Spectre

This is The Vent. You have to expect a certain amount of controversy to happen here, and it is mostly unmoderated. Pretty much anything goes here, and you are not going to get banned for saying anything in this particular forum (as long as it is within the limits shown). If you want to continue any disputes, then fine - if you don't want too anymore, then just walk away. I'll reserve my opinion on this particular issue.

The admin and wassie - along with the help of the more recently recruited admins (including Zenchi, prodigy, and Rival) - have been taking care of the forums latelyy without any help whatsoever from me. So I don't really deserve any credit. Thanks anyway, odomike.

Has anyone else ever heard of the infamous Maddox? I've been a reader for a while now. I check it every 3 minutes for updates (although they only happen every month, minimum). You should read some of the articles on The Best Page in the Universe. Just be warned - some, no, all of it is pretty offensive, and inappropriate for younger viewers. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone aged under 15[ish]. I found most of them incredibly funny, in a very sick and twisted way.

You have to give the files an extension that has been set to be passed along to the PHP engine. This is done within the Apache configuration file (httpd.conf), and can be done within cPanel under 'Apache Handlers'. I like to associate my .html files with PHP, so that I can give all pages a .html extension. But that's just me.

Because the header() function sends raw headers, it has to be called before any other data is sent to the client - eg. via the echo() or printf() functions. My guess is that the script top.php (which is being called first) is sending some kind of output - you will have to cancel this if you want to send headers. greenmask's example should work fine.

We have a new assistant admin at the boards - prodigy. Welcome aboard.Time is a bit of a luxury that me and the root admin don't really have a lot of just at the moment, so Zenchi, wassie and prodigy will be primarily looking after the forums for the time being. Be good to them, people -Spectre.

You can change MySQL login information in cPanel, under 'MySQL Databases'.

The login name is whatever you orignally applied for. It isn't changed when your domain name is.And please keep all posts to the correct forums.*Thread moved.

The mail servers are both mail.yourdomain.com.*Added to hosted usergroup.

I think it's pretty much impossible to get a free domain name now days. But they certainly aren't expensive - you can get them for around $7.There have been websites in the past that have provided free top-level domain names to people who agree to put their ads on their site, but most or all of them have since fallen through.

As most of you would know, UNI.CC provide a free domain name (it is actually just a subdomain that makes use of DNS) in the form of yourname.uni.cc. A lot of people seem to be having trouble with these, so here is a quick How-To on setting up a UNI.CC domain name. Go and register your UNI.CC domain name at their website. You can select anything you want, just as long as it isn't already taken/reserved. Once your account has been created, select the 'DNS' option under 'Choose a Service'. Once you get into the configuration, select 'NS (For external name servers)', and then enter ns1.trap17.com as Nameserver #1, and ns2.trap17.com as Nameserver #2. Then click 'Update DNS Record'. This is the tricky part - you now have to wait about 24 hours (it can take anywhere from 12 to 72 hours, but it usually takes around 24) for the DNS configuration to propagate. After you have given sufficiant time for the DNS configuration to be fully propagated accross the Internet, you need to park your domain in cPanel. This can be done either under 'Parked Domains', or 'Add-On Domains'. The difference is that a parked domain will point to the root of your site, therefore allowing you to have multiple domain names that lead to the same site - an add-on domain will create a whole new directory that is only accessible via that domain, and hence creating a whole new site. Note that if you are unable to park your domain name with your Trap 17 hosting account, try waiting another day or two - if it still doesn't work, then please direct your questions to UNI.CC support, as we have no control over how their services operate. Hope this helps.

You have to make at least 10 good posts before you can apply for hosting. After you reach this count, have a look in the 'Request Hosting' forum. New hosting applications aren't currently being created, due to some problems we've been having. So you might have to wait a bit.

Also make sure that the warning is displayed well before any of the content in the games can be viewed. For example, have one page that contains a warning, as well as a link that allows the visitor to view the content if they wish.

You could use something like this: <?php[br][/br]$newsfile = "news-file";[br]// Assuming you are using a flat-file to store your news,[/br]// replace 'news-file' with the path to it[br][/br]if(!isset($_GET['act'])) {[br] $act = "view";[/br]} else {[br] $act = $_GET['act'];[/br]}[br][/br]if(isset($_POST['news'])) {[br] $file = fopen($newsfile,"w");[/br] $data = $_POST['news'];[br] fputs($file,$data);[/br] fclose($file);[br] echo "News saved.";[/br] exit;[br]}[/br] [br][/br]if($act == "edit") {[br] $data = file_get_contents($newsfile);[/br] echo "<form name=\"editnews\" method=\"post\" action=\"script.php\">\n";[br] echo "<textarea name=\"news\">" . $data . "</textarea>\n";[/br] echo "<input type=\"submit\" name=\"save-news\" value=\"Save\"></form>";[br]} elseif($act == "view") {[br] $data = file_get_contents($newsfile);[/br] echo $newsfile;[/br]}[br][/br]?> Note that I just threw this script together for the sake of this post, and haven't tested it yet. Feel free to use / edit it as you wish.

What are you referring to, exactly? The Google search engine, Google Mail (Gmail), or some other service they offer?

*Thread moved.

*Thread closed. I think we understand what the Warning System is now.

Just another note that this is only change manually, by admins or moderators. You cannot change it yourself, and it cannot be changed by other members (apart from those mentioned).Also, the Warning System is seperate to the Reputation Level. They are positioned on above the other, so it might be confusing at a glance - but the reputation level is shown above the warning system.

Just a side note that for deleting large file and directory structures (such as that which are used by complete applications, like IPB or PHPMyChat), it is better to use the File Manager that is a part of cPanel. As this sends commands directly to the local server, extensive directory structures can be removed instantly. Because an FTP client acts seperately from the server, it has to filter through all the directories and enumerate all existing files and folders to delete them one by one.
