Ouch, that would suck if smart FTP wasn't there to the rescue there Ross.

Ahh yeah, I remember you telling me about your host deleting your account for some reason.

Also my files are fine, they have to make a new database user for me, not sure what that meant. But they should be making it now, and setting my files back into the correct place. {Smile}

Well DM, as you know I have had a problem like that more then once, and its not to do me not having a backup, its more or less do to the host screwing up and deleting my account completely or updating their system, and in doing this not allowing my backup to work {Unsure} I can't wait till I am able to get a good server to host my own sites off of {Unsure}

If you fall I’ll catch, if you love I’ll love, And so it goes, my dear, don’t be scared, you’ll be safe,
This I swear. If you only love me back.

Re: UGH!!!!!! (13th Mar 10 at 5:48pm EST)
I had a very close call last week. Not due to a problem with the hosting company but due to a problem with me {Shocked}

I ran an install script for our content management system which I developed (and have spent the past 2 weeks recoding to make it even better). I did something wrong during the process (I ran it as a re-install rather than an install) which caused it to mess up a bit. I went to undo that (so I could reinstall from scratch) and accidentally deleted the most important folder on the entire server - the folder which contained 90% of the front end code, 90% of the admin panel code and 90% of the installation code for all of the modules. A folder which there was no recent backup of and no other copy of (the most recent backup was from 2 weeks ago)!

Fortunately there was a happy ending... I was able to go into my temporary files (SmartFTP stores a copy of everything I edit there) and get all of the missing files from there. That could have been disastrous! {Sad}

So... I've now written an auto-backup script which will create a compressed file of every important directory on the server 3 times a week. Next week I'm going to setup one of the machines in the office to automatically download and store these {Cool}

As for the subject of this topic, I've been fairly fortunate with my hosts. We've had many issues, with various companies but they've always dealt with the issue well and (as far as I can remember) we've never lost any files. I think we had a close call once on the server this support forum runs on - it was after replacing a failing HDD one of the databases became locked with no way of accessing the data within it. The hosts (Big Wet Fish) managed to restore it from the file on the old HDD {Smile}

My host allows me to have automatic backups emailed to me on a regular basis, so no, I've never had that issue. {Tongue Out}

Re: UGH!!!!!! (13th Mar 10 at 11:53am EST)
I love my host. I host a website there that uses 250 gb bandwidth a month. x_x. They're awesome. I pay extra for the bandwidth, but I like their rates.

I paid 32 bucks for six months of really good 100% uptime hosting. The guys that run it are awesome and kind. (This was before I moved my big site there). I love them even more with my big site there though it costs more xD. The rates are really good and they're an American company.

Ahh I see.

I guess that's the price you pay when you go with a free host. >_< But also neglect on my part to. {Tongue Out}

Nope.

I keep my own backups.

My host emails me a copy of my backup each week.

UGH!!!!!! (13th Mar 10 at 1:35am EST)
-_-.....

So, I had my host change my site link from thedirectory.2x.nu to idirectory.2x.nu they had a DNS problem after they changed it... and then they had to back up all my data, and that was last week... Well so tonight I messaged the support back, and asked them what's going on, and they said one of my files were corrupted, and said they would have to re-do my site. I am hoping that it's not the HTML, and PHP files Dwight had set up for me.... I just hope it's not that, and that it's one of their stuff... because this is a big pain, if it is....


Has anyone of you had any problems with your hosts like this?

-_-

Add custom class/ids to urls (12th Mar 10 at 12:06am EST)
I would like to be able to use class= and id= in urls.

On a board of just me and a few others we have syndicated tooltips but we cannot use the syndicated 3d model viewer or the icon class attributes to call them from a script.

I would love the ability to declare my own class and id in UBBC urls,.

I still say pre... then you can make apps for it ... they're simple to make ... {Tongue Out}



Looking at the difference in features, I don't think there's any that are worth the extra £10pm {Unsure} The better touch-screen maybe but I don't think I'm going to use it that often as for it to become an issue.

As for Apps, this device is supposed to make me more efficient - it's not supposed to create more work for me {Tongue Out}

Graphical confirm logout (10th Mar 10 at 10:40pm EST)
Its been awhile, so I thought I'd write up a quick code {Tongue Out}

Cross Browser: Yes, tested in FF 3.6 and IE 8.0.6
Preview: -Clicky-
Description: Similar to the usual 'confirm logout' it asks if you would like to log out or not, but this one uses images! {Grin}

Place both in Main Header

Style:
Code:
 
  1. <style>
  2. #logOff {
  3. position: fixed;
  4. z-index: 2;
  5. width: 300px;
  6. height: 220px;
  7. top: 50%;
  8. left: 50%;
  9. margin: -100px 0 0 -150px;
  10. padding: 0;
  11. }
  12.  
  13. #logOff h3 {
  14.   margin: 0 0 20px 0;
  15.   padding: 0;
  16. }
  17.  
  18. #logOff ul {
  19.   list-style: none;
  20.   margin: 0;
  21.   padding: 0;
  22. }
  23.  
  24. #logOff ul li {
  25.   margin: 0 0 20px 0;
  26. }
  27. </style>
  28.  
 


dont really need to edit the style much unless you know what you are doing.

Code:
Code:
 
  1. <script type="text/JavaScript">
  2. <!--
  3. //Graphical Confirm Logout
  4. //Written by Dranew
  5.  
  6. //Coninue Image
  7. var cnt = "URL OF CONTINUE IMAGE";
  8. cntHeight = "52px";
  9. cntWidth = "194px";
  10.  
  11. //Cancel Image
  12. var can = "URL OF CANCEL IMAGE";
  13. canHeight = "52px";
  14. canWidth = "194px";
  15.  
  16. var gLog = {
  17.   sLog:function() {
  18.     var log = get('menu_buttons','id').getElementsByTagName('a')
  19.          log = log[get('menu_buttons','id').getElementsByTagName('a').length-1]
  20.  
  21.     if(vf_username != 'guest'){
  22.       log.href = 'javascript:gLog.showLog()';
  23.     }
  24.   },
  25.  
  26.   bLog:function() {
  27.     var tbl = '<div id="logOff" style="display:none;">';
  28.          tbl += '<table class="border" align="center" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" width="100%">';
  29.          tbl += '<tr><td class="title1" width="100%"><span class="title">Log off</span></td></tr>';
  30.          tbl += '<tr><td class="window1" align="center"><h3>You are now logging off</h3>';
  31.          tbl += '<ul><li><a href="/action/logout"><img src="'+cnt+'" height = "'+cntHeight+'" width="'+cntWidth+'" border="0" /></a></li>';
  32.          tbl += '<li><a href=javascript:gLog.showLog()><img src="'+can+'" height = "'+canHeight+'" width="'+canWidth+'" border="0" /></a></li></ul>';
  33.          tbl += '</tr></table></div>';
  34.          document.write(tbl);
  35.   },
  36.  
  37.   showLog:function() {
  38.     var eLog = get('logOff','id')
  39.     eLog.style.display = (eLog.style.display == "none")? '':'none';
  40.   }
  41. }
  42.  
  43. gLog.bLog();
  44. gLog.sLog();
  45.  
  46. //-->
  47. </script>
  48.  
 


now, to edit:

//Coninue Image
var cnt = ""; is the URL of the "continue" Image
cntHeight = "52px"; is the Height of the "continue" image
cntWidth = "194px"; is the Width of the "continue" image

//Cancel Image
var can = ""; is the URL of the "cancel" image
canHeight = "52px"; is the Height of the "cancel" image
canWidth = "194px"; is the Width of the "cancel" image

Re: Javascript + PHP (9th Mar 10 at 5:26pm EST)
yea aiken, this was the problem I was having with getting the IM system working {Tongue Out} the Ajax didn't like the cross domain. Though as for your flat file question

you can use php function fileopen with the function fileread and filewrite *I think thats what they are called* you'd have to google how the functions work, but you could also look into setting up a flat file database with PHP, but i can tell you know, it depends on how advanced you want to go, it might be better to just use mysql to store the information then storing it as a fiat file system.

If you fall I’ll catch, if you love I’ll love, And so it goes, my dear, don’t be scared, you’ll be safe,
This I swear. If you only love me back.

Re: Portable Web Browsing (9th Mar 10 at 7:45am EST)
Been meaning to come back to this for a while {Tongue Out}

Hmm, I had read a few reviews on each and they all seemed fairly positive. Are we looking at the same model? (I'm unsure where the LG Glimmer comes into this?). I've used other LG products and have been very happy with them. Based on the reviews I read, I am leaning towards the LG InTouch because of its' keyboard. But if there is a problem with it then please point me in the right direction {Smile}
