Looks like I'll be looking at a lot of Javascript in the near future.

For now, however, the TINIEST thing is puzzling me.

The Javascript I'm using to create a popup window from a link on this links page (the more banners link) is not working, although it used to.

I use the exact same script on this one and this one, and they both work.

I can't for the life of me figure out why, and I'm sure I haven't overlooked anything 'cause I spent a long time trying to figure this out. Ouuu.

For the record, I found two things closest to what I need here: http://www.digital-web.com/articles/generating_dynamic_css_with_php/

And here: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/alternate/

I'm going to be trying the second one with one of my sites soon. It's oh-so convenient!

The PHP thing you mentioned is exactly what I'd like to do.
I don't need anything extensive, just swapping of background images and colors. <3

I've been asking a lot lately. My mind is always here-and-there. I try only to ask after I've exhausted my searches! Thus comes this query!

I've been wondering how one goes about skinning a website. I'm not even sure how to start, which is why my searches turn up dry, I suppose. What am I searching for? Is it some really advanced CSS-manipulating code that I don't want to learn? Or is it, perhaps, so simple that it's surprising I still don't know it?

Help a girl out! Please.

["# people are online"]

Griever - Shoutmix, cbox and the like have fallen from the glory they knew about three years ago. In fact, all the shoutbox services have. It's really sad.

The best shoutboard I've seen is here: http://www.aetheriavisio.com But it was coded by my friend's boyfriend and it uses myslq and all that stuff, which I'm not sure I wanted to mess with just for a shoutbox (unless it is, in fact, easy, like phpbb).

Margo - I'll check those out!

EDIT: Looks like I might have to go the MySQL route. It's been a while. c_c;

Well, I think I'm turning this into a free-php-based-scripts thread, because I remembered I have yet to find a working "# people are online" script, or a text-based counter script, either. Or a news script that doesn't cost $50 to remove the "watermark" from.

Edit the second: http://senshuu.com/copymain.php

Xepher, why do shoutbox non-input areas (where the text is supposed to be) keep showing up like this for me? If I can figure that out, I could probably use one of my other shoutboard scripts that I thought had failed. (One of them almost worked, but instead only let me post once and/or failed to refresh. It also would go white if I changed something.)

Hey, I never even thought about this.

I have mirrors for both my webcomics, but they're only for the pages. Backup, really. I have tooons of content on this server, which will always be my "main".

A tagboard script! I need one!

My search usually turns up something useless (doesn't work as easily as said). The one I had closest to working broke during the last server move/upgrade/whatsis.

Thanks!

Oh! That's wonderful. <3
No, I don't think it'll get any more complicated than that, hee. Thanks so much.

Oh neat, everything works now! Thanks for all your help *_*
One thing though. Now things relating to jessicacantlope.com revert to the xepher address when you leave off the final slash again. Not that it'll be a big deal since it'll be two pages at most (unless somebody uses ai.jessicacantlope.com...). I'm just real super-picky about this kind of thing, lol.

This is what my main .htaccess file looks like right now:

They all work except for the two I mentioned, ai.jessicacantlope.com and millennium.senshuu.com. D:

So I rearranged things with my first issue and then the address went to my main 404 page...lol. Then I realized it must be trying to go to /portfolio/ai/, which doesn't exist.
With all this fancy coding I'm not sure exactly how to fix it. I just tried and got a 500 error, lol.

Also, the main.php subdomain redirect doesn't work. I hope it's not another order issue.

Wow, I've spent more time on this than I thought today (along the way I've been cleaning up code here and there). I need to sleep or something lol.

Wahahaha, it works, it all works... beautiful. Thank you so much. ;x;

There are only two questions remaining for me!

(1) How you make a subdomain redirect to a file--in this case, senshuu.com/main.php (which I want to be millennium.senshuu.com ... really weird how I set it up the first go-round, in retrospect), if that's possible.
(2) The following didn't quite work, although it might be my fatigue playing into my understanding of things right now:

Code Select Expand

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   ai\.jessicacantlope\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   !^$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}  !^/ai/(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*)         /ai/$1

When I put that in it just redirects to jessicacantlope.com when I thought it would go back to the other Ai site... unless it's the way I have the stuff with Jessicacantlope.com, yeah that probably has something to do with it! lol I'm out of it.

But I'm in such a coding mood. It always happens late night when I should be doing other things. (Not drunk though... alcohol doesn't like me.)

Old topic REVIVAL!

So today I've been trying to figure out how to do subdomains for my folders, since apparently it's not as easy as creating one at godaddy and typing in the URL of your desired folder. Grr! Things are never that simple!

For example, I would like

http://senshuu.com/ai/

to also show up like

http://ai.senshuu.com

I'd also like to have maybe more than one subdomain leading to the same folder. They would remain the same as you navigate the site too, like ai.senshuu.com/art.php would still show up that way instead of reverting, if I'm wording it right.

Everything I've found so far (like THIS) hasn't really worked, but I might have gone about it the wrong way--evidently all the code has to be in the htaccess file in the root folder?

By the way, I just happily used this thread to link a folder to my new domain name. Yay! Now -this- should be simple, but it's a little opposite...

One other thing: Whenever anyone goes to my domain name, like senshuu.com/ai/ for instance, and leaves off the final forward-slash, the url always changes back to the Xepher subdomain address, in this case millennium.xepher.net/ai, which is kind of awkward since people don't always put in those last forwardslashes.

I know why this happens now, but need to know how to fix it. I'm gonna paste what Xepher said here to remember:

"This is again, something you can fix yourself with the same sort of mod_rewrite stuff I mentioned above. I, unfortunately, don't have an example of doing this specifically, but I know it's possible. You can basically make your own custom rule to tell the server to look for folders and add the slash, but extend it so it remembers which domain people used the first time."

I'm getting into some pretty complex code stuff. I never thought I'd even have to touch it. But, I like having things a certain way. <3

Preemptive thanks!

Huzzah! I found out that the clients I was already using on both my PC and mac (Filezilla/Cyberduck) have SFTP options. I didn't even think of that. I connected with Cyberduck yaaay. Feels a little slower but it's not really inconvenient, and likely temporary.

Xepher.net itself is kind of slow in that the header loads, and then everything else loads a minute later (a few seconds later on high speed), and for the control panel it's a little bleh. That's always something that irks me, but I can deal with it lol. Banners are kind of blah for 56k too (but who likes minding 56k?! Even I don't anymore! I'm one of 5 people who still uses it).

Seems I read over things a bit too fast, so sorry if I posted a bit hastily. :'D

Thanks yny-u, Xepher, griever!

I'm having issues connecting. I'm not sure if it's timeout from how long "xepher.net" things take to load now (on my home connection, makes accessing the user panel a lot more painful) or if it's just being weird with my passwords. I don't remember which of the three I used at some point still work. Or is it just one now?

Please let there be a free SFTP client thing for mac, or else we have more issues.

I <3 Xephernet, I just wanna be able to access it. ;^;
