pc guru:
@deco no I am not arrogant,geez what's the outburst for u don't even know why I asked ? Anyway the reason I asked was because I wanted to know if he had idea on web development so I can save myself the stress of telling him how to use a script I was looking for to give him. I think u should properly access the situation before jumping into conclusions,I get no kicks from showing arrogance or level of knowledge on forums I only come to help people without insulting others,I'd suggest you do the same too. Anyway nice one urs seems far better.

I guess I misunderstood you guys. I hereby apologize to you guys. So sorry my buddies. You are even right. He can just manually choose the background image like you mentioned in each page. Poster hope you got your answer(s) now
WebmastersRe: How Do I Randomly Change Background Image Of My Pages by deco2come: 9:36am On Dec 21, 2011
dhtml5:
Haba. With basic html skills you can achieve that naa. . .
pc guru:
are you a web developer ?  huh
What exactly is wrong with you guys? Someone asked a question which implies that he/she doesn't know the answer and that is why he/she is asking such question. Instead of answering the question, you guys show some arrogance and at the end did not even answer the question. Now tell me did you guys act like professionals? The answer is "No".
Besides, the questioner didn't mention his/her level in web designing. My brothers let's help each other rather than showing our power. I have got some great answers from you guys before and I want you guys to keep it up.

Anyway poster, I am assuming that you are using php. Let's assume that the name of your six pages are page1.php, page2.php, page3.php. Here is what you should do.

At the beginning of each page enter the code below
<?php

$currentpage = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];
switch($currentpage){
         case '/page1.php':
    $bg = 'image1.jpg';
    break;
   
        case '/page2.php':
    $bg = 'image2.jpg';
    break;
   
      case '/page3.php':
    $bg = 'image3.jpg';
    break;
   
        case '/page4.php':
    $bg = 'image4.jpg';
    break;
   
        case '/page5.php':
    $bg = 'image5.jpg';
    break;
   
       case '/page6.php':
    $bg = 'image6.jpg';
    break;
   
           default:
    $bg = 'imagedefault.jpg';
    break;
}
?>

After adding all the other codes you want, add the below

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">


<meta http-equiv="Description" content="" />
<meta http-equiv="Keywords" content="" />
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.bga{
   
    background-image: url('imagefolder/<?php echo $bg ?>;');
}
</style>

</head>

<div class="bga">Testing This Out. If there is any problem, contact me</div>


Finally to explain some of the things above
$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']; === It displays the name of the  page you are browsing. For example if the you are on www.example.com/page1.php, it will show /page1.php as the name of the current page.
Sometimes you might  have a sub-folder ex www.example.com/folder/page1.php, it will show /folder/page1.php as the current page.

You can modify the css i.e you can make it external or internal.

If you have any question, don't hesitate to ask. Happy Coding!!!!

Shokoloko:
it is fake. my korean inlaw said they were forced to cry like that for the media. its a law
Are you leaving in North Korea. How did you get in contact with your Korean husband? I swear Nigerians are everywhere grin grin grin
Foreign AffairsRe: Crying Feast: Can Nigerians Mourn Their Leaders Like The Koreans? (video) by deco2come: 11:30am On Dec 20, 2011
The whole Nigeria, I think the answer is "No" but as for the ethnic group where the president come from, I guess some might mourn for him. @Post, you have to understand that ethnicity plays a great role in whatever Nigeria is doing today. No matter how good a president is in Nigeria, some people will find fault with him because he does not belong to them and this is exactly why most people won't cry.

A good example is the death of Ojukwu. Most of the Igbos mourn for him in one way or the other but compare it to other ethnic groups in Nigeria, most don't even think about him twice.
Technology MarketRe: Start Your Web Bulk Sms Business/company Now by deco2come: 6:52am On Dec 20, 2011
nwanakwo:
[size=16pt]TOP SECRET IN BULK SMS BUSINESS[/size]

[size=14pt]Yes its true there is money in this business, but it all depends on so many factors. I will be exposing secrets about this business and how to make it bigger in Bulk sms

A. THE PRICE RULE
1. As a Gold reseller Please don't buy from a company that is selling above N1.00k
2. Dont buy from coy selling above N1.20k for silver and 1.30 for bronze package
If you go against this rule you will never make any meaning full gain, I promise you.

B. THE BULKSMS WEBSITE CREATION RULE
Owning your own bulk can earn you more money but:
1. The creation of an outstanding bulksms website goes for between N15000 and N20,000 never you pay more than this amount
2. Dont creat bulksms website without API SWAP OPTION. If you go against this rules you will only become a slave never having the option to swap to better service providers

I will personally recommend www.gbnsms.com. They are one of the best and outstanding Bulksms Company in Nigeria.

If you have any question concerning Bulksms call anytime I will give perfect guide without charges[/size]
I would like to know more about the business. Let's assume that I don't want to be a reseller for any company, I would like to know how to start my own. Do I have to sign contract with all the networks or are there some organisation responsible for SMS Bulk. I have been searching for the internet and all that came up is resellers trying to sell their products. Besides, you didn't leave your phone number. How can we contact you?
WebmastersHow Efficient Is Sms Marketing? by deco2come(op): 6:19am On Dec 20, 2011
I would like to use SMS marketing to advertise some of my products. Right now I am thinking if it is the right decision to use SMS marketing. The reason is not about getting the gsm numbers but knowing if you get the right numbers. Imagine sending sms to someone old grandpa or something similar to that.

Has anyone else tried it? How efficient was it? Did you see an increase in business after that. Shear your experience please
WebmastersRe: Remove The Spam Bot by deco2come: 8:14pm On Dec 15, 2011
Slyr0x:
This has been said over & over & over & over-again. .buh sadly, there's lil/nothing we the MODs can do about it. . undecided

BTW @Deco, users get banned by the SpamBot and NOT the MODs as we don't have the priv to do so
You might be right but one thing is sure."Spambots follow the rule(s) given to it". For example, if I set the spambot not to allow any person with this username "jacobcasis", or any website with this name "example.com", the spambot will start monitoring such names when anyone make a post.

It is exactly the same way anti-virus program works. It follows the rules given to it by its programmer,it goes through the blacklist of unwanted names each time a program wants to run on your system.

Who do you think that ban the person? Of course it is the person that set the rule(s). The program did its final job
WebmastersRe: Remove The Spam Bot by deco2come: 11:00am On Dec 14, 2011
I got your point brother. I think the spam bot aka moderators are a little bit aggressive. Though I don't find them guilty because they are running their business the best possible way they think is perfect for their business. As you know, every business has rules.

Their case remains me of what happened during the swine flu that originated from Mexico. During those period, China banned all fright from Mexico. The Mexicans that wants to enter China will go through Japan and then book another fright from Japan to China. Then you will start asking yourself the essence of China banning fright from Mexico since they can still enter the country.

The same is happening on nairaland where the spam bot/human will ban a user and within open within 15 seconds you will see the user with a new account. Did Seun and the Moderators stop the user? The Answer is "No".

But if Seun remove the banning, a lot of folks will abuse the privilege. The banning has its advantages and disadvantages. One disadvantage of it is that it force users to create multiple accounts.

I think the best way to tackle this is instead of banning users, the moderators should delete the post(s) they find offensive.

BusinessRe: Business suggestions needed by deco2come: 2:41pm On Dec 12, 2011
There are many different ways you can start business. One that works well is through the Earning Program in my signature. Users use as little as 100naira to earn 2000naira at a go. To prove to you that it works, check out their comments. But if that doesn't help, here is the trick, purchase about 50-100 pieces of their card and participate in their weekly program. You will be surprise at the amount you earn next Sunday.

WebmastersRe: Vanguard Finally Tops Nigeria Local & Global Traffic Rank by deco2come: 12:57pm On Dec 12, 2011
Seun:
Why don't you guys start your own forums and implement these ideas? If they work for you, I'll copy.
Wow Wow Wow, I really like your response.

My fellow brothers and sisters, I think Seun is right. Most of the big companies implemented what they think others are not doing correctly and work on it. Take a look at Google, Facebook, Apple, etc. Another person you might consider is Markus Frind the found of plentyoffish. He made  $901,733.85 within two months through Adsense. He implemented some of the things other dating sites are not doing correctly and work on it. Before you know it, he is the top dating site in Canada and most countries in the world. The funny thing is he maintain such website alone until recently.

Now do your homework, write down what you think Seun isn't doing correctly, then go ahead and do it. Wish you guys the best




[color=Black]Anyway Seun, I would like to used the medium to beg you to unbanned this user "chrisvicch" He has been banned since Nigeria won their independent. Please my brother, pity the poor fellow and give him the privilege to post and reply to posts just like other users. He has learned his lessons the hard way. Thank you.[/color]
WebmastersRe: How I Make $1000 Per Day On Paydotcom by deco2come: 9:46am On Dec 11, 2011
Come to think of it, you earn 1000dollars a day which is more than 150k a day, and in a month you will have more than 3.5m. Now you are requesting 7500naira.

I want you to judge it yourself, how can a person making more than 150k a day requesting for 7500naira for to give information that is worth 20x the amount they earn.

My guy let's be real for once

1. 100% yes cpanel is just a graphical panel.
2. never give any user the privilege of DELETE or else one day you will see that all your database is gone,

i think i have provided your answer
Can you elaborate how it can be done please? Which url can such a person use to access your database
WebmastersI Need An Answer Please by deco2come(op): 1:39pm On Dec 06, 2011
Please can someone answer the two question for me.

1.) Is it possible for someone to log into your database without using cpanel/phpmyadmin.
2.) My second question is, when creating a new database and a new database user, is it good to give the user a complete priviledge. I came across a book that recommend not giving database user a complete priviledge. That you can only give the user SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE, AND INSERT priviledge.
WebmastersRe: Means Of Payment by deco2come: 1:29am On Dec 02, 2011
Tell me the website you want to use their service and I will pay on your behalf. But before making the payment, there is somethings I would like to understand.

1.) Your location(i.e where you live in Nigeria)
2.) If the service is one time service. I am afraid that if it is a recurring service, the company might be removing move from my card each time.

Hope I can help you
TravelRe: Nigeria Immigration Deports 25 Chinese With Irregular Residential Permits by deco2come: 11:43am On Dec 01, 2011
Ikwikwikwi:
they should be rounded up on regular bases and thoroughly profiled. My experience in the hands of Chinese officials last month in Shanghai was terrible. I have a valid visa, and have been to China over twenty times, on business trips, and my last trip was just for three days. I was turned upside down, even with proof of genuine business links in  their land. Our boarder control officials should do more in profiling them, most of them are here without proper documents, and they drive freely without papers. Go and drive in China as a black man, and see what happens. I drove my Chinese friend's car once and their police almost shot me for the reason, how did I get a car in China, even when my friend that own the car was riding with me.
Haha, can you tell us exactly how it happened? How the whole thing started. Started from how they stop you. Shed more light to your brothers bro
ComputersRe: Your Thoughts On Software Piracy. by deco2come: 10:18am On Dec 01, 2011
sunnyhova:
First of all, what is piracy? It means "to reproduce copyrighted material without permission". In other words, its stealing. This is SIN. Since I gave my life to Christ I have stopped downloading pirated software cause I had strong convictions about such activity.
The issue of piracy is hardly to avoid. It does not only happen with softwares but movies, musics, cars, etc. Let's take microsoft products for example, many people using microsoft products like microsoft office think that it is free. Apart from that, even the operating system might be running on fake windows. Ok, let's talk about movies, if all Nigeria buy original nollywood movies, believe me the actors will be among the top richest people in Nigeria. There are some softwares that cost 2500dollars to 5000dollars. I wonder how many people are willing to buy it if they can get it somewhere at less than 2dollars. You get my point. This is what I believe, if a user can get a software somewhere for free, or at a lower price, I am not against him but I will encourage him to pay back in full when he has the money.
PoliticsRe: Can Nigeria Become A Developed Country? by deco2come: 5:04pm On Nov 22, 2011


@Poster

In my own opinion, no country is consider developed or developing. Technology change with time just like any other thing else. For example, check the meaning of Uranium as of 1890-1930, the dictionary defined it as a substance that amount to small or no value. But check the meaning again today, you will get my point.

Around 1600, China was the richest country in the world. I am sure that if you ask any of their professor as of the time, they will tell you that their country(China) is the most developed country in the world.

The same applys to Egypt when they where the world power and the most richest. I believe the same applies to Roman and other great countries of the  past.

Regarding Nigeria being developed, if we have to judge with the situation of today I will say that we still have a long we to go.


As things change, countries might not be consider developed anymore.
WebmastersHow Effective Is Email Marketing And Sms Marketing? by deco2come(op): 4:19pm On Nov 21, 2011
I have been arguing with a friend that Email Marketing and SMS marketing don't worth the expenses and time. My reasons are

Emailing people about your product is consider spasming to most folks. Some of the email even end up in the user's spasm box while some of the email got deleted without the user even consider reading it.

Regarding Sms marketing, it is very easy to generate millions of phone numbers but how do you know that some of the numbers are still in use. Some of the users don't even have a phone that can access internet. There are others that don't even know much about internet and what do you think he/she will do to the message if it arrive at his/her phone. Of course the message will be deleted.

Do you think email marketing and sms worth the time and money invested in it. If yes, shear your experience and how it affected your clients/yours business.
Christianity EtcRe: Is Betting Bad For A Christian? by deco2come: 3:01pm On Nov 20, 2011
HISchild:
friend,

at least two underlying principles of betting / gambling being unbiblical, and thus contrary to GOD and HIS holy word, are that (1). It requires putting one's trust in something else (teams' performance, another person, luck, etc),  other than in GOD, where it ought to be as a Christian / child of GOD. Legitimate work that is GOD given is a blessing, but gambling is another.  "But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day." - Deut 8:18

(2). When it (gambling) becomes addictive, and it can, and it does - it then truly becomes one's god, and essentially an idol in which one really trusts, and loves, implicitly and explicitly.  "And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment." - Mark 12:30

If one's objective is to earn a little extra money to pay bills, then pray for wisdom, and perhaps take a second job or additional honest work to supplement your income.  If the objective is to be rich, then it is error. - "But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.  And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." - 1 Tim 6:6-10
--------
"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding." - Prov 3:5 

"It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man." - Psa 118:8 

"Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD." - Jer 17:5
[b]Are you trying to say that when I say to a friend "Nelson I trust in you. I believe you can do it", that I committed a sin because I trust in Nelson. God have mercy with the kind of quotation you guys display.

As for your number 2 quotation, I still don't know what you mean. A person that loves football and wants to become a footballer, commits most of his/her time in training. He/she love it with passion. Does he sin against God because he love playing football?

You said we brought nothing in this world, that quotation has caused a lot of christians to be as lazy as they come.

Please be careful of what you quote because it might render some guys useless.

Anyway poster, this is how I see betting.

It is a kind of business where you put a little and expect more gain. Why do I call it a business? You invest your money in it and hope to make a profit return by the outcome of the result.

Any business in life is betting. I will prove it to you.

Let's take sports for example. In the game of football, someone bought the team, paid the coach and the players and can only earn from the result and success of his club. Since he does not know the outcome/future of the club, he is betting on it.

Second example, a Nigerian man imports goods from China, pays for it and waits and pray for good outcome. Since he does not know whether the business will be successful or not, he is betting on it.

And the list goes on.

Ask yourself this question, if the club owner and the business man know that they will lose, they won't even try to engage in such business. While did they engage in the business? Of course to make profit

Betting becomes a sin when you neglect all your obligations as a person and starts committing crime because you are too eager to win. The same rule apply to other business.

WebmastersRe: I Need Help On Running An It Firm by deco2come: 9:48am On Nov 20, 2011
Nextworldnx:
Hi guys,
i have been wanting to open and run an IT firm for a long time now,but dont know how to go about it. I am into networking, but want to open a fully functional IT company, which includes; Software development, Programming, Autocad design, Graphic design, System Engineering and co. My problem is,i dont do any of these directly,so i dont know how much is:
1. Cost of setting up, and
2. Estimate of output (profitability).
I am thereby asking you wonderful and talented guys in the house to help me out. I have always believed in practicalising what you have learnt,that is why i want to start-up this firm,i cant do much myself, but i believe that there are Guys out there who can do it,they only need the enabling environment, for them to excel(who says we cant have our own Steve jobs here). It is these set of Guys that i intend to work with. Plese house, help me out. Your response is highly valued. THANKS
Since you are into networking, I would recommended that you start with networking company. You can later incorporate other computer field of your choices. But if you must start everything now, then watch out the people you are employing. Like someone already mentioned, most of them have skills but lack the character.

When employing, do not focus only on their skills but also their characters. Your instincts will tell you that. If you don't know anything on software programming, auto cad, etc, I am afraid to say you have a hard nut to crack.

It is just like you are into real estate business but you don't know a thing about it, then you employ someone that knows much about it, it is highly likely that the person will screw you.

In my opinion, the best way to tackle this issue is go into partnership with someone that is familiar with programming,autocad. While you handle the networking aspecting, the person will focus on the programming aspect.

The second option you have is to sponsor some guys that knows much about the stuffs but lack the capital to start. You can work with them.

Remember that people like Bill Gate, Steve Job, Mark(facebook), Google guys, Yahoo guy, and others know started by themselves and as they got bigger, they started employing guys.

Finally take your time to study the life of Henry Ford and how how managed to control talented men despite lacking most of the talent that those men have.

Take your time my guy. Don't forget to get your own registered company. I wish you the best of luck

I wonder why this practice is not the norm. Besides it not very expensive to acquire models and prototypes.

I still wonder how an engineer can construct a road without making a provision people with bike, bicycle, and also pedestrians. To make the matter worst, most roads only contain one lain. How can in this stage of time, an engineer will have the face to call him or herself an engineer.

Sometimes you wonder why there is a lot of accidents.
PoliticsRe: FG Ties Contract Payment To Performance by deco2come: 4:41pm On Nov 10, 2011
That is a good policy is they carry it out.

It would also be nice if they will show us what kind of road, house, or other project they plan to build before the contract is given to them. In most of the develop countries, before any construction firm start any project for example, road, bridge, market, etc, they have a complete design in form of 3D, or any graphical design. Citizens will have the chance of seeing what the project would look like when the project has been completed.

Mr President, ask all of them to carry out the same procedure so that we will know when they are cheating us. Beside, it will help people in graphic and design industry
