[wdvltalk] Issues working with dates

[Todd Richards]

Hi Everyone -

I've got a few issues relating to dates on a classic ASP site that I'm
working on, and I'm scratching my head and hoping someone can help.

ISSUE 1:
We are adding the ability for them to enter in some simple press release
announcements to their member site.  The announcements are added, and an
"addedOn" field is populated with the value of "now()".

The plan would be to read a list of the newest announcements for the home
page of the site, but only if they are recent (say withing 14 or 21 days).
For some reason I'm struggling with the best way to do this.  I've messed
around with a dateDiff(), comparing the addedOn date with the current date,
but that doesn't seem to be working.

- Is it possible to do it the way I'm thinking (using the dateDiff with the
AddedOn field?  Should I be using a value "date()" rather than "now()" when
entering the records, if I'm looking to compare the values?
- Should I add another field in there for them to set a date to keep it
"featured"?

ISSUE 2:
I'm listing upcoming events on an events page.  I'm trying to do simple
"order by endDate" (in format of mm-dd-).  I thought it was working but
last night I changed a date and now it's broke.  It seems that it's ordering
by the "mm" part.  So if I have two dates, "05-11-2009" and "11-10-2009",
they are in the correct order.  But if I have  two events with dates of
"04-05-2022" and "10-22-2009", the one in 2022 comes first.

Thanks for any thoughts.  It seems that I always struggle when working with
dates. 

Todd

Subject: [wdvltalk] Help please! Domain forwarding problem

Hi all,

I have a new client. I got new hosting for her and am finding that the 
forwarding of her domain is not working. The main website is 
headofclassinc.com (that's the domain on the hosting account). The 
second website is cherieinc.com, which is supposed to be forwarded to 
headofclassinc.com/cherie. The domain names are at resell.biz (hosting 
at godaddy) and the headofclassinc.com works great, but the 
cherieinc.com still goes to the old hosting account which is about to be 
canceled. Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,
Riva

RE: [wdvltalk] ASPSmartUpload Error - IGNORE

OK, sorry for "crying wolf", but this is resolved.  Oh, the joys of having both

Ever have "one of those days/weeks/months"???

Hi Everyone –

I posted on another board but did not get a single response.  So I thought I 
would try here where the brains hang out!  ☺

I have been using ASPSmartUpload on my Widows 2003 Server for a while.  
Everything had been working great.  Suddenly we went to use it and now we are 
getting an error “Server.CreateObject Failed".  The line of code that it is 
giving is the line where I'm calling it.  I tried to reinstall it, reboot, etc. 
with no help.  Nothing has changed and it had been working.  So I'm not sure 
what the problem is.

Since it was an older version, I thought that might the problem.  I went onto 
Persits site and downloaded the trial of ASPUpload, installed, changed the 
code, and it's coming up with the same thing.

Anyone have any suggestions on what to look for?  This is my server so I can do 
whatever I want with it.  :)  I just can't think of what would have changed to 
cause this, except for a Windows update or something.  I've gone through 
everything I can think of checking permissions.  

This is currently being used in an ASP classic environment, uploading files to 
a MS SQL 2000 database.  If there are other options available, I'm open to 
those too.  Just need to get it going again.

Thanks for your suggestions!

Todd

Tim responds...
You're quite welcome. :)  No particular resources were used other than the
few years I have working out SQL queries as part of web development.  Yours
is a typical many-to-many relationship using a join table (sometimes also
called a bridge or link table) in the middle, so once you understand it
you'll be able to apply it in many situations.

If it makes you feel better, I've been banging my head on what should be a
fairly straightforward query (a bit more complex than yours) on and off for
4 hours now; can't seem to get it to work using joins, it works okay if I
specify a WHERE clause...basically mapping one Boolean field to two Boolean
fields in different tables.

Hope you got yours working.  :)

Hey Tim -

No, you weren't too late.  I ended up calling it a night last night before I
could figure it out, hoping that a little sleep would help.  Well, thanks to
you it did!  I was close but needed one more join in there.  I will have to
study yours and figure it out exactly, as I have a few more others that will
be similar.  Any good resources or tips that helped you??  :)

Thanks again!

[wdvltalk] SQL Join Help

[Todd Richards]

Hi Everyone -

I always get tripped up by the joins, and my brain is aching tonight.  This
is probably a very easy question for some, so I'm happy to help your ego if
you can help me!  :)


Table "news": (for news articles)
- news_ID
- news_Title

Table "groups": (for group names)
- group_ID
- group_Title

Table "group_news": (to save the news article and the corresponding group -
can have more than one group per article)
- group_ID
- news_ID


What I'm trying to do is find the news articles that are only for a certain
group (such as group_ID "25")

I've tried a few joins and am either getting an error, or not quite the
right information.

ANY help is appreciated!!!

Thanks!

Todd

RE: [wdvltalk] Limited Records - ASP

quite frankly, i just do not believe that

try running it in Query Analyzer or whatever your front-end-tool-du-jour

many times, what people think is an SQL problem turns out to be a problem in
their app logic dealing with a perfectly good SQL result set

;o)

besides, you want

   SELECT TOP 5 ... ORDER BY StartDate DESC

because you want the latest 5

RE: [wdvltalk] Limited Records - ASP

[Todd Richards]

No, you didn't miss it!  :)

Here is the original - "SELECT * FROM events ORDER BY StartDate"

Without anything, I will get 10 events listed on the page.  If I try "SELECT
TOP 5 * FROM events ORDER BY StartDate", then I only get the first 2 events.

If I put it at the end like this "SELECT * FROM events ORDER BY StartDate
TOP 5", then I get an error message:

Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'StartDate TOP
5'.

if it isn't at the end, you'd get a syntax error

could you perhaps show us the entire query?  or did i miss it already?

Yeah, I do have an ORDER BY.  Maybe I don't have it in the right place?

this is, indeed, what you use for SQL Server

do you have an ORDER BY clause?

RE: [wdvltalk] Limited Records - ASP

[Todd Richards]

Hmm, it's throwing an error on me about a missing operator.  I've got my
statement as 

SQL = "SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY StartDate LIMIT 5"

Does that look right?  

I also tried using "Top", and that doesn't produce the right results
("select top 5 * from table...")

Anything that does SQL should be able to handle the LIMIT clause - even
MS SQL Server.  Just stick it on the end of your query and job done :)

Yes, it's coming from a MS SQL Server 2000 DB, and I'm using ASP to pull the

Where are these events coming from?

If they're coming from a database, you'd be a lot better off just
telling the database you only want 5 records (by adding "LIMIT 5" to the
query) rather than retrieving a full set, displaying the first 5 and
throwing the rest away!

[wdvltalk] Limited Records - ASP

[Todd Richards]

Hey Everyone -

I'm having a brain lapse here and can't figure out the "right" way to do
this.  On a home page, I have "Upcoming Events" with a box floating to the
right  that will show the next 5 events.  I was trying to use "rs.pagesize =
5" but for some reason it's not working (although it is in another site).
So instead, I simply added a 

   <% if page_count <=5 then %>  (page_count is defined higher up and is
incremented during the while statement)

Code to show the event

<% end if %>

This seems to work, but it's probably not very efficient.  Any thoughts?

RE: [wdvltalk] [thelist] [OT] Hardware question about RAID...

[Todd Richards]

Tris -

I actually have had luck with some onboard RAIDs, but if I have the option, 9 
times out of 10 I will purchase an add-on card.  And after doing some research 
and hearing what others say about 3ware, I took the leap and never looked back. 
 I have an 8-port IDE in one server running RAID 5 (which I'm in the process of 
upgrading all of the drives to 1TB), and a 2-port in another server running 
RAID 1 (which I will be increasing the drive space soon too).  I have purchased 
cheaper cards in the past, but would rather spend the extra money to get 3ware 
(until something changes my mind).  They are super easy to set up, very 
reliable, and their support is fantastic.

Thanks all...!
I'm 'upgrading' my system to replace all my external drives, I plan to
have 6 x 1Tb drives, raid 5 or 6.
Giving me 4.5Tb roughly, which is about 1Tb more than I need, but
that'll fill up quickly I'm sure.
I wanted it to show up as one drive of 4.5Tb. the case I've purchased
has hot swapable bays, so when a drive goes to heaven, I can easily
replace it and not loose data. (hopefully ;-p )
But, I've opted for this:
http://www.xcase.co.uk/p/394553/3ware-9650se-8ml---8-port-satasas-controller-no-cables---pci-express-sf8087.html

And if I'm reading correctly, I can only make increments of 2Tb...
(due to a windows and linux kernel 2.4 issue)
I'm new to Linux (havng installed ubuntu last weekend) but guess if I
upgrade to 2.6, I'll be fine..

I guess that's it, I have to get a dedicated card...
But the advise thus far has been great... cheers!!

[wdvltalk] Uploading Files

[Todd Richards]

Hi Everyone –

I’m currently using ASPUpload on one of my sites.  I’m looking at finding
another “tool” that will allow users to upload multiple files – sort of like
JUpload or XUpload.  Today I uploaded pictures to Kodak, and, if you are
using IE, you can drag multiple files to the screen and upload them.  THAT’S
what I’m looking for.

Anyway, I was looking at the JUpload site and in Google-ing, found
www.jupload.biz.  It’s similar, but a lot cheaper for a server license. 

I’m not opposed to spending the money for a server license if it works
well.  So I thought I would ask - Does anyone have any other suggestions to
look at?  I’m going to end up using this for different sites, so I’d like to
find something that works well.


Thanks for any suggestions!

Todd

PS – Initially it will run on a Windows server…

RE: [wdvltalk] Template site question

[Todd Richards]

HI Riva -

I have purchased from Templatemonster.com before and had no problems.  As
Franni mentioned, the code is usually a bit bloated.  Usually if there is
music, there are two versions of the template - a standard HTML version, and
the Flash version (which contains the music).  On TemplateMonster.com, they
all usually come with the PSD file for you to make changes.

On the few that I did purchase (more for the design part), I then took it
and updated the code to suite my needs before implementing.  Fortunately, my
design skills have improved to where I don't use them for anything more than
some inspiration from time to time.

Been kinda quiet on this list lately.

A quick question - has anyone bought a template from webtemplatebiz.com? 
I have a potential client who wants to buy one but got nervous when they 
didn't recognize the payment system and it asked for a lot of unusual

RE: [wdvltalk] Kaspersky problems - or maybe not... maybe!

[Todd Richards]

No worries!  I'm not sure where you are located and what you have available
in terms of outlets.  In the states, I recently helped my sister purchase an
HP laptop from Best Buy with a 200+GB hard drive, Windows Vista (not my
favorite) and 2GB of memory.  It was right about $849 (before taxes and an
extra warranty).  I was actually pleased with how well it ran.  If you want
XP, then you might have to get from Dell or someplace like that, where you
can still order with XP.

Todd,

I was going to reply when there was a result to following your 
advice.   But she seems set now on replacing the machine.

I don't know if anyone has advice on the lowest cost for a 
machine a little above the floor of laptops.Say about £400 
[$800]?

Hi Drew,  thanks for the response.

We've chased around finding what we can, but nothing tht gives 
answers;  or rather we have only come across answers that suggest 
days of correction work or a complete reinstall of the OS.As 
to duelling that is possible but the two had sat happily together 
for about six months of more or less daily use, so it is not an 
obvious answer, unless some update has started an 
incompatibility.   There wasn't active multiple AV;  ZA was the 
firewall and K the AV.

The isp was reached by old-fashioned dial-up, and was clearly 
enganged.But whatever was tried there was no sending activity 
[and so of course no receiving either].

Your new machine remedy looks right, though switching completely 
to K suite hasn't worked - tht sugggests to me that there is some 
major disturbance in setting s and files' content.   A different 
new machine executive action has emerged ;-):   buy a new laptop. 
She's been unhappy with this one for ages, so it seems a good 
moment...

Maybe I'll use this one to test out linux [down Matt, boy, down] 
and see if we can work with that.We're completely off the 
experiment of Vista, don't use Word or Works.

It has already wasted a tremendous amount of time and energy and 
I really would only pursue correcting the problem if there is a 
relatively simple solution.   I also suspect so much has been 
tried that things are very fouled up.   Of course there were no 
discs with this machine for reinstall and troubleshooting!!

Joseph


From: "Drew Trusz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Have you checked their respective knowledge bases yet? Forums?

Do we have a case of dueling tools here? ZA Pro also includes av. 
Was
the entire Pro suite operational? How was the isp reached? 
Browser?
ftp client?

Treat this like it was a new machine never before networked. 
Check all
the basic configurations including browser settings and mail. 
Install
ZA Pro as it was installed. If you don't know that, do the 
default
install paying careful attention to what is installed. If that
restores connectivity beyond the isp, try the Kaspersky again. 
If
not, got a backup copy?

If the problem recurs then you are going to have to disable some 
parts
of one or the other products until you get a workable 
arrangement.
Multiple av still seems a dicey proposition.

And wasting time with the "near obvious" on a system for a family member can
be, well, a waste of time.  With a "missing operating system" message, there
is a VERY strong chances that a) the hard drive is dead, b) it's about to
die, or c) files are missing from the boot loader which won't allow it to
boot.  Yes, that could be from a virus, or even a corrupt file in Windows.  

If she said "this laptop contains all our important (fill in the blank)
information that we cannot replace", then I might suggest she spend more
time on it.  However, I have beat a horse to death (figuratively speaking,
of course - I love horses) trying to chase down a problem.  And this is one
that I probably wouldn't spend much time on.

In this case, I would format the drive, try to reload Windows on the same
drive.  If it loads - great.  If it doesn't, then I would get a new hard
drive.  Once you get it reloaded, protect yourself with some software in the
event it was a virus that did this.

No need to jump on the anti-Windows bandwagon at this point.  After all,
there is certainly no sign it was even a virus/malware that did this.  I've
been running Windows machines for some time now and have had no issues with
malware.

Anyway, this is OT and we are getting even further away...

RE: [wdvltalk] OT: is this a good price on a hard drive?

[Todd Richards]

Usually hitting F12 during startup will allow you to boot from CD (or on
some systems choose what you want to boot from).  I usually start tapping it
right when it finishes the memory test and is detecting the hard drives.
Hit it once or twice or three times - not a big deal.

I agree with David on this.  It's quite possible that your drive is fine.
If you don't care about the contents, then I would try to reload the OS.  If
upon trying to reload you have problems/see errors, then you might consider
going with the replacement drive.

As for the size of the drives, David already mentioned that increasing the
capacity doesn't increase the physical size.  In fact, after giving you the
link to NewEgg.com, I found a nice 750GB drive.  Hm  ;)

No, I'm not absolutely positive but I thought 
that's what it meant. I tried F8 to try to get 
into Safe Mode, no luck. Tried that both w/the 
recovery cd and the Win98 cd.  She does think 
this was caused by a virus.  Any idea what key 
I'd press? If I can get in what do I do then to 
find out about the bootloader? Does that just mean it switched on how it
loads?

RE: [wdvltalk] OT: is this a good price on a hard drive?

[Todd Richards]

Hi Deb -

It depends on what she uses the laptop for.  I upgraded my original laptop
from an 80GB to a 100GB.  Now I would love to have something closer to 160GB
to 200GB.  My point is that I think 30GB doesn't seem like very much.
Although if it's Windows 98, and she doesn't do much, then it's fine.

That said, I love shopping on NewEgg.com.  Here is a list of laptop drives
that they have available:
http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=380&name=Laptop-Har
d-Drives

Toshiba 60GB drive for $46
Western Digital 120GB for $69

Hi there,

My daughter's laptop's hard drive is shot it 
looks like.  "Missing Operating System" is all I 
can get it to do.  Have tried inserting the 
recovery cd and a Win98SE cd - same message.  I 
opened it up and pulled the drive and reseated it 
twice - just in case it had come loose.  No

place to purchase her a new drive:

$55 for the 30GB drive.  Never had to buy one 
before so I don't have a clue.  Thanks for your help.

RE: [wdvltalk] Linux Server - Help Getting Started

[Todd Richards]

Hi Matt -

Thanks so much for the detailed reply.  I actually loaded both Fedora and
Ubuntu onto different systems to check them out (apparently I didn't have
enough to do!).  Fedora is slick, and I would be open to looking at it for
using day-to-day.  Very easy to get around in, and the system I put it on
(nothing spectacular) handled it with ease.  I had planned to use that for
the LAMP setup, but after installing and such, wasn't sure how good of an
idea it was.

Next was Ubuntu.  I put it on an older P3 800Mhz system (with a SCSI OS
drive and 2GB RAM).  From what I could see during loading it just flew.
However, when it in finished installing and booted up, I looked at the
command line for about 5 minutes thinking to myself "If I just wait and
watch it, maybe it will do something".  HA  Obviously I understand the use
of command lines, but not how to use them.  So the learning curve in my eyes
just took a 90 straight up.

I had heard that SuSE was good for M$ people and I have it downloaded, but
not installed yet.  However, upgrading is important to me.  So if it becomes
a PITA and risks data, then that isn't worth it to me either.

Again, I appreciate your feedback and will investigate Fedora and Ubuntu a
little more.

Thanks!

Todd

Subject: Re: [wdvltalk] Linux Server - Help Getting Started

Todd,

/me fires up into "this is what I do for a living mode" and starts  
typing - this could be a long message... :o)

The quick answer:

If you want to use Linux and just want a solution that works, use  
Ubuntu.  If you want a server that will be familiar with a large  
amount of the industry, use either Fedora or CentOS.  If you want to  
_learn_ Linux, use Gentoo.  If you want to support Microsoft and use  
Linux at the same time, use SuSE. [0]

The long(er) answer:

Ubuntu is a fantastic product.  As a desktop operating system, I would  
use it in place of Windows any day of the week.  It is stable, secure,  
compatible, easy to setup and use (just ask a number of my  
non-IT-Literate friends and my Dad!) and there is a huge amount of  
support available either through the forums or mailing lists similar  
to this one.  As a server O/S, I have my reservations (customising PHP  
to work using nuSOAP instead of the built in libs is a PITA) however  
the fact that the install program on the server CD has a check box  
that automatically installs LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySql and PHP) is a  
definate winner.  Administration is also easy and there are many, many  
tools to help you.  As it is based on Debian, any script that is  
written for Debian to ease Admin (and there are thousands out there!)  
should work on Ubuntu.

Fedora and CentOS appear to be industry standards as they are based on  
RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) - CentOS is effectively a completely  
free copy with the branding removed!  They are secure, reliable and  
free just like Ubuntu, although I've never got the hang of the RedHat  
Base Layout [1].

Gentoo is a nightmare to setup the first time you run it.  It can take  
anywhere up to a week to get a server completely installed and  
configured.  If you do a "Stage One" installation, you need to compile  
the compiler(!) however as a learning process, it is invaluable.  You  
will learn more about using and configuring Linux from using Gentoo  
than just about any other Linux distribution.

SuSE is a nightmare to upgrade.  Moving from 10.2 to 10.3 requires a  
complete system re-install.  Compare this with Ubuntu where you just  
type "apt-get dist-upgrade" from the command line, Fedora/CentOS which  
have a similar upgrade path and Gentoo which is always the latest  
version and you can see why I'll say no more about what is otherwise a  
very good distribution.

Out of the above, I would recommend Ubuntu or RedHat (Fedora/CentOS)  
for a production environment if you need it to be quick and easy.  The  
reason that Ubuntu and RHEL clones are so quick to update is that the  
software you insatll is pre-comiled, just like Windows installs, so it  
is very quick although probably not optimised for your system.

If you want to know exactly what is on your system and have it  
optimised for best possible performance, use Gentoo.  It does not have  
the corporate backing in the same way that RedHat/Ubuntu have, however  
the Gentoo community are excellent for support and a number of Linux  
Consultancies know Gentoo.  Gentoo is "source-based".  When you  
install software (which is as easy as typing "emerge -av  
") it downloads the source code and then compiles it  
against the options that you have set meaning it is truely tailored to  
your machine.  A number of Datacentres that I have worked with use  
Gentoo for exactly this reason - 

[wdvltalk] Linux Server - Help Getting Started

[Todd Richards]

Hi Everyone -

I'm going to put together my first Linux server, for testing purposes now
but possibly more later.  I currently host and manage 10 Windows 2003
servers, so Windows is my "thing".  Linux, on the other hand, is not.  

I've looked at the various distros out there and am not sure which would be
the best one for me to start out with.  My plan at this point is only to run
the server as a web box, so I will want Apache, MySQL, and PHP enabled right
away.  Later, possibly RoR.  And even later, I might possibly incorporate
Linux servers into our network.

I've done a fair amount of searching on Google, and there is plenty of
information - but it is all different ("use this", "do that", etc).  I have
downloaded the latest versions of Fedora, Ubuntu, and now openSUSE.  Now I
just need to figure out which one I'm going with.  

Based on past experiences, if anyone has any suggestions on how to get
started, I would appreciate it!

Thanks!

Todd

RE: [wdvltalk] Back up advice

[Todd Richards]

Hi Riva -

I have had good luck with Maxtor and Western Digital.  Even some of the "no
name" brands are actually running brand name drives.  NewEgg.com has a
Western Digital 250GB drive for about $80.00 (includes US shipping).  That
should give you plenty of room now, as well as some room to grow.

Here is the link:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136077

I have seen some cheaper than that, but it just depends on what price range
you want to be in, and how long you want to wait for the perfect deal!

Ha!  Well, I will probably leave the menu in an includes for now, then make
other areas editable.  If he wanted to add articles/newsleters to that
section, he should be able to add the links, I believe, to that page without
needing to edit the main menu.

Todd,

That would be correct...the basic rule with Contribute is: if they can't
navigate to it (via a browser), they can't see it, and thus can't edit it.

I typically lock my menu areas in my template which presents the same issue,
which by the way is my preference - smile.

Hi David -

Thanks for your feedback.  This particular website is ASP, with a few
"includes" for header, menu, footer, etc.  I'm guessing that they would need
to have the menu removed from an includes and put on each page, if they
wanted to add pages?

We've been using Dreamweaver/Contribute with both our primary public facing
site (www.delmarvafoundation.org) and with our internal intranet.
Both sites are template-based. To date, Contribute has performed just as
advertised. The only area that may of concern is when a Contribute user runs
into difficult with formatting issues that might need to be fixed code-side.

Our Contribute users publish everything from text to images, tables,
documents, etc. Oh and there is another issue that is of concern, we are
using a stats called LiveStats.Net and in order to have it track document
stats, a piece JavaScript has to be added as an attribute to the anchor tag
for a the document of interest - being that a Contribute user cannot access
the code-side of an anchor tag, they cannot add the necessary piece of
JavaScript.

My experience of Contribute is that it works best on simple HTML pages, with
tables and images and links.

I think that templates are pretty much beyond it.  If your user is editing a
set of pages that use templates, my choice would be to opt for content
management.

I have seen sites that are completely open, and the Contribute users were
trusted to only edit their own documents.  My preference would be to enforce
protection, even though Contribute probably cannot edit server-side code.

Purely personally, I would only have users edit simple pages whose content
may change often, and where the back-end is not capable of handling them.
One example that springs to mind is a 'contacts' page

Hi Ken -

The email is not sent, or you just don't receive it?  If there is no error
then it probably believes the page is being sent.  My questions (I've never
sent a page like that through though) is how will it know what to do with an
ASP page?  If you are able to send text, and an HTML formatted email, then
my guess is that's the problem.  Again, I've never tried it before so it's
possible that it doesn't make a difference, and it's something completely
different.

[wdvltalk] Firefox 2.x

[Todd Richards]

Hi Everyone -
 
On one of my machines, I've been holding onto Firefox 1.5 (my laptop,
unfortunately) so that I can have it on one, and 2.x on another for
developing purposes.  Today I got a popup from Mozilla that is urging me to
upgrade.  

Is there still a need to test on both?  I currently do, but is there a need
to check on both?  So far I haven't ran into any issues.

Thanks Ross.  This is an interesting article:
http://accessfp.net/protect-your-email-address.htm

I tested one of my pages without the mailto: link and it still found the
address on the page. Here is a way to test a page:

So I guess that answered my question!  Sucks that we even have to worry

If it's your client who wants to put the address on the site then it might
be an idea to go over the risks with them and suggest the PHP contact form.
If it's you who wants to put it on (and we can't talk you out of it lol)
then you could try populating a clickable mail link using a PHP script - not
sure bots can get at it then.

To answer your direct question, I'm not sure how spambots scan for mail
links, but I had a few addresses written purely as inline text (no link) and
never really got hit with spam.

RE: [wdvltalk] Email addresses on websites

[Todd Richards]

The original question - properly "re-phrased" - would have been more towards
"coding" the email address links - whether to use a script to encrypt them,
or not to program them in a link at all.  I don't see how you can't have an
email address on a website.  OK, I see how you can do it, but that's a very
frustrating thing when I go to a site is not being able to find a way to
email them.  I just wasn't sure what the best practice is, and whether the
bots scan for the mailto tags, or the actual content on the page.

Sorry for the confusion - hope the day gets better!  :)

I can't say for sure what they specifically look for but if you feel
strongly about putting the email on the sites, then I don't understand why
the original question? I thought you asked for opinions and info about
putting them on or not? 
Maybe I misunderstood. It's been a very long UN productive day for me so my
brain's fried. I probably just didn't get what you asked and jumped in w/a
dumb response. Sorry!

[Todd Richards]

Thanks Deb.  I think we need to put the email addresses on the site, but
perhaps not in "mailto:"; tags.  Is that what the bots look at when scanning?

Unless a client insists, I do not use site email addys.  It's my
understanding the bots have figured out how to decode all those little
coding things people have been using to try to circumvent them. As for forms
don't even bother w/a cgi form - they just pummel those and feast like no
tomorrow.  Use a strong php email form is my suggestion.

[wdvltalk] Email addresses on websites

[Todd Richards]

Hi Everyone -
 
Just finishing up a site, and I was wondering - are most people still
putting email addresses up on a site, and if so, are they encrypted?  I
thought I heard from somewhere that was a primary way that spammers were
getting addresses.  
 
If anyone has any opinions on this, I'm all ears!

RE: [wdvltalk] Hosting question

[Todd Richards]

Hi Riva -

You're talking $3.99 versus $6.99 in plans - neither of which is expensive
for a host.  It's going to depend on what is on the site as to how much
"traffic" it will take to reach the limit.  If she is truly going to get a
lot of traffic then it would probably put everyone at ease to just get the
Deluxe plan to start.

More importantly, I'd do what it takes to get more than a "holder" page if
she is going to be on TV.  Nothing worse than spreading the word and
pointing people to a site that is under construction!

Hi all,

A potential client of mine is looking at hosting plans for her website. 
I recommended the economy plan to start at godaddy.com. The thing is, she
was asked to be on TV and is expecting a lot of people to visit her website
after the appearance. (The site is not up yet, but we will put up a "holder"
page in the interim.) Would the deluxe plan be better? The differences are:
*Economy Plan:*
. 5 GB Space . 250 GB Transfer
. 500 Email Accounts . *FREE!* Software
. 10 MySQL Databases . 50 Email Forwards . Forums, Blogging, Photo Galleries
. No ads . *EXCLUSIVE! *Metropolis Hosting Community


*Deluxe Plan:*
. 100 GB Space . 1,000 GB Transfer
. 1,000 Email Accounts . *FREE!* Software . 25 MySQL Databases . Unlimited
Email Forwards . Forums, Blogging, Photo Galleries . No ads . *EXCLUSIVE!
*Metropolis Hosting Community

. *FREE!* $25 GoogleR AdWordsR Credit ^1

The only reason I am thinking of the deluxe plan is that she might get a lot
of traffic to her site at one time - would the deluxe plan be better for
that? It wouldn't look good if her site was overwhelmed with hits and people
couldn't get on. Any opinions?

TIA,

RE: [wdvltalk] OT: is i-LINK firewire for transferring data?

[Todd Richards]

Hi Deb -

Yes, the i-Link is basically a Firewire connection -
http://searchsmb.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,,sid44_gci749630,00.html

On my laptop, it uses a smaller connector than other Firewire devices.  No
big deal though if you have the right cable.

As for the speed differences, it is my understanding (I haven't personally
tested, however) that Firewire 400 (the common one) and USB 2 are pretty
much the same speed.

Hi,

My Toshiba laptop has an i-LINK firewire port.  The cable is 6 pin to
4 pin and package says it's for connecting computer to camcorders, digital
cameras and mp3 players and also says "connect a digital camcorder or other
FireWire device to your computer."  Does anyone know if that would include
connecting to an external hard drive and being able to transfer my data for
backup purposes?  I can't seem to get the laptop to recognize the external
using this cable.  Could just be the same issue I had before and just have
to wait it out until it sees the external but I'm starting to think it may
be the wrong kind of connection or cable?  I have done it using a USB2
cable, but of course firewire is going to be faster so hoping to make it
work.  If one can connect a dig camera and transfer photos, I would think it
would work w/data but maybe I just don't know enough.

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).

Any ideas peeps?

RE: [wdvltalk] Javascript question

[Todd Richards]

Hi Riva -

I'm not familiar with this script, or specifically what you mean when you
say it "moves" with the resolution (I have an idea but am not positive).  

My first thought would be to try wrapping it in a  tag and using CSS to
set the position of it to where you want.  Something like





Then use the menu class for positioning.  Not an expert on CSS (ok, on
anything really) but it's worth a try.

Otherwise...  Depending on your language you would need to determine the
resolution, then use a variable to call the right script.  For instance, in
ASP:

If resolution = 800x600 then
res = "1"
Elseif resolution = 1024x768 then
res = "2"
End if

Then in your script file you would then use


Then you would have a .js file for each resolution (ssmItems1.js,
ssmItems2.js, etc).  These could be located in the same folder.  The problem
would be if there are other files calling the original .js script that would
then be screwed up.

Again, this is just something to help get you started.  

Todd

RE: [wdvltalk] Microsoft Exchange & DNS

[Todd Richards]

Just make sure you aren't confusing nameservers for DNS records.  I host all
of my DNS separate from my registrar, so the only thing that I can do with
my registrar (GoDaddy in this case) is to change the name servers, which in
effect tell it "where" to go to find DNS information for the domain.  I
guess if you are hosting your site through the registrar, then it might all
be in one place.  

Unless someone isn't receiving email for a domain, there will always be
separate DNS records for the web/email.  It might be possible that they
point to the same IP, but even that is unlikely.  

The nameservers will be
Yourdomain.com  NS1.somednshost.net
Yourdomain.com  NS2.somednshost.net

This you won't really want to change who is hosting your DNS.

However, if you do have access to the DNS records, and see something like: 

HostPoints to
www.yourdomain.com  xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (the IP address of the host)

Then you can probably safely modify this record to point to the new host.

If you don't see that, or aren't sure, then you will probably just want to
leave it to the network guys, or ask the registrar/host for more help. 

It's something that can be so easy yet have such a negative effect on things
if it isn't right.

HTH!

Todd

Thanks for the reply BJ.

I sort of only understood half of what you said, but I think I'll forward
your comments to the network guys.  Hopefully they know all this already,
but they don't seem to be confident, hence my question.

All I understand is that there are DNS records at the registrar which I can
adjust to point the web domain to the new web hosts.  I didn't know there
were separate ones for email and web.  I also don't know where to find A
records or MX records?





-Original Message-
From: Bj [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 

To add to Todd's reply -

Exchange is an internal mail system, and whatever you do to the company's
Internet connection, Exchange will carry on working (internally).  It's
usually however configured with an Internet mail gateway that allows
messages to be sent and received to and from external addresses using a
domain name that resolves to an IP address.  The way external email finds
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is by going to the DNS record for yourcompany.com and
getting the IP address of the gateway server from the MX record(s).

There are separate DNS records for Web pages and mail, and they can point
(if required) to different places.

The A records point to IP addresses for the domain eg mysite.com CNAME
records are used where the IP address is already defined by an A record to
provide pointing for directory prefixes such as www or ftp MX records
provide pointing for email.  You can have more than one, pointing

to different addresses, with different priority levels so that email gets
through to a backup server if the main one is down.

If your client has existing MX records that directly specify an IP address
rather than a URL, then adding or changing an A record for Web pages
shouldn't affect the flow of email at all.  Even if you move the domain name

to a different ISP and move the DNS records to their nameserver, as long as
you keep the MX records same as they are now then there shouldn't be any
disruption because the cached records on Internet routers and the IP address

they pick up once the cache expires should be the same.  Only if the IP
address of the mail server changes do you have a problem.

Or, if the DNS records for mycompany.com look like this and you change the A

record to a different IP then you have a problem:

IN A 111.112.113.114
MAIL IN CNAME mycompany.com
MX IN 10 mail.mycompany.com

Talk to their ISP early about what you want to do and ask for the DNS record

details.

Bj

Hi guys,

I have a client who uses Microsoft Exchange for their company's email
services.  We are in the process of developing a new website for them - at
the moment they do not have a website at all.

My concern is that if we change the DNS settings to point their domain to a
new host for their website that this will disrupt their email services.

I have no idea about Exchange or how it works.  They have some network guys
they contract to support their systems and they advised that changing the
DNS will have no affect on their internal email.

Can anyone confirm that this is the case?  I am just concerned that if we
make such a critical change that it will indeed bring down their email
systems.  Does someone have some knowledge of Exchange and DNS that can
advise?

Thanks in advance

If she clicks on a link and it opens in IE, then it didn't remove it from

It's really hard to say why it would have disappeared.  Are there other

mail server admins, they would all probably take out a wet noodle and start
walking towards you (trust me - been there, done that!).  This is a main
target of dictionary attacks as spammers try to find valid accounts.  We
used to do it, but there is absolutely no good reason any more to do that.

As for the other questions, unless someone here is experienced with
Exchange, you may need to join an Exchange list to really benefit.  Or take
a look at M$'s KB (http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/support/default.mspx).
I have dabbled with Exchange but would have a very difficult time giving you
step-by-step instructions.

Subject: [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.

Any pointers will be greatly apreciated as always.

RE: [wdvltalk] iPod question

[Todd Richards]

Yeah, but she said "brother-in-law", so technically it's family right???
;-)

As Ross stated, I'm sure that Apple and many others would be stamping a firm
"NO" on the content of this email.  However, I seriously doubt that you are
going to have men in black suits at your door tomorrow morning.  You aren't
uploading it via KaZaA for others to download, nor are you selling it to
anyone.  A single iPod can be linked to two computers, so that's not an
issue.  And as Ross said, a single song bought from the iTunes store can be
linked to 5 computers.  

Ripping a CD via iTunes to store in your music library isn't illegal, as
long as it's yours and you don't intend on distributing it.  Heck, I'm glad
that I did since shortly after I took the time to digitize my music I had
over 300 CDs stolen.  

Heck, if push came to shove I would just say that the iPod is your
brother-in-law's, and you are just borrowing it.  But that's just me.

Yes, it's your conscience.  I guess mine is already in bed for the night...

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.

I guess it comes down to your conscience...

RE: [wdvltalk] Microsoft Exchange & DNS

[Todd Richards]

Well, maybe I'm missing something.  If you are just changing the A record of
the domain name to point to the IP of the new website - and that's it - then
everything should be fine.  However, if you are going to make a "critical"
change, such as changing the name servers, then you need to make sure you
are prepared.

Subject: [wdvltalk] Microsoft Exchange & DNS

Hi guys,

I have a client who uses Microsoft Exchange for their company's email
services.  We are in the process of developing a new website for them - at
the moment they do not have a website at all.

My concern is that if we change the DNS settings to point their domain to a
new host for their website that this will disrupt their email services.

I have no idea about Exchange or how it works.  They have some network guys
they contract to support their systems and they advised that changing the
DNS will have no affect on their internal email.

Can anyone confirm that this is the case?  I am just concerned that if we
make such a critical change that it will indeed bring down their email
systems.  Does someone have some knowledge of Exchange and DNS that can
advise?

Thanks in advance

RE: [wdvltalk] Hijacked forms

[Todd Richards]

Thanks Dwayne.  I agree - it annoys me to no end that there are people who's
sole purpose in life is to destruct and destroy.  This morning I had to
patch our mail server because a little known exploit was being used to fire
off DoS attacks.  I spend most of my day trying to combat spam on our mail
server, now it's coming through our web forms.  With so many studies done on
how much time and money is spent on dealing with this stuff, you'd think
Congress could do something more about it.  Oh well, wishful thinking.  (and
I don't mean for this to turn into a political discussion!)

Nonetheless, I will probably try the CAPTCHA method.  I don't know that
people would actively go out of their way to send us snail mail to ask about
joining our organization, so we need some sort of contact via the web.

I had this happen and I figured for my purposes it was easier to do without
any on-line contact: form, email or etc.  The spam to actual customer ration
was 9:1.  Fortunately, all form data was written to a text file, so the
attempts to invoke JavaScript or to redirect to some other web page were
extinguished.

Currently, I ask any serious inquiries to be sent via snail mail.  We are
receiving legitimate mail only, since spammers won't spend 39¢ to spam you.

But this may be impractical for most businesses, so I would use the captcha
to foil the bots.  However, note that there are people who will manually
type spam into a form with captcha (something we also experienced).   I
think President Bush needs to round up people with nothing better to do than
to find web pages and type spam into their contact forms -- and have them do
something useful, like serve in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Hmm... perhaps we need a way to track down spammers and automatically draft
them into the service?

But back to the original post, the captcha is a great line of defense... But
not 100% impenetrable.

Small office = checks and balances.  The "boss" also does recruiting, so for

why are bosses opening mail from the web site?

it should go through an administrative assistant, who will purge the crap
manually

"purge" in this case means moving the offending mail to a special archive
folder, where a web wonk such as yourself can periodically review the source
IPs to detect patterns

[wdvltalk] Hijacked forms

[Todd Richards]

Happy Friday everyone!
 
Some of my sites lately have been experiencing a case of spammers hijacking
my forms to send ads and other crap.  Yesterday we started getting the same
thing at work here from our recruiting website.  The forms are mainly "for
more information fill out the form below" so we need to be sensitive of not
putting them through a ringer to send the form.  Obviously my bosses aren't
too happy that they have to put up with the crap, and I'm not very happy
either!  I have a few other sites that seem to have been spared so far, so
I'd like to be prepared as it's just a matter of time.

Anyway, does anyone have any "best practices" that you are using against
this?  CAPTCHA?  The sites are programmed in ASP.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Todd

RE: [wdvltalk] Internet settings for different user accounts

[Todd Richards]

Hi Riva -

I'm sure if you want to spend the time, you can set up XP to block this for
you.  However, for a small amount you can use a program like NetNanny.  I
had a family who were having similar problems a few years ago (more with the
content surfed for versus access in general).  We installed the program and
they were very happy with the results.

You can get a trial on their website if you want to check it out.

RE: [wdvltalk] Pages moved - Best way to handle?

[Todd Richards]

Duh, why didn't I think of that???  :(

My 404 is customized so they get a friendly message and have all the
navigation, etc.  But it would make sense to check the page requested and
redirect all traffic for the gallery pages right to the gallery.  

Thanks BJ!

Once upon a time when I changed a site around, I would leave 'stub' pages to
replace all the missing ones with a "This page has moved" message and a
redirect after 5 seconds.  Now I do a custom 404 that looks like a regular
page on the site, including all the navigation, with the 404 type message in
the body, see http://www.the-british-chihuahua-club.org.uk/nosuchpage.htm
for example.  But to make it transparent to the user just put some ASP code
in the page (before anything else so headers aren't sent) that checks for
gallery calls and does a redirect (in ASP that's Response.Redirect("URL")

[wdvltalk] Pages moved - Best way to handle?

[Todd Richards]

Hi Gang -
 
I built a site about a year and a half ago as an emergency - and favor - to
the owner.  It wasn't exactly what we wanted but it worked at the time.
About a month ago, I rebuilt the site.  The most significant change (other
than cosmetics) was the location of the gallery.  It moved from static pages
located in "/images/gallery/" to dynamic pages located in "/gallery/".  
 
As you can imagine, a lot of the pages are cached.  I have a custom 404 page
that shoots me a message when someone hits the page.  99% of them are for
the old gallery.  Some are from legitimate surfers, some are from bots.
Yes, I'm getting tired of all these messages.  
 
Other than removing the alert email from the 404 message, does anyone have
any suggestions on the proper way to handle this?  Is there anything I
can/should do?  Everything is running ASP on Windows 2003 running IIS 6.  I
also should note that I have full access to the domains DNS.  I'm wondering
if I can set up something that says anything for
"http://www.site.com/images/gallery/*"; should just go to
"http://www.site.com/gallery/gallery.asp";?  
 
Thanks for any suggestions!
 
Todd

This is interesting.  Is it geared more towards FrontPage users (I'm more

You're welcome.  Let me just put in a pitch for the Firefox web developer's
toolbar.  It has some really nice features including outlining tables,

debugging options.  There's more.  I rely on it heavily for my first line of
debugging my stuff.  

Check it out here...

it doesn't, and even worse, it pretends a download is completed when it 
(mostly) isn't.   Is this the end of firefox as we know it, or should I be

RE: [wdvltalk] Tracking ad clicks

Well, I ran into this same problem of using ASP and looking for ad tracking.
If you are on PHP there are a ton of them available, but not ASP!  I finally
resorted to using Absolute Banner Manager from Xigla
(www.xigla.com/absolutebm/index.htm).  Not free, but it seems to work pretty
well.  

If you find other options please let me know!

RE: [wdvltalk] clickTag -- Flash banner question

[Todd Richards]

Hi Rita -

I'm not a Flash guru, but it has to do with them being able to track the
incoming traffic.  I did a quick Google for "clicktag" and a few sites came
up that talked more about it.  I think you will find more help there.  From
what I have seen it looks like you are close but not quite there yet.  The
Macromedia site (now Adobe) gave some examples.

Sorry I can't be of more help!

they wrote that I should substitute clickTag for the url:

I am unfamiliar with this. Right now, I have:

I'm confused. I don't think they understand what they are telling me. How do
I get the click to jump to the site?

[wdvltalk] Desktop IIS tool

[Todd Richards]

Hey Everyone!  I came across this free utility today that let's you manage
multiple websites through IIS on a "non-server" machine (Windows 2000 or XP
Pro).  I have come up with my own ways to get around this limitation, but it
is a bit clumsy.  I haven't personally tested it yet but wanted to let you
know about it!

RE: [wdvltalk] Splash page?

[Todd Richards]

Riva -

Seldom do I find a splash page useful, and in fact, I often "skip" them if I
can (if that option is given).  My thoughts are if there is something that
needs to be displayed that is important, then it should be on the home page
with a link to it so that I can choose to view it.  

Just my two cents!

Hi all,

I am redesigning a website and it currently has a "splash" page.  The 
client said that it is up to me to decide whether to keep it or not.  Do 
you think it will add to the site or annoy people?  Any opinions are 
welcome.

Thanks,

RE: [wdvltalk] ASP question again

[Todd Richards]

Riva -

I have a similar script in that it loops through the variables of the form.
However, it's being sent as HTML.  With that, I'm just using the  tag -
which works great.  It also then allows me to bold my
objects, and it makes for easier reading by the recipient.

I'm not sure how many variables your form might have, but you could also add
an IF statement so that if something was blank, it wouldn't add it to the
email body.  

Todd


For Each obj in request.form
  if obj <> "" then
body = body & "" & obj & ": " &
request.form(obj) & ""

Hi all,

My ASP script is working great (thanks again) but I find the e-mail 
comes out all on one line, like this:

Form Field Values realname : (name) email : (email)


This is the code:

For Each obj in request.form
body = body & obj & " : " & request.form(obj) & vbCrLf
Next
body = body & ""


Is there a way to make it appear all on separate lines, like so?

Realname: (name)
Email: (email)

RE: [wdvltalk] AVG v OE

[Todd Richards]

I'm not sure what we are debating here - AVG, OE, Windows?  I use AVG on ALL
my computers and it is a great program.  I don't have it sitting in my
systray either, but I know I'm protected.  In fact, I replaced Norton with
AVG and won't go back.

By default, AVG will display a "certification" message in your emails, but
this can easily be turned off.  Perhaps that is the case?

Again, maybe I'm confused on the question.

Joseph - one of my sons is IT Manager for a large 
London Advertising Agency. (200 users on a

that comes with XP Home. He told me to wipe it 
off before I do anything - he said it is nothing 
but trouble and he's now banned it from any 
machine owned by the company either in house or 
at home - and also has told staff he won't advise 
on problems on their own machines on which they 
are doing business work (they allow this for some 
people that can't justify a dedicated home 
machine and as a "perk" he supplies technical support to them).

He said there are all sorts of problems with it 
that MS won't acknowledge (his company is a 
corporate MS licensee due to the number they have 
and also a corporate customer of Dell, (for all 
the good that did me!) as they buy exclusively 
Dell machines and he's told them he doesn't want 
it. He's told me to get XP Professional.

The problem you describe (no AVG message on 
emails) is just one of those he mentioned. He 
says as a result you don't know whether you are safe or not.

RE: [wdvltalk] ASP question

[Todd Richards]

David -

I typically haven't had to provide mail server or a password, only in cases
where I wanted to specifically use a certain mail server.  Say you are
hosting with provider a, and for whatever reason you don't want to use what
they offer to send messages, you can then specify a mail server name to send
the messages through a remote server.  Depending on the security of that
mail server, you may need to provide authentication information.

If you need them, here are two great links that give more information on
sending mail using CDO:

http://www.w3schools.com/asp/asp_send_email.asp
http://www.asp101.com/articles/john/cdosmtprelay/default.asp


Fortunately for me, I have the luxury of running my own web server (and mail
server) - so I almost always get my way! :)

Does anyone know if you need to provide a mail server name or

Are you testing with your email address, or theirs?  I prefer to do all my

not being caught up in a spam filter.

Oh, I just noticed that you should really have an email address in the from

I found this on the server site:

*What objects are supplied with your ASP?*
Our system supports the five standard ASP objects:

* Request - gets information from the user.
* Response - sends information to the user.
* Server - controls the Internet Information Server (IIS).
* Session - stores information about and changes settings for the
  user's current Web-server session.
* Application - shares application-level information and control
  settings for the lifetime of the application.
* There is also CDONTS - (Collaboration Data Objects for Microsoft
  Windows NTR Server) - which allow easy access to e-mail systems
  embedded in Windows products.

My new script is:
<%
 body = "Form Field Values" & vbCrLf

'
'***Collect the values
'***in the form
'

For Each obj in request.form
body = body & obj & " : " & request.form(obj) & vbCrLf
Next
body = body & ""

'
'***Sends the Email
'

Dim objSendMail
Set objSendMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
objSendMail.To ="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
objSendMail.From ="Barbara Payne"
objSendMail.Subject = "New Newsletter Subscription"
objSendMail.Body = body
objSendMail.Send

and it is called: 

When I run the script, the redirect page works, but I don't get the

You might see if they have specifications on what to use for sending mail.
Are you using CDONTs or CDO?  You can also specify a specific mail server
port and specific port - if needed.

Where is the site hosted?  Do you know what version of Windows they are
running (2000, 2003)?  Is it possible that you can send a code snippet of
what you are using to generate the email?

RE: [wdvltalk] WordPerfect 12

[Todd Richards]

Uninstall it.  WordPerfect (any version) installs by default an array of
other applications / utilities, some of which then start up with your
computer.  It's possible that you clicked on one of these utilities without
knowing what it was, and now it wants to correct it.

RE: [wdvltalk] OT: GRRRRR!!! shared folders are empty!

[Todd Richards]

Deb -

The term "mapping" just means assigning a drive letter to a networked shared
folder.  It allows you to access it by using "L:\Transfer" instead of
\\desktop\Transfer.  So if you can't see those shared folders, "mapping"
isn't going to get you any further.

It really isn't smart to share out your entire C drive, so I'm with you on
that.  That being said, if it's your network, behind your firewall, and your
data isn't "highly classified" then it's probably not that big of a deal.
Don't worry about the whole "$" thing - just wanted to bring it to your
attention in case you were trying to share the entire C drive.

I think starting over is a good idea.  Where are you located at?

Todd

I don't think I've tried to share any system 
folders, some are just folders w/data in them 
that I've saved over time.  I tried my Macromedia folder and a game folder.

I read somewhere in some link that was given to 
me that sharing the entire C drive is not smart, 
opens things up more for security issues and 
w/the way things are going I'm afraid to do the 
whole C drive anyway.  I never saw any 
instructions for using the $ sign so that's 
something new.  Having the entire desktop C drive 
available to me on my laptop would be GREAT and 
that's why I'm wondering if mapping isn't what I should be doing instead.

Right now I'm trying a system restore on my

all the stuff I've done so I don't have to 
manually backtrack.  My luck the System Restore won't "take" ...

RE: [wdvltalk] OT: GRRRRR!!! shared folders are empty!

[Todd Richards]

No, you don't have to reboot each time.  What folder are you trying to
share?  Is it just a normal folder, or is it a system folder?  Yes, if you
are sharing a folder on the desktop, and add a file to that folder, you
should see it on the laptop - instantly - if you are looking at THAT shared
folder.  No reboots needed. 

Also, what names are you giving your folders?  For instance, if you are
trying to share the entire C drive, then by default it names the share "C$"
(the $ means it is a hidden share).  So you can't access it by going
\\desktop\c, you would need to actually use \\desktop\c$.  I would suggest
not using spaces in the names of the shares, as that opens up the
opportunity for typos, etc.

Are you using this folder strictly for transferring files between the two
computers?  If so, start over.  Create a brand new folder (maybe called
"Transfer") on one of the drives.  Then use the options to share it.  You
should then be able to go to the other computer, type the name of the
desktop - \\desktop - and see the shared folder as being available.  Try
this first.  If you are not able to see it or are getting an error message
typing just \\desktop, then there is a naming problem or a permissions
problem.

Just the other day, I had two transfer files between an old computer and a
new one.  So I set up a "transfer" folder on one machine and dropped all the
files into it that I wanted on the new one.  Then ran over to the new one
and moved them over.  It saved me so much time over trying to create disks,
etc.

Let us/me know - we will get you through this!!!  :)

Todd

I just tried another folder that has .txt files in it only.  Rebooted 
both computers. It shared fine, can see it on the laptop.  Then I 
added a test.txt to the newly shared desktop folder, never showed up 
in the laptop.  It doesn't make any sense that some folders will 
share and others won't does it?  I'm taking the same steps each time. 
If I add a file to an already shared folder on the desktop that I can 
see on the laptop, is it not supposed to show up on the laptop shared 
folder? Please tell me I don't have to reboot each time I add a file 
to a shared folder in order for it to show up!

RE: [wdvltalk] OT: GRRRRR!!! shared folders are empty!

[Todd Richards]

Deb - 

The changes you make should be almost instantaneous.  If it isn't, then you
have a super slow network connection.  And for the record, I don't think
I've ever rebooted after making such a change.  I can't imagine that my
company would be happy if I rebooted the server everytime I adjusted a
shared folder.  Maybe (and I say that with a BIG maybe) that might be
different with XP Home, but I doubt it. 

Once you share a folder, by default you will also be sharing all of the
folders within it.  Of course, with some advanced knowledge you could
tighten the permissions on these folders, but I wouldn't suggest doing that
if you aren't sure what you are doing.  

Here is another link that you might check out:

I understood it isn't instantaneous after this was mentioned.  It's 
been hours and still not showing up even earlier when I wrote.

Yes, one folder is working - that's it.

I've even tried adding sharing to a folder w/in a shared folder 
thinking I might have to share each folder or file I have put in a 
shared folder. (Desperation, ya know.)

RE: [wdvltalk] OT: sharing a printer isn't working

[Todd Richards]

Hi Deb -

Just catching up on email and not sure how you are doing on this, so I
thought I would follow up.

If you...

1) Go to Start - Run - type in cmd (for command prompt) and type ping
\\nameofdesktop, does it respond?  If not, then you are not seeing it at
all.  If yes, then go to #2.
2) Open your Printers dialog, go to the address bar, and type in
\\nameofdesktop.  Does your shared printer show up?  If so, can you
right-click and choose "Connect"? If you connect, but the printer doesn't
show up, then it's not being shared properly.

Subject: [wdvltalk] OT: sharing a printer isn't working

Hi,

I've tried this numerous times and I can't get it to work.  Hope 
someone here can help.

I have a desktop and a laptop computer both running WinXP Home 
edition.  I have one printer that I'd like both puters to be able to 
use to print with.  I have a Linksys wireless router set up and the 
two puters share this connection for Internet just fine.  But I can't 
get the laptop to use the printer.  I get error messages every time I 
try ... something about not being able to connect or similar as I 
recall ... error msg text is found later in this post.

I first set up a network connection when I had a firewire cable 
running from the laptop to the desktop.  On the laptop I could only 
view the external hard drive and *not* my desktop hard drive.  I 
don't know why because I had the fw cable plugged into the desktop 
and not the external drive.  Well, I deleted that connection as I'm 
trying to do this wireless-ly.  Maybe my problem is this ... must I 
have a wireless printer to make this work?

I do have my desktop set up to share the printer.  I did the 
networking thing on the desktop, made a floppy to set up the network 
on the laptop.  Put that floppy in and double clicked the network.exe 
file (or whatever it was called) supposedly to network the two 
puters.  I'm showing a wireless connection in my laptop tray as being 
in working order.

 From what I can tell with my limited knowledge this should be 
working but it's not.  The printer does not show up in the printer 
selection window on the laptop so I cannot select my Canon printer to 
print to. Error message when I try to find the printer is:

"Windows cannot connect to the printer.  Either the printer name was 
not typed correctly (I checked I'm typing in the right name) or the 
specified printer has lost it's connection to the server.  For more 
info click HELP."

Well, I don't have a server set up, just two computers so to me that 
last part makes no sense.

What am I missing?

I also need to understand something.  I cannot see my desktop on my 
laptop even with the firewire cable connected.  IF I can ever get 
this set up to work, am I not supposed to be able to access all 
programs/files that are on my desktop from my laptop so that I can 
work from my laptop via the desktop? Or am I misunderstanding this 
networking thing?

Thanks for the advice Dwayne.   I'm sure you are right about an HP, but my

[wdvltalk] Thoughts on CartWeaver

[Todd Richards]

Hi Everyone -

We are looking for a shopping cart that will allow some customizations for a
"members-only" group.  For instance, there are different pricing levels
based on membership level.  

I've heard people talk about Cart Weaver and I'm wondering what your
experiences were with customizing.  Is there another solution that I should
be looking at?  We are considering something such as StoreFront.  But the
cost is definitely more.

This will need to be ASP based running on Windows 2003 server.  

Thanks!

RE: [wdvltalk] Download of web db ro desktop via VB

[Todd Richards]

Hi Diane -

I'm confused - why does your client want to download the entire SQL DB each
day?  Is it just for backup purposes?

Subject: [wdvltalk] online stationery ordering

Hello,

I am currently working with our university print shop to create an
online ordering system for stationery.

Basically, we would like users to fill in an on-line form with the
information required for the stationery they would like to order and
then be presented with an automatically generated pdf. Once they click
'approve' the pdf would then be sent directly to the print shop for
printing.

Does anyone know / is anyone currently using software that can do this? 

Thanks for all your help in advance.

I seem to recall a way of hooking IIS's authentication into a MSSQL 
server in a similar way to the below, but I can't remember how to do it 
and it was a long time ago...

I'll see if I've got it archived anywhere...

[wdvltalk] Ruby On Rails

[Todd Richards]

Anyone have any experience with Ruby on Rails, or opinions?  I have a
co-developer who is working on a big site with me and he is telling me that
this is the way to go.  It sounds pretty good, but I'd like some more
opinions on it.  Also, I'm new to Linux and very experienced with Windows.
Stay where I'm at, or once I'm there I won't go back???

Thanks for any opinions!

RE: [wdvltalk] FTP Problems

[Todd Richards]

Hi Peter -

I went through something similar about a month ago.  A client was trying to
connect to my FTP site, but it was not resolving.  However, I was able to
access it from several different PCs.  Come to find out, it was the built-in
firewall in XP.  Just out of curiosity, I would disable his firewall and see
if that lets him connect.

Subject: [wdvltalk] FTP Problems

I am tearing my hair out with this one!

I have a page that I can upload to a client site. My machine runs 
WindowsXP and I use CuteFTP 7.0 for uploading. It is changed on a 
weekly basis and my client is happy to undertake the uploading 
himself to save having to send it to me and then perhaps wait a few 
days if I am away before it gets uploaded.

The problem is, when we try to connect from his machine to the 
server, Cute comes back with the message "Cannot resolve 
ftp..org.uk". I've deleted and set up the FTP data in Cute myself 
- several times and made sure the user name and password is correct.. 
I've taken a copy of his page on disk and uploaded it from my machine 
via Cute - no problem. Everything fine. Page displays OK.

I've then taken a copy of both his version and one I've modified but 
also uploaded from my machine and tried to upload again from his 
machine - but get the same message from Cute!

Anyone any clues. I don't believe it is the page (just trying to 
eliminate every possibility) as we don't get as far as making 
a  connection, never mind upload the page!

He is also running WindowsXP and bought CuteFTP 7.0 so everything was 
identical. He has a dial-up connection while I have broadband - they 
are the only differences.

Any sane and sensible ideas - and even a few whacky ones at this 
stage! - very welcome.

Thanks

Peter MacGregor

RE: [wdvltalk] Question about image

[Todd Richards]

On Nov. 14, Michael Collins wrote
>> I would like to open a window the size of the new enlarged img. And have
an X, or something, that you can click and close the page. 


Michael -

This is what I've used and it works great for me.



Then just change the width and height to what you want it to open up to.  If
you have a lot of them, then you might be better off to call a function
where you just pass the urls and dimensions.

I have the "focus();" on this because at one point I had a gallery set up
for someone that opened the larger images in a new pop-up window when they
clicked on the thumbnail.  However, if the person didn't close that window
and clicked on another image to view, then the pop-up got lost and they
became frustrated.  By doing it this way then the pop-up regains focus
whether it was closed or not.

Then on the page with "big image", you can figure out where you want to have
the "Close Window" button.  Then just put Close Window.  You can wrap that in a  tag to put it
to the right side.  Or you can use an image instead.

Others might have a better way to do it, so stay tuned!

HTH,

Todd

RE: [wdvltalk] Asp forum

[Todd Richards]

Yeah, it sounds like I might have looked at that one too, but ruled it out
for the same reason.  Please post if you do find something, as will I!

Web Wiz has way too many nested tables and a bad case of classitis. It is
off my list. I'm still looking at the Snitz forum. While there is no doctype
that can be fixed and there is less classitis and fewer nested tables. 

I found one that I didn't bookmark because of price that was according to
the feature list everything I wanted. XHTML, email posting as well as
notifications and accessible but at $1,500 it was out of  my budget. :-(

I am curious too.  I need to set up a forum, and downloaded two of them
today, but haven't set them up yet.

Does anyone know a good asp or asp-neb forum application? 

Preferably one that outputs xhtml and is accessible.

RE: [wdvltalk] OT Problem with WebCam

[Todd Richards]

Peter -

You can't do a reinstall with the CD - or a download from the Creative Labs
website?  I actually have 4 CL webcams and XP has had no problems with any
of them.  So I think the problem might just be with a driver that was on the
original CD (not your fault).  

I would first check out Creative's download area for new software specific
to your cam (http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/)

Also check out the KB for others who have had this problem.  I did a quick
search in their forum and for someone else having a similar problem the
suggestion was a) downloading the latest driver and b) making sure that the
drivers for the motherboard were up to date (to cover chipset, USB, etc), as
well as the BIOS.

Hang in there!

Todd

The whole point is I can't do a reinstall because as soon as I try the PC
freezes up!
