is there anyone oout there who knows much about working with Oracle? i have a few questions about a project i'm doing.

i've created a very basic blogging system, the index page displays all of the posts (in a very ugly plain format hehe), and has a link to a page where you can write your post. click Submit and the post is commited to the DB and going back to the indexpage you can see the new post.

I'd like to be able to display the posts in a more attractive way, but i'm not sure how. I really only know the basics of PHP and SQL.
The second thing i'd like is to have the ability to comment on each post, similar to LJ really.

All source code for the pages can be provided if anyone would like to tackle this. If someone has the time to step-by-step me through these i'd be super grateful! if someone feels kind enough to write the code and be done with it, even better. Or if ou are feeling cryptic and just want to supply some really good links to sites that deal with PHP/Oracle tutorials, that would be helpful too! :)

-fingers crossed-

pretty please? :)

paul.

I hope you don't mind me asking this here (seems a good a place as any, in my opinion), but I've got a quick question.

Can anyone offer some suggestions on a good PHP-based blogging script? It just needs to work for me (meaning it doesn't have to be community-oriented). All I really need is a subject, entry, basic archives, comments, post icons, html formatting (but auto newlines would be handy), music, moods, screening (security), and ... that's about it. Sounds longer when you write it out.

I've looked over Bloxsom, and it looks good, but it's only in Perl. I've seen a couple of Bloxsoms in PHP, but not sure what to use...

I've also seen PHPBBlog, or whatever it's called. Anyone have an opinion on that?

Of course, like a true PHP Guru, I suppose I should build one myself.

I run a mixed content website with a couple of my friends.  One of those friends knows html and some basic php.  I know html and some basic php and some css.  The third friend knows nothing.

I'm looking for a CMS that we can use to update our site.

www.thisisjerkass.com

That's our site, as you can see we have articles, videos, etc.  I'm just looking for a way to make posts on the front page a lot easier.  As of now, I have to edit four files just to put it up there and archive it.  I can't use just a regular blogging cms because the format of the site isn't exactly a blog.  Anyone have any suggestions?

WordPress is a very popular personal publishing platform aka blogging platform (with a primitive CMS) in use all over the web.

I wrote this blog post about how I hate blogs (ironic?). It was a little more than that, I was actually talking/thinking about how a lot of content is put into a blogging format... content that could be best delivered other ways.

Usually when I vomit out ideas, I generally find that I'm well behind the curve. Thus, I was wondering... does anyone know of CMS software that exists that is taylored for E-Zines or an Essay Archive similar to the stuff I'd posted about?

I'm making a threaded comments script for a blogging system. My code so far is not working, so I'm trying to think it through again using pseudo-code. I'd really appreciate some feedback on what I should be doing, if anyone would mind taking a look at the pseudo-code (under the cut). If my reasoning is correct, then I can concentrate on the syntax.


MySQL tables:

Posts (sorry for the yuck formatting)

id	year	month	day	hour	minute	timestamp	author	title	content	images	mood	music

Comments

id (unique id)	post (to which the comment belongs)	parent (comment to which the comment is a reply)	author	title	timestamp	email	homepage	content

Coding

• have a script, PostsTable.php, to display a post or posts using a while loop, including a collapsible division to display comments or not as desired (easy - done that)
• for each post, set the parent value, $parent_id, to 0 as part of the while loop
• for each post, set the ID of the post, $post_id, from the array generated by the query used to get the post
• within the comments division below each post, include a script, CommentsView.php, to run the queries to get comments
• use a while loop in CommentsView.php to get all comments in order and in accordance with $parent_id and $post_id
• for each comment, set its ID (within the loop) as $parent_id for looping through its replies later
• if there are no comments for a particular post (or replies to a particular comment), end
• if there are comments, include a script to display them similar in design to PostsTable.php: CommentsTable.php
• CommentsTable.php includes CommentsView.php, until it ends

Question:

In regards to the announcement that Blogger/Blogspot, one of the Big 3 Blogging services (alongside both Xanga and our own Livejournal), was created by its developers using Mozilla Firefox, and that Firefox is recommended by the same for viewing the content on all pages within the Blogger domain, I have wondered about Livejournal's place in all this.

Frankly, while Livejournal hasn't given me much of any problems as a Firefox user, I'm worried about how Livejournal was built, and if the content on here is all totally compatible with this increasingly-present web browser.

I mean, yes, the code for Livejournal is filed under one of those GNU-GPLs we keep hearing about. However, even if that's the case, the slightest notion of Livejournal's hypothetical Firefox incompatibility will have alot of us LJers wondering about our future here.

Hopefully, such isn't the case. Hopefully, its not a matter of one browser getting better treatment over, or at the expense of, another browser.
