  2. I have written a short tutorial for you here http://forums.xisto.com/topic/25640-how-to-use-Xisto-cgi-formmail-a-built-in-script-in-every-hosting/When you open TXT file you can open and save to DOC file type. That's not hard. There are other free scripts you can download and install it in your hosting but why not use the free one if it serves your purpose, right? You can search for more by typing FORMMAIL. Sure, we have the tutorial section with 4 formmail tutorials. Remember that you can search for topics. That's why writing the correct title and description is VERY IMPORTANT to this forum (it's also TOS--terms of service). One thing off the topic: Please refrain from using unnecessary spaces between your sentences. Otherwise it will look terrible and waste of space. Thank you.
  3. This tutorial is using Xisto hosting's built-in script called cgiemail. There are several hundreds of free scripts you can download and install it yourself but why not use what is already provided for you, if all you need is a simple submit and data collection? Let's begin. There are three things you need to remember: 1) you can rename the file however you'd like 2) two files (which I'll name them submitForm.html and template.txt) must be in the same directory 3) first two lines in template.txt must EXIST. Write your submitForm.html (where you write a HTML page to let a visitor enter your desired information) and include the following (an example) <form method="POST" action="http://name.trap17.com/cgi-bin/cgiemail/directory/template.txt" name="myform" > <input type="hidden" name="addendum" value="Thank you. If you are seeing this page, you should be contacted within 48 hours."> <table border=0 cellspacing=0 celpadding=0> <tr> <td colspan=2>Enter your information:<br> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><p align=right> First Name:</td> <td> <input type="text" name="FirstName" size=25 maxlength=50> <td> </tr> <tr> <td><p align=right> Last Name:</td> <td> <input type="text" name="LastName" size=25 maxlength=50> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><p align=right> Zip Code:</td> <td> <input type="text" name="zip" size=25 maxlength=50> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><p align=right> Email:</td> <td> <input type="text" name="email" size=25 maxlength=50> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><p align=right> Phone:</td> <td> <input type="text" name="area" size=4 maxlength=5>- <input type="text" name="exchange" size=4 maxlength=3>- <input type="text" name="number" size=5 maxlength=4> </td> </tr> ---------- Edit: Thank you midnightvamp. I have completely forgotten the most important code for sending. Please don't forget to include this at the bottom of your form code The discussion is also continued here http://forums.xisto.com/topic/26673-seting-up-form-mail-help/---------- It is not important how this HTML is written but that name="value" is assigned as you would like. Method must be ="POST"and ACTION="http...yoursite.trap17.com/cgi-bin/cgiemail/directory/template.txt" directory is optional, you can have this in your root or under another subfolder. Watch the template.txt spelling and they are case sensitive. Now write your template.txt as follows To: your-receiving-address@server.comSubject: testing out the application formName entered: [FirstName] [LastName]Zip code: [zip]Sender's email: [email]Sender's phone: ([area])[exchange]-[number]The first two lines are MUST! The way this cgiemail was written it looks for the first two lines for the execution. You can change them however you see fit but they must have To: and Subject: as listed above. And as you can see, I have my TXT file tab and spaced out as I'd like to see the final result. When you test out the form you will receive, either as attached TXT file or as a body of a letter (my yahoo account shows me both) Name entered: Buffalo HELPZip code: 90210Sender's email: sender's@entered.emailSender's phone: (714)555-1212When you receive this submitted data, you'll noticed that it's from some unknown email address (I won't type it here since it's against posting someone else's email address). That address is from the creator of this cgiemail file. That's why I have the visitor enter his/her address so that I have a record of the reply. It's not perfect but it works beautifully. I'll be sure to site the original source once I find the link again (I forgot where I put that thing) Cross post with question: http://forums.xisto.com/topic/25623-help-with-reading-files-read-and-replaceinsert-data-from-form/ Edit: Found the original source located in cPanel CGI center > CGI Email http://web.mit.edu/wwwdev/cgiemail/user.html http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/
  4. So I'm going to assume that they will bring in as Cat-5 or Cat-5e line in? As long as it's not some fiber optic connector jack that is specially required, I am good. I don't know about other states but I was offered with free of charge. The monthly payment will not change from my current DSL. So I was confused how it was going to be delivered to my house. I was worried that they needed to bring in new line from the pole and drill it to my beautiful brick house. Don't want that.
  5. I believe that like-minded group of people make the best community. Their willingness to abide by the common courtesy and respect are the keys to building such a group. When each and everyone consciously decide to uphold the rules of a group is when the group can grow and elevate to the next level.Although I am a moderator, I see that the entire members of administrators and moderators are doing extremely well to keep this community clean and safe. When one or two bad seeds intrude this safe community they are quick to action. I am, at times, feel that we are segregating all people from joining this group however, the community cannot be safe if non-respecting member(s) stirs up a trouble and ruin it for all of us.Trust would be the second ingredient, in my opinion. Every member must trust each other that every member will be viewed at an equal level. Trust in administrators and moderators that they will keep the bad guys out so that everyone can play without apprehension.
  6. Oh man, I have to go with BlaqueMajik on this one. I like how the name appears like the movie title. Good choice on font there.
  7. I have fooled around with cgiemail, which is builtin script in the hosting, and the only way this will work is through a simple TXT file. If that's alright with you I can post for further instruction on how to use this builtin feature. For the preview, all you need to do is assign name="namefield" and use your HTML form to <input type=text name="name1"> ... <input type=text name="name2"> ... And write a simple TXT file with: Name of the first [name1], and the name of the second [name2]. This will email to you with [......] field filled with the response filled by your HTML form page. Such that, Name of the first Jack, and the name of the second Spicer.
  8. A friend if mine works for the State and soon to be in the private sector. According to what he's been doing, you learn Java only if you want to be a web programmer, because you cannot update or upload security patches using JAVA effectively. C++ and Visual Basic are very good to know when you need to take care of clusters of systems (make your own script to deploy bug fixing, automated updates and such). COBOL is getting to be out dated but there are some systems that heavily depend on this language because some State agencies don't have enough funds to upgrade to different language systems and supports.But once you get there, according to my friend, it's not about what you know because the workers are so used to doing it on traditional, old ways that what you know isn't going to help you. It's who you know. They'll have their usual ways of doing things that you have to learn, what you already know, all over again.
  9. I was offered FIOS recently and no one from Verizon can tell me what "wall jack" it will be going through. Is it similar to the telephone jack or a special optical jack that is only compatible with FIOS? If anyone can shed some light to it, I'd appreciate it.Otherwise, the promise (and I say promise because my DSL currently goes no faster than 1Mbps when I was promised 3Mbps) seems very good. My neighborhood streets were turned up side down about 3 years ago to burry the fiber optics line that Verizon was needed to do this FIOS project. It was a mess but I suppose it was necessary. But, like I said if the special jack is involved to have FIOS in my home I'm going to hold up on modifying my house. I am currently fitting Cat-6, RG-6 and Cat-5+Cat-3 (for digital and analogue telephone) for each room and I've spent close to 2 thousand dollars in parts and labor. I hate to be incompatible with FIOS after all that work.
  10. I am going to close this topic because as Klass and Zaccid pointed out, it smells little bit funny...
  11. Sorry folks, CkMsc9 has asked me to find the source to justify my editing. This will be the only time I am going off topic. Weapons (tier 1), (tier 2) and (tier 3) found in http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Super Punch, Hitman level in all weapons, Unlimited ammunition, Wanted level never increases, Lower wanted level, Maximum sex appeal, found in http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Armor, health, and money found in http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/48238-need-codes-for-gta-san-andreas/ Do I really need to go on?
  12. Ah yes, rejected, I was wondering when you were going to post.I've seen some interesting sigs but I think you take it to the extreme. I believe that you don't have a style that's unique to call it as your own, yet, but that can be a good thing. You can think outside of the box and will produce some quality works. You have my vote.
  13. Ah... I wish this post was bit earlier...A week ago, Office Depot had unadvertised sale. Seems like Office Depot purchased, nation wide, too many Gateway's laptop. As you know Gateway closing local retail stores caused huge amount of inventories to be liquidated. My boss picked one up for $700 and the specs were:Pentium 4 3.06512 RAMATI 9000 series 128MB80 GBDVD+-R/RW15.4 screenWiFiand all the default stuffYou can't go wrong with that, ya know?
  14. Do not post questions in the tutorial section. Read forum rules before posting.Moving to Programming section.
  15. It's Xisto's posting rules to give full examples. It's also common courtesy to respect all levels of understandings in this forum. Let's not presume that everyone has the same technical background as you are.
  16. Looks like you need to create this in a batch file. Is that right? If so, you MUST explain the full process of saving to what file type. If this is the commands you need to type on the prompt, use the CONSOLE code. Don't forget to refer to the BB Code Help link during your post. Thank you.
  17. Your link is broken and cannot find the file you are referring to. Please check your link is proper before you post. There's a preview button before the submit button.
  18. Actually I asked it was alright to extract just the dancing banana from the whole line up of dancing fruits and vegetables and the creator said it was alright. I have the email. What is interesting is that IPBGaming placed the dancing banana in similies without asking me or the original creator.And my avatar was created by me to be animated from a kid's simple drawing.
  19. Hey, what are you talking about? I liked the first one too! ha haThanks KuBi. This is awesome! I've never had friends giving me sigs before but man, I like receiving. It's too bad that I don't have anything in return.It feels retro circa 1970's. Brown and orange...I like the subdued feel. And thanks for the little motto, "help help and away" it's pretty catchy.Nice work, KuBi!
  20. Vote yes from me.Although I do agree that the sigs are bit bland, I think DjLuki has some interesting concept in approaching "sigs" If DjLuki does not make the crew at least guide and teach DjLuki. I believe that this member's unique views can add to the crew team. Good luck.
  21. Nope, it just doesn't do it for me. LOL I'm kidding.You know I didn't realize most of your sigs are monochrome based background and you have this focal point that is contrast to your background using acute or different color. I think it works well in sigs.You have my vote.
  22. Hummm interesting approach to sigs. I like the way you think out side the box and not framed in with the typical size or typical genera. Add my vote please.
  23. Add my vote to KuBi for GFX crew. I've noticed that all of KuBi's sigs are right or left justified to leave enough room for a name or a statement. Interestingly handled the void space. Nice!
  24. Add my vote for Frozen. I can see that Forzen likes his sigs to be centered and symmetrical. I enjoyed seeing "Army of Darkness" piece.
