Re: [Help]Scrollbars   The most used browser is Internet Explorer. If you are going to make a website and make sure everything is alligned and suited to one browser then surely it should be the browser that is used by the majority not by the developer himself or herself.

Re: Dogdy bussines Is cleverer even a word? I always thought that the comparative form of clever is more clever, or something like an alternative, smarter, with the superlative form being either most clever or smartest. :-)

Re: What's your motivation?   Well I like being here, and I feel I can contribute both by helping others and by learning from the members here. I still believe not everyone is here for the money.   Well then I my apologies I jumped to assumptions :-)

Re: Dogdy bussines My friends arent exactly geeks. :mrgreen: But there are a few ignorant people, well I noticed its the dumb people that call others geeks; Once I run my own Mafia, il show em.

Re: Block multiple logins Also sorry for the double post but; "I have made modification's of up to 5,000 line's. This mod is 50 line's. You think it will take me long to code it?" If you are so god damn clever ans so good then why did you make this topic? Surely you could of done it yourself? Prat... Simple as.

Re: What's your motivation?   Well I could go on all day... I simply am not interested in the money aspect in this. I simply want to improve my skills, as I find it interesting and I am intrigued by it. Also I was reffering to Soccer [sarcasm] :-D I mean if you are going to use English then use it propally... colours not colors, and Football not the Fake Rugby :-D [/sarcasm] I still think people regard sports as a hobby, I mean I train at a basketball club even though I know I wont make it as a proffesional, its just because I like playing it - however if someone offered me a job as a basketball player I would take it. :roll:

Re: What's your motivation? No. I am learning to satisfy myself. However ofcourse I am no fool, and if I can make money whilst having fun I will do it. For example, I think Football is a hobby, and there are proffesionals who earn money doing what they like, if they werent in the position they are in they would still maintain playing the game with their friends and improving themselfs.

Re: Dogdy bussines   Depends on who you ask. My friends dont consider me a geek... Random people that sometimes ask do. So its a tricky question. Everyone knows that geeks rule anyway :-D

Re: Block multiple logins Firstly I dont understand what my length of posts has to do with anything. I tried and I will establish myself as a good member around here adding value to the forum, building a solid foundation for myself as someone who is valued for his presence here. The manner in which society constructs your obsession with this forum stands directly to influence policy that is not only in reference to the addictive properties of this forum and the community overall, but the pathologization of behaviour that certain groups of influence find unacceptable, or simply different. And I personally had nothing against you, but you took that for granted and just added yet another person to the list of people that dont particulary like you. All I did was say that your decision was bizzare... and it was.   It is marginally faster as you said and will not have a big affect. And for the other comment with your pure arrogance and ignorance and simply inability to consider other peoples opinions you will never achieve anything, apart from a few dollars which you may regard as a fortune. Also in what position are you to say that the ' and " have a difference, Cronus, has a relatively higher proffesional status than you and owns a reasonably big game, and even he did not notice the difference. Let me tell you this; you wont be able to notice the difference, unless you are in someway special and have special senses in timing.   You dont need to code it, you listed specific details on the modification you required and he provided you with it. Why would you not use it and say its not your style? That is just a totally idiotic statement, your style has nothing to do with it, and besides everyone would have a different style anyway.   I did not critisise you, I critisised your statement. You asked a question and I gave my opinion on the solution, which had infact not occured to you. I did not ask you to care about my opinion, and the truth is that you do; or else you would not of made this come back. Now this is what I think of you now; You are an immature, ignorant and arrogant kid. Who takes money for granted and has no idea about the real world, you are so obssessed with the website that you care of what people think of you on it, like you have a reputation. You abuse the privledge of having excessive Internet acces and I think you probably suffer from health problems like obesity due to lack of physical activity. You are probably a fat kid, depressed kid, one that sacrifises sleep to spend some time on CE, and you are preoccupied with getting back online when away from the computer daydreaming about what mod to create to satsify yourself. Clearly you have trouble distinguishing between the virtual world and the real world. I suggest you get a girlfriend and make some friends, and ofcourse go on a diet to loose weight :-D - Rainbow -

Re: What's your motivation?   Yes, but thats side tracking your initial statement. If I did failed to make money from now on, I would still be here, to be coding as a freelancer is just a side venture, a hobby, because I like the actual fact of learning and developing my skills as a programmer.   To learn PHP you dont have to keep your website online. I am sure not all people have websites on here either. I could host something on my local host, which doesnt cost me at all. Or a free host for that matter. And I never said I wanted an established website, I said I want to fulfil or atleast try to fulfil of achieving the standard of coding to the best of my ability. I just do it for fun, and something to brag about. Nothing to do with money what so ever.

Re: Dogdy bussines I dont see how you can call a programmer a geek. I think individuals vary, just because one is interested in gathering information about websites does not mean he is a 'geek'. Some programmers love what they do, some just do it for the money. Some programmers are business minded whilst others do it for general purposes as for being intrueged. I mean my friends know I do this, and they think I am clever however by no means a geek, they know my characteristics and that I am quite lazy and dont meet course deadlines. I mean I regard a geek as a peculiar and odd person, one who is overly obsessed with things that include the aspect of intellectuality, and I would not say I am addicted to programming. I guess it depends on your perception of a 'geek'. Although I would not mind being considered a geek; would show that people actually think I am a genius, unlike the real thoughts that they have of me, being a lazy git :-D As for the original topic, what is the motion of the actual debate, I fail to see what we are trying to debate and discuss about. :? - Rainbow -

Re: What's your motivation?   Again untrue... I mean are you blind or something? I said I KNOW for a FACT that myself, and one or two others arent interested in the money aspect of coding, and even if you would not believe me that I know those people, I myself am part of the community and if I dont want to make money, then thats not everyone.

Re: What's your motivation?   I dont do it as a job, as I said I am doing it as a side venture. Education for me is the main priority and if I wanted to make money I would get a part time job, as it pays just as good if not better. I watch and I analyse thus improving my skills. I have accomplished enough to be proud of myself of the achievements, and maybe I have more self gratitude, which makes life more enjoyable when you can apprieciate the smaller things, rather than hope for a fairy tail in life. As I said, I think coding is a hobby, and knowing the community is mostly under age and most members attend school which they prioritise on their agenda it makes coding as a hobby for them too.

Re: What's your motivation?   I never spoke about the community as a whole, I was reffering to several individuals. The people I know are here to socialise, have fun and just improve their overall knowledge. Some of the people dont even code here, they make graphics or just post in the community area. I mean its pretty ignorant to say that everyone wants to make money on here - and I cant over rule the initial statement straight away as I am part of the community and I for one am not here to make money, and yes I dont know the community very well at all, however the people I do know, I can assure you, making money through programming is the last thing on the agenda.

Re: What's your motivation?   Maybe it would not be the same and maybe it would not be this popular however the original statement that you posed of none of us would of been here for the money was invalid; as I know for a fact not everyone is here for the money. I was looking for a php community, and I liked this one, as I know some of the people here - and guess what, those people arent really interested in getting the money and its not why they are here. I agree with you, to an extent. However just because people spend money and modifications providing a money flow within the community does not make it a job to create a mod - it can simply be a hobby. Like collecting... I do understand where you are coming from in a sense, but I just wanted some banter and debate going on to liven things up :-P

Re: Block multiple logins That doesnt make any sense. What has your 'style' got to do with the function of the modification. I have not seen it, but from your description you admit it does the job that initially was required to be done. So it is quite bizzare to think where your style comes into this... You wont need to edit it as it does what you specified for, and also he offers support for his modifications so if you had queries you could ask him. Why would you need to even re-code it when it follows the specific details you asked for and is the solution to your problem?   You seem pretty ignorant then, as I tried to do my best to explain. And what you are trying to say is that what I said did not help you at all? Anyway the shared host restriction is not my problem. I dont know how old you are, but it seems to me that you dont seem to grasp the fact that money is money no matter how much the amount, it still has to be earned. And I dont think you should just waste it like that, when you look at the code and not even bother to analyse it and learn from it, and most importantly not use it. But I guess its not my place to intervene, so best of luck finding a script your 'style' - as you will need it, each person has his own. - Rainbow -

Re: What's your motivation? Ok, well firstly... My Introduction, so you know abit about me, before you judge :-)     I am not new to coding nor am I experienced at it. I have been programming many languages over the last three years or so, and I find it interesting and it is my hobby. I think three years is an adequate amount of time to say that I have been in the industry long enough, and I made a fair share of money over the years, a small fortune anyway. I havent owned a succesful game, but that is hardly my interest, I dont want to own a game, I want to be good at PHP and the other languages I have been learning and I want to maximise my potential. Everything I do for me is an achievement, maybe you are on of the people that I mentioned above that are so obssessed with money they neglect all the other things that should matter more in social aspects, education, general interest and fun... I assume you are a full time and qualified programmer then. If so then ofocurse you will be interested in money however it seems to me that you were ignorant enough to jump into the argument and judge me before stopping and thinking what the initial argument and discussion is about, and that is; Cronus stated noone would be here if it was not for the money, and its untrue. I myself am not here for the money, and I know a few other people that arent interested in making a fortune from this either, only to satisfy themselfs. So his statement was incorrect and I just pointed it out and raised my argument. I respect the fact that your proffesional status may be higher than mine, and you may have more experience however that is no reason to pre-judge me when you dont know me. I mean you assume I am new to programming simply because I answered a question and I asked to see if my argument was valid. Because I initially thought Nyna was incorrect and that the speed is only marginally different, but according to her its bigger than that, so I will not argue as her proffesional status is superior to mine.

Re: What's your motivation?   I guess a career in software development is just like any other career, but thats the problem, you fail to realise this community has mostly students in it, so they don't overly rely on work, most that work would probably have a part-time job. To me PHP and other coding, is like having a side venture. I like to think I will have quite a strong academic background, and find work elsewhere, however I will still maintain my interest in programming as for me it is both a HOBBY and a side venture. Its like saying collecting coins isnt a hobby... It is, because over the years value grows thus your making money. I dont know you ofcourse but I would assume there is not a massive age gap between the average of the CE community age and yourself, you are probably around 19? So lets say you study, your full commitment isnt on work and therefore cannot be classed as a job in my opinion, afterall you will go elsewhere for money later on and if you gave up PHP you could probably find a part-time job doing something else, less plessurable that will pay more. But you choose to invest your free time and money on side ventures thus for you too I think it is a hobby - although it ofcourse depends on the freetime and wether you code for fun in it. PHP is fun and challenging for me... I feel much more competent learning more each day, and my hobby is practiced for interest and enjoyment, rather than the financial reward I could get, ofcourse I do like the money :-D. but at the end of the day sustaining my interest in the subject and having a good time whilst expanding my knowledge is more rewarding.   I thought it was the gravity and angular momentum... as for the Internet, its not payed for by the coding. :) - Rainbow -

Re: What's your motivation?   Speak for yourself. Personally I am here to imrpove just to feel that sense of accomplishment and that I achieved something, no matter how big or small the milestone is. Its slightly for my common and general knowledge aswell as for my education, as I am sure some here would also like to become proffesional full time programmers. And I think you got the wrong perception of education, it doesnt have to be you enrolled in a fancy college or university or infact recieving some diploma/certificate on a piece of paper, personally I would value this experience much more and it is possible to achieve more here than there. I think some people are here, like myself for the hunger to learn, attempt a challenge, and just to feel good about yourself - embrace new ways of looking at life, and not always be a miserable guts no matter your circumstances. To be honest I dont understand the obssesion with money, no offense to you, but I got the perception that you are so caught up in money that it pretty much becomes an obsession. Some people around here no matter how much money they earnt they may not neccasarily be as happy as the newbies, because the younger guys around here will be so happy with a release of a modification whilst some of the others who own the bigger websites seem far too occupied wasting time and energy building profitable websites, generally earning money... The fun factor ulimately has to here, and thats the main reason I think. I mean think of it this way, just because you will have more expensive things wont neccasarily make you happy - as happy is a state of mind that you think about you and the enviorment in the surroundings your in, and well the main purpose of CE is to improve and have fun doing it. Not to make money, or atleast not for me. Socialising and generally reputation... Money can be earnt quickly, by more ways than one whilst it takes along time to build a good reputation, but only moments to lose it. People chase after many things, and they often under value the good things that come with relationships which should have our focus and priority. Wether it is an online friend or a real one, socialising is important and again I am here to 'meet' and talk to new people, people that have similar interests in me; I mean thats the whole point of forums isnt it? I didnt mean to sound rude but I think its wrong to go towards your assumption saying we ALL are here for the money... making us seem like obssessed freaks. :-) - Rainbow -

Re: What FTP Client do you use? I use CuteFTP Professional. It provides me the tools adequate enough for tackling the complex challenges of data management and programming that I face from day to day. The security, the speed and the overall simplicity of the software is amazing; and I would recommend it to anyone. Like most I have the legit version and it is payed for. Also I have a test site for most of my websites and I love the FXP feature on it. Allows me to transfer files from one remote server to another, bypassing your computer altogether. This results in a decrease in the amount of time necessary complete the transfer... and in my case time is money :) I tried Smart FTP and that is pretty good, but after the trial ran out I realised no point in purchasing two FTP clients so I stuck to Cute FTP :) - Rainbow -

Re: [Help]Scrollbars   Dude, did he ask for your opinion? All he needs is help... I dont think that having a custom scrollbar is bad at all. Little things make the ordinary and the good stand out, and it is not like you are making the effort to learn something new apart from being a critic without any constructive comments. I mean seriously what is your problem? The guy needs help... If you cant help him, dont help him nor should you critisise him. Anyway. Go to your head and find;   /* scrollbars */ html { scrollbar-base-color: #000000; scrollbar-arrow-color: #FFFFFF; }   and then replace with whatever you want... Just experiment. Sorry about the negative attitude people have here sometimes, they cant help feeling jealous and are ignorant enough to critisise those whom learn when they know shit all themselfs :-) - Rainbow -

Re: Block multiple logins I was answering his question. I think its pointless just giving him the modification as he probably wont even bother to look at it and learn from it. I replied originally to his title and his opening posts which was how to block multiple logins, and I think I gave an adequate explanation :-P https://code.zikula.org/svn/core/tags/P ... r/user.php Press Control + F and search 'added to prevent multiple automated signups' It should be there somewhere, and it will be an easy solution. Although its better to prevent multiple simultaneous logins, as there are circumstances where people may need to create more than one account on a website on the same PC, not necessarily for the wrong reasons. - Rainbow -

Re: Debate   Speed wise it should be irrelevant which one you use... echo is only marginally faster since it doesn't set a return value... There is a difference in the expression of the command. I think that print can be used as part of a more complex expression where echo cannot. print() can only take one parameter... whereas, echo without parentheses can take multiple parameters, which get concatenated. So for example   echo "and a ", 1, 2, 3; // comma-separated without parentheses echo ("and a 123"); // just one parameter with parentheses print() can only take one parameter: print ("and a 123"); print "and a 123";   Or am I wrong?

Re: Block multiple logins Why dont you just save the session id in the database? Lets say for example user 'A' comes to your site and is assigned a session id... If they log in successfuly then save the session id in the database in the users table. Every page they request check that their session id matches the one in the users table. If it doesn't present another log in screen. If they log in successfully then save the new session id in the db. This way only one person can be logged in at one time from one browser on one machine... The Database structure for this particular code the table would probably be something like;   CREATE TABLE `sessions` ( `member_id` INT( 11 ) NOT NULL , `session_id` VARCHAR( 32 ) NOT NULL , `created` TIMESTAMP( 14 ) NOT NULL ) ENGINE = MYISAM ; Not sure... I just done it now, may be wrong. Feel free to correct me. Remember to put it into a seperate file (e.g. check_login.php) and then pull this into the webpages you want to secure using the require() or include() functions so its more conveniant and you can edit it in one page... Unless you want to spend hours editing all scripts :-P - Rainbow -
