be added to TopBox and create a plugin which offers improved compatibility. It is now at the stage where a demo site for TopBox is starting to come together: www.themeflood.com/topbox.php
This project has started to attract some very positive feedback. The plan now is to get the Stack version completed and launched to coincide with the release of Stacks 1.3. Because RapidAlbum has not been updated for a while now, the RapidAlbum Plugin is still under review.
It is unlikely TopBox will go into public Beta. Big strides have been made in the development of TopBox recently, so there probably would not be much gained in releasing test versions. I already have some volunteers ready to test TopBox and review the documentation. If anyone else is interested, please get in contact.
