Welcome back to KS darling! I hope you have been well. How about this?

 

Why don't you tell me what url you are using OR try to login with the username & password you have at the following url options :-

 

http://www.madwire.com/

 

OR

 

yoursite.net:2082

 

If you are told even once that the login username & password is wrong, stop right there and let me know. I will have a tech send you a new password

 

OR

 

You can login to your client area at Xisto - Support and change the password yourself. You need to find your service and view it to see the option to edit your password.

 

Let me know.

 

And great to see you here

 

Hi dear, how are you doing, I hope you are doing great

and thank you a lot for your fast reply, it worked like a charm I could access the cpanal now. and the reason is I was using an old link (http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/) they should changed now. And that proves how along I was away from here so sad. I hope to be more active but I am fully taken away with life. But It is always relieving to have someone like you here to help and support. Well done dear, and thanks again.

Hi,How are you all? I hope you doing great. I have a website hosted on a server here, usually I can enter the cpanal right away to edit my files but it was been a while since I did that. So, when I tried to open the cpanal, it kept on loading and nothing comes up. I was wondering what is going on? and how to fix it. I need to edit files as soon as possible so please any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the suggestion jlhaslip, I really appreciate your help. but the issue is resolved, I was working on it the past few days, and it seems that it is only a matter of organizing error, because I was trying to insert data to the chapters table where I didn't insert a book first :Ptherefore I got this error, because as I said before, the whole database is related in many to many relationship. Thanks for your help again.

Hi everyone, I have this error message appears when I try to insert data to my database through a form, here is the error message:

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near

I checked everything and it looks fine, here is the code for inserting the data:

<form id="form2" name="form1" method="POST" action="<?php echo $editFormAction; ?>">			    <p>				  <label for="chapter">Chapter</label>				  <input type="text" name="chapter" id="chapter" />			    </p>			    <p>				  <label for="pages">Pages</label>				  <input type="text" name="pages" id="pages" />			    </p>			    <p>				  <label for="startDate">Start Date</label>				  <input type="text" name="startDate" id="startDate" />			    </p>			    <p>				  <label for="needsBy">Needs By</label>				  <input type="text" name="needsBy" id="needsBy" />			    </p>			    <p>				  <label for="completed">Completed</label>				  <input type="text" name="completed" id="completed" />			    </p>			    <p>				  <input name="hiddenField" type="hidden" id="hiddenField" value="<?php echo $row_rsChapters['bookID']; ?>" />			    </p>			    <p>				  <input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Submit" />			    </p>			    <p>				  <input type="hidden" name="MM_insert" value="form1" />			    </p>			    <p> <a href="<?php echo $logoutAction ?>">Log out</a></p>			  </form>

and this is the php code for the insertion method:

$bookVar = $_GET['bID'];if ((isset($_POST["MM_insert"])) && ($_POST["MM_insert"] == "form1")) {  $insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO chapterstatus (bookID, chapter, pages, startDate, needsBy, completed) VALUES (" .$bookVar. ", %s, %s, %s, %s, %s)",					   GetSQLValueString($_POST['chapter'], "int"),					   GetSQLValueString($_POST['pages'], "text"),					   GetSQLValueString($_POST['startDate'], "text"),					   GetSQLValueString($_POST['needsBy'], "text"),					   GetSQLValueString($_POST['completed'], "text"));	   	     mysql_select_db($database_connWill, $connWill);  $Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQL, $connWill) or die(mysql_error());  $insertGoTo = "addChapters2.php";  if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {    $insertGoTo .= (strpos($insertGoTo, '?')) ? "&" : "?";    $insertGoTo .= $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];  }  header(sprintf("Location: %s", $insertGoTo));}mysql_select_db($database_connWill, $connWill);$query_rsStudent = "SELECT * FROM students";$rsStudent = mysql_query($query_rsStudent, $connWill) or die(mysql_error());$row_rsStudent = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsStudent);$colname_rsBooks = "-1";if (isset($_GET['bID'])) {  $colname_rsBooks = $_GET['bID'];}

so where is the error I really don't know, so any ideas why I got this error message? thanks in advance for any help.

Hi everyone, I have this problem with my new battery for Dell Inspiron 1520, I just bought it two weeks ago and it should work better than that. The whole problem is, every time it reaches 66%, the whole computer sleeps even if it plugs to power, I mean it is charging, and I even couldn't turn it on until few seconds more. I know it is not that big thing, but it is really annoying, sometimes it sleeps when I was working on something really important, so it bothers me a lot. I checked the settings but couldn't find something weird, so any suggestion on what to do?Thanks in advance.

Here is the PHP code for the whole page:

Hi,

I work on a project right now and I got stuck in some where, the database that I am working on right now is a many to many relationship database, it is a book order database that allows students to order books and admin to control their orders. So what I have is four tables (books, students,admins, and bookstudentsconjunction), the bookstudentsconjunction is made to allow the many to many relationship, and I set everything using PHPMyAdmin.
the problem that I countered is, I need to use the session variable to determine a certain student to insert a book to both tables (books and bookstudentsconjunction) and this is my MYSQL query:

$sql="INSERT INTO tblstudentbookjunc (studentID, bookID)VALUES($_SESSION[studentID],LAST_INSERT_ID())";

but I can't get the desired effect, so any ideas where is the error?? thanks in advance.

hi Dyson,welcome to Xisto, you will find a lot of interesting and usful topics here. you can have friends, and have fun, just keep on posting and be active and enjoy. good luck.

well i am not sure of what region you are or what country you are from?? but here in america i see there are equal advantages and disadvantages of putting our children in public schools.the advantages are, the education, the experience, personally i see the level of education here is much more better than other countries, but still depending of the student itself and his or her family.and the disadvantages are, the chance of being influnced by the weong person and affecting by them and consequently they will learn bad habits and morals, but also that depends on his or her family to stop that effect. and i really think that private schools have the same advantages and disadvantages but in a different level depending on that school.all in all, we are, the families should pay attention more if we don't want our children to be affected by their community.

hi Vicky, glade to see you here in Xisto, and you are right you can find a valuable information and interesting topics all over the forum. also the community is so supportive and helpful. so take your time, take a look, and post and enjoy. good luck.

@Anwii : Hard work

we will always looking for your hard work for the forums and the members opaque please do your best and we will too. hope things rivied here again and the previous spirit returns like the old days .

yeah i agree with bani, the front page now looks much more better than before. it is now more neat, compatible with colors and shades and more organized, except of the hover color "the red one" for the menu links. i think it is not fit with the design, try something between light gray to light blue. and i like the welcome section too, well done opaque. keep up the good working and update us to help with our feedback, good luck.

The only bad thing is that there is a waiting list But you never know if it's long or short.

now i agree with you, i registered about two months ago or more and till now i didn't get anything, it seems i am still on the waiting list. hope things to go forward soon.

the best way to learn designing tricks and secrets is by using tutorials and walk with them step by step. this way you will make the lyouts and after that you can edit them as you want. the main tools you may want to start with are: adobe photoshop, an editor, you can use any editor that supports css, html and php oe any other language you may want to use in your websites. personally i am using adobe dreamweaver, a basic knowledge about testing your pages locally.and if you dont want to use an extra language like php and stick with html and css, then the easiest way is to learn create designs using dobe photoshop, and you cn convert it to a web page in a few simple step. when you finish the layout, click onfile >save for web and devices > click on the small arrow near preset then choose "edit output setting > from the second drop down list (where html ppers) choose slices and make sure "generates css is selected > ok > save > a box will appear (save optimized as) make sure to choose from (save as type) this option "html and images. and now you will get an html web page integrated with css of your photoshop layout. but even this way is easy but not professional and i suggest you to use it to kow more about how things are going but i prefer to make slices myself nd coding them in to web pages.good luck.

i think the new layout now with the dark blue background is much better than before, you did a good job by using the ingredient here and there to give it this look, BUT even the white color fits the blue but it kind you over used it in way that makes the words "a quest of wisdom through knowledge" lost with the overall design. in other words they are not showing clearly and hard to read correctly. and becuse the word "knowledge" in different color with a curve way, made things much more harder to look clean.

 

the same is said for the logo "Xisto", you made the sub heder in three different fonts and in three and i think in two or three ingredient of white color, nd this makes the over all look in a mess.

 

and i really can't understand the reason of using Xisto in the front page when you suppose you changed it to Xisto??? it makes thing confusing right there.

 

any way, my suggestions as a designer are:

- make the binary digits (0,1) more transparent to reduce the elements stand out from the background and to not ffect the writing above it.

- make all the logos (mysql,google,cpanel,jquery...ect) fade more and give them a shiny blue effect when hover, and try to make them smaller or add some space between them and the Xisto writing.

- fix the logo of the header to contain two fonts one for the header and one for the subheader, and i think it should be "Xisto" not Xisto. and if you want to inform others about the change of the name, just add a few words in the main body with a link about the whole story .

 

and another word about the java script or jquery of the menu effect, it doesn't work properly, here is what i got in opera after click on it twice or three times

 

 

as you can see, there is a cut edges left from the left side in ugly way. and notice that the (linux, microsoft..ect) all that line is hiding behind the menu tab. while it looks fine in firefox, looks like this

 

 

hope that helps, good luck.

great, i will be waiting for the new layout with less bugs. and i really hope that it will be done cross browsers so everyone can see it correctly. and even if it is not i will report it right away, good luck.

thank you bani and velma now i can see what is happening. for the intro, it seems it is not showing in opera. here is what i see on my browser

 

 

as you can see there is no link for the intro, for some odd reason. therefore i was confused and didn't know what are you talking about guys.

 

and as i remember i usually see that intro when i click on Xisto link in the menu of the forum but it seems the link is changed so i couldn't find it.

 

now seriously, why a forum or a company like xisto needs an intro and a front page??

i mean what is the point of having two front pages "because the intro is assumed to be a front page for the whole company too", so what is the point here?? i can understand!!

 

anyway, i checked that front page in firefox and it seems the intro link is showing there, here is the screenshoot in firefox

 

 

so opque, you have to make it cross browsers so everyone can see it correctly.

 

yeah i must say it is weird to notify visitors about their global coordinates. i thought that too but i think he might want to impress his vistors or has a point bhind it. who knows??

ok here we go - i like the dark gray color of the header with the texture in it but i think it should be centered for the whole page or expanded to cover the whole width of the page, not like now it is aligned to the left side of the pagewell, in fact there is a strange thing about the header because i just decrease the view of the page in my browser and i found it is already expanded but in a (1024&768) like the one i use, it appears like it is cut from the right side. maybe that happened because of the logo of the knowledgesutrs, i am not sure. you should fix it any way. because right now when i view the page in my browser (opera) i see the header is cut from the right side and it looks like it is smaller than the footer.also when i decreased the view for 70% i can see that you expanded the header to 100% but not the footer so you should fix that too.- even i said i liked the dark gray but the degree of red is not fit with it, it is like something wrong with this combonation, try a lighter degree of red and see how it looks like.- and just tell me why you have the "HOME" worf instead of the logo, which it pushed to the end of the header?i can't see a meaning to that home there and why the logo is pushed to the end?!- the curve corners in the index box and the over all layout look fine and elegant i like it.-also i like the light gray for the menu hover, but you have to use that degree of gray for the menu in the header too. because as i see when we navigate to a sub category a tab in the menu of the header will be added but in a more darker gray. and this i think you should change to combine colors of the whole site.- in the bottom i think you should to center the copyrights too with the links to fit with everything there.- in the sidebar, i like the design of the header of each section with that dark gray to fit with the header and foter but you need to use a one type of font to all of them because right now i can see you are using two or three and that doesn't look profesional you know. you need to make the hover of the sidebar links gray to suit with everything else, as i can see the hover background now is pink!! who is that related to everything else??and finally you should justify the spaces between sections in sidebar. right now they are not equal.that's it for now, fix it and post the link here and i am ready to help good luck.edit...i found more right now -the feedback icon that appears in the left side in this link http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ it should be fixed, because it doesn't appear when i scroll up and appears behind the copyrights when i scroll down. in fact that happens when i scroll the page to the right so i think it is normally not to appear on the top but it should be fixed to be above the copyrights i think.and as i can see now when scroll the page to the right the whole page is being above the feedback icon.in firefox i see the same things so no new. except the header appears less cut off from the right side.- the logo of knowledgsutra needs to be png format because i see a line seperate it fro the background.-and there is a transparent bar above the red line in the bottom, i don't know if that what you want oor it appears there by mistake.

If you are talking about the single line menu bar, it was being worked upon by the designers for a while now, they uploaded it yesterday but yes Opa has been listening to member feedback. And quite honestly, I think the flash intro isn't that big a deal at all since most people would probably find their preferred link and forget about the static page and the intro.

the funny thing that you all are talking about something i can't see, i don't know where is the wrong here, maybe from my end, i don't know.

anyway, please post the link for the flash intro so i can see it maybe i am missing something here!!!

Now Now, let us not report him because he has just come back :XD: I opened up a topic on his behalf Here so go on and put in your review. This is basically the page non registered members would get to see and use for adding their feedback

you are right even i have a real intentions to report him and see what he will do
maybe he will get sick of us and ban me
between i want to give him so many things to do to make him buzy for the next two months, just to make him pay for that time he was away from here .

yeah i know bani but the problem that i can't find it, i mean the flash intro. when i click on this link http://forums.xisto.com/ i only see a static page.so maybe i missed something here, if so please post the link.

Naah, We have a team here to make sites now. There was a little internal communication mistake that caused that motto to come up. I had given lot of my personal taglines in discussion and it was noted down and pasted on the website. I have gotten it changed.
Currently, The NO CATCH22 part will be changed to "simply, free web hosting".

I just got free with the coding project and looking at the little bit of mistakes I have done here. I am still thinking of the main page. I am now planning to put up a search engine on the main site. And Help members directly search and seek the topics they wish to see, as soon as possible and start participating.

I need reviews for http://forums.xisto.com/

am i being that long away from here??
because seariously i am completely lost!!!

where is the phrse of "innocence is a bliss thing"??
and what is the meaning of catch22??
and please opaque what is this link for?? is it a new theme for the forus??

and if you want review to it just start a new topic abou it or i will report you

now seriously just start a new topic about it and i will help. you know i can't post here or it will be considered as spam.

yeah good luck with that opaque, i hope you can revive that forum again. and be active like before, we will always be waiting for moe from you since you are the boss in here, right?

hmm i think this tough topic that posted by banni is pushed opaque to change things of the front page that i see for the first time :)i just opened Xisto.com and i didn't see any flash intro or anything, no music or loading. only a static front page with some links for the forums and other services. and about that front page i do like the effort that made to create that graphic effects, but in the sam time i do believe it is not suitable for the forums since here the forums are blue, so after the effort that made in that page i think the reasonable thing is to change the theme of the forums to something near to red.
