  1. I've had several discouraging replys in my website post about the use of <iframe> and frames in general. So far to me it's the only option of having static elements in my pages (meaning as in having a navigation and header and so it doesnt have to refresh every pagelink you visit)Now because of those discouraging notes, i am wondering if theres another way of achieving this? (and for the record, i couldnt think of a good searchterm for google...most came out on the non-frame section of a frameset..)Hopefully thanks in advance
  2. I am working on a new header (including navigation), what do you guys think of the header so far (it is not finished yet)
  3. Why do you want feedback on a site thats: -completely coded by PHP-Nuke (so no coding on your side) -completely designed by a 3rd party (Disipal and all the extra coding, such as the time and such, was included in the skin aswell) So far it seems you havent done any effort to make this site yours by adding youw own images/skin design anything. I hope you will do some effort..
  4. what do you think? and what could be improved?
  5. Thanks for the feedback guysSo should i aim my header more to the footerstyle?*and there shouldnt be a gap between the header and the navigation..You're saying i should avoid iframes. Could you give me a suggestion on how to achieve a same result though? Cause I want my header/nav/side-images/footer to stay passive while the content changes, so that the page doesnt have to reload fully every click you make..(Thats the main reason for using the <iframe>, but if you have a better suggestion, i'm all ears )Ill work on a navigation that fits more to the footer..ill be waiting for some suggestions on the header :lol:and once again, thanks for the feedback!
  6. I have updated and changes some things on my humble website now, i took advantage of a little preload&rolloverscript i had on my comp for AGES (even made a first part of the projects section now..the script as a tutorial ) and its very easy too :lol:Any additional comments on how to improve my site?
  7. ok, ive made the changes, found out that the imageready html needs all a href attributes to display properly :(I find it too big now, but its well readable
  8. By the way, the header is made with PS+ImageReady, im working on getting this into flash (the size is 130kb in .gif right now...bit overdone ) *sorry for the second post*
  9. I dont know if this works perfectly, but i did something similar with my chat. First, when your setting the variable for the users message input: $usermessage //for example you filter it with the badwords function, giving: $usermessage=badwords($usermessage); then somewhere else (for comfort in the same page) make a bad words filter array Function badwords($post){$badwords=array( '*BLEEP*'=>"$$$$", '*BLEEP*'=>"%$%#", '*BLEEP*'=>"^&^%", '*BLEEP*'=>"@#$#", '*BLEEP*'=>"@$#@", //you can easily expand your array ); $post=str_replace(array_keys($badwords), array_values($badwords), $post); return $post; } Like i said, this is a small amount of code ive taken from my chat but it works great, you can edit it to fit your needs.
  10. <a href="http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; target="content" onmouseover="changeImages('nav_Home', 'images/nav_Home-over.gif'); return true;" onmouseout="changeImages('nav_Home', 'images/nav_Home.gif'); return true;" onmousedown="changeImages('nav_Home', 'images/nav_Home-over.gif'); return true;" onmouseup="changeImages('nav_Home', 'images/nav_Home-over.gif'); return true;"> Thats the generated code of Imageready rollover slices, but ill see what i can do with onmousedown and the onmouseup lines Ill change the navigation height to either 40px or maybe even 50px instead of the now 30px, see what it does ^^. And enlarging the zone? Ill see what i can do.. Thanks for the feedback guys, ill return when i made the changes ^^
  11. I uploaded a new header wich does tell a bit more about my portfolio site (the animation of my projects, Java, PHP, and more.....lol)And should a portfolio site have a name?:lol:I only set onmouseover values, and they should turn reddish..they do for meTook out the iframe for the navigationAnd are the buttons not readable? I think the visitor doesnt have a hard time to read Home|Projects|About me|Contact do they? Anyone else got problem with the font size? i can adjust em ^^..if needed (I kinda like them this size )
  12. Err, i clicked the link and the navigation seems to be screwed up the first time you visit the page -.- damn frame scrollbars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  13. Since i had my Xisto account i think i have been working on a dozen different sites...and guess what all unfinished..lol Anyway, to keep track of my little projects i started (and will be finishing!) my portfolio site I have created everything myself, no copied material Anyway, I would like to have some feedback http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ (i might make it my portal page for all the other sites) By The way, does anyone agree with me that the "content" (where all the content will be) should have a greyish background? I think its too much white, but id like to keep the body white, a change for all the black backgrounds i always use I love all comment, so shoot
  14. lil_chris You broke 2 important rules in that 1 post Insulting fellow members and posting whats considered spam.. Hope a mod does something about that.. Anyway Cheri, I would say giving the visitor/user a selection box, enabling them to choose a trailer, also, it's important to choose wich streaming player your gonna use, because many users have different video players, The most common one would be Windows Media Player Using windows media player calls in for the following code: (sorry for not using code, i cant seem to use colors in the code tag, that is why i dont use the tag.. <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Embedded Windows Media Player</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <OBJECT ID="MediaPlayer" WIDTH=320 HEIGHT=240 CLASSID="CLSID:22D6f312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" STANDBY="Loading Windows Media Player components..." TYPE="application/x-oleobject" CODEBASE= "http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; <PARAM name="autoStart" value="True"> <PARAM name="filename" value="http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; <EMBED TYPE="application/x-mplayer2" SRC="http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/" NAME="MediaPlayer" WIDTH=320 HEIGHT=240> </EMBED> </OBJECT> </BODY> </HTML> Legend: red: Not to be edited green: can be edited to fit your needs orange: optional (not necessary) blue: path to your streaming video codebases for Quicktime and Realplayer can be found here as for your options, I would suggest you use a piece of PHP code to make it work right(sorry php is one of my only "good" programming languages) Step 1 Each of your steaming videos need their own page to make it function properly, so for example, you have a streaming video of, i dont know...50cents You would then make a page called 50cents.html and in that page you put the basecode for your embedded player (if its windows media player, here you go): <HTML><HEAD><TITLE>50cents videoclip</TITLE></HEAD><BODY><OBJECT ID="MediaPlayer" WIDTH=320 HEIGHT=240CLASSID="CLSID:22D6f312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"STANDBY="Loading Windows Media Player components..."TYPE="application/x-oleobject"CODEBASE="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=6,4,7,1112"><PARAM name="autoStart" value="True"><PARAM name="filename" value="http://WebServer/MyFile.wvx"><EMBED TYPE="application/x-mplayer2"SRC="http://your-domain.com/50cents.wmv"NAME="MediaPlayer"WIDTH=320HEIGHT=240></EMBED></OBJECT></BODY></HTML> When you made several videoclips pages, go to step 2.. Step 2 Ok, now open the page in wich you want to display the clips. it would be smart to either use a <iframe> or a popup to display your clips, in this example, we use the iframe <iframe src="clips.php"></iframe> clips.php <?php$clip1="50cents";$clip2="christina";$clip3="jarule";// etcetera..print "<select><option value=$clip1>50cents</option><option value=$clip2>Christina</option><option value=$clip3>JaRule</option></select>";if($clip1){include("50cents.html");}if($clip2){include("christina.html");}if($clip3){include("jarule.html");}else { echo "Sorry, an error occured"; }?> I am not sure about this code tho, but thats because im a newbie *off-topic* Leuk een mede-nederlander te zien hier in Xisto en succes!
  15. Since I am working on a game wich uses frames and getting experience with it, i thought, a tutorial! Frame Basics Frames are a feature that can have great effects, you can separate the term frames into 2 objects, <frame> and <iframe>. Whats the difference? Frames are more or less an ancient feature from internet explorer and have not been updated much, the iframe on the other side is a much newer version of frames meaning they also have some advantages above normal frames. For example, the <iframe> can be embedded in tables and div tags. the <iframe> can also be nested into each other and create the term floating frame and give the user a userfriendly way of including frames in their pages, heres a visual example: This is usual standard frame setup: And this an example of an iframe setup: You can see the difference. Either frames have the special feature of acting as a static/separate page, you can insert a refresh line in your frame and it will only refresh the <iframe> or the <frame>. Frames are usually the basics of webchatrooms, shoutboxes jukeboxes etcetera. Thats whats making frames so great Coding.. both frame objects are coded in a really different way and can even be combined. Lets start out with standard frames, wich are usually the ones that need the most coding.. This is how a framed page has to be setup, ill explain it all clearly after it <frameset rows="75, 575, 150" frameborder="no" framespacing="0" border="0"><frame name="header" src="header.html"><frameset cols="180, *"><frame name="navigation" src="navigation.html"><frame name="content" src="content.html"><frameset><frame name="footer" src="footer.html"></frameset></frameset></frameset>looks like alot of code and basically it gives this result: Explanation: <frameset rows="75, 575, 150" frameborder="no" framespacing="0" border="0">this line created a frameset with the heights that the frames from top to bottom have to be, header.html is 75px, content/navigation.html are 575px height and the footer is 150px in height. Then you basically see 3 attributes that are the same, it removes the border around the specified frames, the 3 same attributes have only 1 purpose, telling every browser to remove the borders. Unfortunately, Netscape, Internet Explorer and all the others need their own "no-border" attribute. so if you want to have your framesets function properly in every browser, use all 3 attributes.. <frame name="header" src="header.html">this line creates the actual frame for the header, naming your frames is well important for later on, when you make your links <frameset cols="180, *">this additional frameset IN the first frameset is only meant for the frames that follow, so the header and footer do not deal with this frameset, it creates the frameset for the navigation and content, cols is the width, in opposite to rows, wich is height, the frame that starts in this frameset gets the property of 180px width, the frame that follows after that gets the rest.If you would wanna have an additional frame next to the content, all you need to do is edit this line by adding a comma and the width you want, as an addition you need to specify a width for the content, resulting in this: <frameset cols="180, 500, *"> wich gives the content 500px width instead of the remaining px of the screen. <frame name="navigation" src="navigation.html"><frame name="content" src="content.html">these 2 lines create the frames for navigation.html and content.html, not much to explain <frameset><frame name="footer" src="footer.html"></frameset></frameset></frameset>here it creates another frameset, so that the frame following doesnt deal with the frameset of navigation and content, after creating the frame footer.html you of course have to close all framesets, remember, you can't close a frameset WITHIN a frameset, so all closings go at the end. Thats what you need to frame a page using standard frames. Of course you have to tweak your pages with the by you defined widths and heights, else it would display horizontal AND vertical scrollbars, doesnt look neat.. Also, very important, is to make a nonframed page too, for users/browsers that dont support frames: <noframe><body>your content</body></noframe> Now for the iframe, im keeping it short, because it IS short. The following is not necessary but gives me the option to explain it globally to you <table width="100%" height="100% border="0"><tr><td>now the first iframe <iframe name="shoutbox" src="shoutbox.php" frameborder="0" width="300" height="400"><!-- content for non-supporting browsers -->...--!></iframe><iframe name="advertisement" src="advertisement.html" frameborder="0" width="300" height="400"><!-- content for non-supporting browsers -->...--!></iframe>close the table.. </td></tr></table> looks like very few code and gives this result: Explanation: <table width="100%" height="100% border="0"><tr><td>like i said, this isnt necessary, but it gives the idea of having iframes in a table, of course you can make multiple tables and make mroe tables have iframes, no problem. <iframe name="shoutbox" src="shoutbox.php" frameborder="0" width="300" height="400">This creates the iframe for your shoutbox, the name is obvious, as it all works the same way as standard frames, same as src. Frameborder is the only attribute you need to tell every browser it doesnt want borders and the ease of using the usual width= and height= is very nice <!-- content for non-supporting browsers -->...--!></iframe>As with the <noframes> you need a backend code for non-frame supporting users/browsers, and of course the closing of your iframe, the other iframe works the same way and the table closings are self-explanatory too.. Now for a great feature of both frames...framelinking. As said before, the great advantage of frames is having a static partial page, also meaning that you can put a link (a href) and target it to another frame...an example <a href="news.html" target="content">News!</a> or <a href="othershoutbox.php" target="shoutbox">Second Shoutbox!</a> you can put the link ANYWHERE on your page and it will open the link in the target you specified, if you have the link in your navigation, it will open the link in your content frame, with the benefit of ONLY the content frame being loaded, same with the shoutbox link Attribute List You can use the following attributes with both frame sorts: Name--Specify a name that can act as target for a link Src--Specify the frame source page Frameborder="1"/"0"/"no"--Specify frameborder size The following attributes are used in the style attribute style=" margin-width: ?px;--Specify margin between top/bottom border(visible or not) and the embedded file margin-height: ?px;--Specify margin between left/right border(visible or not) and the embedded file frameborder: ?px solid/groove/outset/etc.. #color;--Customize the frameborder(if visible) Hope this was explained clear enough If you still got a question, ill try to answer it
  16. Could this member please get an answer?
  17. I have made a small piece of code for a java chat and i need a port to connect to, i tried the cpanel display (2082) and port 21(as seen in many posts when using search), but both seem to give errors in the chat, in the sense of displaying really strange things (html code for cpanel and for port 21 it continuously returns 500 ?). I have installed the chat the following way: base root directory/chat-folder/chat-client/webpages/chat-client12.html (wich is in the same directory as where www/public_html and public_ftp are located) and public_html/chat-folder/chat-client/webpages/chat-client12.html I was able to locate the server ip (as shown in cPanel) but all i need is a valid port to connect to...is there any way? (and no i dont wanna use phpmychat or cgi-chat)
  18. Please if anyone can design the droids, equipment and things like that for this game, please contact me, I desperately need one because im no good at graphics
  19. logging on...All seems to be working fine now :lol:Thanks for the quick support, extra kudos for that
  20. Welcome to phpMyAdmin 2.6.1-pl2Wrong username/password. Access denied.I am logged into my cPanel and just click phpmyadmin and it gives me this..I even relogged in twice too
  21. I am looking for a decent droid designer that can also make good ai chips, and everything that comes with it.Why?I am working on a game called Artificial Evolution, it is going to be a browser game where players have a droid and level this in patrolling and killing enemys, evolution because the droid will be morphing at certain levels.Unfortunately I can't show any good ingame screenshots because I am just starting and because i am trying so hard to create my own images, but im no good at that, this is why im asking for a decent droid/equipment designer, what you get? Credits to you as i can't offer money or anything of that kind, i want to minimize the ads in the game, but the profit of that will be divided :lol:Reply hereore-mail: thehmmz@gmail.commsn: damn2uall@hotmail.comaim: TheHmmZ
  22. an internet adres would be nice to add
  23. Yes the easiest solution would be stacking up your hosting credits, if your going away for 30 days, i suggest you stack your hosting creds up to 40+, to just make sure it all goes right
  24. Hype you apparently haven't read properly, what he wants is a login form that is connected to his forum, meaning that when a user registers, it will be registered for both his forum and his website, logging in would then also be connected to both.I do know from experience that the average forum has their login and register procedure widely spread over their files, meaning it would take a whole lot of time to do this on your own, so the best guess is googlingsearch term that you could use:[your_forum_name] external login[your_forum_name] login form somewhere elsejust think logically with google
  25. Well, to flatter Shimich (hihi!) I have used the effect on my new site logo (WOO!)
