Remove Filter  | Due to some complaints, the private message inbox now more closely resembles the pre-Dazah version. Archived conversations no longer show in perpetuity. |
| | I have two different conversion goals set up in AdWords. Is it possible to set a CPA bid for Campaign #1 to only take into consideration one goal, and a CPA bid for Campaign #2 to only take into consideration the other goal? |
| | You may have noticed that messaging about earning rewards points that can be cashed out for real dollars has just now been removed from various pages. It's not that I've completely called quits on the idea. When we switched over to the new platform, it was always in the pipeline …  |
| | For those of you who remember, the old DaniWeb API went away over the summer when we switched to the Dazah platform. We have a new little API launched now to access articles/posts. However, you can now use Dazah to connect with the entire DaniWeb community. https://www.daniweb.com/welcome/api |
| | The other day I tweeted that MySQL unions are my new best friend. I just want to take that back. I just spent the past six hours (it's now 5 am) overhauling a MySQL query and removing one of the unions actually sped up performance. Dazah is really my first …  |

| | What is FIND_IN_SET() performance like? It it something that should be avoided at all costs? I want to search a column that consists of comma-delimited numbers for rows that contain a specific number.  |
| | Any entrepreneurs in India out there in Internet land? I just stumbled upon this article https://developers.google.com/startups/ called the Google Launchpad Accelerator where Google is bringing startups from India all expenses paid for a 2 week accelerator program in Silicon Valley. Obviously the goal is so that startups will have more … |
| | Does anyone have any experience with Google's PageSpeed Module? https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/module/ How often does it break things? |
| | Dazah API uses Redis to handle rate limiting. The goal is to limit every each client_id/user_id pair from making over 5,000 requests every 5 minutes. We use Codeigniter 3.x and it looks something like this: $flood_control = $CI->cache->get("user_limit:{$token_obj->client_id}:{$token_obj->user_id}"); if ($flood_control === false) { $CI->cache->save("user_limit:{$token_obj->client_id}:{$token_obj->user_id}", 0, 300); } else if ($flood_control …  |
| | I am currently living in California and I periodically RDP to my home computer in NY. I'm not quite sure how this happened, but from the last time I logged in a few days ago, to today, my user account has been mysteriously deleted?! Perhaps Windows Update did something flaky? … |
| | How on earth do I get Google Analytics to filter out the tremendous amount of referral spam that is showing up in my reports?! For those of you who are unaware of what I'm talking about, do a google search for "google analytics referral spam" to see what I mean. … |
| | I'm having a little brain fart and I just want to double check something ... // Array of [a,b,c,d] $array = array('a', 'b', 'c', 'd'); // Loop through array foreach ($array AS $letter) { // Break out of the loop on a specific condition if ($letter == 'c') { break; …  |
| | I'm working on building a Swagger JSON file for my API and I'm looking for a free tool online to test and validate it. Perhaps even an online tool that lets me upload my swagger JSON and builds out documentation from it where I can test it out ... as … |
| | Hi, Unfortunately all of the Dazah integration stuff with DaniWeb is taking *much* longer than anticipated. I'm still working to try to get it out for you guys, but it's just taking a really long time. That being said, now that the concept of a Dazah login has kind of … |
| | I'm trying to design a landing page for my API product, and it seriously is lacking any images. Where are the best places to get those Photoshop-ready backdrops that all of the paid themes seem to have? Deviant Art? Looking for ones that are optimized for this sorta thing, and …  |
| | I'm trying to use the responsive size AdSense link units. Why is it that the font size is soooo tiny?! The font is so much larger on the vertical ad units. Is there any way to force a larger font with horizontal units?  |
| | Is there a way (perhaps with JS or some other sorcery) to get a tracking pixel (a 1x1 clear image in which the HTTP request must be made from the client) to defeat ad blockers and load anyways? |
| | I'm going to API World + Data Week in California ... Leaving tomorrow morning and I'll be returning on the 19th. Catch everyone soon! :) |
| | I'm really sorry everyone ... Due to an SSL issue, no one was able to log into DaniWeb over the past day. I wasn't aware of the issue as I was already logged in. Soooo sorry!!  |
| | Hi everyone, I really hope that you can help me diagnose an issue with my new API. I'm having the following issue: I'm not happy with the performance of the app client at http://app.dazah.com that connects to it ... It uses cURL to issue about 3-4 API requests per page … |
| | I currently have a binary string that has been encoded with base64_encode(). However, I need to represent this string only with 0-9a-zA-Z characters. I am currently wrapping the string in bin2hex() to represent it with 0-9a-f. However, for transport reasons, I would like to compress the string by representing it …  |
| | The bug related to post attachments that got introduced over the past couple of days should now be fixed. Attachments to private messages will be coming soon. |
| | Received a bug report that people are unable to post. Testing. |
| | Hey everyone, Sorry that private messaging is still down. It's one of the main features that is being implemented through Dazah. Unfortunately, it wasn't until sticking it into a production environment when I realized that its performance is subpar and the algorithms need a major overhaul. That's what I've been … |
| | Well ... We've launched. All new code. From the ground up. Every line rewritten by yours truly. It's a bit buggy here right now, but please just give me a day or so to clear everything up. |
| | This is an important notification that DaniWeb is in the process of being upgraded, and will most likely be down and/or in read-only mode for the remainder of th is evening. When it comes back up, it *may* be buggy ... we'll see. I've rewritten every single line of code … |
| | My apologies for being so silent recently. I think this has actually been the longest I've gone without making any big changes to DaniWeb in as long as I can remember. As many of you know, I've been hard at work on my new project, Dazah, these last couple of …  |
| | I'll be going on a trip for the next 8 days with my mom and grandma. Leaving tomorrow. Will be back the evening of the 21st. See everyone soon! |

| | I wrote an About page for Dazah today, and was really hoping to get some opinions and feedback. https://www.dazah.com/welcome/about Thanks so much in advance!! |
| | Funnily enough, I have absolutely no experience with MySQL foreign keys. I'd like to change that :) My database schema is rather complicated, and I have a lot of work ahead of me, but let's simplify things. Suppose I have **Members Table:** id (PRIMARY KEY) username first_name last_name company etc … |
| | Hi everyone, As many of you know, a couple of weeks ago, I began working on a new side project, https://www.dazah.com ... After taking about two weeks, focusing all my efforts on coding and launching it, I've now resumed my focus on DaniWeb. For the past couple of days, I …  |
| | Does anyone know how to effectively do pivot tables in Google Docs? Do they work the same was as in Excel? |
| | With the new design, are you finding discussions hard to follow? In other words, is the area with the member signatures too big that it becomes confusing or requires effort to skip over them when following message after message? I'm getting a lot of confusion in that respect from multipole …  |
| | So our new design is live, but it's *far* from complete. There were quite a handful of changes that needed to be made on the backend, and I needed everyone on the same layout before I could make changes to the code base. Otherwise, it would break the old design. … |
| | Hey everyone :) Sorry I've been kind of absent from DaniWeb for the past week or so. I was actually working on a new side project. It's close to launch now, so I wanted to share it with you guys. https://www.dazah.com Keep in mind this is less than two weeks … |
| | I know that Windows 10 is now out, and it would make the most amount of sense to either rename our current Windows Vista/7/8 forum into Vista/7/8/10, or separate them out into Vista/7 and 8/10. However, due to all of our recent issues with Google, I'm trying to avoid any … |
| | My Mac address book syncs itself with my iPhone. Somehow (I think through Microsoft Entourage??) it silently added contacts to the address book for everyone I sent/received an email to/from. I now have thousands of contacts that have an email address only with no phone number, and I don't want … |
| | We just migrated to all new servers!! Yay! Please be sure to let me know if *anything* isn't working right, or seems off, ... |
| | We are currently in the process of migrating onto all new server architecture. Tonight, at approximately 9 pm EST, we will be putting the database into read-only mode while we migrate the database to its new home. Just a heads up :)  |
| | As we all know, Google is going to start factoring in mobile usability into their algorithm later this month. Over the past few days, out of no where, Google Webmaster Tools started showing an increasing number of mobile usability issues (first 124 earlier this week, and now 268 pages with … |
| | Hi, I hope someone out there can help me. Envision this ... an accounts receivable / accounts payable super simple spreadsheet, to ultimately be maintained by someone who is not computer literate. It needs to be accessible from within the cloud (Google Spreadsheet, some other free SaaS product, etc) with … |
| | What are some ways specific to forums and online communities to help reduce bounce rate?  |
| | In Google DFP Small Business, is there any way to force the same creative to display in multiple ad positions on the same page? I have Show As Many As Possible checked, but it only seems to apply to different creatives. |
| | Is anyone else seeing this new Cohort Analysis [beta] section in Google Analytics? It just showed up for me today.  |
| | I've upgraded the Markdown editor that we use to the latest version. Please let me know if anything isn't working. |
| | I just thought I'd share this because it took me a bit of time to figure out tonight. When members post content with MS Word quotes, etc., and they look funky on our UTF-8 websites, it's because those characters need to be converted to UTF-8. This bit of code worked … |
| | The Forums page (the first item in the footer toolbar) has gotten a huge overhaul today that hopefully will make it a lot more useful ... plus it brings back a bit of nostalgia from our vBulletin days. Enjoy. And let me know thoughts. https://www.daniweb.com/forums |
| | I'm thinking of going down the route where members can actually get paid to answer questions. Here's how I am thinking the concept might work, and you tell me if you think it makes sense: Currently, when you create a new thread, you can donate $1 to have the article … |
The End.
