Hosting Help Pre-installed Scripts Downloading Joomla
pyost replied to Mafamba Team's topic in Web Hosting Support
That should be the root folder, but it obviosly isn't there. You could try connecting through FTP to your site and checking the folder structure. -
Hosting Help Pre-installed Scripts Downloading Joomla
pyost replied to Mafamba Team's topic in Web Hosting Support
Woah, you are moving too fast! First, you have to install Joomla! You use Fantastico for that (at the bottom of cPanel). After doing so, you can log into your administration panel by going to http://www.yourdomain.com/administrator/ (or subdomain). You'll get the hang after that. -
I just looked at the topic, and it is working fine. Also, if you open the TEST forum, it also looks OK. However, if you check it out on the board index (not on the last topics/posts, but next to the TEST forum link), you will see that the topic title is Are The Quotes Really \"forbidden\" In Topic Title ?. That shouldn't be happening...

You are right, since this might be the browser problem. If the updater doesn't deal with the old profiles properly, it can cause a lot of negative opinions on Firefox! Of course, they (the reviewers) would be wrong, but how can an Internet Explorer user know Support Firefox

Hosting Help Pre-installed Scripts Downloading Joomla
pyost replied to Mafamba Team's topic in Web Hosting Support
I use Content Management Systems because they have all the functions an average user needs, while maintaining the simplicity of use. Every piece of content on the web site is controlled through the administration panel, which only the admins have access to, obviously. And that really means everything - from menus to static/dinamic pages!It might seems a bit confusing in the beginning, so I advise you to practice on your own computer (by using XAMMP). Also, do some searching and I'm sure you will find numerous Joomla! tutorials, since this CMS is wide-spread. -
Hosting Help Pre-installed Scripts Downloading Joomla
pyost replied to Mafamba Team's topic in Web Hosting Support
I'm surprised that you have this problem, since I've installed Joomla! a couple of time, and always without any problems. First of all, try deleting the images folder and the .htaccess file manually. That means either from a FTP client (I recommend Total Commander) or cPanel's file manager. If that doesn't work, however, and you get an error, it probably means that you somehow do not have the permissions to delete those two - or better to say, only the server has them. If that's the case, you ought to check out this post, which explains how to deal with those problems. -
While this is true, I must add something, so that there is no confusion and false alarms. As soon as your credit count goes below ZERO, your web site gets suspended. But don't worry - as long as the credit count doesn't drop below -30, you can revive it by going over 0 again. However, if you credit count does go below -30, all the data gets deleted. So be careful!

Form are easiest to make with PHP, and that's how I prefer it.Also, I made an error in my PHP syntax: in the IF conditions, the nubmers should be quoted - so it should be if (select == "0"). Told you it's not perfect
-
First of all, you are missing an '=' sign after "select name" in the second line. I'm no expert when it comes to forms, but shouldn't you fill in the "action" part? After clicking submit, the form should "give" the information to a PHP file, which then deals with the choice, and redirect to the wanted web site. Here's how I would make it. page.html <form name="broker" action="form.php" method="post"> <select name="select"> <option value="0" selected>Select one below...</option> <option value="1">MSN</option> <option value="2">Yahoo</option> </select> <input type ="submit" name="submit" value="Choose"> </form> As you can see, I changed the action and the method, as well as option values. form.php <?php$choice = $_POST['select'];if ($choice == 0) { echo "You haven't chosen anything.<br /><a href=\"java script: history.go(-1)\">Go back</a>";} else { if ($choice == 1 { header( 'Location: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; ); } else { header( 'Location: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; ); }}?> Here we have an IF statement, which deals with the selected option. If the user didn't select anything, he would get a message and a link back to the form. If he/she did select option 1 or 2, the PHP file would redirect the browser to MSN/Yahoo. This might not work, since I googled for most of the code, and assembled it with no PHP knowledge

Can I Get More Bandwidth ? I Have High Traffic !
pyost replied to soleimanian's topic in Web Hosting Support
Yup, this is quite an old discussion. But now that I am here, let me say a few things.As you all know, there are now TWO hosting packages. The bigger one offers 5GB of bandwidth, which should be enough for anyone. However, if an individual finds that his/her site spends more than 5GB/month, it's not a reason to ask for more. It's a pointer that your site is too good to be on a free server.Take me for example. I've started with one web site, and it used to spend only a few hundreds of MB per month. Now I have 3 web sites, and together they spend almost 5GB! Nevertheless, I'm not going to ask for any special treatment, but switch to paid hosting It's as simple as that. -
I wouldn't be worried about that. IE tends to get a little (too) buggy. I also have IE version 6, and I can see the box. Here's an example of the mentioned IE bugginess. On my Joomla! powered web sites, IE doesn't display images inside modules - but just on my computer. All the other people who have IE6 see the image.So, for testing purposes, use Firefox, since it interprets the CSS code properly. After you're done tweaking your site, fire up IE, and see what is being displayed as it should be. IE has always had problems with CSS, so you will probably need to modify the CSS file so the site looks the same in all browsers.

Did you try enlarging the overall font size? That's the only thing I can think of. Hold the CTRL key, and use the mouse wheel to decrease/increase the font size. Maybe it was set that way in the previous version, but the updater didn't remember that attribute

The Importance Of Spelling And Grammar
pyost replied to moonwitch1405241479's topic in Alerts, News & Announcements
Now here's a good thing that can be discussed. Even though many people aren't native English speaker (including me), they still manage to maintain a certain level of grammatical correctness (and I'm so sure this sentence is not correct ). Some might find it to be rather difficult, but they continue learning and improving their language skills. And now, why can't everybody try a bit harder and make their posts easy to read? I can stand a few mistakes, but the worse thing that can happen is to see a post written in bad English, by someone from the USA (for example)! Also, why should anyone be allowed to write "hy, i need hlp lol m mice is not working"? If he/she can't write proper English, he/she should visit forums in his own language. And I'm sure there are always at least a few of those... If you can't help the community, try increasing your knowledge - it doesn't always have to be language knowledge. -
While it would work, it doesn't use CSS nor is it XHTML correct, which is like a standard nowadays.As for your code, lonebyrd, first I have a few suggestions.1. In the HTML code, use all lowercase letters2. Don't put numerous spaces after that <span> tag, as it will be seperated by the CSS3. Always use relative URLs, in case you change the web site address (i.e. get a domain)I don't really see the problem, since it's working (rather) fine for me. I don't know what exactly what you want, but the only real problem I can see is the box width. Auto/nothing obviously sets it to 100%, so you ought to use width: 300px, or some other value. And yeah, you also closed the <p> tag with </align> instead of </p> :)Anyway, if you can draw what you want in Photoshop, I'd be more than glad to make it myself, since that way I improve my skills.

I think it would be best if you did this with CSS. If you already have CSS on your page, it will be easy to adjust. If you don't, just add this code between the <HEAD> tags. <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> Also, you will need to create a file named "style.css" and put it in the same folder as the pages. Now, write the following code in that CSS file (or the existing file, if there is one). .box { width: auto; height: auto; border: 1px solid #FFFFFF; text-align: center;} Now to explain the attributes. Width and height define the box size. It it's on auto, it will "wrap" around the text. You could also write "150px" instead of "auto". Next is the border. You can define its thickness (1px), style (solid - simple line, dotted, dashed etc.) and the colour (#FFFFFF - black). Text-align is obviously used to align the text. There are four options - left, center, right and justify. There are also numerous other attributes that can define a CSS class. In order to use this with you text, instead of putting <fieldset>, write <div class="box">TEXT GOES HERE</div>. As for the spaces problem, it can also be solved through CSS. In the CSS file add this text. .space1 { padding-left: 20px;}.space2 { padding-left: 30px;} The padding-left attribute tells the broser to move the text X pixels from the left border. Again, you can use any value you like. And how is this used? Easily. This would be a piece of text with 20px padding for the 3rd line, and 30px for the fifth. <div class="box"> This is the line number one text.<br /> This is the line number two text.<br /> <span class="space1">This is the line number three text.</span><br /> This is the line number four text.<br /> <span class="space2">This is the line number five text.</span><br /> This is the line number six text. <div> Hope this helps.

Today I learned an interesting way to multiply numbers in school. While it's not practical if you have a calculator, or the numbers are small, it is a quite interesting method. You take two numbers for this operation - I will be using 24 and 56 - that's 1344. In order to use this method, we need to create a two-column table. On the top of the left column write one number, and on the top of the right the other one. Then start dividing the left number by 2 (if it's an odd number, reduce it by 1 - 12 instead of 13) and multiplying the right by 2 at the same time. You would get something like this: 24 | 56 12 | 112 6 | 224 3 | 448 1 | 896 0 | 1792 Now, cross out every line that has an even number in the left column. 24 | 56 12 | 112 6 | 224 3 | 448 1 | 896 0 | 1792 Now add up the numbers in the right columns, the ones that are not crossed out. 448+896=1344. Interesting, huh? There is also Russian division, but I'm not quite into that one Also, I will try to put up how this works as soon as possible. Or if someone else would like to do that, be my guest

Hehe, I guess I was just lucky. But that's nothing compared to how much certain keywords pay. For example, a few months ago "mesothelioma" ads were worth around 50 dollars per click. And at the moment, they are between 70 to 80 dollars!!! I don't even know what that is (it does have something to do with cancer), and people are ready to pay large amounts of money for advertising with this keyword. Now I wish my web site were about mesothelioma

There really isn't much that needs more developing. I can only think of four things, out of which two are not that imporatant. 1. Increasing the database size - while it does recognize a vast number of songs, I can bet that not even half of the existing songs are listed. It is hard to do, but constant database improvents would really mean a lot. Come to think about it, they probably do update the database regularly. 2. Better recognition - the software is stated to easily recognize singing parts, but it's not that good with instrumentals. I think this could also be improved, since not all songs have singing parts. 3. Adding more options - the program is small and handy, which is good, but it also lacks a few important options, such as reading songs from the hard drive. 4. Developing an "offline database" -as austiniskoge said, this would be another needed improvent, but I can't image how big that addon module (because it would have to be optional) would be.

While it all does seem properly done, I believe that the reason is quite simple.Let's do the same thing with another example.i = -2i^2 = 4i^4 = 16 /// squaring both sidesThat gives us this:i=4th sqrt(16), which equals 2. Or does it? These types of equasions [x=sqrt(a), a>=0] have two solutions. Those are [sqrt(a)] and [-sqrt(a)].That way you get two solution for i: 1 and -1 There's no catch, you were just playing with the wrong result

That's really sad I really liked his shows.. I can't imagine how hard this is to his wife..Rest in pice, Irwin

Yes, this really is a nice layout. As KDEWolf said, you could get around 100 dollars for it, if not even more, which is a good amount. And that's just the template. For the scripting part, you could also charge a decent amount - I'd say about 150 dollars. When you perfect your skills and make some web sites for free, so that people can see your work, the job will come itself

It doesn't matter where you are from, but what you have on your web site. If it's in Polish, you will probably have less worth ads being displayed. That also goes for content - if it's a wide-spread topic, you will have high-paying ads. I believe that an normal amoun would be anywhere from 20 to 50 cents, but I was once paid 2 dollars for a single click! So it varies, a lot. Of course, there are numerous ways of increasing your adsense revenue, but googling will tell you more than this post. Just be careful about the ads appearence and positioning, as they affect the visitors of your web site.

Photoshop Tutorial: How To Make A Userbar For Signatures
pyost replied to pyost's topic in Graphics, Design & Animation
You have to install the font first. Once it is installed on your computer, it will be available in Photoshop, too. In order to install a font, go to Control Panel > Fonts. Then open the File menu, click "Install new fonts", and find the font file. -

As I said, it's a Visitor -BRK- font. A simple Google search gave me this link: http://www.webpagepublicity.com/free-fonts-v2.html. There you can find this font (it's free). @cyborgxxi Userbars are good because they are simple to create, but show you how to use several Photoshop options. I started off with this tutorial, and now I have a lot more knowledge - this one gives you a good head start -
