ah okay, do you know any examples? don't really use wordpress or read anysites with wordpress... I'm no star at designing though got to say.. better at the programming side so do struggle to come with a unique looking design. Do see what your saying though, does look little too structured for a so called web designer... Shall keep working on it... Cheers, Adam..

It's good. Design is nice and clean... I'd think up a few more ideas though, like being able to setup direct debits and other bills, perhaps add interest rates and that? You could maybe try something with email alerts too? As its only a practise site I wouldnt go to town but will teach you a thing or two trying something like that... personally i'd need to have a think about how I'd go about doing it so, would be good experience! Adam

Good start but im not keen... Lacks a bit of everything... I think the design needs a lot more work, its too simple and bare. Not sure what relevance the ocean pic has? Probably worth adding more 'complex scripting' if thats what your selling, mainly a contact form rather than a mailto link? Overall I do think it needs a fair bit more work before it's going to sell your services... Adam

haha. rushing too much... www.adamswork.net

Hello all. This websites still a work in progress but the design is pretty much done. The website is my portfolio that I'm going to give people as pretty much like a reference of my work... Would be grateful if people could try and give me a constructive critique... Cheers, Adam!

to be honest, can't see the point in it? Whoever wins the site is gunna need somewhere to store it which means rather than using that and getting some filename like '113246780test.gif' they could just as easily upload it through their ftp program and give it a normal name like 'test.gif'? Also it's not very secure... Adam

Not keen on it myself... images aren't particularly smooth or well fitting i'd say. Like the image popup scripts though, nice touch! I think with a good logo and better use of images and colour for the layout you could make it much better.... I think the 'i's are a good idea, but could probably be made to fit in a bit better, look bit odd at minute.. And lastly the center alignment of text makes the content look a little rough and not thought out... My honest opinion... Adam

does sf_users have the "admin" field in it ?

Tx: Mailling List From: MiniMerc Bxc: removed@gmail.com, removed@aol.com .... is the echo'd headers variable - Cheers!

I've never needed to do this before so I'm having a few problems, but I have a list of email addresses like so.. "email@1, email@2, etc.." They are posted through the form with the name of the field as "sendTo". Fine so far, but I'm trying to send them all in one email rather than looping through them and sending one at a time. I've put the contacts in the Bcc header like so.. (I've removed my validation and what not from this code).. $subject = $_POST['subject']; $message = $_POST['message']; $contacts = $_POST['sendTo']; $headers = 'From: MiniMerc <noreply@minimerc.co.uk>' ."\r\n"; $headers .= 'Bcc: ' .$contacts. "\r\n"; $sendMail = mail('noreply@minimerc.co.uk', $subject, $message, $headers); I've been then running a conditional on the $sendMail var to find out if its been sent, and it keeps saying it has, but no email, not even spam in the spam.. Can anybody see something I've done wrong or.. provide any help? Cheers!

Ran into some trouble setting it all up.. it's not displaying css files, javascript files, images and its not linking right.. obivouslly its trying to get say "browse/SL_Class/style.css" is there any way of stopping this? causing big problems on the site.. Cheers! Adam

Cheers for the reply.. I've had a good look round now and I've come up with the following... RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^browse/([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/id/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/?$ index.php?class=$1&id=$2 [L] RewriteRule ^browse/([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/?$ index.php?class=$1&model=$2&id=$3 [L] RewriteRule ^browse/id/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/?$ index.php?id=$1 [L] RewriteRule ^browse/([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/?$ index.php?class=$1&model=$2 [L] RewriteRule ^browse/([a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/?$ index.php?class=$1 [L] It does work, and quite well.. but is that a long way round to do it? could it be done with just like one regular expression (bare in mind it's not always "class", "model" and "id" in the URL.. "model" and "id" may not be in the URL, sometimes it may just have "class" and "id" in the URL, and also sometimes it may just be "id" in the URL..) so it is quite complicated... any help? cheers!

Doubt you'd get one for free that'd be any good.. you'll need to look into creating a crawler / spider.. you'll find millions of results on google.. Adam

Hey all... am tryin to use mod rewrite to make some friendly URLs for a site i've been working on for a family friend .. basically the main file to browse is called "Shop.php" ... there's several parameters passed to it and it works on conditionals depending whats been passed, so... if just "c" (which stands for class) is passed obviouslly it just returns the cars with the class of ### .. if "c" and "m" (which stands for model) are passed it will obviouslly return cars with class of ### and model ###.. if "c", "m" and "id" are passed .. OR .. just "id" it will return the car listed under that ID.. so some examples could be: - shop.php?c=SL_Class - shop.php?c=SL_Class&m=R230 - shop.php?c=SL_Class&m=R230&id=C6 - shop.php?id=C6 what i'm struggling to do is create a .htaccess file which will rewrite the files right so i could have: - shop/SL_Class/ - shop/SL_Class/R230/ - shop/SL_Class/R230/C6/ - shop/C6/ I've had a good butchers on the internet but couldn't find any help .. has anyone got a decent tutorial about something similar or any help they could giv me? Thanks a lot, Adam

you can use cron if you've got a linux web server...

what happens after they've switched menus? they supposed to stay there even when page has been refreshed? You need to look into arrays for storing the lists.. for getting them out of the database in the first place you'll be needing to learn a bit of server side.. PHP for example.. query the database and then just output them in into the javascript its self..

Simple to do.. function clearForm() { var c=confirm('Are you sure?'); if(c) document.yourFormName.reset(); } Obviously you'll need to change 'yourFormName'.. and then add.. <input type="button" value="Clear" onclick="clearForm();" style="..." /> Needs to be a button tho otherwise it won't work.. a reset button would just reset every time, even if you click cancel..

sure was.. yorkshire english! It's not online at this present time. But allow me to illustrate with a screenshot... http://www.minimerc.co.uk/images/listproblem.jpg - Hope this makes it clearer, cheers! Adam

Well using a list for this.. list and err wanna make it look the same in IE as the rest obviously, except in IE it puts it like an inch to the left and completely ruins it. Used margin to make it look neat in FF but dunt work in IE... how do i go about getting IE to look the same, anyone know? Cheers Adam!

Looks good. Though I do say in parts it does look a little 'rough around the edges'... not very keen on the green+white gradients, i think a little bit more work on them is needed.. Also the clock and date, why are they in an input instead of just a span or div? Just makes it look a little rough and unfitting... It's coded in tables and there's 113 validation errors! For some reason in the code about 2 thirds of the way down you close the head again and re-open the body? Apart from that all is good, easy to navigate and find the jobs.. Though if that list gets longer id probably suggest putting in some pagination... don't know if you've already thought about that or not? Adam

well at the minute don't actually have anywhere to host the site... getting web space soon though. So al let yo know when its up on the WWW... cheers, adam

The designs a little basic, looks good for a start but needs work. Banner looks a little too thin and doesn't really fit in.. Generally needs a bit more colour and a bit more detail, too bland in my opinion... Content wise it needs improving, seem to have capital letters in the middle of sentences and gappy text.. incomplete paragraphs, lots of line breaks, doesn't flow too well... overall the grammar isn't too good... also I'm not too sure what the difference between 'Spikeon Inc' and 'Naked Monkeys' is? Adam

getting very little response, but I've done more changes.. http://www.minimerc.co.uk/images/design.jpg Cheers for any replies... Adam

can't get on with test & test ?

anyyy at all?
