  1. Your question doesn't really make any sense. You want to style an empty page? You add your link in the head of your document, just like you would with an html page.
  2. Sure, add some styles in you Cascading Style Sheet.
  3. Thanks, I think I'll look over some examples and try to determine which one looks easier and go from there. I don't need anything very complex, but in my brief reading it did look like you have to punch in coordinates.
  4. I've never had the need to generate pdfs from php until now. I've come across fpdf and tcpdf. I just wanted to know if anyone here has experience with either and which is better in your opinion. Pros/Cons.
  5. Thanks John, that's a hell of a query. Points me in the right direction.
  6. There are too many variables. Complexity of website, type of client, length of job. I've done both fixed rate and hourly billing, but I think you'll have to figure out what hourly rate you would like to work at if you worked a normal 9-5 and use that as a starting point to what you should be billing. It also really depends on your skillset and ability to produce quality work.
  7. I've generally found that small startup mom and pop type business just have no idea what is going on and really have no budget. That is at least the case around where I live. I've had a lot of potential clients over the years freak out over a $1000 quote, which is for a pretty basic website with no advanced features. My best experiences are working with other developers and some educational institutions.
  8. I actually started laughing out loud on that one. I hate people!
  9. I would suggest you make an attempt to put in a little effort, otherwise you should probably visit the freelance section and pay someone to create it for you.
  10. Are you asking someone to create the layout for you?
  11. Do you already have some css defined for lists other than this one? Seems as though you may be inheriting some properties.
  12. I probably should have worded better what I'm after. I do want a good idea about data design, but let's say for example I did something like this: TABLE: EVENTS id event_start [date] event_end [date] recurrence [enum] {once, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly} title [varchar] description [varchar] The only things I'm concerned about are the dates. Floating events can be queried pretty easily by the start/end dates, but how would you really be querying recurrence? The calendar itself is basically created by a loop and on each day I would check if an event(s) exist and display it. I'm really looking for a little logic on how this would work best.
  13. My clue of the day will be to look at tbody that you are generating from your loop.
  14. Yes, they appear to be heading in the right direction.
  15. I think it looks pretty damn cool. Something nice to bring to meetings.
  16. He just showed you above a sample replace query. It does exactly that, replaces one string with another. In your case, stripping out the backslashes \
  17. I don't see how it would make a difference. PHP is just going to create the table data for you, which jquery would interpret the same as a table you created manually. You'd have to be more specific with exactly what you are doing to populate your table and how you are using the plugin.
  18. No, that query will give exactly the result the OP is looking for. Don't know where you came up with 10*8. There is no need for multiple queries or php to do the math.
  19. SELECT SUM(quantity * value) AS total from table;
  20. Pandora does the same thing. I found a bunch of new bands with this technique. Yea, but Pandora recently tried to hit me up with a paid subscription. I guess they limit you to 40hours month for free, which I can't understand because they have ads all over the place. I'm pretty upset by it, because I had a nice station created in pandora.
  21. Then you did not follow directions. You have to edit your path variable, not create a new one.
  22. You first need to have the cake console in your system path. To edit your path, you need to open System Properties. Depends on which version of windows you are running. Typically, right click My Computer and click properties. If you are vista or 7, you need to then click Advanced System settings. In System Properties, click the Advanced tab. Open "Environment Variables" and locate "Path". Edit the path to include the cake console directory. So you may have something like: ...;C:\cake\console If you have cake in your C:\cake directory, edit as necessary. You may have to reboot, test by opening the command prompt and typing cake bake. The easiest option is to navigate to your app directory and run cake bake, so you don't have to direct it to your app. That should really be all there is to it.
  23. I've created some pretty simple event calendars that output a monthly table and query the database for daily events. I'm looking to create a much more advanced calendar like you would find in a desktop app like outlook. I need recurring events and floating events and probably times because people will be submitting requests for schedules. I'm really just trying to wrap my head around the basic database design to handle the floating and recurring events. I don't to be limited to a weekly recurrence pattern. I would like options like daily, weekly, monthly, or maybe even biweekly, etc. How do you account for a recurring event that has no end date in the database? Maybe this is something easy to create, but I would like some direction on the database schema that would work best to help get me going in the right direction. Any thoughts or references on this would be very helpful.
