AXiSS Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I seem to recall seeing that template before. Is there a point in getting critique on something you did not make? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreish Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 My bad for not being more clear. I did the php/mysql behind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviewdr Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Well - you have a problem if someone has quotes in their name and tries to Join. The usual Magic Quotes problem. http://evcircuit.com/outbound.php?siteID=asd Oh mamma. Is that asking for sql injection? As for your contact form - its at fault too. If you enter the details correctly, enter the spam key etc. and click submit, it goes through and you say "Thanks for the email..." F5 now a 100 times will spam you and possibly whoever else's email I tried to inject into the script. -steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreish Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 Thank you Steve! That's the kind of feedback I was hoping for. I thought for sure I'd gotten everything but I obviously missed those. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreish Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 Here's how I was cleaning up the user input. Is this incorrect? function sanitize($variable){ $variable = str_replace("",";",$variable); if(!get_magic_quotes_gpc()){ $variable = addslashes($variable); } return $variable; } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmgmyr Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I seem to recall seeing that template before. Is there a point in getting critique on something you did not make? ...it looks like businessman's template that he used @mreish - If you are not good at designing, why don't you hire someone to do that for you instead of using a template?

mreish Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 Hi Chris, Yeah, thank's for the feedback. I am good at designing but as I said in my follow up I did the PHP stuff behind the template for this site. I try to read through the entire thread before I reply and I think that's good advice for all. So, let me state this again just to be clear: I did not make the pretty design. I did, however, build the PHP behind it and I would once again like to thank Steve for his help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmgmyr Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I know, I DID read that you only programmed it. I was just merely trying to say that if you don't like design...get someone else to do it for you . If you just wanted to test the functionality we do have a forum for that. (For future reference...please do not double post) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreish Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 Ah, I was unware there was a forum for that. I saw 'Critique' and assumed it was the right place. I see my error now. I don't want to get bad Forum JooJoo so let me ask about the double post. If we find there was something else we wanted to share (even it it is 5+ hours between posts) must we wait untill there's another reply? If that is the rule then doesn't it seem a little silly as someone may have wasted time on a solution that could be wrong without the added info? I originally looked for an edit button to change my previous post but didn't see one. Did I miss it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbullmarky Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 lol nah you're ok for now. when Chris mentioned double posting, it was pre-empting that you may go off to the Beta Test forum and post the same topic as this one. Hence he mentioned "for future reference". critique would generally involve people looking at the site and thinking "wow, that looks good" or "damn, i'm gonna yaff up my guts if i see that page again" and outlining their thoughts. in this case, all there is to say is "there have been 2 or 3 other sites posted very recently that use the same template from the same people with no modifications. Check their critiques out so we dont go over the same ground." beta testing would be more concerned with trying to smash your site to pieces (ie, testing the back-end stuff, security, injection, functionality, etc not literally smashing it to pieces ) so that you can fix up security, functionality, etc. as for your current site, i'll just paste from my above example: there have been 2 or 3 other sites posted very recently that use the same template from the same people with no modifications. Check their critiques out so we dont go over the same ground it looks good, but same old. if you're good at designing, then do yourself a huge favour and knock up something new, or (at very least) go find a not-so-popular template. Hope that all helps Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkBait Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Umm I just looked at this exact same template: http://www.freelancebusinessman.com/index.php verus http://www.evcircuit.com/ So who did what site?? and if you did the PHP and MySQL behind it.. what did FreelanceBusinessman do? I'm confused! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbullmarky Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 it's a template by styleshout. And two different sites don't need to have the same PHP/MySQL behind it so my wild stab in the dark is that busi ALSO did the PHP/MySQL, but for his own needs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ted_chou12 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 When I entered: http://www.evcircuit.com/ the whole page is just a logo, and it does not have a link, how are your visitors suppose to get into the core of your site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreish Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 Dear Forum Gods, I've made some design changes and would like all to take another look. Can I safely post as a new topic in "Beta Test Your Stuff!" without fear of Double Posting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 if you want us to beta test, post in beta test and suggest what might be worth testing. If testing involves having some kind of account, set up a dummy testers can use without registering. if you want a new design (of your own) critiqued, post in the critique forum.
