  1. I've been having such weird problems lately For instance, I'm using Chromium to view / write this post and when I click on the links I have provided, I get a "404" error But when I look at it through my windows phone or in a firefox browser on this same computer, the site works... what the hell is that about? "Have you cleared your cookies" Common question I've been asked Also I can't login to my server through Firefox, but I can through Chromium... I don't know...
  2. Hello Psycho, Thank you for your interest. This is the website right now, I didn't want to make it public yet because it is nowhere near complete and aside from that my concern was crawling but I figure that's okay, once I complete it I will start to advertise it and then the searches from there on will bring my rank up. That's a thought anyway, based on what ? And besides, adding a .htaccess caused a 500 Internal Server Error... not sure what happened, it worked as far as logging me in but then that happened and when I deleted the .htaccess file, the 500 problem went away. http://www.dn2d8.com The problem we're discussing is having photos scroll with variable number of photos, and each one has a unique linking address to a profile. There is also another feature involving mouse hover but I won't discuss that. What I'm showing you isn't that valuable so I'm not that concerned. These aren't the key aspects of the site that separate it from everything else that currently exist. When I do have it complete, it will be beautiful. Or at least a nice addition to my "resume" as a non-degree, software developer. Anyway, this was my initial response to you but when I was pulling up the YouTube video link, my computer froze. Upgrading to Linux Mint 17 was a bad idea it turns out, 15 was great. But those distros don't exist anymore on the Linux website. This is pretty uhh... revealing and kills my professional image if I even have one but it is the truth and what is on my mind, makes me "unique" or a nut case http://www.dn2d8.com/rambling.txt it isn't formatted, eg. line breaks and what not so it will be miserable to read but it's probably best that I don't even post it (why are you?) My mind is spent right now, you reach that point of exhaustion where you can't really be productive but you are awake The website is a horrid mess right now, slide it into the left or right of your screen and see it really fall apart. I'm aware of scaling and responsive web design and such, I haven't gotten there yet and the format of the site / what it is supposed to do... it's interesting how I will handle mobile devices. I have to redesign it differently for mobile devices but I'm going to get everything working for computers first then after that, once I know the exact pieces and specific pages / functions, it should be easy to design an optimal web version.
  3. "allow to be cached" how do they decide? I thought that's automatic Site's average page size... what if the content varies eg. content is pumped into the same web page without refreshing, just have a figure of the website and then what is being pumped in? "Chrome will tell you how much data was transferred as part of a page load in it's developer tools on the Network tab" this is interesting ha The other question is, will anyone actually use my website? I have briefly tried advertising to facebook, I think that is one of my major plays but it is insane! I can see how they are a money pit, or I assume they are I mean one click, ONE, to my website, is a whopping $0.42 hell advertising for Google Adsense, I get paid in ****, literally, I just hold out my hand and they squeeze some out for me It's like $0.0001 per view on my end, but their gain is probably at least triple of that if not more #capitalism Have to be the bigger and better rat Thank you very much for your thorough explanation
  4. Not sure if this is the correct subsection, I CTRL + F'd the first page and didn't see FTP I'm interested in backing up data, I'm building a social media type website and I need to back up data. I don't have a lot of money at the moment so I would like to back up to my own computer/external hard drive... doesn't seem smart I guess but it is a solution for now I currently use linux / have apache on my local machine but on my hosting service provider they use Apache as well Their backup options seem "word for dumb" and I can't have that, imagine how much data would be lost if it didn't back up within minutes rather than 10 days or some stupid figure like that... I mean... maybe I'm missing something, how else would it be done? I expect the site to have life pretty much at every passing moment of time and if the site goes down for even 5 minutes... how many megabytes of data or more did I just lose? Anyway, my laptop/external hard drive seems dumb but it is relative to my situation as I am currently testing out my ventures with a shared VPS (as in 3 different domains pointing to that website) and the space I have is 90 GB, between my external hard drive and laptop I have more than that. I suppose I should "trust" in the professionalism of my service provider but the fact that their back up system is literally like every 10 days and I have to pay $150 to retrieve my data... I don't even understand the pricing on that... what is the difference if they backed up terabytes as opposed to petabytes, is it still the same $150.00? Anyway, I'd appreciate any help, or I'll just search elsewhere later on when this topic becomes relevant again (hmm I don't present myself well I realize that)
  5. I see this code here which seems applicable but I don't think it will work, you can switch in and out of php and html which is the premise of what I want Or at least, vary a line of HTML code based on php output But even with that being said, the CSS reads from a fixed line once right? Maybe Jquery / Javascript is the way to go... <?php if ()){ ?> html <?php } else { ? > html <?php } ?>
  6. Oh yeah about the .htaccess / .htpasswd, I got it to work, I think the problem was either directory location or the ASCII At any rate, I created the files directly in CPanel and placed them into the directories manually by typing the directory locations
  7. Ugghh I'm already regretting this, just reading the installation instruction of php for linux, I had a hell of a time installing apache, it would fail and literally say stuff like "Sanity check failed" which made me wonder "Is that a joke?" I have seen signs that the developers of linux had a sense of humor for instance "Who am I?" Anyway, I think would rather do the online method but my IP address is "not clean" apparently as I always have problems accessing WHM due to my IP address being blacklisted and seeing as it is dynamic, even if the hosting service provider whitelists my IP address, within a few minutes or so, I am once again blocked.. this is another dumb issue I am facing.. I don't even torrent man I don't know how we have a "dirty" IP address although I share the router and the IP address may have been transferred to us from a previous user, I don't know if that is how it works
  8. I read your paragraph a few times, still don't completely understand what you said. "fake" sounds bad, placeholder sounds better Most fields will be empty I'm going to get back to this with more knowledge, Thank you for your response
  9. thank you very much for the link
  10. Thank you very much, I am starting to work on the php aspect as this is a huge part of the website I'm working on. I need to figure out these key components : data input, data storage, program input parameter specification, creating accounts / maintaining file association I'm installing right now on Linux, I'm trying to see if I can get away with using the built in software installer as opposed to running something like sudo apt-get on terminal or downloading tar.gz files and extracting/installing through terminal... this is such a pain, I really enjoy double-click .exe files Anyway thank you for your thorough response, I think I'm going to try and work locally as the website html/css files are locally based at the oment
  11. I just don't get it, I mean I believe I know it is possible The HTML section is fixed isn't it? Once it is loaded? So how can you change what is going to be read by the CSS animation which even that may already be fixed after the page has loaded, it's just a matter of "executing" the animation. Although I thought about using smaller webpages within the main page and refresh those small pages... or ajax/aspx.net I thought I read into this before and those keywords came to mind. Perhaps I will have to go with Javascript and jQuery and perhaps it is not that difficult. Just one thing at a time. I still have dumb problems with resizing, I have to design for two different screens (landscape and portrait) just because of how the information is presented, size is a factor. not related but I can use @media screen but I think I would rather just redirect with a basic test of the screen resolution / orientation which the orientation part is not a sure thing either because I would rather have the items rotate than resize, or resize and rotate.
  12. That's not what I am looking for, I looked at their demo I'm somewhat trying to avoidu sing Javascript / jQuery, I almost have the effect that I want with CSS animation I don't have anything against those two (languages? or one is a language the other is a library?) I'm pressed for time really. The content has to be variable and these have different factors that determine the importance of content loaded and shown
  13. I don't have a lot of money and I'm launching a high traffic website, I intend to have a payment system linked to hosting service I am using so that in the event that my website is actually successful, it can expand accordingly. I want to know ahead of time about bandwith usage, I have a 3TB limit per month which may seem like a lot but what if thousands of users are accessing/using files that are between 2 to 10 MB each? Uploading, viewing, scrolling, text... This calculation also applies to storage I haven't really given this much thought, I'm just curious, I have a lot to do and I would like to start amassing information ahead of time Thank you for any help
  14. I am new to using animation and I want to have some photos scroll I have it working, I just want to know what the percentages are based on and perhaps knowing that I can absolutely design a website rather than being vague. Another side question is the method that the images are loaded... I'm wondering if it is possible to load one image at a time while having a seamless animation, even using infinite. I don't want to load a bunch of pictures at once or string photos together and string them to make one large image to be scrolled... I need the animation to stop when hovering over any photo and also for each of those photos to link to a unique location. I've got the linking done but the stopping eludes me... I can achieve it if I animate photos individually and maybe I will have to follow that route for now which this is based on the lifetime of the photo eg. screen space. Thanks for any help
  15. I am using a photo scrolling css animation technique I'm not sure as far as CPU usage (on server)/(on client) and bandwith usage if loading one picture at a time to scroll versus having a line up "pre-exist" which even then, I would only have five images at a time but what if that is multiplied by 10000 users Anyway, the current knowledge I have, I have a css animation property that takes in a photo and animates from 0% to 100% keyframe based on margins to make the scrolling happen In the HTML section there is a list of photos, I would like there to be one line of code that is like a receiver that takes in or reads in arbitrary photo locations and puts that next to be scrolled without interrupting the main animation sequence which I'm not sure if there would be interruption. Anyway I don't know if that is possible. If someone can point out that this idea is obviously flawed then that would be great. This isn't my ultimate solution, I have yet to see others, I'm just trying to minimize loading and lag The other problem I have that is interesting is that I want the scrolling to stop when a person hovers over an image, and then resume... I have gotten this to work but only on one image... this is probably a matter of listing out all the key parts of the problem and seeing the solution but When I had a list of photos that were scrolling together, I could get the whole animation to stop when hovering over the first photo and then take me somewhere (all the photos have working href's) but the animation would not stop if I hovered over any photos after the first. The animation would keep going So I tried to animate each picture independently and that was just a cluster **** Still working on that If someone could point me in the right direction on the main problem of reading in photos live to work with css animation, that would be great.
  16. Ooh lots of reading to do alright, thank you very much for this link. I just created 24 blank profiles and I feel insane... can't do this repetition by hand So... Definitely need to get this working Thanks again
  17. Hello, I want to know first, how to start new pages or small windows Next, how to temporarily store data and then delete upon exit of chat so that memory can be saved How to embed objects like images (objects?) How to have resizable or set the size of input field for the message Show a sign like "person is typing" when other person is inputting data I'll probably get yelled at, I'm trying to amass all the information I need I'll research each subject as I accomplish a task Right now I could really use a download script that saves a photo, gets url of photo and searches the document for "By Name" and cuts out / stores the Name part and then renames the file with an increment of one, instead I have to do 300 clicks with my mouse. = ineptitude or ignorance That is theoretically the ideal case but I have to sift through photos, see which ones are good eg. face is covered by watermark Thanks for any help
  18. Hello, I'm working on a project that requires me to have stock / fake demo files that will be replaced with real files provided by users... I need something to take space and then when people actually start using the site and inputting data, then I can replace each file with new, unique files. I have some idea of how this would work. I would need incremented or non-matching identifiers and then a script that probably works on an if statement like If new data, take first list of data, delete, replace with new data. Something like that.
  19. Hello, I'm embarking on a pretty ambitious task and I need some bits of information here and there. One of the functions I need to achieve is to build a query or array of photos based on a background image and user input. So imagine that I have a box and within that box is a column of three rows. I need to have three different bits of data be placed into each of the subsequent rows and then an image is taken of these three pieces of data overlaying the background photo. Then stored somewhere with an incremented identifier to be pulled later. I think I can already begin to imagine how it would work but what eludes me is a "screenshot" function to generate the images. I'm looking for .png or .jpg end result files with fixed width/height and item placement. Thank you for any help
  20. Hello, I hope I picked the right category. I have an interesting situation. I'm building a website and I want to have the ability to work on it / prototype it without having the website accessible to the public. Currently it's not accessible because I placed a .htaccess file into my server but I think it didn't work correctly because I can't actually log in. That's not the main problem, I think the problem is that it's not ASCII but UTF-8. Been trying to figure out how to convert that. I'm not sure if I even need web but I figure if I'm going to test it, which one of the things I have to test is capturing video with my phone then storing it to my server then retrieving it again. The capturing should be easy through HTML5 from what I've read. I have access to php and sql. I just don't know if I need internet access. I don't know how to store locally. Most php scripts don't even seem to mention a storage location. I have set up sql databases that used php to gather information. It's just not fresh in the mind at the moment. I mean it had to work right? I mean I get the pop up that says "Authentication Required" which wasn't there until I uploaded the .htaccess file, which how can the .htpasswd file not be read if the .htaccess file is being read. I think it is in the right folder... anyway, maybe I don't need the web to prototype my website Except for the phone part, I would like to see that the phone's camera UI and camcorder UI is easily accessed by one button Any help would be appreciated
  21. So I am working on a site which take's people's YouTube links and automatically embeds them into the website. The site's purpose isn't the playback of the videos rather the video thumbnail itself. I'm not saying that the site does not use the <iframe> tag to embed the video but it doesn't matter if the videos do play or not depending on things like Vevo or UMG rights etc... My problem is, I don't know how to take a full youtube url that a person enters and place it within a container that is an iframe, the url of course goes into the src=" " field. I found something that supposedly does this but I don't know how to apply it. I don't know how to take the link which comes in from a form and then before storing it into the database, apply a function to it to modify the string (add the container) The guy who wrote the code below said something easy yet I don't understand it... "all you have to do is parse the string then call the function" Can someone first answer, is this code actually doing what I want to do or do I misunderstand it? My understanding is, once a link is somehow accessed by the function autolink($string), it then first fixes the link to be sure it is proper, then if it is proper ($match), it is placed within the <iframe> container which happens to be an embed object. Please ignore my syntax so how do I take that string url link entered by the user on the form, then modify it, store it and retrieve to be displayed in an iframe? If you want to see what exactly I am doing, this is the site I am trying to make it on. You can see my other entries already which are just tests, I will empty the database once I get this thing running. It seems so simple but my ignorance hinders my progress. http://jchive.com/comments.html Thanks for any help. This is the link where the code came from : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/412467/how-to-embed-youtube-videos-in-php because it isn't the only code on the site, I will post the code: echo '<div id="chat_message">'.autolink($string).'</div>'; /****************Function to include****************/ <?php function autolink($string){ // force http: on www. $string = str_ireplace( "www.", "http://www.", $string ); // eliminate duplicates after force $string = str_ireplace( "http://http://www.", "http://www.", $string ); $string = str_ireplace( "https://http://www.", "https://www.", $string ); // The Regular Expression filter $reg_exUrl = "/(http|https|ftp|ftps)\:\/\/[a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,3}(\/\S*)?/"; // Check if there is a url in the text $m = preg_match_all($reg_exUrl, $string, $match); if ($m) { $links=$match[0]; for ($j=0;$j<$m;$j++) { if(substr($links[$j], 0, 18) == 'http://www.youtube'){ $string=str_replace($links[$j],'<a href="'.$links[$j].'" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">'.$links[$j].'</a>',$string).'<br /><iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="320" height="185" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/'.substr($links[$j], -11).'" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen></iframe><br />'; }else{ $string=str_replace($links[$j],'<a href="'.$links[$j].'" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">'.$links[$j].'</a>',$string); } } } return ($string); } ?>
