That's not how most forums work. If you were putting up a job for hire that's one thing but here you did a short intro without enough detail. Think about your classes in system desing or others where you make your software design documents. You omitted not only that but may not know this forum well. That is, you share the issue you are having with the minimum viable example. But "hey, can you change this random code I found on the internet?" That's done when you put up a job and its pay.

About the SELECT * area. In your first code passage you don't need all the columns. I would be guessing the column name but it could be "Full Name" so the SELECT would be SELECT "Full Name".

In the future as you become a SQL guru one of the things you always look for when there are performance complaints is the old SELECT *.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

Nod to Reverend Jim but want to note it's pretty awful how many people encrypt the only copies of files/folders they have without backups in the clear elsewhere. There are plenty of discussions where the (former) file owner melts down over the losses.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

A few comments. Use the code formatting when posting code. Also, this will add line numbers so you can point out which line.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

PS. A comment about "SELECT * FROM Admin"

A common lesson from many SQL books start off with SELECT which is a bad way to learn about the SELECT command. Unless you need all columns do not use . Call out the column or columns you need. Example readings from the web: https://www.google.com/search?q=SELECT+*+is+bad

As your database grows, you will see the performance hit.

About the lbAdmin_SelectedIndexChanged method. It looks incorrect from here. You have the index and should use that to get the name you are interested in. But your handler seems to read the entire database rather than a one line SQL command like SELECT * FROM Admin where Username = your indexed name from the list.

Before you do anything else, encrypt those passwords. Your code shows a classic blunder in name and password databases. The good news is there are discussions about that with this search: https://www.google.com/search?q=vb.net+one+way+password+encryption&gl=US

Because such passwords must not be stored in the clear you have to consider what this apps is for. If it's for you and storing your own passwords you could at least encrypt it in a database. If this is for a customer or client system then you never hold their passwords like this. You use the one way system so you can never show the user passwords.

Speed Ack commented: Thank you for that observation plus suggestion, I will surely look onto that before I publish the app. +0

The more I read at http://phantomjs.org/ the more your question sounds incomplete.

PhantomJS is a headless web browser scriptable with JavaScript. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, and FreeBSD.

So if you want to call up some script from PHP, well, you would research that with something like https://www.google.com/search?q=php+run+javascript&gl=US but that would only run the script and not PhantomJS.

@gentlemedia. I suspect that there are many disingenuous Mobirise posts.

It doesn't work for me as it only tells me that something is off about Mobirise either as the product is defective or there is a campaign system which has rewards for posting reviews or on forums.

Since the Wombat One and Two source code is out there, look up how to do a diff and see what they changed.

But I have to ask, since Wombat has evolved why would anyone need to do this today? Are you leaving out some detail like homework assignment?

There are a few other Wombat and stack questions at https://www.daniweb.com/search/index?q=wombat but my answer is "I'd use a newer Wombat."

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

Sorry but I was unclear. So many sites use generic templates you can figure it out instantly. Fewer work at it and create something of their own design. If they do a good job, that's when I view source to figure out what they are using.

My take on this is most are in a hurry and fewer web site owners than ever can deal with the code underneath. It gets worse as a very high percentage don't have a backup of their data and the site code. Most seem to think the site code and data should be backed up by their hosting company.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

This sounds like an assignment and not a discussion. In most forums you show your work and point out where you have an issue so folk can weigh in on what could be amiss. If you want to put up a job for hire, you do that.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

I guess I'm just too old school about using the old View Source to check out the sites. That's the usual dead giveaway it's another WordPress site along with it's owner wanting to implement something that isn't in the templates but possible to people that write code.

@Emeka_1 Please make such requests in your own discussion. Also, it's a WordPress site plus at the bottom of the page are ways to ask the website's owner this question. I find that a lot of folk won't ask the site owner the questions. Why is that?

Please do not leave out details like USSD such as https://hackernoon.com/creating-ussd-applications-69e7d6911158

This is very uncommon so I when I read your post I think that you have a typo there. Same thing with you not telling what ENGs is.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

I know what an USB Modem is. Many enumerate to a serial port and then we would install SLIP or such to get ready to dial up the Internet.

But you want to handle all that yourself which is a huge project. I'm reading your top post and it's something you would tackle over a year.

Now if you wanted to just setup up your Internet connection the normal way you would do that then many curl some web page with the data you want but you are asking for so much more. You are asking to handle all the dial up, IP stack, drivers, all in your code. That's a huge undertaking.

My bet is what you wrote at your top post is not what you wanted to do.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

What is ENGs? https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/eng#English seems to be all over the map.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

That's a big project. And not how one would usually go about this. I can't guess if you installed the drivers and set the PC up to dial up your dial up internet service but your post as-is would be something of a many month long project if you were to say have just Windows (no drivers for the modem) and wanted code to do all that!

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

See Notes at https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php in regard to LF CR handling. I can not guess if you have that issue. You must test your messages manually at times to see if your email server accepts what headers you are creating.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

Sorry but this can't be true. At 39 dollars that's less than a hour of any programmer or consultant's fees.

I will write that I'm not happy with questions I see about Mobirise here. Look around and folk appear to be lost about what Mobirise is about. Maybe that company needs to do more about product education.

Shop around. That theme at that price is a good deal. Only those that are used to paying nothing would say it's too expensive.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

The clue here may be "Nothing's worked". Did you at least test that your email server/service is working with those (email) command by telnet?
https://www.google.com/search?q=Sending+or+viewing+emails+using+telnet&gl=US for example.

I've lost track of folk that want to send email via scripts or php and their email server doesn't allow it.

I see no code there to open a panel. That's probably why. Or you decided to not show your complete minimal viable example.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

I don't see the problem here. Apps can sit in the tray and depending on the app's coding either do nothing on a click or a right click. What you want it to do has no bearing on what happens.

If you are trying to identify what it is, you can examine your PC with tools like AUTORUNS, Hijackthis and other tools. It takes time to know your PC and if you think it's a trojan then I'd post (read THE RULES) at bleepingcomputer.com.

I worry that you didn't grasp how most forums work. Most have you share your code, issue or error messages and folk may reply with a possible fix or reason why that code fails.

If you want code written for you, that's a for-hire or code bounty type of site which do exist.

DANIWEB has a lot of experts to help you out with your code.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

@omi4u. Your post in this discussion wrote "please guide with codes". You asked for code in your other posts.

Now that you are asking for codes, you need to try again but share your code, what issue you had and the errors. Also, if I take your question in the title and google that, examples are found for you to read and try to understand.

Maybe some will write code for you but how that will fit into your ERP system would be up to you to pound into place.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

@omi4u. I took a look at your posts so far and it looks like you ask for others to write code for each problem you encounter. It's your code to write. Then when it fails then you share that code passage, the error and hopefully a minimum viable example.

Asking others to help you write your ERP function by function that you, at the end of the day don't understand is a bad idea.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

I couldn't write this is always the fix, only that it's the most common one I've used.

I've seen that but it usually comes down to USB keyboards, BIOS and settings in the BIOS. Try what options you have for USB legacy and keyboard support in the BIOS. Be aware there is no one fix for this but many. I'm sharing the one I run into.

Sending mail shouldn't be a Mobirise feature UNLESS they host the site and charge for the email service.

Look for prior "I want a web page to send email" discussions to see what is involved. You are a web developer and may have to up your game or just use the Mobirize forum. The more Mobirize questions I see the less impressed I am.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

I'm unsure if you are applying yourself here. Given https://www.google.com/search?q=PHP+PASSWORD+CHANGE+EXAMPLES&gl=US are plentiful I worry that you are not doing much research.

That aside, there are a lot of BAD EXAMPLES out there that teach password storage in insecure ways. Now your code does not reveal the usual problem where passwords are stored in the clear but if you ever find some code where the password is stored in a database then you found a bad exxample.

https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+store+passwords+for+your+website&gl=US finds articles on that subject.

You need to add more detail. "The file is damaged and should be moved to the trash." is a more common message but you may have some other language or typed from memory.

I googled "The file is damaged and should be moved to the trash." and found so many priors that well, you should tell more such as how much free space there is on drives and what are you downloading. BE SPECIFIC. Do not reply with "anything."

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

Doing what exactly? Drop the color count? I can do that in many image editors. In order to keep is free and free of toolbars I'm going to stick to image editors I see at Ninite.com.

For my example, I'll use Paint.net.
When you save your image use the save configuration options to reduce the bit depth, or # of colors.
If you save as BMP, you should see options for 24 and 8 bit color. I can't guess if you can use 8 bit color but I could and did.
Result? Smaller file, faster load times.

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

Let's hear more. The fastest to screen images I've seen are bitmapped so they incur zero decompression and decoding. I also drop the number of colors from millions to 8 if the image is simple such as a pushbutton or such.

You can't predict the speed most of the time so you test out each idea.

Something seems to be seriously wrong with the new discussion creation. Folk are picking the code snippet topic when that's for solid examples or tutorials. Not for questions.

Can you help by telling us why you choose this format for posting?

rproffitt 2,701 https://5calls.org Moderator

That's not quite enough detail. If this was mine I'd do the usual canned air cleaned (what is and how to use is on the web for those that don't know how.) If that doesn't help I'd share a Web Speccy report which can reveal issues. Read how to share the link to the report at https://www.piriform.com/docs/speccy/using-speccy/publishing-a-speccy-profile-to-the-web

One of the other things I run into are clients that update drivers. Don't do that if the machine is working. After the Web Speccy report I may advise to use DDU (google that) and install the drivers that Dell issues for your machine at Dell.com using your service tag after we disable Windows 10's driver updater.

I've received unsolicited messages too. Some were spam and you covered that by banning them.

Just like Jim, I will just ignore folk that try to connect and there is no details about them. If their profile is that sparse and they do nothing to start the relationship I'm going to ignore this as spam or an attempt at some phishing or other bad behavior.

In other words, the system as it stands does not foster what your wrote about as there is no way to find out what this person is about. We can speculate if this is a system flaw or the person that sent the message but to me, it's just a system I don't understand since you can't ban a spammer. To me this is something that once the spammers figure out they can't be banned then they may weaponise it.
