1. Java help

    Date: 10/07/05 (Computer Help)    Keywords: browser, html, java, shopping

    I've been having trouble with Java. For example, if I'm doing online shopping, they often have the option of viewing a larger image of the item, which comes up in a popup window or something. A lot of the time, no window or image appears at all. Most recently, I clicked on a button with the following link: javascript:centerIt(345,164,'popvideo.html?artist=beautiful','drvideo'); and again, it didn't work. :\ I'm pretty sure the problem is on my end because the sites work on other people's computers. I also tried turning off the popup blocker (whether or not that's even related to this problem), but still nothing. What's going on??

    I'm using Windows XP home edition and my browser is Firefox 1.0.7. (Though it doesn't work with my IE either.)

    Thanks

  2. question on online store

    Date: 11/17/05 (Web Development)    Keywords: oscommerce, linux, shopping

    I am new to this online store thing but I found a program that seems to be pretty easy, free, and works with Dreamweaver. www.oscommerce.com

    However, there are only downloads for windows and linux. I'm using Mac OS 10.4 Does anyone know of a program like this (sets up store and shopping cart) for OS X????

    Thanks very much for the help!

  4. A very specific gift

    Date: 11/20/05 (Computer Geeks)    Keywords: shopping, ebay

    I'm getting around to making my shopping list & I'm stuck on one. My Aunt is a computer teacher/manager of an elementary school & I hear she does a little bit for the junior high as well, (small school). I'd like to get her something that she can hang around her computer screen, etc. Examples are things such as the animals that are made of fabric that hug the screen, little trinkets made for sitting ontop of a computer monitor, or even merchandise, such as a bag with little computers sewn onto it. If push comes to shove I'll get crafty & make something for her, it's just where to find this inspiration that's the problem. She's around Macs all day, and loves little "cutesy" things with computers since it's that elementary teacher chic look ;) Anyone have any links to merchandise? Or even links to how-tos to make her something?

    I found little mouse pencil sharpeners that make great stuffing with a gift on Ebay, & will keep searching! Thanks for any help!:)

  5. Super Secret Santa

    Date: 11/30/05 (Algorithms)    Keywords: php, database, shopping

    So every year my friends and I do a Secret Santa exchange (the basic idea under a normal setup is to take a set of n names and derange them, so each person buys a gift for someone else, the 'secret' part being that nobody knows who's shopping for whom)... but we have a large group and there's some people who simply don't know each other, so being the programmer that I am, I scripted up a few PHP pages and a database to allow people to sign up to partipate, and then select the members that they would be willing to shop for. Ideally, I can call the "assignment" algorithm, write the results back to the database, and never know who has whom.

    The trick now is to write an efficient (ideally! correctness is vital, no approximations! and n is not THAT large that exponential is out of the question) algorithm to find the shopping assignments OR prove that the input does not allow an assignment where every participant is: 1) being shopped for by exactly one person and 2) shops for exactly one person other than himself

    Algorithmically speaking:

    GIVEN:
    D, a simple digraph (no loops), where a node is a person and an edge from X to Y indicates X is willing to shop for Y

    FIND:
    D', a subset of D, where forall v in V, indegree(v) = outdegree(v) = 1. D' need not be connected (there is no guarantee D is). OR prove that given D, there is no satisfying D'.

    CONSTRAINTS:
    Must be correct. Time is key. A large but reasonable amount of space may be used. Bonus points if the algorithm can be randomized (or even produces different output if you start at a different node, so long as other constraints are still met).


    Since I have a small n, I can play around with insane solutions like "select a random assignment, check for validity, if not valid repeat"... but it seems like there should be some sort of algorithm to do this, but at the same time, I wonder if maybe it is more difficult than it seems...

  6. Simple, simple, simple shopping carts

    Date: 12/16/05 (WebDesign)    Keywords: php, oscommerce, shopping

    So I'm setting up a shopping cart for a new site for a client, using osCommerce. I've start customizing it to fit in with the design of the site, entering things into the catalog, etc. Turns out it's a lot more complicated than she wants.

    What she wants is just static pages, with an 'add to cart' button, and actual cart that I can customize tothe site, and after all the information is said and done it gets emailed to her, so she can enter it in with ProPay.

    Any suggestions of a PHP script to use? I've done stuff like this using PAyPal, CCNow, etc, and can setup a osComemrce site fairly easy, but she wants very simple...

  7. micrapera? (first post, cross posted, sorry)

    Date: 12/26/05 (Opera Browser)    Keywords: microsoft, google, shopping

    hi, i'm new here *waves*

    so slashdot has pointed to articles rumoring that opera is being / has already been bought by microsoft. 

    okay, stop screaming.  this is following another reported rumor last week that google was about to buy out opera, which fortunately opera themselves laughed off as false, as they also did with this (even more ridiculous) rumor here, here and here, so we can all sleep well tonight.

    there's even a hilarious poll asking opera fans to vote on who the next comany to be rumored opera shopping will be here.  they need to add microsoft (microsopera?  microsoft internet oxplora?  how about micrapera?) to the list.

    which makes me wonder:

    exactly what would a micrapera bastardized half-breed broswer be like? 

    i imagine lots and lots and lots of completely unnecessary and ridiculous features no one uses while they'd take out all the useful ones.  maybe they'd hide them under eighteen million extra (ugly) buttons and menus.  when micrapera would crash (and it would of course) so would your computer and everyone else's computer on your neighborhood, and maybe your printer would get possessed by the devil.  the opera logo would be changed to a blue O with a hoop around it like an orbit.  maybe the 404 error would be replaced by a blue screen, or maybe a red one?  oh and it would come preloaded with a worm or two.  i don't know.  

    i'm too creeped out now, so feel free to add to the list :-)

  8. PHP session expire?

    Date: 01/06/06 (PHP Community)    Keywords: php, software, shopping

    The only way I can think to accurately describe what I want, is to compare it to ColdFusion, so please bear with me for a second here...

    In ColdFusion, there is a "session expiration" option. I can track users (i.e. if User A is logged in, maintain their shopping cart, etc), via server side session variables for however many minutes I specify in this option. It's a setting in the ColdFusion server software that I edit via the Administrator.

    Is there a similar option for PHP apps? And if so, where is the setting?

    Thanks.

    Does anyone know where i can find a place to transfer and renew my .org name for under $8, besides godaddy.com. I'm not very happy with them. I have a wonderful host already, so I'm not really shopping for one. Netfirms.com caught my eye, but I couldn't tell if they allow you to host your domain name on nameservers other than their own. Any insights?

I use an online shopping cart that is PHP and open source and am having EXTREME difficulty trying to figure out where to place a custom javascript just to simply make an image I have open up a smaller window with a flash music player in it. To make a long story short, here is the post I made in the (not very helpful at times) community for the cart I use. Click here.

    I've been asked to develop an online store from scratch for a client. I've never done this before.

I'll be writing it in PHP if that makes a difference to any of the recommendations.

  16. Question about eCommerce

    Date: 03/06/06 (WebDesign)    Keywords: software, web, hosting, shopping

    I'm a programmer who has recently been pushed into a position of web designer where I work. I'm designing a very small site for a customer of ours, and they would like the ability to accept orders online. They wanted a simple form that would email orders to them. I knew I could easily program such a thing, but told them that email is not secure for collecting credit card information, and that they would most likely need some sort of shopping cart software. The company which they purchased hosting through offers a shopping cart program for $9 a month. Otherwise I can try to implement some free shopping cart software.

    My question is this: Is there any way to do secure ordering the way they want without a shopping cart? They don't want to use PayPal, or any other service that costs them money per sale. They simply want a form to come to them listing the order and the credit card info, which they can then process themselves. If not, then can anyone suggest some good free shopping carts that are simple to implement (I imagine they'll want to update on their own once the site is live)? I apologize if my questions seem naive. Like I said, I am new to web design.

There is next to nothing on support from the Merchantplus people, and very little on the interwebs. I just want to be able to take my lovely form, use some script to do the credit card processing and be done with this project. Any hints or people who have used authorize.net in the past?
