Some info: The basic package (~$2) doesn't come with shell access by default (one can request for it though, i think ~$1pm). However their is a nice web interface for crontab in Cpanel and an Advanced (unix style) interface. Cron jobs work perfectly for my site, so you can surely go ahead.

Hi, I can use crontabs, hosting allows it.

Talking about the main topic. It is very much possible to have a backup of World Wide Web. To do so we would first need to create a clone of earth, probably revolving round the earth. Moon is the best contender, create enough data centers and other infrastructure and then start the download engines. May be in a few years moon would have a backup of internet and infrastructure to store further tons of GBs every minute.

I am learning MVC (Model?View?Controller) based coding on PHP. I have looked at some of the popular frameworks like Yii, Cakephp and CodeIgniter. I am looking for one of these which is easier to get started. If anyone has experience with MVC based frameworks, please share your thoughts.

The last time I played a strategy game like that was Hidden and Dangerous. A game where we get to control four soldiers. Obviously we can actually control one person in FPS mode at a time while others are in AI mode. While we are in the shoes of a soldier we can assign paths/orders to other soldiers. This is very contrasting game to COH. In HAD its all about tactics and sneaking behind the enemy lines unnoticed. Since the whole idea of the offending forces is to attack in small groups (4 soldiers in a map). That also makes it a rather difficult game since we cant open up loud gunshots whenever we wish. Well this is quite an old game now. But you can definitely check it out if you wish to play some strategy game. But I must say the AI of our soldiers in that game is pretty poor, nevertheless it requires lots of planning to complete each mission.

Pohe is beaten rice. I am not sure whether Pohe is the name of the end product of this recipe or the main ingredient (beaten rice). There are two types of beaten rice available, one is paper thin and other is a bit thicker. Generally for this recipe, thicker beaten rice is used. Yes, its like Farsan, but its not crunchy, as its soaked in water. Hing is known as Asafoetida in English.

That one seems to be a full DNS supported domain name. I suppose, to point legendarygaming.cz.cc to legendarygaming.trap17.com as true domain you would need to contact Xisto - Support, who would then allow your cz.cc domain (because I don't think we are allowed to change this setting whatever its called as). In the meantime you can change the name servers of your new domain to ns.computinghost.com and ns2.computinghost.com. These name servers are for sites hosted on gamma server. not user about others, so check that.

Like in HTML, there are no document declarations for CSS. I mean, we do not explicitly specify the CSS version the browser should use to render the page. Because in CSS there are no differences between the versions, each one builds up over the previous versions with more features. These CSS specifications are defined by w3 consortium. You can check out the different specifications: CSS 1, CSS 2.1, CSS 3. Apart from these versions there are other ones too, some of which are still in development.

Hey there. Happy new year. Well, just because nobody replied doesn't mean nobody likes it. They will reply if they have something to say. As you see, one liner posts saying "Thank you" would be considered spam here. On the other hand they can give a five start rating if they like it. If you end up the post with some questions or asking opinions, to engage in conversation you will surely expect more replies. Since this thread has the basics, I would like to add one too: Centering a block element: When I switched from HTML styling to CSS, this was the first thing I learned. In CSS, to center align a block element we use: #block { width: 500px; margin: auto; }

Welcome to the forums. First of all how experienced are you with coding and understanding scripts. Because just creating a clone of travian wouldn't work, especially if you are thinking about monetizing/getting traffic for this kind of site. Just because travian attracted lots of members wouldn't mean another site can do the same. Travian was unique in features, I mean there isn't an exact clone of travian which competes against travian, although there exists some online games which fall into the same genre as Travian. Furthermore, there is lot of marketing involved to promote such site. A couple of months back I used to see there banner ads on almost every website/blog I used to visit. If popularity/traffic not an issue, if you want to create one just for the fun of it to share with friends, then you can use some clone scripts of travian. A quick search on "Travian clone script" leads to this opensource script https://sourceforge.net/projects/devana/ . It is coded in PHP. So if you are good at PHP you can modify and include your ideas into the script. And who knows, may be you can bring out something unique.

No, FluxBB is only a forum package. Actually I misunderstood the first time I read the main post. I thought the forum was being integrated onto an already existing blog. In that case, fluxbb is a good choice, as it can be easily integrated. But for starting both the forum and blog from scratch a complete CMS would be the better choice. So drupal would do good. I think, one should also think about what the site consists, does the main feature of the site is blog or the forum? Its quicker to get blog traffic than forum traffic. So forum feature on the site would not yield results quicker. May be it can be added, when the blog receives good traffic. Just my experience.

Hi, I don't know about those two, haven't used them. But since you are looking for a forum package, you can also have a look at fluxbb, if you haven't checked it out already. For a forum starting out around a blog with visitors, those two packages might be an overkill. I did try setting up PhpBB for a friend hosted on a shared hosting. The page rendering time is more compared to other simple-smaller scripts. Fluxbb is amazingly fast, its being actively developed and can be easily skinned. Some sites running on Fluxbb are utorrent , netvibes bittorrent. Edit: Sorry, I think I didn't read that carefully. You mean you want to start a blog and forum from scratch together. Then drupal might be the best solution. I have it running with "Advanced forums" module. Actually this module is itself an overkill for my simple forum.

Hello my fellow trapped mates, I just wanted to share a happy news, with all those who are trapped with web hosts offering very low resources. I recently came across a web hosting, which provides you dozens of hard disks and a couple of very dedicated high speed lines for all the traffic you would ever need to create the next <insert some popular website here>. Price? A hefty sum of $12.92 per every single month. My first reaction: Oops the keyboard key '0' seems to be stuck. According to the forum rules, I am not supposed to post the link of a competitors website link here, so anyone who wants to know more about this website can PM me. I will send you the link. But from there on, you carry on your own, I am not responsible for the consequences. I have confirmed the features with the very responsive support person present on-line. This is my brief chat with the support person present on-line confirming the details of the package. You can also slo transfer your domain name for free. PS: I actually wanted to continue the chat asking few more details, about restrictions on number of request hits, and is it a dedicated server or grid service, but was in a hurry so just took the snap. Sorry, for missing the real fun of the chat.

Oh, so you are creating licensing feature for your software? As you didn't mentioned that in the first thread, I thought the file you are talking is something which helps the application, not license thing. Is the license file common? I mean, is it different for different users based on their usernames or whatever unique info you can get from user? May be you can allow the users to download wherever they want. Add a dialog box in your application where the user can select the downloaded file. Your application can then move the file to appropriate place. I am just telling he idea, don't know if its possible. Another idea for licensing would be to create a unique key based on the user's windows login name. Give them this key through email when they register, of course asking for their windows username before that. If you like this idea, you can PM me, I will get you in touch with the person who has already done and implemented that in their software. But, you may need to pay him, if you want this thing done. If thats not the idea, then well may be you can try googling or may be other members might help.

I just found out this one for you. These are tutorials to create christmas greetings. But you can just use images. http://designstacks.net/?s=christmas Here is another one: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ They are free resources so you can use them.

You can find some christmas related graphics in google search. Click here. I guess you already tried that. Merry Christmas!

The file can be included along with the installer. When the client installs it, let the text file be copied to the specific location. Isn't that possible with the installer? Or are there any other issues?

Well no problem then. So, they auto detect if there are any modules in the core and non core directories, regardless of the path they were previous installed on. Point noted. Yes, of course, uninstalling would remove all the content entered through the module. But the hassles nameless is facing, may be a fresh install would be better considering the site has not been live yet.

I don't know about this, as I haven't tried, but would just disabling modules and moving the directories would be fine? Aren't those previous directory paths locked into the installation? So, may be if disabling doesn't work, may be uninstalling it and reinstalling the modules might work.

@Nameless: Could you check whether my username appears in your ignored list? This would be the third time I am telling about MySQL backup feature in Cpanel. I think you didn't read my posts, or were they too confusing for you? If so, please tell me, I would be more lenient in explaining things next time. The first time: The second time: If you couldn't understand those steps, there are some excellent video tutorials which show baby steps to backup databases and for carrying out many other chores in Cpanel. Hope those videos would make it crystal clear. You can try this, delete the core directories of themes and modules as you have already messed up, upload the fresh directories of core themes and modules from new drupal download. And now in your non core directories upload all the things you want to upload. But, uninstall all the non core modules and change the theme to default core theme before carrying out the above process.

How about Chicken Soup for the soul series. Very inspirational real life stories with a touch of humor. It will definitely make a good to read book for beginners. I am fond of non-fictional books rather than fictional.

I don't see ads, as I use hosts file. So those types of scan your system ads are not visible to me. I think there is another research going on at MIT media labs. Pranav mistry doing similar innovations, what he calls sixth sense technology. Very interesting video. There practical daily use are still long way, because we are not yet used to having tech gadgets stuck to our body all day. @harrison: yes those gaming possibilities are possible, check the video link I posted above, it shows that, and also taking snaps with hands!

sNews is very nice for a very simple and straight forward blog, but its theming and customization is the easiest. If all I want is a basic blog I would definitely go for sNews, customizations like adding bookmarking feature etc are not difficult to implement. I actually like this very much, because I can play and tinker with it as much as I want, still knowing exactly what I am doing and how and where the things flow in the script.I need to know, what are the various reasons wherein a script becomes insecure? As long as the admin and post creation urls are secured (hidden/unreachable by suspecting visitors), there shouldn't be any other means of them getting in, isn't it? Because I cant seem any other means of them getting in. It would be nice if someone could tell about the security issues.

Try EasyBCD, if doing that on command line is difficult. It can change the boot loaders. You basically need to run grub command and change the boot order in Ubuntu. A Google search on changing boot order in grub will give informative articles.

There's a lot of confusion there. What was the previous location of your current theme. When you moved the files to?sites/all/themes, what did you delete at previous location, its parent directory? Have a look at themes administration and check if your theme is present there. This is how I did my recent update: Downloaded the latest version, unpacked it, deleted sites folder in it, zipped it back. Uploaded it to server and unpacked there, replacing/overwriting all things there. May be its not the best method but it works. The two directories which I don't let new version replace on server are sites and files (custom location chose for uploading files on server). All the posts and content are saved in MySQL databases. Hopefully you might be knowing about it, because you couldn't have installed drupal without first creating database. If you read a post in your previous thread, I told something about backups feature in cpanel which lets us to backup MySQL databases and/or directories and other configuration.?
