Yes, you can request a username change. There is a sticky in this forum for making requests.

Then delete my account, or just edit the code out in the reported threads. We don't delete accounts either. Again I would ask you to read the rules. But as a show of good will, I did edit out a url and some db info in one of your posts (we don't really have to do even that, btw). But yeah...we don't delete content...we are here to provide help and resource for others. It's anti-productive to go deleting stuff...especially stuff marked as solved...on that note...you really wanna repay the free help you got by asking for it to be removed? that doesn't sound very grateful...

p.s. - I see 2 entries in the "report to mod" section by you, both less than an hour ago (one of them was actually timestamped after this this thread...)...even if it were something we do, less than an hour by no means constitutes being ignored.

We do not remove posted content, please read the rules for further details.

this question has been asked a lot of times, please try searching the regex forum.

The non-regex approach: $string='http://maps.google.com/maps?q=46.055603,14.507732&num=1&t=m&z=12'; $parts = parse_url($string); parse_str($parts['query'],$params); $q = explode(',',$params['q']);

$data does not exist within your getText() function. You either need to pass it as an argument or declare it as a globally scoped variable within your function.

You just don't know how to use it right. I know, because I've watched you use it no i'm talking about the actual web developer addon, not the built-in web developer tools stuff. But yes I do readily admit I'm not pro at the built-in chrome developer tools quite yet...It wasn't all *that* long ago since I finally gave in to you bugging me about using chrome more!

main thing that keeps me using firefox is a couple of web analytics addons that make it easier to do my job, that are FF specific. Also, the chrome version of the web developer addon isn't as robust as FF's

Looks pretty impressive, could have come in handy for a few projects I've done in the past...

Meh, I still use Firefox 100%. Chrome is getting there, but the addons for Firefox just make it unbeatable. I'm in the same boat...I really wanna switch to Chrome but the addons keep me on FireFox

aaah I guess chrome doesn't have it. I did find it in FireFox...pretty cool

well i found the rightclick > inspect element but I seemed to have lost my "3d" ...

A "CMS Dashboard" is like any other web page in principle. The basic GA implementation is to slap some javascript on a page and it will report to GA a page view, along with some other "top level" stuff like what browser was used, etc... GA does provide custom coding options (populating certain GA object properties and/or calling certain object methods) that let you record events on a page. What those events are and how you choose to implement the code for it is up to you.

You can work yourself up to at least Guru membergroup status and be able to post tutorials yourself. Or you can submit to can submit the tutorial to us for review.

This thread is not meant to promote using frameworks instead of using core javascript for everything. That is just silly. Frameworks are not alternative languages, they are tools built on existing languages to make certain things easier. This thread is about using a framework for AJAX specifically.

What this board is for If you have some code you are wanting people to debug, or a website you are working on that you want people to 'beta test,' post the code/link here. The idea of this forum is that you have finished your code, and now you wish for people to test it for weak spots, logic problems, etc.. While you can of course expect feedback from your testers, if you need more help fixing your code, use the Help forums. This forum is for testing and testing feedback ONLY. This is NOT a "rate my script/site" forum. Please go to the critique forum for that. Try to give a good description of what your code is supposed to be doing. We can do little more than find syntax errors if we don't know what it's supposed to be doing. Your topic doesn't show? All new topics are moderated, meaning that they will not show up until a staff member approves it. Read the rules for posting in this forum and follow the directions. Some advice to be cautious Be very careful on what kind of info you post, especially when it comes to posting links to your site. Posts of this nature are often times aliases of "please try to hack my site and tell me if you do, and how, so I can fix it." We cannot and will not be held liable for any kind of damage or loss that results from you posting any of your stuff here (or anywhere else on the site, for that matter). Not everybody out there is honest. Someone out there may read your post, go to your script, find a security hole and exploit it without telling you, all the while giving you the thumbs up. Rules Regarding "Exploit Scanners" Use of exploit scanners can be an effective way to discover exploits on a website, so we have no intention of banning posting scanner results. But these scanners can also return bogus results. Secondly: Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. As of now, posting scanner results is only allowed under the following conditions: 1) You must share the name and how to get the scanner 2) You absolutely MUST explain every item in the result (why is this a risk, not just because the scanner says so) As with all forum rules, ignoring these could lead to moderation action. Ignorance of these rules is not a defense. Thank you for your cooperation.

...and you are NOT using a framework like jQuery or Prototype, think long and hard to come up with a very good reason why you are not! In all my years of coding, the only valid reason I have ever seen for not using one of these tools, is because someone is trying to learn it the old fashioned way (but not necessarily actually build websites with it). Or...someone is trying to build their own framework. That's it! IMO there has been no other reason worthy enough to warrant not using jQuery or the like! "It will bloat my website, increase page load time, blahblah" is not a good enough reason! These frameworks are compacted and browsers will cache them! So if you post an AJAX question here and your code and/or question does not involve the use of an existing framework like jQuery, then be prepared for you first response to be something along the lines of "Why aren't you using a framework?" Seriously. It is super easy. Way easier than that code you're trying to post. Save yourself the headache. Get jQuery or similar. DO IT.

Also, since we probably won't be jumping in individually welcoming every single person comes by, here's your generic welcome message: Greetings, ___________ ! Thank you for joining the board! Feel free to ask any question, but please don't be stupid about it. Make an effort to pick the right forum, make an effort to be detailed about your question, make an effort to read relevant stickies/rules, and we'll make an effort to help you. .CV

"level system" is pretty ambiguous... care to be more specific?

GENERAL RULES AND GUIDELINES FOR POSTING This forum is not meant to be a formal freelance service system. It is available for those who wish to seek out services or work from other people, as a courtesy to the members of the phpfreaks community. phpfreaks.com does not specialize in freelance services. This forum is an informal mechanism, as a courtesy to the community. We have no formal mechanism in place (like escrow) to guarantee payment, refund, work done, etc... phpfreaks.com shall not be held responsible for any losses you incur. we have never and continue to not act as any kind of mediator or verification/compensation source for people/organizations who use those forums. We will not be held responsible/liable for any damages, loss, etc. that occur from use of those forums. If you hire someone and they rip you off, don't come crying to us. If someone hires you and they rip you off, don't come crying to us. Those forums are a convenience. If you want something more official that offers guarantees, go to a real freelance site! If you have any questions regarding the freelance forum, feel free to ask them here. RULES: WHERE TO POST:If you want to offer your services, post in the Service Offerings sub-forum.If you want to offer a job or position of employment, post in the Job Offerings sub-forum. DO NOT post your 'resume' in job posting threads. You must directly contact the person you wish to reply to. The only reason replies are allowed is to ask for clarification/details about the job. Failure to adhere to this rule will result in all kinds of things, like you getting banned, or us disallowing replies. DO NOT make more than one thread offering your services. You can edit/reply to your thread to reflect additions/changes. DO NOT post advertisements to other sites offering freelance system services. For example, rentacoder.com, odesk.com, etc.. we have no partiality for or against those sites, but posts such as those are regarded as advertisement, which is against our main site rules. We fully acknowledge that this freelance system is limited, but we aren't here to provide free advertising for other places. If you prefer to do actual business through one of those sites, please specify in direct contacts with the person. You are allowed, as a freelancer or freelance company, to post a link to your personal portfolio/company to those sites, or a site that you own. But general promotions to those other sites are not allowed. GUIDELINES: When posting in the freelancing forum it's important that you provide a way for users to contact you. They will not be able to reply to your topics so they need a way to contact you privately. This can be using PMs, emails, any type of instant messaging service (MSN, Gtalk, AIM, Jabber, etc.) or however you see fit.The more specific you are about your skills, previous experience(s), availability, rates, etc.. the better your chances of getting serious inquiries. Posting vague "I'm available for anything and everything" might get more inquiries on average, but there's a good chance that it will come to nothing, based on any number of things that you could have posted here in the first place. Better to receive 10 emails from people who have some idea of your qualifications/terms, than 100 emails that don't.Be honest about your skills. All day long we see people posting about how they jumped on a job and bit off more than they could chew. They tell the client they can do everything they need and more, promise them the moon, and then promptly crap their pants about 5 minutes into it. Don't be that person! Some people get lucky and figure it out. Some people get lucky and get help that figures it out. Most people end up having to give up the project. Which leads us to....Wasting people's time and money. You waste the client's time. You waste your own time. That bad rep will more than likely come back to haunt you. All day long we get people trying to get us to delete their posts because they don't want their skeletons to come out of the closet (no we won't hide them for you). So be smart! Do the simplest easiest thing to avoid all this headache: be truthful about your skills. If you feel that being truthful will limit your potential clients, then get off your bum and hit the books. You can't seriously be in the business of trying to con people, are you?Be very clear about what you are doing. Some clients know your job, and are just looking for extra set of hands. Most do not, and therefore seek someone who does. Therefore, if you want to avoid headaches, it is your responsibility to be very clear about what it is you're going to do. What you're willing to do. What kind of support you offer after the fact, etc... on that note..Be up front and thorough about your prices. Take a look at the situation. Quote a price for it. Quote prices for things that might come up later. The more you have to go back later saying that xyz was unforseen or xyz wasn't part of the deal, regardless of whether or not you are in the right, the more you are going to come off as shady, to the client. It's like when you take your car to a mechanic and that funny noise goes from being one little $50 thing to a $2000 rebuild because the mechanic kept coming back to you saying something else is wrong. That stuff may indeed be needed, but the fact that you didn't think about it and let them know ahead of time speaks volumes about your skills as a coder. Some things just aren't foreseeable. Most things are.
