Hi guys,

I'm needing to create a paid-membership site. I know it's rare but does anyone know of a place where I can purchase such a package already pre-made?

Here's what I want. I want people to be able to buy subscriptions in order to view ALL of the content available on my site. Imagine a subscription for an online magazine.

I'm good with html and php (basically) but I'm just not familiar with how to go about creating this.

I'm also thinking of maybe hiring a freelancer from hireme.com

Suggestions on where to start looking to find what I'm looking for?

I know it's vague/confusing. I'm not horrible at web design, but what I do know doesn't go much beyond php (nuke, that kinda thing) and such. I've never done any paid subscription type things before.

Thanks.

I run a website for a local non-profit, and we publish our monthly newsletter online via pdf's. Most people do not have a problem clicking the file and it opens. A small few click the link and nothing happens, very odd. Naturally the people who are having the problem are running IE7, has anyone else seen this problem?

For that matter when I print to PDF (Acrobat Pro 8) all my files are rotated for some reason, what is up with that?

I was wondering if anybody out there had any good recommendations for websites that provide music. Things that would be good as background music on video, flash, etc. The type of stuff that hopefully won't make people go flying for the mute button.

Sites with royalty free stuff, decent service, etc.

Disclaimer: I hate music on websites, specially the type that play automagically. (before anybody yells at me :D)

for some reason my computer will not play anything past the first minute(if that) of a youtube video or a song on myspace. it usually gets to an intro and then the sound stops. however, youtube and myspace say that the song/video is still playing. or with youtube it will play a few seconds and then the end thing that asks if you want to watch the video again pops up. if i push to watch it again it does the exact same thing.
i have updated my flash player, because i thought that's what it was at first. that apparently made no difference.
i uninstalled and then reinstalled firefox. the problem also happens in plain internet explorer
i tried to update my windows music player and it won't let me. i don't know why.
i uninstalled everything i had installed in the past week, which about when this fuckery started.the things i had installed were flickr uploader, bear share, and lastfm scrobbler.
the computer does play my itunes and music/movies from my computer, just not from websites. it allows my itunes to play podcasts,but not stream radio that is not from itunes.
how do i fix it?
do i need to reformat my computer?

my computer is an hp pavillion a347x. i have windows xp. my virus protection is pretty up to date.i tried to dnld avgfree, but it won't let me.

I am really frustrated and hope somebody can help me figure this out.  I've been working on a new version of my website for quite some time now.

http://www.bodacia.com

As of a few weeks ago, the site looked pretty similar in both IE and Firefox. Now, all of a sudden, Firefox is not picking up a whole bunch of the formatting, and I'm left wondering what the heck I did wrong. Yes, I have been tweaking the style sheet a bit here and there...but I didn't think it was anything that would majorly affect the overall design of the site.

The way the site looks in IE is the way it's supposed to look -- i.e., trebuchet and arial fonts; green navigation bar at the top ("nav" and "navinner" on style sheet); and left-hand-side navigation box ("newsbox" and "innernews" on style sheet). But when I view it in Firefox, I see all times new roman font and default bullets where the nav bar and nav box should be.  Any ideas for how I can get Firefox to once again pick up the correct formatting -- fonts, green nav back, nav box on the left, etc.?

What's really weird is that the subsites of my main site (www.bodacia.com/chauncey and www.bodacia.com/house) look like they're supposed to in Firefox.  So why doesn't the main site???

Anyway, any help/insight would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you so much! :)

Hi. I have a potential client that wants me to develop a web style guide for them similar to this. I'll have to develop a few story boards to base the style guide on, but their in-house designers and coders will actually be implementing everything and using the guide as a reference for redesigning and updating the site going forward. The site is very large and therefor the style guide will have to be fairly detailed so I gather it will likely take quite a few hours to put together. I realize I can charge my hourly rate and guesstimate how many hours it may take, but really, it would be just that - a guesstimate.

Has anyone ever done a project like this and if so, do you have any idea what to charge?

Thanks in advance.

SSIS.

Can anyone please explain to me what the above error means and how to correct it? Microsoft's error reference is its usual helpful self, and it seems no one has gotten this error (or asked about it anywhere on the web) in my particular situation. Before someone suggests it, no, I cannot permanently change the type of output.

I'm trying to take the restuls of a stored procedure and export them to Excel in a data flow task. This is a common thing at my workplace, and we have hundreds of them that work correctly. Every once in a while, though, one of them starts dying, and it always throws the error in the subject line, invariably preceded by a DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. The going wisdom for people using OLEDB or SQL SERVER destinations is that it actually is what it says it is-- there's a problem with a transformation. So I figured I'd give that a shot with the Excel Destination. I switched it over to Fast Load (in order to be able to get to the MaxBatchSize parameter, to set it to 1-- I don't usually use it), dropped all the columns but one, and tried to execute the task with that single mapping, of a four-byte signed integer. I redirected the error output to a text file, but it's a four-byte signed integer, how can anything go wrong?

Here's a piece of the text file that comes out.

,,,,,,0,,,,,,,,,,,,-1071607685,-1
,,,,,,0,,,,,,,,,,,,-1071607685,-1
,,,,,,1,,,,,,,,,,,,-1071607685,-1
,,,,,,2,,,,,,,,,,,,-1071607685,-1
,,,,,,2,,,,,,,,,,,,-1071607685,-1
,,,,,,0,,,,,,,,,,,,-1071607685,-1
,,,,,,0,,,,,,,,,,,,-1071607685,-1
,,,,,,0,,,,,,,,,,,,-1071607685,-1

Obviously, the problem is not with four bytes being too small to hold the integers that are failing out on me. The brilliant -1071607685 error code translates to "no status is available." Which tells me less than nothing.

I have deleted and recreated the destination spreadhseet to make sure there's no corruption in a template or anything. I've tried this single-mapping approach with every column (Unicode string, four-byte signed int, and currency), and, of course, with all columns. I've read every page I can find on the internet about DTS_E_OLEDBERROR, DTS_E_INDUCEDTRANSFORMFAILUREONERROR, and -1071607685, and tried every applicable suggestion. It works wonderfully when I send the output to a flat file destination, but as I said previously, that is not an option that's available to me in production, only in testing-- I must use the Excel Destination for this client.

I don't even know where to begin looking at this point. I've exhausted all my possibilities. Anyone have any other ideas? Thanks.

Hi!

I have a question that may or may not be easy to answer. I am redesigning the website for my college's classics department and I'd really like it to look better than all the others, so I'm trying out coding I've never used before. So far I've not made too much progress because I'm stuck on one idea that I don't know how to do. I'd like the links at the bottom (which are roll-over images, not text links) to become a menu that pops out above when the link is rolled over. Here is all I have so far.

I found this site and thought it was perfect to use as an example of what I was thinking of. Only I think they're using Flash and I don't know how to use that for webpages, so could anyone tell me how I might accomplish this, or if that is too difficult, could anyone point me in the direction of a helpful tutorial? I've been searching, believe me, but so far found nothing that combines bottom vertical roll-over expanding menus and roll-over text images as the main links.

Thanks!!
Courtney

Has anyone ever used Cute Chat before? Here's the link if anyone wants to check it out: http://cutesoft.net/asp.net+chat/default.aspx

I'm just looking for any experiences (negative or positive) as I know someone who is looking at purchasing it for use on their website.

One thing I find concerning is when the FAQ talks about it's scalability, it just says it's recommended for medium to high traffic levels but doesn't define what those traffic levels would be. I'm curious as to how many people at a time could be in this chatroom without there being problems.

Thanks!

I've gone to so many places online for a few years now and have yet to find a perfect solution.

I know those 2 words should never apply to web design and dev but still. By perfect I mean a footer that actually stays at the bottom of the screen at all times. The same as if it was in a table format. Doesn't matter if the content needs scrolling. Is not only cross browser and cross platform sufficient but also in the same place no matter what resolution.

The resolution thing to me has always been the biggest issue, FF, IE, Safari & Opera all are workable if you design for an exact resolution. Once you change resolutions, I find footers have the most issues. They are the most "unliquid-like" objects I can think of.

I'm also looking for a centering issue that uses all the above scenarios, but one albatross at a time. Padding and margins are doing the trick sorta so far.

So Div footers that are actually liquid as well as absoluter bottom. Does it even exist?

(please note... i'm a novice and do websites for fun!)

Argh!!! I'm having a bit of rubbish time.... I'm putting together a website called www.pinup-parade.com, to showcase European-based vintage-style pin-up. Obviously this involves using photos. But because I really don't like clunky galleries or flash-heavy ones, or the kind of galleries that are a headache to customise, I thought the easiest option would be to have a simple table with a thumbnail in each cell, and then on clicking the thumbnail, a pop-up of the full-size image.

I've just put up the first gallery, and I'm pleased with it. It's clean, and it needs a couple of tweaks, but it does its job. I've tried it on 4 different computers (one at home, 3 at work) and they're all fine.

I've sent the URL to some friends, and some can get on the page - but curiously some people can't get the page to load at all.

Initially I thought this was because the site was down, but it can't be down that much! My thought is that perhaps some browsers or virus thingies are so geared up to block pop-ups that they won't even load a page if it contains pop-up script. Would I be right? I have a suspicion that it might be UK-based AOL users who can't get on the site.

The way round this would be of course to have a separate page for each full-size picture, but it would be a bit annoying and would fill up my directories....

Does anyone know a way round this? If you can help, you get to look at pictures of pretty ladies in old dresses!

Click here to see the page - and if nothing loads, let me know!

Edit: Someone's just said that they can't get on that page, nor even the site's front page. It's an add-on domain (or parked or something... the terms confuse me), so it's actually hosted within rockinscene.com

Could it be a problem with the url pinup-parade.com not resolving properly? But I don't understand why it would work for some people and not others!

If you can't getthat link up there to work, try this one.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

Edit #2: The people who couldn't get it load before now can... But I don't understand what was going on. This hasn't happened to me before!

Hi, heres the issue. Mozilla 5.0 is incorrectly displaying some graphics on my web page. When pages loads only some of the images are showing as white boxes the rest are just fine. When I use IE 5 the graphics are showing just fine. I'm not having problems with user pictures but the themes and the information under the user pics are not showing. I have tried creating a new profile, followed the handy dandy FAQ for problems on there website and everything appears the be correct.

Hi there, I was hoping someone would be able to help me with a font/resolution problem.

You see, I just got a new computer and the resolution is 1440 x 900. And I realized that the resolution affects the way certain sites look.

The font at this website looked normal with my old resolution (1024 x 768) but now it looks more like this.

My website is currently down but I used the same font. So is there anyway to get the font to look normal on all screen resolutions? Or am I always going to be facing this problem with websites using that font?
