Webmasters / Re: Test Your Javascript Knolwedge. by kazey(m): 5:51pm On Mar 26, 2008
the question is "if what is true?" is it if a variable contains a value? what exactly are we testing for? smiley
Webmasters / Re: Test Your Javascript Knolwedge. by kazey(m): 5:17pm On Mar 26, 2008
i don't know about javascript coding practices, but there is something wrong


var i = 1;
if(1) {
i = 2;
}

isn't it supposed to be
if (condition)

so the proper synthax would be if ( i == 1) and vice versa to arrive at the respective result?

Here there is no condition, so how did you guys arrive at a result? Please don't tell me because you saw the alert after running it on your browser?
Webmasters / Re: Bbc Website Have Definitely Done It This Time by kazey(m): 8:00am On Mar 26, 2008
china was so impressed with the new design and they removed it from their filter block grin . But hec I still prefer the CNN site. The bbc site, is just for the homepage, the inside content still shows the old design.

Nope, with address, all i mean is, even if you use a Nigerian address, they wont approve it without a phone call.
Webmasters / Re: Https by kazey(m): 4:24am On Mar 25, 2008
Yes you have to be because, NIRA calls to verify. Except you have a friend in Nigeria that would be willing to receive the call on your behalf.

Webmasters / Re: Is Windows Frontpage Good For Designing Official Websites. by kazey(m): 9:33am On Mar 24, 2008
Define design and customize and differentiate them. Customization involves designing things too, to meet your custom requirements. In fact its more difficult, that is assuming we agree that I only customize.
Webmasters / Re: Ibs Nigeria - Review Website by kazey(m): 9:13am On Mar 24, 2008
you want people to criticize another designers work? This is a template isn't it? I am sure if i Google for three column wordpress themes, i would come across this.
Webmasters / Re: Is Windows Frontpage Good For Designing Official Websites. by kazey(m): 9:11am On Mar 24, 2008
I am amazed that you guys actually think using WYSIWYG interfaces or not differentiates you from being a pro or not.

Windows Frontpage is good for designing any website, if you know how to use it properly. I have used frontpage before, well 3 years or so ago, and my designs were very good back then when I used frontpage. I simply stopped using any WYSIWYG editors because, I am more comfortable with text editors. I love my Emeditor smiley So use your WYSIWYG editors as you please, if you are good at using them.
Webmasters / Re: Https by kazey(m): 9:03am On Mar 24, 2008
There is nothing so special about SSL.

All you need to do is

1. Visit a vendor that sells SSL Certificate. Nairahost Nigeria sells SSL Certificates in Naira.
2. Create a CSR (Certificate Signing Request) from your hosting panel,
3. Go to the Nairahost Nigeria and Purchase the SSL that best suits your needs. We have RapidSSL, QuickSSL, and Verisign SSL Certificates .
4. Wait for the ssl order activation link from Nairahost Sales Dept.
5. Visit the activation page, and enter the CSR in the form with all the necessary parameters required and follow the instructions that is sent to your email thereafter.
6. This involves coming back to your hosting panel, and just pasting the Certificate you purchased, with the necessary keys.

If you are wondering how do we install on a sub-domain mask, such as https://secure.yourdomain.com, its nothing special. all you need to do is, when you create your CSR (Certificate Signing Request) from your hosting panel, you just create it with the sub-domain mask, that is secure.yourdomain.com, and add a CNAME record to use the sub-domain in your dns record.

Nairahost installs it for their clients for free and you require a dedicated IP to install an SSL Certificate.

Why can't you guys just design your sites from scratch and properly?
Web Market / Re: Running Advert On Yahoo! by kazey(m): 3:12am On Mar 19, 2008
I think the problem is you did not ask them explicitly what you want by providing them the details of your needs.

1. Start by visiting http://solutions.yahoo.com/
Build an advertisement spec

2. Then visit https://public.yahoo.com/leads-cgi/iso_lead_form.pl
Enter your requirement and budget etc.

You need an advertisement account to advertise on yahoo.

But if you are after advertising via Sponsored Search
You might want to check out http://sem.smallbusiness.yahoo.com/searchenginemarketing/onlinemarketing.php

Webmasters / Re: Silly Questions Clients Ask Their Web Host by kazey(m): 3:56pm On Mar 17, 2008
Cactus:

First rule always assume your clients don't know anything about web dev.

A web hosting service provider should assume his clients don't know anything about website development? The same client should be assumed to be aware of his/her need of the web hosting companies services? Misconception, my friend.

Its alright for customers to ask questions related to the services been rendered, or problems with the services been rendered, or anything relative. But it shouldn't be expected of the service provider to educate the customers on website development.

Some questions that you would never ask your mobile phone provider.

1. I have deleted my sms, how do I undelete them.

2. I have bought a sim card, how do I use it without a phone.

3. I would like to know if I can use just my sim card to receive calls without buying a phone, because a phone is expensive.

4. I want to know, how to use my phone, because the manual is too complicated for me to understand or I don't have time to read the manual.


My point is simply, they are service providers, and their support is isolated to the services they provide, and the same applies to web hosting companies. They should provide support to their services and nothing more. Web development, Script debugging etc, should be treated differently.

skunk:

dhtml's search script is good. You can try it.

P.S. I don't know why its hard to find a Nigerian website that doesnt use a table layout. Its outdated and anti-seo for chrissake.

That is a myth. Search engines do not currently, or in the past ever had a problem with tables. Perhaps you are mistaken?
Web Market / Re: Free Domain And Hosting With Nairahost (March 2008) by kazey(m): 10:07am On Mar 01, 2008

This means a lot to us, we are glad that you trust our services, even when they are presented free.

The winners of the February free hosting are:
1. Olubisi Akintunde

Congratulation. You would be contacted personally both via email. We do hope you would enjoy your time with Nairahost Nigeria.

As we all congratulate the winners of this month, we would like to remind others that we still have ten more positions available. As the months unfold, your chance of winning increases.

Webmasters / Re: Adobe Unveils Flex 3.0 And Air 1.0 by kazey(m): 6:14am On Mar 01, 2008
@prodgalson

Why can't you just say this and give me a link to the updated documentation, I love reading, and i cant find the updated documentation that indicates otherwise, it would take time for you to blog about it smiley

prodgalson:

@kazey

Since Flex 2.0, we've eliminated the server side compilation, and enabled developers to create a deployable SWF file from their MXML/AS3 code, similar to the way one would deploy a JPeg or HTML file, as plain content. This removes the burden of server side compilation and runtime dependencies.


And yes this is great news, thanks for the update.
Webmasters / Re: Adobe Unveils Flex 3.0 And Air 1.0 by kazey(m): 11:37pm On Feb 29, 2008
@prodgalson *you are mistaken smiley
Flex is a J2EE web application

Things you require to host flex apps in a shared environment.

1. MySql JDBC driver
2. JRun 4 server

To compile and run MXML and ActionScript files, you need access to a Flex server, instructions available here http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flex/1/install.html

Flex Requirements

Flex requires the following:
One of the following application servers
Macromedia JRun 4 Updater 2
BM WebSphere 5
BEA WebLogic Server 7 and 8.1
Tomcat 4.1.29 and later


One of the following Java versions
Sun 1.3.x
Sun 1.4.x
IBM 1.3 for use with WebSphere
IBM 1.4 for use with WebSphere
BEA JRockit 1.4 for use with Weblogic

Note: Double-byte operating systems require a double-byte version of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE).
Webmasters / Re: Adobe Unveils Flex 3.0 And Air 1.0 by kazey(m): 3:42am On Feb 29, 2008
Nice, by the way Nairahost Nigeria would start hosting flex applications on their windows servers next week.

Web Market / Free Domain And Hosting With Nairahost (March 2008) by kazey(m): 1:04am On Feb 26, 2008
Yes its free absolutely free, except its a lottery !! ROUND 1

Nigerians have been great customers, and hence we have decided to return back the favor, by introducing a Domain and Hosting Lottery. Every month we have decided to give out one free hosting and domain account for a year . This means we are giving out 12 free accounts and 12 free domain names yearly. Considering we did not give out on January, we have two slots for February. This means 2 people from Nigeria would win 1 hosting account and 1 domain name for 1 year.

The 1 free domain can be (.com,.net and .org) and a you also get a 500MB web hosting account !!

You can view winners at the end of each month HERE

You can sign up for a chance to win HERE

Things to know

* The monthly winner is chosen by random using a computer algorithm
* Only one entry per person is allowed
* Multiple entries would lead to termination of service or disqualification upon detection
* The winning hosting package and domain account would be valid for one year
* There is no need to re-enter the contest, as your entry is valid for 12 months
* The domain and web hosting account belongs to you
* You would get full access to the account
* The hosting package and domain registration you win would expire after one year of activation
* You can choose to downgrade the package after the 1 year duration or contract

Business / Re: Strategies For Getting A Relieable Sales Person:any Idea by kazey(m): 7:59pm On Feb 10, 2008
Somethings you could do to help in maximize your employees efficiency and productivity

1. Sales Training.
2. Weekly feedback meeting from employees to employer.
3. Having pay structure based on productivity such as amount of sales per week with a basic.
4. Customer Feedback on all sales to get a free discount on product, this could be done by using a feedback form with a coupon.
5. Potential Employees should have extensive desire to sell before employment. This could be determined through interview on why they would like to work in the shop etc?

Webmasters / Re: Writing A Time Based Expiration Script Or Function Using Php And Mysql by kazey(m): 6:25pm On Feb 07, 2008
I got bored and quickly wrote a simple code to do what you want, modify to suit your needs.

Note: I didn't debug it. So if you have any bug, kindly let me know cheesy

id => user id
sdate => the date the counting should begin
days => number of days to expire
status => Client Account status

<?php 


$resultx = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM client WHERE status='Active'"wink
or die(mysql_error());

$x = 0;
while ($datax = mysql_fetch_array ($resultx))
{
$id = $datax['id'];


$days_to_expire = $datax[days];

//should be in the format of "Ymd"
$sdate = $datax[startdate] ;

//todays date
$todays_date = date('Ymd', mktime (0, 0, 0, date ('m'), date ('d'), date ('Y')));

$timeStamp = strtotime("$sdate"wink;
$timeStamp += 24 * 60 * 60 * $days_to_expire ; // (add expirydate days)
$expiry_date = date("Ymd", $timeStamp);

//select information from client where client is due for expiry
if ($expiry_date == $todays_date){
$query = '' . 'UPDATE client SET status=\'Expired\' WHERE id=\'' . $id . '\'';
$result2 = mysql_query ($query);
}



++$x;
}


$report = '' . $x . ' Number of Account Expired';
?>
