Northern Flame Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 in the last two days i have seen two posts about the same topic. In the past I have seen this topic too. It is about one of your tutorials, the pagination tutorial has some bugs that need fixing. Take this post as an example, http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,172351.0.html Someone else and I provided a fix for that user. Can someone please fix the tutorial so that the people who follow it don't come across this issue? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew-Portal Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I dont understand what the problem is. I followed the tutorial by the letter and it worked great for me. But I also did some modding to the script because the ?page variables were already taken on my pages. But besides that it worked great for me...

PFMaBiSmAd Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Unfortunately, just posting "fixed" code that worked for you without a statement of what exactly you changed in the code, does little to help. That tutorial was written in 2002. It is doubtful that without a list of what needs to be fixed, that anyone, even the original author, would have much success in fixing it. Besides what you might have found, the code is dependent on register_globals being on and probably does not work on many servers today and it won't work at all under php6, when php6 is released.

Northern Flame Posted December 25, 2007 Author Share Posted December 25, 2007 oh, well when i followed it i had a problem with the links, maybe i did something wrong when reading the tutorial but others had the same problem as me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revraz Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 I don't think they have anyone here that does anything with the Tutorials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ober Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 We actually have several active mods that help with the tutorials. The pagination tutorial is very old and should be considered as such. If you'd like to write a new one, you can send it to me and I'd be glad to post it for you. At that point we can disable the old one.

revraz Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 How about a How To that instructs people on How To Write a Tutorial? I've seen a few posts asking for one as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 How about a How To that instructs people on How To Write a Tutorial? I've seen a few posts asking for one as well. And I remember having answered a few as well. You just need to know HTML, <code> for code boxes and [PAGEBREAK] for page breaks. I'm not sure if regular users have permissions to add a tutorial though. We actually have several active mods that help with the tutorials. I think you, Ron and Eric are the only people who can edit everybody's tutorials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ober Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Yeah, that's true. I forgot about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelmanronald06 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 no, i'm fairly sure that normal users can now add tutorials but mods have to approve them. I thought I made this feature avaliable not to long ago, since the User Submitted Tutorials was down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelmanronald06 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 UPDATE i was right. any normal user can add a tutorial, but a mod must approve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redbullmarky Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 What are these for? :-\ hmmm..."22 reasons why IE5 and 6 are the best browsers on the planet" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelmanronald06 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 those submissions that have, for all intents, vanished from the database. Kind of like the tutorials that still exist, but the content is deleted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Flame Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 how can I insert a tutorial? I have it written already and it works, if any mod wants to check it out go to http://forums.tizag.com/showthread.php?t=5670 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revraz Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 You have, but wouldn't it be nice to have a Guide that explains it rather than having to reply to posts asking about it? The tutorial count is not growing, it almost seems like a wasted feature if no one submits anything. How about a How To that instructs people on How To Write a Tutorial? I've seen a few posts asking for one as well. And I remember having answered a few as well. You just need to know HTML, <code> for code boxes and [PAGEBREAK] for page breaks.

Ken2k7 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 The tutorial count is not growing, it almost seems like a wasted feature if no one submits anything. Well I don't see it much a point if it grows or not. Users just come on a post every little bug anyways, when it would be much faster to make a simple test. :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
