[wdvltalk] ESRI's ArcGIS
Hi guys Does anybody have, or knows of anybody with, experience in working with ESRI's ArcGIS geodatabase services and software? I've been approached to work on a health tracking system using a lot of geodata and so far ESRI's site isn't too helpful in taking somebody new to the system through the fundamentals. Secondary to this, and something really for UK-based developers, the client is open to hiring an somebody with ArcGIS experience to help with this project and lead me through the initial learning stages. Please contact me off-list if there's anybody interested in taking up this paid role and we'll talk shop. Assistance as always is appreciated.

[wdvltalk] PHP job opportunity - will discuss details off list
Hi list I'm in over my head a little and running out of time with a job I have on at the moment, so I'm looking for some help with certain aspects of it. Part of the project is a basic scheduler/calendar system that will allow back-end users to assign courses to the calendar from a list held in a database. The duration of courses can be a set number of days spread out over time, such as once a week, a concurrent block of days (skipping weekends) or a couple of hours in a single day. The same course, however, can be scheduled a number of times. At this stage there doesn't need to be any facility for capacity or clashing schedules, nor does it need to be styled in anyway - I'll be integrating it into the overall site. I will need though a run-down of how it works and such so I know what's going on - this will be the core of a number of off-shoot systems (such as users booking in on a scheduled course or booking in on allocated studio time) and I can then extend it at a later date. It doesn't have to be the greatest, slickest piece of coding ever - it just needs to work. I've looked through many open-source systems and to be honest they're either self-contained apps so I'd have problems integrating it into my project as a whole, or I've gotten lost trying to reverse-engineer them so I can do my own. And to be honest I want to learn from this so I want to have my own system I can develop. If anybody's interested, drop me a line off-list as soon as possible so we can discuss timescales, money, etc. and I can work you in as part of my schedule.

[wdvltalk] Calendar and booking system in PHP
Hi list I'm trying to write a simple calendar and booking system in PHP. What I want to achieve is assigning a timeslot to any given course from a database. The course would define its duration in days and using that information allocate time in the calendar. My PHP is rudimentary at best and although I can do basic database-driven stuff, I'm having a hard time approaching this one. How do I go about generating a calendar? How do I assign time slots and avoid weekends? I've tried downloading a number of calendars and booking systems to try and reverse engineer, or at least see how they've approached it, but everything's either paid for, heavily complex (and thus goes over my head mostly) or don't do what I want. So, I turn to you guys here. I guess for now I'm really after enlightenment on the fundamentals of it all - how do I structure my database and generate a calendar. From there I guess once I know how my days are stored I can work out how to assign different data to those dates, but any tips on that would be good. Ta muchly for any pointers on this one.

Re: [wdvltalk] Monthly reminder e-mails in PHP
Cheers Dave I did think the big bit was going to be dealing with different month lengths and to be honest I'll probably fudge the numbers and round down start dates to the 28th avoiding this problem entirely.

[wdvltalk] Monthly reminder e-mails in PHP
Hi list I'm working on a training feedback project whereby users will supply a monthly report on how they feel their training is going and how well they are meeting their personal proficiency targets. The client would rather not rely on the users' memory to do these reports and would like a reminder e-mail sent out automatically every month. How would I go about doing this? As a user can take their course at any time in the month I'd need to send them a reminder on that date every calendar month. Tips and pointers muchly appreciated.

Re: [wdvltalk] strange mssql problem
Steve: I had to use SQL Server recently and I found it to be a pain with things like this, especially when I have next-to-no experience with it. I can't really suggest where to look to fix your issues directly, but two things I found very useful in working out my own issues: -- write a script in ASP (if you can) that performs the same operations on this table as you're trying to do in PHP to see if there's any problem interfacing with this table over web techs (for some reason I did) -- if you don't already have it, try accessing the SQL Server using SQL Server Management Studio (tis free from MSDN) and have a play. There's some nice tools in there to check connections, permissions and such, plus you can run queries directly through the GUI and get feedback. I think there's also extensive logging you can access too so that might show up weirdness if things don't behave the way you'd expect. Sorry I can't help much more than that!

Re: [wdvltalk] [OT] Windows Licensing Queries...
Picking up something on Tim said, in my experience I've never needed any CALs whatsoever. I've always had teh server serving some data access or whatever and all connections to those services have either been web access or similar generic calls from locally-run apps - because I've never had any actual specific user with accounts log in to the server and have specific user stuff on there you don't need CALs. Even if your VB app is using specific user logons, you may still not need CALs because you're only transferring data to a central store. You will need CALs if you're storing user-specific information on the server and local user accounts require authentication with the server and retrieve settings (like a domain logon). So yeah, work out exactly how, what and why the VB app is connecting to the server, how that relates to user logos and then call M$.

Re: [wdvltalk] PHP and HTML output of the same page render differently in IE
And I don't know if it matters any more but personally I'd add a space before the closing slash in your input tag and all similar self-closing tags. MOU Matthew, It seems that Firefox is more forgiving than IE when it comes to little things like closing slashes. It's pretty amazing that an entire page can explode when one is missing but in IE it can. Check these lines out in your source code: Document Metadata Document Title: Your closing label tag is missing the slash.

Re: [wdvltalk] url rewrite help needed
Sounds to me that you'll have much better luck approaching this in a much more secure way instead of trying to fudge through limited tools available to you. If this school is even partially serious about protecting its pupils then they should be open to discussion and you can illustrate these difficulties you're having and the best way to achieve this goal. To be honest though if this sensitive information is run from the school's intranet then either they need to set up a secure VPN so you can dial-in directly to the intranet or you simply don't provide external access - if the school wants this information accessible then they should really give the pupils provision to access it within school hours.

Re: [wdvltalk] JavaScript/CSS question
Riva: CSS properties would be found in an object's "style" property. The JavaScript names are the same usually as the CSS names, only the JavaScript equivalent of hyphenated names is to remove the hyphen and capitalise the second word. The values you give them are the same as the CSS values For example... obj.style.display = "block" is the same as display: block obj.style.marginTop = "10px" is the same as margin-top: 10px I had a look at the link you gave and couldn't see what you were referring to I'm afraid. From what I gather from your post though you want the form to move up and down depending on whether or not a menu dropdown is visible or not. Personally, instead of setting the CSS top property of the form (presumably that's what you're thinking) I'd just write your HTML to have your menu dropdowns as block elements inside your document flow (i.e. not position:absolute which makes them floaty layers over the top of everything else) and then use display:block or display:none to switch them on and off - the document flow will change depending on if the menu is physically rendered or not and the browser will shunt the form up and down accordingly. Dead rough example: This is a paragraph So is this If you set the second paragraph's display CSS to "none" it will physically not render which will shunt the form up a bit underneath paragraph 1. If you then set paragraph 2's display back to "block" it will render and the form will shunt back down again. Have a look at http://thenvqcentre.co.uk/funding.php (it's not quite finished yet so watch out for weird floating) and select you want to train for NVQ Level 2 (allow pop-ups for this one if you have to). You'll see how the yes | no block shunts down every time a new question is confirmed, as do the end messages. Is that the sort of thing you're talking about, only being able to shunt upwards too? MOU Portman wrote: Hi all, I was wondering if it is possible to find out the value of a css property (using JavaScript) and then change it? For example, I have a form under a drop down menu. The client wants the form to move down as the menu expands. I made the drop down menu using jQuery and I have figured out how to get the form to drop when the menu opens, but I cannot figure out how to get the form to move back up again, or drop a different amount depending on which link in the drop down menu the user clicks.

Thanks Dave I do like the radio button idea. I'll run both approaches past the client to see what they'd find more intuitive.

> Do you have a page we can look at? OK I've put a rough demo up. Start at http://thenvqcentre.co.uk/admin/quals.php to list all qualifications in the system (there's only 1 so far for testing). From here either create a new qualification to see the course units list fully populated or edit the existing one to see all 3 lists populate appropriately. In the edit screen, you can see what I want to achieve in terms of operation: all the course units on the left, mandatory and optional units on the right, add and remove between lists using the buttons. Saving the qualification will display POST data. As you can see, there's no entry for "man" or "opt" as no items in the lists were clicked. As I said in the initial message I realise now that this is how a is supposed to work, but I've been a dope and gone down this route trying to get it to do something entirely different. So now you've seen what I want to achieve, any suggestions on how to do it properly? Is using lists in this way incorrect or can I make it work? What are the alternatives? Ta muchly peeps.

[wdvltalk] Creating a list of entries to submit in a form
Me again I'll tell you something, my brain has gone totally blank and I can't figure out what I'm supposed to be doing. In my qualifications project thingy, I have all my course units data stored in my database (thanks Matt!) and want to put them all in a big list so the user can select which ones they want to add to their qualification either as mandatory units or optional units. I then want to submit the contents of these mandatory and optional lists with my form and put their data in the relevant data tables. Not a problem in theory, but I've hit a problem with building the HTML interface that's hurting my very fragile brain. What I've done so far is used 3 objects set as lists with some buttons and a smattering of Javascript to move these list items around - selecting an item in the course units list and clicking the add buttons successfully adds that item to the mandatory or optional units lists as appropriate and removes it from available units. The process is reversible too. Then I try to submit the thing. Even though the lists have options in them, unless I actually select any of the options contained no data for that list is submitted - obvious looking back on it as that's how these form controls work. Am I barking up the wrong tree using boxes for this? Can I use Javascript to internally select every item in the list as soon as I submit the form? Is there a better way of doing it? Clear as mud I know, but cheers in advance.

Re: [wdvltalk] Help with MySQL database design and operation
Thanks Matthews Yahoo's no longer letting me send via their SMTP servers so until recently I've not been able to actually communicate with the list - not that I've been able to help much recently anyway! I'm all fully moved to GMail now so that's one less thing to worry about. Let me go over this so I know I've got it right in my head - you have a table detailing qualification data only, a table detailing course unit data only and then a third table that defines the lists of course units the qualifications have in them. Adding a course unit to a qualification would actually add a record to the third table, so even though the same course code may appear in a number of records, each record is only assigned to one qualification. Ah I get you - many-to-one and one-to-many relationships. Cool! Makes sense to me. I'll press on and get back to you - virtual beers on their way!

[wdvltalk] Help with MySQL database design and operation
Hi List - been a while. In a nutshell my knowledge of database design and operation is very basic so I come to you for some advice on how best to set up a simple database and how to carry out certain operations on it. What I want to achieve is a database of qualifications that a user can search through. Each qualification is made up of a title, qualification level (1 to 4, can be multiple values), a list of mandatory units and a list of optional units. These units come from a user-managed list. Each unit is made up of a title and a type (mandatory or optional). Here's what I'm thinking so far: Units table has a unique record ID, title text, type text Qualifications table has a unique record ID, title text, level text (comma-delimited values), mandatory units text (comma-delimited values of units ID), optional units text (comma-delimited values of units ID). First off, is this the best way of doing it? As each qualification lists units drawn from data in the units table, is using a comma-delimited list of unit IDs the best way of building that list, or are there alternatives? The main operation I need a hand with is deleting units from the units table. Obviously, if I delete a unit I want it removed from all qualifications that use it automatically. With that in mind, again, is a comma-delimited list of unit IDs in qualifications records the best way, and is there any easy way of updating all qualifications records at once if I delete a unit record. I'm using PHP and MySQL for this. For now, help specifically with this would be appreciated as the client has moved the deadline forward so I don't have much in-depth reading time, however any resources that would help educate me in the wonderful world of MySQL database design and SQL would be would be welcome. I await your wisdom!

[wdvltalk] Securing web traffic
Hi list There's always something new to learn and this is the first time I've really needed to secure a web session in a client project, and I'm after a few pointers if I may... Fundamentally, the project is an online questionnaire which stores responses in a back-end database. That database can be queried by the client and reports generated. Easy stuff. Now given the nature of the data can be considered sensitive (mental health in the workplace) the client wants this to be as secure as possible. So my questions are twofold: Firstly, shall I just secure the login process and set a session cookie or do I secure the entire session? Secondly, how exactly do I go about it? As far as I gather I don't necessarily need to do anything different in programming but I'll need to run everything through SSL and have the appropriate certificates. Or am I wrong here?

Deb: Is the laptop set up to boot from the CD because regardless of what's happened to the hard drive you shouldn't get this message if you're successfully booting from the CD. You'll need to get into the laptop's BIOS and change the boot settings (or boot priority) to fire off the CD-ROM first.

[wdvltalk] Regular Expressions in PHP
Hi all After many years of head-scratching trying to get to grips with Regular Expressions, I've come to a point in a project where I must utilise their power but I'm hitting brick walls already. I've writing a typography parser to convert standard keyboard-inputted characters into their typographical counterparts (quotation marks into curly quotes, proper Em and En dashes, etc.). I think I can identify characters based on patterns but I can't properly replace them. For example, I want to change a standard keyboard dash (the one paired with the underscore) into an Em dash when it's sandwiched between two numbers. Let's say we have in our string 45-78 I can successfully identify that dash with the pattern [0-9]-[0-9] but the string returned will be 5-7 so when I go to replace with my Em dash, it replaces the whole found string, not just the dash, giving 4—8 when I want 45—78 Obviously there's something big time I'm missing, or is my pattern incorrect? I want to identify a dash that is preceded and succeeded by a number, and change the dash only. Any help out there?

RE: [wdvltalk] OT: Ram question
Deb It's more of a power consumption issue than a performance issue when you talk about filling up your RAM slots. There's only a negligible performance difference when running 2x2GB against 4x1GB, but having 4 slots in your motherboard will draw a little more power if green computing is something you're interested in. The big performance issue is in regards to dual-channel mode that is part of today's multi-thread/multi-core processors, and this goes back to processors as far as Intel's Hyperthreaded Pentium 4s (so about 4 years). In order to run in dual-channel mode, i.e. run multiple processes in parallel for best performance, you must run matched pairs of RAM sticks. If you run an odd number of sticks, dual-channel mode will be disabled and you'll get a significant performance hit. Now, 32-bit Windows XP has the 4GB RAM limit because of the way 32-bit systems do their internal addressing. The upper limit of RAM you'll see is 3.6GB, so you will get some use of the 4th/2nd stick, but the key here is that you'll have to sacrifice this capacity in order to benefit from dual-channel mode when you run over 2GB of RAM. Truth be told, short of editing HD video footage or doing some crazy 3D rendering I don't think you need to increase your RAM from 2GB. Might be better to put the money into something else, like a new processor if your current system architecture will allow and upgrade.

Re: [wdvltalk] Flash alternatives
I'd concur to a degree that an all-Flash site is probably not the way to go for most clients, especially if you have to learn Flash as you go, but on a personal level I would actively encourage you to dive and give it a go because Flash is a long way away from the "fancy intro and overkill animation" monstrosity everybody loved to hate a few years back, and if put into the right hands it really is flipping the bird to a lot of its critics and naysayers: ⢠Actionscript is built on the same ECMA spec as Javascript so you can jump in and figure a lot out quickly if you have any previous JS experience ⢠Flash accessibility with version 8 covers a good deal of bases (Flash 9 is set to be even better) and doesn't seem to be too hard once you know your way around Flash (although I've not had time to have a proper go at it yet) ⢠It's more than just "pretty" - data-driven and data-heavy applications are just as viable as animations (I'm adding the finishing touches to a v1 Flash-PHP content management system as we speak and I'm pretty excited to be honest!) ⢠Flash video kicks the crap out of any other web video format not only in terms of quality and file sizes, but also ease of delivery - no codecs to worry about it's all delivered through the Flash Player ⢠Google can read and index Flash content if you create it properly (and there are rumours that Yahoo! is close to doing it too) To be entirely honest, I don't have a problem with all-Flash sites and similar rich media experiences and it's not going to be very long before all these accessibility and SEO problems are going to be worked out. And when it's viable, everybody's going to want them. It was the same with Flash intros - everybody wanted them because "they look cool" and "everybody else has them" - so I say get a head start. And don't both with anything other than the full, real-deal Flash. Personally, I really don't like these Flash-content creators as they always seem to be one-trick ponies, geared purely towards animation or rudimentary interactivity with no control of what happens under the hood (Adobe LiveMotion anybody?) aimed at the bottom end of web "designers" who think because they can type words into FrontPage they are "professional". Flash 9's out pretty soon and under £328 for the standard Flash 8 is good value I reckon (and £575 for the Professional aint bad either). Yeah, I like Flash :P MOU ___ Try the all-new Yahoo! Mail.

RE: [wdvltalk] Picture question
If the images are pixelated it's more than likely you've had to scale up the images to get them that big - what was your original source? Digital cameras don't shoot as big as 5" x 7" 300dpi so you've pretty much doubled (or even tripled) the size of the file to fit the dimensions, which will cause horrible pixelation and distortion. Try doing things the old fashioned way - print the images out at their native size on good quality paper and settings then scan them in at 600dpi. You should then have enough material to work with the then *shrink* the images to your required size, which will maintain quality and get rid of most of the Moiré patterns you'll get with high-res scanning (although it's advisable to do that clean-up before you shrink). Can't offer any specific advice with GIMP though as I'm a Photoshop boy all round...always worth the money. MOU ___ All new Yahoo!

Re: [wdvltalk] Menu wording question
How about: Specialist menu Alternative menu Pre-order menu or if you're not a fan of repeating menu too much Specialist catering Event catering For events Truth be told if you have a navigation element dedicated to choices of menus I'd drop the "menu" altogether to have something like (drawing on your listed items already) Restaurant/Dinner Catering Gourmet Dessert Specialist Event etc. as "menu" is implied by the topic of the site/section. You could prefix the navigation itself with something like "Our menus" or "We have a variety of menu types for every occasion". MOU ___ Inbox full of spam?

RE: [wdvltalk] OT: convert FAT32 drive to NTFS?
Hi Deb I'd strongly recommend you convert your drive to NTFS. There are a number of benefits to using NTFS, such as minimising "wasted" space when you save data, data encryption and file system security. FAT32 is now seriously outdated when working with large hard drives, especially if you're running XP or Vista. Because of the way FAT32 works you simply have no choice but to split data up into 2GB blocks if you attempt your backup. I'm very very surprised that a "Vista ready" machine from HP of all people have formatted the drive as FAT32 - very sloppy and short-sighted in my opinion. You won't lose any data doing the command-line drive conversion the Genie Soft site details. MOU ___ All New Yahoo! Mail Tired of [EMAIL PROTECTED]@! come-ons?

Re: [wdvltalk] OT: is i-LINK firewire for transferring data?
Deb: Firewire is Firewire at the end of the day - the different ends to the cable are just to fit different sizes of devices (same as the mini USB2 connectors you get on cameras and phones - it's still USB2) so in theory you should be OK. In terms of speed, USB 2.0 is a little faster than Firewire 400 in pure data rate (460Mbps) but from what I can recall (and it's still the holiday season so correct me if the alcohol is talking here) USB 2.0 runs data transmissions serially so everything connected to the USB channel has to share the bandwidth. Firewire runs parallel connections so it can serve 400Mbps to each connection, but it can't run as many at once as USB (hence USB is more popular). The biggie here is that I don't think Firewire can downgrade its connection speeds like USB 2.0 can: you can plug a USB 2.0 device into a USB 1.1 socket and it will still run, just at a fraction of the speed. From my experiences in the office, you can't get a Firewire 800 device to function at all in a Firewire 400 socket. This is the only reason I can think of why you can't get an external Firewire drive to work in your existing Firewire setup as I've had no problem using different cables and plug converters in the Firewire kit at home and work.

Re: [wdvltalk] OT: reading an external hard drive - firewire/usb
Deb The key here first of all is listen to Windows's sound effects when you plug in your external drive. Hot-swappable devices will trigger three events in Windows (device connect, device disconnect and device error) that have sounds attached. Unless you have disabled or changed sounds, when you plug in your external drive you'll get a two note, low then high sound play to indicate that a device has been connected. If you don't get this sound then straight away you know there is no communication at all between the external drive and Windows. If you do get this sound then at least you know Windows knows it's attached. If you hear three of the same notes in quick succession then you have an error trying to set up and access the drive for use. There I can't help you because I too have had problems installing and reinstalling drivers many times over to no avail (for both the device AND the USB system). If you don't get this triple note sound then Windows has successfully accessed the drive and things everything is OK.In this case you'll need to double-check that the drive is recognisable through Control Panel. From Control Panel, open up "Administrative Tools" and double-click "Computer Management". From the console window that pops up, select "Disk Management" (under the "Storage" group") from the Treeview on the left. You'll be presented with two panels on the right: a list of all assigned drive letters in a list in the top panel and a series of colour-coded bars in the bottom. These bars represent all the drives attached to the system, regardless of drive letter. If your external drive is working correctly and can communicate with Windows you will see it here. If it IS here but NOT associated with a drive letter then you'll have to sort it manually.. Right-click on the bar that represents your drive and choose "Change Drive Letter and Paths..." from the context menu. From here click the "Add..." button and assign a letter from the available entries in the drop down list. You can also change the existing letter by clicking "Change..." if there IS a letter already assigned. If you don't see your drive listed as a coloured bar in Disk Management then you have a more complex problem. Hope this is of some use! Best Wishes and all for this holiday week.

RE: [wdvltalk] What font are they using?
Amrit: It's not that you must use Flash to display it, they've used Flash to ensure they can still offer the standard text-related operations a browser provides (i.e. copy and paste). This is something you can't do with a standard image replacement. But if you're only planning on doing this once for a header then it's probably a little overkill. Certainly I'm going to be looking at this for my projects as I think it's actually a nice variation on standard image replacement. Incidentally while we talk about fonts, does anybody have a copy of Korataki I can pinch? I'm looking at using it for my 2007 branding update for the company but I'm not 100% sure it's what I want so obviously I don't want to shell out for it if I'm not going to use it.

RE: [wdvltalk] What font are they using?
Hi Amrit I don't recognise the font. The reason it's not in the stylesheet is because they've used an image replacement technique for the text in question, switching out the relevant parts with a single-frame Flash movie with the text layer selectable so you can still highlight and copy text. Rather impressive idea actually. MOU ___ Inbox full of spam? Get leading spam protection and 1GB storage with All New Yahoo!

[wdvltalk] 404 error even though the files are there!
Hi List It seems we're awash with HTTP errors at the moment. I'm have a really odd thing going on. Click this link: http://www.themmen.co.uk/demos/rsa/content/flv/rsa-2.flv Standard message yes? Thing is though the file actually exists. Now go here: http://www.themmen.co.uk/demos/rsa/content/flv/ That's the standard output generated by IIS when a folder has Directory Browsing enabled, and thus is displaying the contents of the directory. Click any of the links however and you'll get a 404 message! Is this some kind of permissions problem? I've checked everything and it seems to be OK - other folders in the website work fine and all permissions seem to be the same. I'm running IIS 6 on Windows Server 2003 Small Business Server R2 and this problem has only appeared since running this new server (everything was fine on IIS 5 on Windows 2000 Advanced Server).

Re: [wdvltalk] IE7 bad, IE6 good ... but how to get back
Three options Joseph: 1: Turn on IE7's full interface to reinstate the old-school menu bars and such to get it working like IE6 (because even though I hate myself for saying this, IE7 is actually a lot better and moderately more secure than IE6) and tell the young lady to live with it (as punishment for blindly clicking "OK" buttons ;-) ) 2: If IE7 was installed as an update you should be able to remove it using Add/Remove programs - it's certainly in my list. And I think you can still download the IE6 installer from the IE site. 3: Install and get her using Firefox 2 - it's functions just like IE6, and you can even disable tabbed browsing if she hates it.

[wdvltalk] Catch-all mailbox in Exchange 2003
Hi list I've had a good Google and to be honest it's mostly Greek to me as I'm very new to Microsoft Exchange (and generally proper client-server networking). Does anybody know how, or can direct me to a plain English resource to explain how, I can set up an Exchange mailbox to catch all mail that isn't directly addressed to our employees? And/or setting up mail boxes that don't have a specific Windows user associated to them (i.e. webmaster@, unsubscribe@, etc.). Oh, and these mailboxes have to be shared so all of us can read them using Outlook 2003. I've seen a fair few approaches that attach a script to Exchange's mail received event to sort and process, but although I'm fluent in VBScript I have no clue what they're doing.

Re: [wdvltalk] iPod question
More than likely not to be honest. I know that anything bought from iTunes Music Store can be licensed to 5 computers at a time but I don't think that goes as far as 5 non-family members with a computer each. I'm also sure that technically ripping a CD into iTunes has grey-area legality and even if the resulting M4A/MP3/AAC files are legally OK they're not going to be re-distributable. But let's be honest, how is anybody going to know? I'd be more concerned about the iTunes library sync issues with having your iPod linked to his library, unless you use the hard disk capability (of the top-end models) to copy files over as files and import them into your own iTunes.

[wdvltalk] Web login system - best approach
Greetings and salutations I have a few web projects in the pipeline that will require some form of user log-in to access restricted content. I've done a few projects before that have been successful but I'm unsure if my approach is the the best way of doing things, or if I will be able to actually implement it. Previously, I have an Access database storing the login information which is accessed through ASP. This database is stored in a folder outside of the domain hosting area so you can't physically access it through the website's URL. The ASP script accesses the file through the server's file system using Server.MapPath. This has worked pretty well so far but any projects using this has been deployed on a server that I have physical access to and administration control over, so it's easy for me to upload and maintain files directly through Windows Explorer. My problem now is twofold: firstly, I don't have this sort of access to the server and second it's likely that I have to use PHP and MySQL. I've started playing with MySQL recently for a Flash-fronted CMS project and I'm fairly comfortable with it for the basic uses I have in mind, but I have difficulty getting my head around creating a database - it's a bit odd not having a tangible, MDB-esque file I can just drop into a directory. So in a nutshell, what's the best way of doing a user/password login using PHP/MySQL?

Re: [wdvltalk] Site review
Riva In regards to body text I regularly have the same problems and I explain to the client that my job isn't just to make the site look pretty, it's to make the entire user experience a good one, which includes quality-checking the text content too. My compromise with them is that I fix spelling and grammatical errors in what they supply. If any sentence or wording is confusing or could benefit from restructuring I assemble a checklist of everything with my proposed version and mail it to them so they can see what I've done and why I've done it. The client usually runs with my changes then because they've been informed as to what's going on. Sometimes I've restructured a sentence thinking it was awkward or confusing only to find out I've changed what they were trying to say. In that regard it's also a writing issue on their part so I discuss with them how to rewrite to retain the message but without it being confusing. It usually takes a while but I've found it to be more constructive and gets things done instead of just re-writing content based on my opinions and writing style, mailing it back only for them to think I'm pedantic and they re-write it back again.

Re: [wdvltalk] OT: ridding myself of the Windows Welcome screen
Hi Deb By the sound of it, whatever you've installed recently requires the .NET Framework to run so it's installed that as well. Looks like with .NET Framework running, your computer needs an explicit login as exactly the same thing happened to me when I installed Visual Studio .NET. Once I uninstalled it, taking the .NET Framework with it, the login returned to normal. This of course doesn't fix your problem if something on your system requires .NET Framwork.

Re: [wdvltalk] Background Sound on web site
Matthew's raised a good point about cross-platform operability of the background music. As a result, I'd suggest using Flash instead. Have a 1x1 pixel Flash movie dropped in somewhere on the page that streams in an external MP3 and export the Flash movie as low a version number as you can (I think streaming MP3s is about Flash 5) to ensure you don't trigger too many player updates just for background music. However I would strongly recommend putting in some form of playback control to actually turn the music off because unless you do it right and integrate the music with the overal web experience, background music is RIDICULOUSLY annoying. That being said though the really annoying stuff is embedded MIDI files so at least you'd have a decent file using MP3. But I do concur to a degree with Matthew's question of why they want background music anyway. As I mentioned unless you're enhancing the user experience by integrating music into the visuals I would really try to talk these people out of background music. It's really annoying and screams "I can use FrontPage so I'm a web designer" amateurism. MOU ___ Now you can scan emails quickly with a reading pane. Get the new Yahoo!

Re: [wdvltalk] DB question?
Riva You could give your client a text file (or series of text files) to edit and code the site to generate HTML from these files (if you're picky about typography you can do some character swapping out as you process the files to replace curly quotation marks and proper em and en dashes). Or supply a text entry form in a hidden area of their site for them to type new content into and store this info in a simple database using that for content. Or, I've never used it myself, but give Macromedia Contribute a whirl, although I have no idea if it's being continued now that Adobe have bought them out.

Re: [wdvltalk] Php hosting
lol Joseph nothing exciting Had a dedicated server with them for 2 years and we purchased a copy of Windows 2000 Server through them to run on it. Well, as we'd paid for the OS we felt it was our license, so when we terminated the contract we requested them to send the discs over. After claiming THEY owned it (even though we had them confirm before we started the contract who would own the license), "losing" records, losing discs, claiming they had no idea what we were talking about, claiming their records said we were on RedHat Linux and then (at the barrel of a legal gun) sent us a badly copied version of Windows 2000 ADVANCED Server they finally sent us the box with the discs in it. So it's been fun. Apart from that 34sp.com are good - the service is reliable, cheap and feature-rich. MOU ___ Try the all-new Yahoo! Mail.

[wdvltalk] Multi language website
Hi list I've been asked to quote on a web site which can be viewed in multiple languages (4 I think) however I can't give them a price if I don't know what I'm doing! So, I come to your collective brains on how best to achieve this. This client already has a site based out of Belgium for a product. This product, however, is not available in UK-controlled markets and therefore would like to redirect visitors who are in these UK-controlled markets to a separate site. This site is to be available in (I think) 4 languages. Now I was thinking brute-force approach having a country select page at the beginning and redirecting the visitor to the appropriate language on the appropriate site (fortunately anything controlled by the Belgian site is none of my responsibility). This would however mean maintaining 4 different versions of the UK-controlled site for each of the languages available. Is there a more elegant way of doing this? Determining geographic location through IP and then auto-redirecting? Single design shell filling in body text from the appropriate language data file? Obviously the budget isn't going to be there to do anythign fancy but at this stage I'd like to explore alternative ways of doing this so I can give some competitive quotes. So, ladies and jellyspoons, your advice on how to achieve this please. TIA MOU P.S. Riva: you fired your client yet? Any further developments? ___ Yahoo!

Re: [wdvltalk] Client request!!!!!
Riva If they're insistent on using the photo then why not try the Windows Vista-style design? I think Microsoft have hired some half-decent designers as their Vista site is actually really nice visually. For your project I'm referring specifically to the Vista start page: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/ although I prefer one of the earlier versions with clouds and soft water instead of that meadow-based young lady. You'll need a high-quality, crisp image to work with to pull this off, but it's a good start anyway. Furthermore I'd really try and push them into dropping the image for a common site background or at least restricting it to a smaller header strip. In my opinion it'll make their image look a thousand bucks, plus it'll get the "ooh we look like Microsoft, so that MUST mean we're fantastic" mentality going (which is a nice trick to remember to get design-oblivious or awkward clients happy in a hurry).

Re: [wdvltalk] Client request!!!!!
Riva If I were you I'd politely decline to continue the project on teh grounds that it is incresing difficult and costly for you to operate with such internal conflict on what this project is supposed to entail. Their decision-making process is beyond your scope as a developer and until such time they can approach you with a fixed and definitive brief then it is achieveing nothing except waste your time and money, a cost of which, naturally, you have no choice but to pass on to them. Furthermore the design choices being made, irrespective of your PROFESSIONAL advice, will ultimately serve only to destroy any professional image and credibility this company may have already. As a developer you must deliver what the client wants. Should that client make choices that will be of a determent to them, you take pride in your work and have a professional and personal responsibility to inform them of these facts and provide your expertise. At the end of the day, if the client knew what they were doing they wouldn't have hired you. So put the ball back into their court: either recoup the wasted time and inform them that you will continue to do so while they in-fight, stand your ground and let them they're going to make themselves look ridiculous if they continue down this route, or pull the plug on the grounds of professional disagreement. Unless they're willing to keep paying you for the time and energy they're wasting here, this job and this client are not worth the headaches and associating yourself with what will end up as a 1998 high school Frontpage job.

Re: [wdvltalk] Javascript window problem
Diane If your tests fire and run the script directly then you have nothing wrong with your script. The fault, therefore, will lay with your client's computer - either they have a pop-up blocker enabled or they have scripting disabled. That would be my first port of call to work this out. Alternatively, you could always rejig things so your code actually runs inside the new window and resizes it onLoad, then specify a new window as the target of your link. That was you'll get a pop-up window when you click the link then the script will resize that new window. If scripting is disabled you'll still get your pop-up window just not to the correct size.

[wdvltalk] ASP-driven login system - best practices
Hi list. Bit quiet round here aint it?? I'm researching the best approach to take for an ASP-driven login system for a web project I have coming up. It's nothing major, just providing a login for members only areas and the ability to create new accounts. I've done this a few times before but was wondering if my approach is the best way: I have a database with the relevant login details stored on the web server but it is in a folder outside of the hosting folders. The ASP scripts can access this database using the file system of the physical machine (basically dropping out of the hosting folder to an alternative location on the server's drive) but you can't access the database through an URI. I then retrieve the relevant record based on username and drop the password into a variable. This variable is compared to password input to check it's the same. If everything's OK then I set an ASP session cookie and proceed into the members area. Every page in the members area checks the state of this session cookie before it processes anything. If the cookie isn't valid then the pages redirect to the login page. Now this has always worked fine for me because I've never needed particularly secure systems. By having the user database in a physcially different drive location to the hosting folder does prevent you downloading the thing via an URI so I'm OK with that, but can you get at its content any other way? SQL injections? So, as I said, I'm after tips and suggestions on best practices. TIA! MOU ___ Now you can scan emails quickly with a reading pane. Get the new Yahoo!

Re: [wdvltalk] Registering an existing domain
Can't remember the exact terminology as I'm up to my neck in XML and really crappy parsers but I think after a domain lapses there is a certain period ("detagged" I think) where the domain is shut off from the net but is still tied to its existing owner allowing them to renew (just in case they forgot or something). I think this state lasts for a few months. If the domain is not re-registered by the end of this limbo state then it comes open for purchase. Only at that stage will your client be able to grab it.

[wdvltalk] SMTP Server configuration on IIS 5
Hi list - calling all IIS experts! I'm learning as I go with server configuration so bear with me while I stumble through my explanations and problems. I'm having a bit of a pickle configuring my SMTP server to do what I want it to do. My SMTP server must serve 2 roles: . to receive e-mail from anybody sending mail to our addresses . to act as a mail relay for a specific authorised login, irrespective of its location or computer (it's from a CD-ROM project we're going to be distributing soon) I can get either one of these functions working but I cannot configure the server to achieve both at once. To receive e-mails from anybody, I allow anonymous access (set under Access Control in the Access tab) from all connections ("all except the list below" with an empty list, set under Connection Control in the Access tab). This, to my limited understanding, allows any mail server to connect to mine and transfer data. This works fine. To act as a relay I allow access through the Windows security package *only* (set under Access Control in the Access tab) and blanket-block all locations ("only the list below" with an empty list), but allow all successfully authenticating computers to relay (set under Relay Restrictions in the Access tab). This also works fine. The problem I now have is doing one of these things messes around the other. Originally I used both anonymous access and Windows authentication, with all successfully authenticated computers allowed to relay, but I realised quickly that opened a huge security hole as an anonymous login would count as a successful authentication. 35 seconds later I was used as a relay for 17,000 spam e-mails. I then turned off anonymous access and although the relay still worked fine using the authenticated user account from any connection, every other e-mail sent to our addresses bounced "sender was rejected: client was not authenticated". I've gone through all the settings in the configuration and I cannot see what combination of settings will do what I want. As I want to receive e-mail from any computer I can't set an authorised or blocked computer list as this list will change all the time, however I can't seem to restrict relaying to a specific user account but allow connections from anywhere. So, in a nutshell, sombody save me and tell me what to do! Clear as mud? Thought so MOU ___ Yahoo!

Re: [wdvltalk] New computer problem
Any ideas on how to fix this or on what she should do? Basic advice Riva is tell her not to buy a Dell! Not sure what the custom PC market is like outside of the UK but over here you can buy good quality machines without paying the premiums you do for branded PCs and support from manufacturers who, in my experience, mess you about with so much junk and unnecessary pre-installed apps you literally have to strip them bare to get them to work. So I'd return the machine for a full refund as non-functional and go to my local friendly PC supplier and get one from there. Oh, and Will, *cough* overpriced *cough* at least Windows gives vaguely helpful error messages *cough* Although my new Mantra is a happy visual place - "Mac the Planet!"

Adobe After Effects can export as Flash and has some fantastic 3D tools to give this thing some depth, but After Effects is probably overkil on this (unless you download the 30-day trial version for this one-off project).

Re: [wdvltalk] Accessing another pc desktop
Amrit: There's a wealth of information inside the Windows XP Help Centre telling you how to do it - I would strongly recommend reading through it first. However, in a nutshell you will need Windows Messenger running and logged in on both machines (NOT MSN Messenger - it's supposed to work fine but I've never been able to do it). Note that you will need 2 different Passport IDs to do this so each machine is logged in under a different ID, and also add each ID to the other's Buddy list. You would then send a Remote Assistance request from the machine you want to control to the other Passport ID logged in on the other machine. Simply accept the request and let it run. You will need to check that you can send and receive Remote Assistance requests on both machines: go into the System Properties in Control Panel and have a look at the "Remote Assistance" tab.
