How To Display XX Users Online On Your Site ?
szupie replied to valcarni's topic in Websites and Web Designing
I Googled around and found a solution. It requires PHP, which you'll be able to use if you're hosted here. Anyway, here's the code: Source: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ The MAX_IDLE_TIME is counted in minutes. Basically, this code starts a session for every visitor of your site, and then, when the page is being processed, it counts the total number of sessions and outputs the number. -
How Long Does It Take For Hosting Approval ?
szupie replied to valcarni's topic in Web Hosting Support
To make the answer shot: usually about 5 days. It is possible to get a response within 24 hours if you're lucky, but that only happens occasionally. -
Yeah, I think Jeigh was right, he turned off all the light in the world and everyone died because of that?I've got one, but it's not really a calculation problem:How many animals of each gender did Moses take on the Ark?

I don't know how you buy a domain, but after you've bought it, you have to go to its configuration manager thing, and point it to ns1.astahost.com as nameserver #1 and ns2.astahost.com as nameserver #2. You also have to configure your own server to accept the domain, but I'm assuming that you already know how to do that with cpanel.

One word. Internet. Explorer. No, just kidding . I use Firefox because it's open source and because I feel very safe using it. I've heard that Opera is the fastest browser. I've tried Opera before, but it didn't give me a good impression when I used it. That might be because it had banner ads on the top. But that was removed last September, so I don't know if it'll feel better than Firefox now.

A New One - "Google Page Creator"
szupie replied to dhanesh1405241511's topic in Websites and Web Designing
I dunno, I guess they just have too many empty servers, and they want to use all the extra resources . Gmail's free space makes sense, since they display ads in the page when you're reading your mails. But Page Creator doesn't. Maybe it's just a promotion to get more people to know about Google (even though virtually everyone in the world knows Google). -
A New One - "Google Page Creator"
szupie replied to dhanesh1405241511's topic in Websites and Web Designing
I tried logging in with my Google account yesterday, but they wouldn't even let in people who are already members. It told me wait just like everybody else, so I said, "You know what, **** it," because it didn't give me special privileges. But seriously... Since they say they're heavily used, I decided not to get in the waiting list, because I wouldn't really use it once I get my spot. But I still want to see what it looks like. Unfortunately, they didn't let us see a sample page. If anyone has access, could you link me so I can see how it looks? -
Wait... Didn't Google Pack already include Norton AntiVirus and Ad-Aware from the start? When I posted the first topic (which m^e didn't reply to) about Google Pack, I remember they were part of Google Pack. Did you mean that Google updated these programs to a newer version? Yes, Norton AV is only for a free trial. techocian pointed this out in his reply. I've tried anti-virus programs before, but I didn't find them to be useful at all. Are they really able to detect viruses and remove some of them?

External XUL Files How to include them inside a main XUL files
szupie replied to szupie's topic in Programming
Actually, I can't use PHP for the pages I'm making. It won't be hosted on my server. I can only JavaScript and XUL.But if I could use PHP, I would have done what you suggested too. -
I'm creating an XUL page that contains many sections. To keep the coding looking clean, I decided to separate them into different files. I used iframes to do this. However, when I use an iframe, the external XUL files all have to have their own doc-type, style-sheets, all those other declarations, and worst of all, their own JavaScript files. The JavaScript functions in the different XUL files are not carried over to the main XUL file, which means they cannot interact with each other. So, is there any other way to include external XUL files? The main requirement I'm looking for is that their JavaScript codes should be able to interact with each other.

There's another very compact software that you can use. It's called MiniApache_PHP, which can be found here. In case the link doesn't work (which it often doesn't; the author server almost never goes online), I've uploaded the zip file onto my server. It is here: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/. The readme is included in the zip.

What's The Dirt On Your Mouse ? What Is It Called ? What is that?
szupie replied to szupie's topic in General Discussion
Wow, it seems like you guys care more about these mouse poops than I do. Since no one ever discussed this with me, I've never really formally cleaned the poop. I only scratch parts of it off the mouse/table when it becomes too annoying.Whoever comes up with a formal name of it might get a nobel prize. -
What's The Dirt On Your Mouse ? What Is It Called ? What is that?
szupie replied to szupie's topic in General Discussion
That's exactly what I thought they were. Does anyone know what they are called? -
I've always been wondering about this: what are those pieces of mud-like substance on mouses? Every mouse everywhere has this, but I've never heard anyone discuss about it. They get stuck on the mouse and gives the mouse a rough texture. Does anyone know what they're called, and where they come from?

How To Get Two Web-forms To Work Together ?
szupie replied to NewGuyinTown's topic in Websites and Web Designing
You could create a process.php that processes all the data from the forms, and then distributes them to the appropriate pages. You can use the include() statement to do that. When I was writing the code, I was disgusted by the idea of static and repetitive input boxes too. But I couldn't come up with a better way to do it. You can use PHP to generate the input boxes, but I don't have any good ideas on how to do that. My mind is too clouded right now.But under what circumstances will your number of input boxes suddenly change? Shouldn't it be the same every time? I agree that a static amount of boxes is bad coding, but I still want to know what you were talking about. -
How To Get Two Web-forms To Work Together ?
szupie replied to NewGuyinTown's topic in Websites and Web Designing
Can you give us an example of what your site looks like. I think it might be possible to put your table inside one form to make the coding easier. However, if that's not possible, you could use javascript to combine 2 forms into one. Since normal pages won't accept 2 forms at once, you can create a third form that's hidden from the user, and it will take the data from the 2 forms and submit it as one. First, create a hidden form where you want the submit button to be. The visitors will only be able to see the submit button, not the inputs. <form name="hidForm" action="the page you want to submit the data to" method="post/get" onsubmit="return submitForm();"><input type="hidden" name="value1" /><input type="hidden" name="value2" /><input type="hidden" name="value3" /><input type="hidden" name="value4" />...<input type="submit" /></form> I'll assume that your other 2 forms have the names "form1" and "form2" (<form name="form1"> and so on). They should not have submit buttons. Then, for the javascript code: function submitForm() { var hiddenForm = document.hidForm; var form1 = document.form1; var form2 = document.form2; hiddenForm.value1 = form1.value1; hiddenForm.value2 = form1.value2;... hiddenForm.value5 = form2.value1; hiddenForm.value6 = form2.value2; hiddenForm.value7 = form2.value3;}This code will take all the data and put them in the hidden form before it is submitted. If there is an error in the script, it will not submit. Of course, the names for the inputs of the hidden form can be changed to a more descriptive name. I'm just giving you the basic idea for how to do this. -
Photoshop Tutorial: Basic Facial Photo-manipulation
szupie replied to pyost's topic in Graphics, Design & Animation
Really helpful tutorial. I've always wanted to know how to soften people's skin with Photoshop. Isn't there another way to do it too, by just using a brush?History brush was kinda a new thing to me. I've only learned about it a few weeks ago, so I'm lucky that I know about it before I've read this, or I would have been very confused with how to us it. For those who can't find the History brush, it's the button right under the normal brush.What did you do when you "beautified" the eyebrows? The only change I noticed was that they became a little bit thinner afterwards. Is there anything else that has to be done to beautify the eyebrows? -
Here's my finished product, after years of hard work. It shall revolutionize the way people think about IPB skins: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ OK, Feburary Fools. I did this this morning, in about 3 hours. I tried to give it a really retarded look, but I've failed in many places (like at the picture of the wooden board and the nice looking stick figures). It must be because my great graphics skillz doezn't let me make ugly stuff . You could include this skin as an option if you want, for the people who want to see this board in a really f****d-up way.

I've had this problem many times too. When you bought the laptop, even if you didn't get any documentation, it should give you a bunch of disks in case you need to reinstall something on your computer. See if there's a disk that was made by the company that made your computer. That disk should include all the drivers your laptop needs. You just need to install the audio drivers and see which one works.

You could also do this with css: First, the html code: <p id="firefox">This site will self destruct in 10 seconds if you don't get Firefox</p> Now, the css code (could be embedded or included in an external file): #firefox { display: none;}* html #firefox { display: inline;} Every css-capable browser would pick up the first style, which would hide the paragraph with the "firefox" id. Then, in the next style, since the extra asterisk makes the css invalid to Firefox (and possibly many other browsers), Firefox will ignore it and keep the paragraph invisible. But since IE is so weird and still accepts the second style, it'll change the paragraph back to visible.

Living Room PC Getting Low To No Wireless Signal
szupie replied to WeaponX's topic in Computer Networks
OK, I've fixed my problem. I found out that, for the past few months, I have been connecting to others' wireless routers in the nearby apartments... That was weird...WeaponX, how many connections do you see when you scan for them? You might be connecting to the wrong one if you can find multiple networks in your scan. But maybe you're not stupid like me to connect to the wrong networks. -
It's got a lot of functions, but it lacks compatibility with the taskbar the system already has. Intuitiveness: After I first downloaded and started it, it pushed my whole screen to the right because it docked itself on the left side of the screen. I right-clicked it to look for a way to undock it, but I couldn't find it. I tried the "Add new bar", and that duplicated another one of the bar docked in the same spot, and I couldn't close it. So I had to "Close All Bars", then start the program again. Then, I tried dragging it somewhere else, but it didn't hint to me that it really works (the default taskbar does that by creating an outline of a box at the place it's going to), so I couldn't do it at first. Finally, I figured out that dragging does work, after a few minutes. Customizability: The buttons aren't customizable at all. I can't change the position of the time, I can't remove the buttons, and I especially don't like the Start button. When I have this program open, I get 2 start buttons. If I click any one of them, the menu will first pop up as it would normally, but then, it'd suddenly pop away to the place where the program's start button is. Very annoying. Compatibility: Since the bar isn't customizable, the quick launch bar which I often use in my normal taskbar cannot be added to this. Also, after I've change the position of the bar and exit from the program, it will go back to its default spot, which is docked at the left. Features: This is the best part of the program, and I think that is what the developers intended it to be too. You can drag different task buttons to do a couple of things. You can drag it right next to another item on the bar to reorder it, just like the feature that Firefox and many other browsers have. If you drag the task on top of another task button or group, you would place them in one group, and you can minimize, maximize, etc. all of the windows in the group together. Also, when they are in a group, you can place all the windows on your screen in 3 selectable kinds of grid system, which could be useful when you have the need to see multiple windows at once. I like the drag and drop feature a lot. But since it doesn't fit into my system very well, I'd suggest that you only download it to try out the cool features it has. Open it only when you have a special job to do, and it should be beneficial to your tasks (ooh, a pun).
