    Okay.  That is the same thing that DropFaith brought up.  I will be working on the <noscript></noscript> tags this week that will place those back on the website.

     

    I will probably test for JavaScript and if not found place the <noscript></noscript> tags in the header files.

    I will also have to run that through the GD image resizing I have as well to keep it consistent with an 800x600 resolution.

     

    Thanks

    Awesome Point.  I forgot all about the noscript tags.  The main header links utilize a combination of php gd and javascript to resize the images in order to resize the images and text based upon whether you look at the website in an 800x600 viewing.  This way it doesn't appear to go onto two lines.  The original design for this was because gd was supposed to make the images look good and not so choppy.  That wasn't the case.  GD still makes the images look choppy :(.

     

    The RSS Feeds are strictly javascript.  I am working on a RSS to HTML conversion script.  That will remove the JavaScripting from the RSS feeds which should take care of that issue.  However for the header I will need to add teh <noscript></noscript> tags without a doubt.

     

    Thanks for the invaluable feedback.

    I just learned something.  I was unaware that there was actually a way to run .htaccess without Apache.  However with that solution, it would require having a dedicated server and not being on a shared environment.  In a shared environment, such as the one we are in, we have no control over installing anything onto the server.

    What specific portion of it is coded badly; all of it?  I have not looked at it to be W3C compliant yet.  I was planning on doing that later.

     

    Can you get better search engine ranking than #1 or #2?

    Search Google for "Computer Repair Sarasota" which is the main keyword phrase at this time we are going for.

     

    OK, this is just my opinion, but I think you need a vertical menu, and stick with non-javascript.

     

    What you mean a vertical menu?  Do you mean instead of the drop down menu?

    If that's what you mean, that wouldn't happen.  I have massive feedback on the drop down menus we have from different clientele.  They all love it and tell us how easy it is to navigate.  And it is done in CSS search engine friendly fashion.

     

    I don't understand what "a stick with non-javascript" means?

    Can you please explain what this means?

     

    Do you still think we need more padding?

    I am not a big fan of padding on a lot of items because of cross browser compatibility; opera reads it differently than IE7 which reads it differently than FF.  With that said, which one needs more padding and why?

    You know what I find really nice.  The only thing that could be found was an overlap.  I actually rectified that overlap about a month ago but a couple of weeks ago, I was working at about 4:30am and screwed the whole website up because I was tired.  I had to go back to an old copy and that came back.  So I am glad it was just that.

     

    I am feeling good about myself that is all that could be found. :D

     

    Thank you everyone for taking a look at the website and writing back.  If anyone is interested in computer repair advice by all means stop into our forum at any time.

     

    Thanks again.

    I very much appreciate the rewriterule however that would only work if I was on a Linux Server.  I am on a Windows Server.  Rewrites will not function because it does not recognize the .htaccess file.

     

    Overlap Issue

    I have resolved this issue.  I don't mind that the two bottom parts do not line up exactly.  With different resolutions and with a fluid layout that would be next to impossible.  I have the top lined up which is all I care about.

     

    Title Tags

    I will look into hiding those with JavaScript however if they stop the functionality of them I cannot hide them.  We have visually impaired people that contact us quite often.

    I see the overlap.  I have been working on finding out what is causing that for over 2 hours now.  I know what line is causing it however I cannot pinpoint exactly what command is causing that to happen.  I am still working on it.  If anyone has any ideas that would be fantastic.

    I am downloading Safari, FF and Opera to this computer now.

     

    Title Tags

    I have those there for visually impaired people so that their equipment will work properly for navigation.  How do I hide them with JavaScript?

    Will that equipment still function properly if I am hiding them with JavaScript?

     

    Thanks,

    I will download firefox to this computer and look and repair that.

     

    Ahhh yes, the calendar.  I am aware of that.  This is web calendar from sourceforge.net.  I didn't program the calendar however the reason that is to answer your question:

    The default setting to the calendar is monthly view.  I want to show the weekly view.  It has to redirect you to a weekly view and it shows you that it is redirecting.  The only thing that I can do about that is hack the code or the database and remove the sentence (ore replace it) so it is not so confusing.

     

    Thanks,

    skunkbad: Adjust the padding to what on the main text? On the main page?  All pages throughout with the exception of the forum use the same CSS.

    What specific pages?  Copy and Paste URL's please.

    What browser were you using?

    What operating system?

    What resolution?

     

    rarebit:

    Bottom Menu overlaps the right-hand column.

    ? no logo ?

    ! it didn't excite...

     

    I am not sure what you mean.  Can you give me more details?

    What specific pages?  (Especially the bottom menu overlapping because I don't see that at all) Copy and Paste URL's please.

    What browser were you using?

    What operating system?

    What resolution?

    Which page did not have a logo.  They all use a common header and have a logo at the top?  Can you give me a URL and specific details please.

    It didn't excite.  I am not sure what you mean?  Meaning that it is not flashy, up to todays standards?  What specific pages?  This is for our clientele and is supposed to be more user-friendly than exciting.

    All in all if that is ALL that is wrong, I feel pretty damn good about myself... :D

    That code works great although even with image resampling it still distorts the image.  That's kind of a horrible thing.  I was hoping that it was going to be smooth like I was reading.

     

    If I wanted to increase the size of the image because of different width size should I change that if else to a case statement?

    I didn't see the code below.  I will try this code when I get back to the house tonight.

    I will post positive or negative results tonight when I have a chance.

     

    Thanks,

     

    Wayne

     

    ok...i'm back...let's see if i try to put my thoughts aside and just help you get your code working :)

     

    first...i don't see the resize code any more?

    second...you can't say 1=1, if anything you need to say 1 == 1

     

    try this code out:

    <?php

$imgp = $_GET["imgpath"]; // The image pathway returned from JavaScript. (ie. images/)
$width = $_GET["width"]; // The users screen width returned from JavaScript? (ie 800)
$imgn = $_GET["imgname"]; // The image name returned from JavaScript. (ie scrfix-logo.png)
$ext = substr($imgn, strrpos($imgn, '.') + 1); // Find the extension from the image name (ie jpg)
$file = $imgp . $imgn; // Combine the pathway and the image name together (ie images/scrfix-logo.png)

header("Content-Type: image/{$ext}");

function resize_image ( $source, $browser_width ) {
  if(!$source) return false;
  if(!$browser_width || $browser_width > 800) return $source;
  $width = imagesx($source);
  $height = imagesy($source);
  $newwidth = $width * 0.5;
  $newheight = $height * 0.5;
  $resize = imagecreatetruecolor($newwidth, $newheight);
  imagecopyresized($resize, $source, 0, 0, 0, 0, $newwidth, $newheight, $width, $height);
  return $resize;
}

# Open the image
switch($ext) {
  case "png":
    $im = @imagecreatefrompng($file);
    $image = resize_image($im,$width);
    if(!$image) break;
    imagepng($image);
    break;
  case "jpg":  
  case "jpeg":  
    $im = imagecreatefromjpeg($file);
    $image = resize_image($im,$width);
    if(!$image) break;
    imagejpeg($image);
    break;
  case "gif":

    $im = @imagecreatefromgd($file);
    $image = resize_image($im,$width);
    if(!$image) break;
    imagegd($image);
    break;
  case "gd2":
    $im = @imagecreatefromgd2($file);
    $image = resize_image($im,$width);
    if(!$image) break;
    imagegd2($image);
    break;
  case "wbmp":
    $im = @imagecreatefromwbmp($file);
    $image = resize_image($im,$width);

if(!$img || !$image){
  // Try and load from string:
  if($im = @imagecreatefromstring(file_get_contents($file))){
    if($image = resize_image($im,$width)){
      header("Content-Type: image/jpeg");
      imagejpeg($image);
    }
  }
}
// Destroy

    I removed the resample code out of there in an attempt to get the If and else statements to work.

     

    Thanks for the tip on the ==.  I am curious as to why that is.  My other programming languages you can utilize either = means is equal to and == means equates to.  What's the difference in PHP.

     

    Even if the IF statment was wrong the Else statement should have shown the image the way that I have it written.  It still doesn't show up.

     

    I have the choice between the following code

    list($width, $height) = getimagesize($image);
$new_width = $width * $percent;
$new_height = $height * $percent;

// Resample
$image_p = imagecreatetruecolor($new_width, $new_height);

imagecopyresampled($image_p, $image, 0, 0, 0, 0, $new_width, $new_height, $width, $height);

     

    Or another one that someone else wrote that is faster.

    <?
  // Plug-and-Play fastimagecopyresampled function replaces much slower imagecopyresampled.
  // Just include this function and change all "imagecopyresampled" references to "fastimagecopyresampled".
  // Typically from 30 to 60 times faster when reducing high resolution images down to thumbnail size using the default quality setting.
  // Author: Tim Eckel - Date: 09/07/07 - Version: 1.1 - Project: FreeRingers.net - Freely distributable - These comments must remain.
  //
  // Optional "quality" parameter (defaults is 3). Fractional values are allowed, for example 1.5. Must be greater than zero.
  // Between 0 and 1 = Fast, but mosaic results, closer to 0 increases the mosaic effect.
  // 1 = Up to 350 times faster. Poor results, looks very similar to imagecopyresized.
  // 2 = Up to 95 times faster.  Images appear a little sharp, some prefer this over a quality of 3.
  // 3 = Up to 60 times faster.  Will give high quality smooth results very close to imagecopyresampled, just faster.
  // 4 = Up to 25 times faster.  Almost identical to imagecopyresampled for most images.
  // 5 = No speedup. Just uses imagecopyresampled, no advantage over imagecopyresampled.

function fastimagecopyresampled (&$dst_image, $src_image, $dst_x, $dst_y, $src_x, $src_y, $dst_w, $dst_h, $src_w, $src_h, $quality = 3) {
  if (empty($src_image) || empty($dst_image) || $quality <= 0) { return false; }
  if ($quality < 5 && (($dst_w * $quality) < $src_w || ($dst_h * $quality) < $src_h)) {
    $temp = imagecreatetruecolor ($dst_w * $quality + 1, $dst_h * $quality + 1);
    imagecopyresized ($temp, $src_image, 0, 0, $src_x, $src_y, $dst_w * $quality + 1, $dst_h * $quality + 1, $src_w, $src_h);
    imagecopyresampled ($dst_image, $temp, $dst_x, $dst_y, 0, 0, $dst_w, $dst_h, $dst_w * $quality, $dst_h * $quality);
    imagedestroy ($temp);
  } else imagecopyresampled ($dst_image, $src_image, $dst_x, $dst_y, $src_x, $src_y, $dst_w, $dst_h, $src_w, $src_h);

    Just trying to bring this thread back to the top to see if I can still get help performing this task.

     

    I am at a little loss here.  I have code that works and then when I introduce an if/else statement the same code doesn't work.

    Good PHP Code

    All I did was say is if 1=1 then do the same thing and the images don't show up??

    IP Tracking Alternatives

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    The answer to that is no.  NAT translation within IP Routing devices prevents it.  As your IP packet gets deconstructed within the routers the MAC address gets changed out with that devices MAC address so by the time your IP packet gets to the destination the MAC address has changed multiple times.

     

    An alternative is to place a cookie on their computer and look for the cookie, place a temp file on their computer and look for a temp file, use database or file cached saved PHP sessions.

    GD Image Resizing Help Request

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    I thought about that too however there is other reasons as why I want the GD.  If I only wanted to reduce the images by 800 than that would work however later on I want to increase them as well based upon the resolution of the user's computer.  I don't want to have to create separate images every single time I want to add or subtract or change out header images.  This is why I am doing it through GD.

    PHP Code

    <?php
$phpvarname = $_GET["varname"]; // The image pathway returned from JavaScript. (ie. images/)

?>

    implementing a website search feature using php

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    Unless you want the experience or the satisfaction that you made this, why remake the wheel.  There are a million search scripts out there that can be modified open source.  I use sphider from sourceforge and it does a nice job.  There is even an updated version of sphider as well.

    Now, I will say this.  The zip file from their website was corrupted and would not allow me to pull their files out. I had repair their zip file with WinRar to pull their files out.  Once I got the files, everything was fantastic however.

     

    Check out the website: Spectacular Computer Repair

     

    Go to the website and search for computer.

    GD Image Resizing Help Request

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    Take a look at the main site.  There are still plenty of people out there with an 800x600 resolution.  I set computers up every day and people request that.  Those exact people are our target market as well as the techies.

    When you resize your page to below 800 width, the header images at the top go to 2 lines.  This distorts the page.  I don't want that.  I want the images to resize based upon their current screen width.

     

    Most of our target market will not have JavaScript turned off.  Some of the techies might however this header resize is not for them.  They will be able to work around it.  This resizing is for the people that will get confused by it.

     

    If there is a better way to do this to resolve two issues, I am all eyes :D.  Can you provide an example what you were speaking about with the CSS?

     

    Issues to be resolved

    1. When people have their screen width below or = to 800 and

    2. When people resize their browser window, the images automatically adjust to compensate.

     

    The only way I know to do this is through JavaScript and/or PHP.
