Does anyone know anything about geeklog? I'm hoping someone can tell me how to modify a website that is written entirely in PHP, a server side script, and has geeklog installed. I've been struggling to make sense of this application but i'm clueless. I know HTML, and some PHP, but not enough to puzzle out geeklog.

I read everything on it that I could get my hands on, but there are some gaps in my knowledge. Now I need some practical advice and guidance. I log into the server and check out the php files, and they all seem unfamiliar to me. Someone, help. What should I do?

(Is it absolutely necessary to master php in order to make the changes I want? Is there a WYSIWYG program like Frontpage out there that encodes php?)

I read everything on it that I could get my hands on, but there are some gaps in my knowledge. Now I need some practical advice and guidance. I log into the main console and am unable to change anything on the site. The php code looks unfamiliar to me. Is it absolutely necessary to master php in order to make the changes I want?

An interesting chart comparing available jobs for these four popular languages - java, php, python and ruby. All of them are extensively used for web application development. Does it prove anything? You be the judge.

Hello,
I have written an application that sends an email verification request to a person signing up for a mailing list. When testing the applicatation I have the following problem:

The email comes to my personal account very quickly probably because my mail and the server are in the same domain. The problem comes with Yahoo and Hotmail. The people helping me test this say they are not getting the notification at all. I have tested it on one of my webmail type accounts and I got it. The first time took 30 seconds, the second time I got nothing.

Any suggestions would be helpful. I do not have access to PEAR.

Thanks.

Hello all. I'm a photographer (soon to graduate) who needs a flash website made for an online portfolio. Firstly, I'm not sure where to look in terms of finding somebody other than a random google search. I'm also not sure what to expect in terms of prices. I understand some sites can cost thousands of dollars, and I certainly can't afford that as a student. What should I expect and where do I start? Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I have a client who asked me to do layout designs for websites, and she wants to charge me per hour. which is ok, i guess.... But she always asks "how long will it take? I want to know how much I will have to pay you."

Is the client being reasonable? If she asked me to make an entire website (layout, coding, etc), then I can give her a rough timeline. But when it comes to just layout designs which I'm being charged 15-20$, I don't think this is fair. For layout designs, I personally think that it should be a fixed payment.

The only thing I don't like about doing layout designs per hour is that I often don't get enough for the work I put into it. Does anyone else agree? Since making layouts doesn't involve an entire website, a basic layout could take anywhere from 2-4 hours. If I'm going to be paid so little, I'd rather not do it. It's not worth my time and work. How can I make the client understand this? She doesn't make websites, so she obviously doesn't know where I'm coming from.

Any advice would be apprecitated.

Thank you!

There's something going around - I assume a worm - that is sending IM's to a user's buddies:

can I add this pic of us to my profile on facebook or myspace? http://tinyurl.com/phag8


The URL given leads to the file pict32.scr, and once opened it auto-terminates itself. I hear that Norton Antivirus isn't detecting it, and I know that Avast! Antivirus isn't either. Does anyone know of a program that is detecting this or able to remove it?

BTW - hyperlink on that URL has been changed so that no one accidentally clicks it. I've already contacted Avast!, as well as Tinyurl.com. Is anyone able to tell where url is being forwarded to? Perhaps someone could contact the folks of that webservice.

Today my boss told me that he wanted me to add a link "Make this your homepage" on our home page with a script to make our web site the homepage.

I Googled around and it looks like it works only in IE 5 and higher. Am I wrong?

Is there a such script that works in all browsers or at least IE, Netscape, and Firefox?

I feel stupid asking because if I want to bookmark, I use my browser's Preferences and bookmarks and think that anyone should know how to do that themselves. I'm betting this little script would be in JS.

Question, because it isn't totally obvious on the Greymatter website. Can I organize entries not by date, but in categories? I am working on a recipe site, and the user needs a content management system that is easy to use and update. I immediately through of Greymatter. However, she also needs to be able to put the recipes in sections (ie, entrees, desserts, appetizers). Is this possible with Greymatter (before I go in and try to make it happen)? If not, is there a good mod to do this with?

Are there any other free, open-source blogging systems that can achieve this result while still being 100% customisable and integratable that I do not know of?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

I'm developing 2 sites that have a horizontal navigation menu. Normally, I frown on horizontal menus because it doesn't allow for expansion of "areas", but the recent layouts tend to look better with a horizontal menu. I'm in a bit of a bind, because the only navigation drop down/slide out is a CSS driven layout with JS, but I can't get the hort. menu to work with it. It was suggested that I use a DHTML menu with layers, but I have never attempted that.

Could you all give me some advice or suggestions? I like the look and feel of the JS menu, but I know that about 10% of the users disable JS in the browsers and sometimes the JS prevents the links to be cataloged for search engines. What is the positive/negative aspects of using DHTML for the menus? Does anyone have a good tutourial for it? I'm using Dreamweaver 8.

Hey! I'd love some constructive criticism about my web design. Coding, looks and the general feeling you get from the site.

WHIRLWIND - My personal site in swedish. This site contains most of my life. Diary, photo diary, ego-gallery, art, design, sewing, fanlistings etc. There is a english section where you can read translations of the links so you know what is what and where.

http://www.whirlwind.nu


MASK OF SORROW - This is a page I made for my guild in World of Warcraft. Note that the graphics NOT is by me. I only did the coding.

http://www.maskofsorrow.net


IMAGINATIONS - This is just a thing I did when I was bored the hell out of my regular site packed with stuff. I wanted to make something really simple solemnly based on css. I'm not sure what to use the site for since I did it only for fun.

SO, love, hate, critizise, praise and whatever. I want opinions. Thank you!
