It sounds like you want a way to create namespaces for plugins. There
isn't an "official" way, but I wrote a small function to create
namespaces that was discussed on a previous thread:
http://www.nabble.com/Re%3A-passing-this-p13540912s27240.html
Also, it looks like your functions jQuery.Photo.create are actually
meant to be plugins (i.e. they refer to 'this' as a jQuery object) so
they should not be part of the jQuery object itself. Just do
jQuery.fn.extend ({
photocreate: function(settings){
....
},
photocrop: function(...){
....
}
});
Or, if using my namespace plugin,
$.namespace ('photo', {
create: function(settings){
....
},
crop: function(...){
....
}
});
