  1. beeseven, Ah ha! I knew something didn't look right Thanks for the great modification. 6am reply posts aren't the greates quality
  2. Try this for a size. It was something I was using (not random) for my game league schedule list. <?php$path = "../directory name of this index.php will reside/";$narray=array();$dir_handle = @opendir($path) or die("Unable to open $path please notify the administrator. Thank you.");echo "You can place greeting or some message here.\n";$i=0;while($file = readdir($dir_handle)){ if($file != '.' && $file != '..' && $file !='index.php') { $narray[$i]=$file; $i++; }}$j = rand(0, $i-1);echo "<a target='_blank' href='$path$narray[$j]'>$narray[$j]</a>";//closing the directoryclosedir($dir_handle);?>If all your files are in same extension, i.e. htm, then you can insert this code before the last echo to hide the extension. $filename = str_replace(".htm", "", $narray[$j]);echo "<a target='_blank' href='$path$narray[$j]'>$filename</a>"; I think the rand(0, $i-1) is correct since when existing the loop, the last value of $i is greater than $narray[$i] = $file To show two random files <?php$path = "../directory name of this index.php will reside/";$narray=array();$dir_handle = @opendir($path) or die("Unable to open $path please notify the administrator. Thank you.");echo "You can place greeting or some message here.\n";$i=0;while($file = readdir($dir_handle)){ if($file != '.' && $file != '..' && $file !='index.php') { $narray[$i]=$file; $i++; }}$j = rand(0, $i-1);$k = rand(0, $i-1);if ($j == $k){ $k = rand(0, $i-1);} echo "<a target='_blank' href='$path$narray[$j]'>$narray[$j]</a><br />";echo "<a target='_blank' href='$path$narray[$k]'>$narray[$k]</a>";//closing the directoryclosedir($dir_handle);?>
  3. Stay within the subject. This is not your forum and topic to wage a war with each other.Settle your disputes some place else! Until you learn to grow up and play nice with everyone this topic is closed.
  4. I was, after all, leading support for Afterdawn The capturing devices will encode to mpeg1 or mpeg2 on the fly. This means you don't need to have huge hard drive space to store your 30 minutes of video. AVI is uncompressed and will save it as huge file. To calculate how big of AVI file you'll have, as I sent this information before, I will quote what I wrote: Uncompressed AVI file in DVI format will render 2GB of space for every 9 minutes and 26 seconds of video. It's huge.
  5. Any TV tuner card for your computer will have capture capability. I think this would be the easiest way to capture.Alternative solution is to install video capturing device. Pinnacle is one of the popular devices on the market.While TV tuner card will be the cheapest solution, sometimes the capturing software might be limited. There are TV tuners and HDTV tuners. The capturing software may only support to 800x600 resolution. Video capturing device can support in higher resolution and can capture from multiple sources, i.e. composite video, s-video, USB and Firewire sources, but the price often starts around $80 dollars. I picked up AverTV TV tuner card for a desktop for $19 dollars few years back and I am still content with its performance.It all depends on what and how you want to record from television stations.
  6. Have you tried searching the forum? If you have you would have found this topic http://forums.xisto.com/topic/34522-audio-editing/
  7. Hosting IRC script or running IRChat script is against Xisto hosting rules. Please remove it immediately and review Xisto Readme for clear understanding of Xisto hosting rules.
  8. Just few questions: Is your Windows CD valid and bootable (not a copy)? Did you save your BIOS setting after changing your boot device order? Have you set your CD ROM as #1 boot device?What is your laptop's manufacturer and how old is it? Do you have a floppy drive built-in?
  9. Hosted members, especially, search the forum *BEFORE* you make a redundant topic. If you took a little time to search, you would have found this topic http://forums.xisto.com/topic/33953-is-invision-power-board-131-free/ which discussed all aspect of IPB versions. This topic is closed.
  10. It is due to further the security of Xisto and your account. Topic is resolved; closed.
  11. NO. You do not have privileges to create database under phpmyadmin. You should have clicked DATABASES link after entering phpmyadmin and you would have seen in BOLD RED that you do not have privileges in creating new database. No one does.You can create new database using cPanel > MySQL DATABASE and then use phpmyadmin to edit or modify database values.
  12. Please do not digress from the topic at hand.Posted time is viewed at the local time of your region but remember that we have members from all around the world. It may say 2am in US but it might be 7am in UK or some other time difference Stay within the topic everyone. Thank you.
  13. At the time of this post, your forum is up and running. SMF is connecting to your SQL and everything seems to be fine.Topic is closed. If you face another problem please PM any moderator to open this topic again.Thank you.PS Update your forum to the lastes release (I believe 1.1 RC3 now). Leaving in older version may lead to DDOS attack that can shutdown your database from outside. Updating instruction is clearly explained in SMF homepage's forum section.
  14. I would sacrifice the RAM for now and spend it on graphics card. Make sure that the graphics card has DEDICATED RAM instead of sharing system RAM. Most laptops will pass this inferior technology to not so good buyers. ATI makes dedicated DDR RAM for video for mid-high end laptops. My Toshiba came with ATI 9800 128MB for under $800USD. The sacrifice I made was only 60GB hard drive. But I use external storage anyway along with NAS or SAN these days.DVD R/RW isn't really necessary unless you are going to backup your large data or do video editing and producing. The alternative would be to ensure the laptop comes with IEEE 1394 or Firewire so that you can add external devices, i.e. external hard drive and camcorder. Contrary to what average users might protest, USB2.0 is still slower than Firewire for prolonged operation time. USB is CPU resource dependent and Firewire is PCI BUS dependent. (Oh I just know someone will fight me on this one ). Transferring 1GB over Firewire is faster than USB2.0. However, that doesn't mean you should omit USB2.0. It should be a standard these days.You're speaking about 2.5Ghz Dual... as in Dual Core or Dual CPU? Intel makes HT chips from 3.06 and higher. This HT chip will operate like dual CPU chips but with only one physical CPU. Dual Core is the next version of HT but since it's very new I doubt you'll find in your price range.Wireless connection should be standard in almost all 17" + models. You can't pick and choose these days, the manufactures will just give you one from their storage They work pretty well considering how small the actual WiFi chip size. One design tip I'd like to pass on: try avoiding laptops with speakers near the palm rest area. Not only it's a trap for small dusts etc, but the sweat will damage the speakers or oxidize the finish. My motto is if I am to listen music turned way up with my laptop, I would have purchased excellent headphone, external speakers or a desktop instead. Laptop keyboards are notorious for trapping dirt and other things. There's a website that specializes "keyboard skin" in various colors to fit your model. I think this would be the best $40 you'll ever spend for your laptop protection.Oh, and one more thing! If you're going to use your laptop for over 2 hours at a time, ask the sales person or research about CPU heat sink. My Toshiba has solid copper heat sink. My sister's Compaq has no heat sink. Needless to say mine runs cooler than my sister's. As you know heat will destroy any electrical thing. And sooner or later you will put your laptop on your lap. There are stories people injuring from hot laptops--especially when CPU speed is high and thus producing higher heat.
  15. I found this instruction on the net and I'm wondering this actually "speeds up" a dial up connection? Source http://www.tripod.lycos.co.uk/ I am unable to test out this using my current equipments at the moment but if any Xisto members out there using dial up connections, could you post your results? Maybe you can use bandwidth test to post your results both upload and download. If possible try using one bandwidth testing place like here http://www.bandwidthplace.com/ And is this United States only or does it work around the world? I'd be interested to find out the results.
  16. This topic has been addressed, discussed and answered so many times. Please use the SEARCH feature on the board. If you're not familiar with search and advance search features please PM me.Topic is closed.PS you will have account issues if both of your account's cpanel names are the same. Please PM OpaQue for solution or any known issues as of current. In the past accounts with identical cPanel names were deleted.
  17. Please search the forum. This is one of the reasons why topic title is *VERY* important. One topic discussed free converting program http://forums.xisto.com/topic/40678-software-that-will-convert-cuebin-files-to-a-different-format-like-avi/ called TMPGENC. Web site http://tmpgenc.net/ Also, a plug-in for Adobe Premiere was discussed but only if you have Premiere. This plug-in is called LSX-MPEG plug-in. It's the better ones I've used so far.
  18. My account was never "infected" so to speak... but two of my friends' profiles were redirected to some weird site. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Oddly enough that this issue has been around since November, 2005 at the least. Before I resolved their redirect script I cleared my cache and then clicked on the "infected" profile. As soon as the profile was loaded enough for me to click on "BLOCK USER" I pressed the STOP button (browser menu button/icon). I then blocked the user. This wasn't really interested me until someone made a comment on my profile using the above similar method. And so I began to search the web for all its code meanings... and that's how I came across it. Thank goodness I disabled all HTML codes from my profile. (Your account settings > profile settings, and disable from it all). That just goes to show you: never take anything in default mode never let a rogue code ruin your day.
  19. My friend's daughter will be sad to hear this story. She idolized Steve and for his famous TV programs, she wanted to become a veterinarian. It is a sad day for animal lovers and a planet which is striving so hard to promote kinder, gentler appeal towards all living creatures.I will miss Steve... I hope Terri would find some comfort.
  20. Make sure that your raw data (the file you're editing and cutting) was synch when splicing--meaning when you cut the video make sure the audio is cut as well. Or, make sure when editing you're moving audio and video at the same frame cut.The second issue could be what DogEater008 pointed out. While you're encoding do not run any heavy resouce hungry program(s).Try again and tell us exactly how you were editing.It's also helpful to post what resolution you're compiling, how long is the clip and which format you are importing and exporting.
  21. It basically means you can have username@yourdomain using Gmail as your interface. Login and all the services that Google can offer are accessable using any browser but the email sent will be from your domain address. This wasn't possible in the past since only "reply-to" was the only thing you could have made the modification.With this service your "from" address will show yourdomain name while using the now familiar Gmail interface.What's also clever is that you can create multiple identity email address. This means I can receive and retrieve other POP email and use different identity to send to appropriate receiver. It's very similar to Outlook's "sub-accounts" with different email profile. However, when looking under the full header, it still says google or gmail from full send path.Xisto Corporation already has this service and I must say I am getting ready to switch over from Yahoo! to Gmail.
  22. iXeta,Good to see you again! You really kicked my butt on Age II How are you? Nils and Klass are both concentrating on IPBGaming and they visit Xisto once in a while.
