Haha, good ol' Luke. Some things never change :D

As I failed to find Discord channel for GL (too confusing for this old grumpy guy, and my helper is not available), I'll leave a word for those who might be interested in giving a hand. I need 1 or 2 people, for layout creation and for some mods for GL engine. As far as it goes, I'm currently running the free version to get myself acquainted with the engine itself (which so far looks very promising (@Dayo, again, excellent work with the engine)), and the request for help goes on the same way, as I get back into coding again (for those who "know me", i'm out of scene for a very long time). If you're interested, please drop me a PM so we can discuss, both ideas and terms. Thank you all. (a small note: I do prefer people that, either I know, or that have their work published and visible here)

And the "kid" hit the nail here! 🙂

Nice to know that finally I'm not alone! 🙂

Couldn't agree more, and despite I'm not as much as an old timer (by a couple years), I do relate to the quoted sentence. Way to go Luke! 🙂

Come on... from the early days of Google translate? Believe me, It is at least 1000 times better. Problem is Base language still has to be English if you do want a "kinda" fair translation.

You could explore the option from google to translate every little sentence according user's preferences, a lot of improvement has been done in the past 10 years on the translations and if base language is English, translations don't come out as bad as they used to. 😉

Haha, considering the amount of us that made the list that don't even code these days... and are mostly inactive on the scene... you might 😉 Anyway, I speak for myself, I don't actually touch in this kind of coding... for the past... 8-10 years, or a little more! Getting old and busy does suck! 😄 😄 😄

Professionally speaking... too much bs, all around SQL, Windows, Clustering and HA solutions. Free time... is that a thing?????

AS far as it concerns to me, i'm almost hitting 2 months (beginning of March) in HO (Home Office) due company recommendation, mandatory from government from 15/3, though the pandemia around here has been dealt with since the beginning. Currently around 7K cases and only 201 deaths as of today. Emergency state declared over a month ago, and it will continue until the end of April, at least. Masks are mandatory, borders are closed, most of the shops are closed, minimal services only working. Just in case you wonder... I'm currently living in CZ, though my native country is Portugal (where covid is hitting quite harder than here, comparing as both countries are pretty much comparable in GDP and population). And if you want to follow up... https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

And hopefully I'll be replaced in a near future 😉

RTFM Kiddo. 😉 Good Luck and yes you can bother anytime (though you know... the most typical answer will be... search by yourself).

IPN is the standard name for Paypal (Instant Payment Notification), if not mistaken, and they do supply a simple IPN sample. https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/ipn/integration-guide/IPNIntro/

@SRB who are you anyway? ?

@MTG, that is exactly the point! ? @Dave, kid is all grown up these days! Thanks ?

  Do you actually care? No comments on that!

most likely because you already have something similar and you need to define the image somewhere

Don't think it is available anymore...

You might get quotes, if you specify the work to be done, other than that... no decent coder will reply to you with a fair/decent quote, and it will be a failed collaboration from the start...

users table is set to global correct? If yes... you are doubleing the effort, once again defeating the purpose of being faster ;)

It is not an error, just fails to serve the purpose... lets imagine this... a user gets in jail for lets say 30 minutes, and lets say the wait[time] is 12345 (fictional value just for explanation), and you are running the job/cron/whatever every single second, it will trigger when time = 12346 which means that in practice... the user will be in jail for 1 second not 30 minutes...

this has a small fail... as it will remove every single user from the wait table, basically... immediatelly after you run it... so no hospital/jail time ;)

Relying on crons... is not actually to the second, and if you are intending to make a cron job for that... means you need to run the cron on every second, which is far less than a good idea. Dayo's idea could work on an ideal world, but then again... it will not be to the second. If you bare to have some minimal delay on a not crowded server, go for Dayo's otherwise you could take a look at Mysql Event Scheduler, it might do the trick you need :). I had a simple article i wrote a few years back in here, but I failed to find it. Nevertheless MYsql docs are pretty much explanatory on those.

Points 2 to 4 are quite critical, yet you, use an external 3rd party to manage servers and push a downtime up to 24hours (but can be way more). Simply... NO. No backups? Hell no. Let me clear a point... an account not being logged on, does not mean the service/account is inactive. it can be running perfectly fine, so no need to log on to the account. sniko made a clear question on point 7 and still you failed to answer, you pointed the versions, fact, but failed to answer if they are the latest or the latest stable. And finally , 24 hours notice for whatever changes you are doing on the server, is simply not acceptable. Too little time... A 3 days old domain, sounds fishy to say the least, speccially if you come here asking for donations. (side note: the name Jay does ring a bell, not for good reasons)
