I don't know, the contact info was blank after you told me to check... Thought I hadn't entered them, but halfaw through editing my profile I remembered I had. I then edited my profile again (the Google+ url was too long) and it had cleared the info again.

Re: undefine index error

Well, straight forward I can see something very wrong with your code: you didn't define any <head> tags, and you closed the <body> tag without opening it.

About the error, I just tried that exact same code and I had no problem. The only way that should give you trouble is if you try to access the home.php by itself, not through the form.

Re: Notification System

The other way around: I'd like to be notified by email (I could get a reply while I'm not logged in), but I also would like to get notified on-site. I'm aware of the "Watched Articles" link at the top of the page, but I think something can be added to let you know if a watched article has been updated since the last time you watched it. For example, the number notification in facebook.

The way I see it (maybe this makes my point any clearer), it's as if facebook didn't show the little red number besides the notification button. That way, you can't know straight forward when you have new updates.

Re: Notification System

Though, going all the way to my email to check when my article was updated seems to me like a way too long process. For instance, just now I was checking some old articles (remembering some old times) while expecting a response to this post. A notification system would've indicated me when your answer was posted. I am in favor to a weekly digest showing the posts in which you participated and such, but I also think a notification system would make things easier.

Perhaps it could be integrated as a number thingy (I don't know what's it called, but the same thing as in facebook, when a new notification is in order) in the "Watched Articles" link at the top? That way there's no major change in the interface.

Notification System

Hey guys.

Although I've stated several times that I absolutely love the new DaniWeb, I feel that something big has been left out: a nofitication system. How can I know when someone has replied to a post I've made, or to a reply I made to a post? I feel the only way of knowing that is by watching the "All Articles" tab in the homepage, or the "Recently Updated Articles". Though, what happens if I go away for two days and want to check out which of the articles I recently posted in have had replies?

Therefore, I'd recommend adding a Notifications button in the lower menu bar (or in the upper menu, besides the username) showing how many articles have been updated (with replies, marked as solved) in a facebook/stack overflow manner. I think it'd make things easier for some of us.

Greetings to all, and as I said, I LOVE the new site :D

Re: Related Articles

Perhaps the related article could be relocated? For some time (I can't remember if it was only for non-registered viewers), the OP's first post had a reduced width to make space for ads. Why not make that space for related articles? That way, there can be a list of related articles, IMO non intrusive to the reader and at the same time only appealing to anyone interested in viewing that space. Related

Re: Live editor preview - yay or nay?

Yay for me. It's my second day using it (I went away for a long time) and I'm absolutely loving it. pyTony has a point though, about long posts. Maybe make it somewhat scrollable, so it won't change the page size that much, scrolling as you type.

I'm also in favor of a toggle option. I agree with deceptikon in that an AJAX popup would be unintrusive, though I'd rather see my output as I write. Perhaps though this could be included in the options panel for the Preview Pane? Maybe options can be:

Off
On (live preview)
On (pop-up preview)

Re: Frameset vs Iframe

Question: Why do you need to use a frameset/iframe? Those are some quite obsolete methods that can now be replaced by client running processes, like javascript or ajax. There are only so many cases where you actually need to use iframes.

If this is so the case, you can always nest the iframe from inside the first document you are loading. That is: the first page loads a page in an iframe that also loads a page in an iframe.

Check the data in the cell, since it probably has an error, so it displays the row as if it was a different entry. If it recognized the data as distinct, it probably is.

Re: -minus 1 or 2 - with drop box from inventory

You can create an array that tracks which items have been selected, so everytime an item is selected it adds +1 to the item's value in the array. Then, after the form is submitted (or in the form submit action) you call the function that stores the data into de db, so that it runs the database update for every element in the array.

Re: What does main() function do in? difference between void main() and int mai

well, the main() function, the int main() and the void main() all do the same, which is process the main process of the program. The difference is int main() is the only right way of calling it, since every program, when called, returns an "error message" that the OS interprets, in which case, closing the program with a return 0; tells the process calling your program that it ended without a problem.

As for include <iostream> and using namespace std;, the first one calls the library to be used in the program... There's A LOT of libraries you can use, and there's infinite possibilities of libraries you can create to use in your program. The second one declares the namespace to be used from the libraries you are calling, in this case, the std namespace of the iostream library.

Re: program that works automatically on server

I once did this for a vote counting project on national elections. The users would send a SMS with a pre-established string format to a certain phone number, and a text file would be downloaded from the phone company owning the phone number receiving the SMSs to my server. The server would have a running program constantly processing the text file checking for new data entry, in which case it would update the database.

In your case, if I'm not mistaken, it's a similar case: you get data from the web, maybe it could update a text file or a separate database (which could contain some kind of sentinel variable, such as "checked" or something in a column of the table) which is constantly checked by the program running on the server. This program would then process the "unchecked" data in the file or database and add it along with the variables you need to insert to the database.

Hope this is of any help.

Re: how to count view on your site?

Have you any knowledge of php sessions? If so, create a session variable for every user that logs in, adding up to the counter stored in your database. Assing a timeout period for the session, so that once the user has been away for that time period (say, 30 minutes), another logon to the site will count as a new visit.

Tweet scheduler

Hello guys

I've recently taken participation in a music project (feel free to check us out at @lettherebmusic) where we tweet music info about a certain topic every day. I actually use tweetdeck to schedule tweets for the whole day, so that content is available all day long. The thing is, it's exhausting to input every tweet individually, so I've thought of a way of inputting the whole content, and have a webpage process it to separate every tweet individually... All that I'm missing is the API call to schedule the tweet. Anyone know how?

Tl;dr I need to know what's the API call in software like tweetdeck or hootsuite that lets you schedule tweets.

P.S. I have thought of the possibility that this is a standalone software that loads tweets from a database and feeds them to the API to post them at the time they are programmed. Could there not be a schedule API call, and instead be this the way these softwares work?

Re: 3 divs in a row - how to center the middle div?

If you're looking for a blog layout of some sort (three columns, and such) you should consider setting the widths by percentage, thus making the sizes relative to the column container (the outer div).

As for the column alignment, you could float all the columns left. That way, the left one goes first, the middle one in the middle, and the last one to the right.

Re: Homework Question

If you're promting the user to enter a filename to which you'll save the information, I'd recommend you ask for it in a separate function, since reading it from the main() function means sending the parameters when executing the program, either from a shortcut link or a shell call from another program.

Just use a function prompting the user (via printf or cout) to enter a filename.

Re: javascript set html file object reset on form submit

javascript set html file object reset on form submit

I'm developing a web app in which I have a file upload option. The thing is, my file input is hidden, and instead, a textbox and a button are used, in order to style the input, copy the file input's value and allowing the user write a link address into the textbox (the php upload page recognizes the text in the textbox and takes action if the text is a hyperlink or a file upload).

The problem is, when I submit the form, the php is catching the file input's value as empty. So I removed the hidden property of the file input, in order to check what was wrong, and I noticed the input's value is being reset on form submit. When not hidden it takes me two button clicks to submit the form, being the first one the responsible for cleaning the file input. Though, if I assign it's value directly from the input object, it works perfectly.

What is going on?

Here's the code:

<form name="frmProject" id="frmProject" method="post" target="uploadTrg" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="upload.php">
    <div>
        <input type="textbox" class="frmObject" name="fakeFile" id="fakeFile" />
        <button type="button" class="frmObject" id="btnFile" >
            <img src="images/open.png" height="20" />
        </button><br />
        <input type="file" id="trueFile" name="trueFile" />
    </div>
    <input type="button" class="frmObject" id="postDetailButton" value="Save" />
</form>

The javascript taking action into the submitting process (and form processing) is as follows:

$("#trueFile").live("change", function(){
    $("#fakeFile").val($(this).val());
});

$("#postDetailButton").live("click", function(){
    $("#frmProject").submit();
});

$("#btnFile").live("click", function(){
    $("#trueFile").trigger("click");    
});

Row style difference

Hello guys

I have two table styles for a web application, in which the tables rows are clickable as objects (meaning, clicking anywhere in the <tr></tr> tag will send the click command.

The problem is, my two table styles behave differently. I want the row to change background color on hover, so that, if my cursor is anywhere on the row (any cell), the row will activate the on hover style.

The first style works perfectly, though the second not as much. My two styles are as follows:

#formProyectoContainer .form  .table
{
	background-color:#fff;
	background-image:url("images/tblBackground.png");
	background-repeat:no-repeat;
	background-position:bottom right;
	
	border:inset 2px #ccf;
	border-radius:5px;
	-moz-border-radius:5px;
	
	overflow:auto;
	width:100%;
	height:200px;
}

#formProyectoContainer .form  .table table
{
	background-repeat:no-repeat;
	background-position:bottom right;

	border-collapse:collapse;
	border-radius:5px;
	width:100%
}

#formProyectoContainer .form  .table table tr
{
	background-image:url("images/tblRowBackground.png");
	border: 1px solid #fff;
	cursor:pointer;
}

#formProyectoContainer .form  .table table thead tr th
{
	background-color:#bbc;
	cursor:default;
}

#formProyectoContainer .form  .table table tr:hover
{
	background-image:url("images/tblRowBackgroundHover.png");
}

#formProyectoContainer .form  .table table tr td, #formProyectoContainer .form  .table table thead tr th
{
	padding:8px;
}

This one above works fine. The one I have problems with is this one

.tableDetalle
{

	background-color:#fff;
	background-image:url("images/tblBackground.png");
	background-repeat:no-repeat;
	background-position:bottom right;
	
	border:inset 2px #ccf;
	border-radius:5px;
	-moz-border-radius:5px;
	
	overflow:auto;
	width:96%;
	height:85%;
	
	margin:20px;
	position:absolute;
	
	font-size:small;
	
}

.tableDetalle table
{
	border-collapse:collapse;
	border-radius:5px;
	width:100%
}

.tableDetalle table tr
{
	background-image:url("images/tableGrey.png");
	border:solid 1px #ccc;
	cursor:pointer;
}

.tableDetalle table thead tr th
{
	background-color:#ccc;

The thing is, I'm stuck in that place many of other entrepreneurs have seen themselves stuck for a while: what the hell will I name it? Well, in service of the community, I thing it might be good to start a name thread so that people like myself can stop by and take a hint for a cool name, in accordance to what they are looking for.

What you listed is some of the information I'm looking for. Maybe if I get my own default stylesheet developed I'll post it here. What I see missing from your list is things like body and h tags.

Well, that is because I didn't include it.

The tags are as follows:

{

#navbar
{
display:inline-block;
}

#content
{
width:100%;
}

#footer
{

And so on and so on... This is the basic layout, where I specify the main containers of my web page. From here you may apply styles as you wish.

In which, if you replace and resume, it is

Re: Adding a percentage to a number

Your formula for percentage is wrongly stated, since you are multiplying the percentage to the months and adding it to the total, so the total is not actually participating in the percentage.

Besides, your percentage conversion is wrong. Remember 0.3% != 0.3 but 0.3% = 0.003 .

So, that said, your formula should be 300 + (0.003 * 10) the way you stated it. And, to take the percentage of the amount you want to operate, change the '+' for an '*', and you're set. Like this:

300 * (0.003 * 10)
