Social Media WWW vs Mobile

VSDan — Sun, 19 May 2013 04:47:53 GMT

Is web-based social media on the same path as PC's: one foot in the grave, and other sliding in? Some make the argument yes. I tend to think it is a tad overblown. Mobile technology (notably smart phones and tablets) is skyrocketing, but the web still matters. Adapt and fit to mobile technology, but not to the exclusion of non-mobile devices. Not yet, but maybe later. Me, I use mobile devices extensively, but still love PC's (where they matter like in my physical office).

Google PageRank Update

VSDan — Sun, 19 May 2013 04:38:06 GMT

So, should we start up a betting pool as to when the next Google PageRank (PR) happens? Might even an idea for a website. Frankly I don't put much stock in PR, but (too) many do. I'm of the ilk that if you build it, they will come. At any rate, next update should be rolling out in the next 4-6 weeks.

floating navigation tags

threedyou — Sat, 18 May 2013 19:20:42 GMT

trying to improve my company's website by adding flexibility to the navigation tags, meaning, when resizing the whole
browser window and decreasing the width of the window, I want to tags to follow and when at max narrow vertical
view, the tags will stack vertically.

I did bring in jquery.ui scripts library codes and it worked, however, when adding css to where I need the tags to go, I
lose this flexibililty?

any suggestions?

Creating identical header and footer

phpnewbie34 — Sat, 18 May 2013 19:12:09 GMT

Hey there friends.

I am looking to add an identical repeat image to both the very top and bottom of the page.

I added the image to the body {} tag and also the html {} tag.

The problem is the body is set to 1000px width - so either the footer or header is limited to 1000 px width

How do I make them both stretch the entire page??

Thanks in advance

Having trouble retrieving DB records

cwbraun — Sat, 18 May 2013 16:41:44 GMT

I am betting this is going to come out to be something simple but it has me stumped. I have set up an MVC framework that gives me the following.

A controller...

PHP Code:


class AboutController extends Controller {

    

    function display() {

        $this->setTitle('Some Title');

        $this->setJS(array());

        $this->setCSS(array('about.css'));       

        $this->set('contacts', $this->About->retrieveContacts());

        $this->set('teachers', $this->About->retrieveTeachers());

    }

}

Which call Model methods...

PHP Code:


class About extends Model {

    

    function retrieveContacts() {

        return $this->callSelectStoredProc('getContactsFull');

    }

    

    function retrieveTeachers() {

        return $this->callSelectStoredProc('getTeachers');

    }

}

Which inherits from the following...

PHP Code:


class Model extends SQLQuery {



    protected $_model;



    function __construct() {

            $this->connect(DB_HOSTNAME, DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME);

    }



    function __destruct() { $this->disconnect(); }

}



class SQLQuery {



    protected $_conn;



    function connect($address, $account, $pwd, $name) {

            $this->_conn = new mysqli($address, $account, $pwd, $name);

            if(mysqli_connect_errno()) { return mysqli_connect_errno(); }

    }



    function disconnect() {

            if(@mysql_close($this->_conn) != 0) { return 1; } else { return 0; }

    }

        

        function callSelectStoredProc($proc, $in = array()) {

            $spIn = "";

            $inCount = count($in);

            

            if($inCount > 0) { 

                $spIn = implode($in, ', ');

            }

            

            $sqlSP = "CALL " . $proc . "(" . $spIn . ")";

            echo $sqlSP;

            $result = $this->_conn->query($sqlSP);

            

            $data = array();

            $index = 0;

            while ($obj = $result->fetch_object()) {

                $data[$index++] = $obj;

            }

            

            $result->close();

            

            return $data;

        }



    function getError() {

            return "CALL failed: (" . $this->_conn->errno . ") " . 

                   $this->_conn->error;

    }

}

When the display() method gets called it in turn uses the DB connection to make 2 storedproc queries
$this->set('contacts', $this->About->retrieveContacts());
$this->set('teachers', $this->About->retrieveTeachers());

which down the pipe both call SQLQuery->callSelectStoredProc().. The problem is while running either ONE of these methods it works fine, If I try to execute both i get the following error...

Quote:

Fatal error: Call to a member function fetch_object() on a non-object in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/monroenaz/library/SQLQuery.class.php on line 67

which is the following line in callSelectStoredProc()

'while ($obj = $result->fetch_object()) {'

Any thoughts why I cannot make 2 calls across a single connection. My first thought was that the connection may have been busy but I put a sleep between the 2 calls and it did not help.

Any help wold be appreciated.

Need Thoughts On A Concept

ChuckB — Sat, 18 May 2013 16:27:14 GMT

I needed the dev communities collective minds on this one. I'm in the process of creating a comment section. It's written in jQuery. So therefore, when someone makes a comment, the new elements are dynamically created and appended to a target

.

Well, the problem is since its dynamically created, it's not naturally apart of the page so when I reload the page, the comments are gone. So how do you guys think sites like http://espn.go.com/ are able to save their comments per page and reload the same comments when you access the page again? I'm sure the answer to this includes a combination of JavaScript/JQuery and PHP.

I don't think those sites save the comments to a DB because that would be to resource intensive and it's impossible to load all that stuff to a cookie.

Auto_increment PHP

Xayan Coder — Sat, 18 May 2013 14:40:43 GMT

I have a form with an auto_inc field. The form on submit creates in the table the tuple - with the auto_inc field. What I then need to do is pull the auto_inc field back into the form for processing as a variable to both be displayed in the form, and additionally saved to another table, all in the one form.

A Newbie's questions

dbhalberg — Sat, 18 May 2013 10:58:27 GMT

I've been using Dreamweaver to make websites for a while, but rather simple sites, so I do consier myself to be just a beginner. I make them for fun. I just was asked to make a website for a friend but have some questions I wanted to ask before I decide to take the job.
The website, generally speaking, is a list of equipment (the kind does not matter, but it would list the equipment, the company that makes it, the year it was released, etc..). The site would need to have drop down menus, or combo boxes, and after the user makes some choices, the resulting list of equipment would need to be sorted according to those parameters - kind of like on Ebay, where you do a search and the results display, but then you could say you want to sort it by newly listed, lowest price first, time ending soonest,etc...and then the results would sort themselves out. Like that.
Can this be done in Dreaweaver, or would it require some other programming language?

Thank you sincerely in advance!
