Why not take your time to add all this places here https://achota.com so that people can find it easily and faster via facebook messenger https://m.me/achotaai

That form is too long, I stopped halfway when I was trying add a business. You look at Vconnect aproach.
Then it seems the bot is still in development mode.

I have effected the change. Thank you.

jidez007:
Here is mine.

I have always wanted to automate the way I download TV Series, from navigating through sites crawling with ads to the point of downloading where it could ask you to wait for 5 seconds before you download.

The bot was designed to bypass all that and give the direct download link with their subtitles. It can also recommend tv series based on the IMDB and rotten tomatoes ratings.

This so cool... I know a bunch of friend that will like this.

Won't copyright be an issue with facebook?

Yes, it is still under development, I just sent it to facebook for review today,
Thanks you for taking your time to visit and send feed back, Some of the form fields will be removed. I thought there won't be need for registration now (but this will be added in subsequent version) and will wanted to give our users a precise location and also stop people from adding same business multiple times.
I have taken a look at vconnect, hopefully before the end of today a major upgrade will be done. Thank you very much.

The video of that bot on your timeline is it Telegram or facebook messenger. Can i get a link to it. I like the idea.

I am.
It is called Achota ( [url]m.me/achotaai[/url] [url]facebook.com/achotaai[/url]).
It Searches for Businesses,places, products and services around the location provided by the user.
All business and places must be added here ( https://achota.com ).

Hi finally ported to Ubuntu 16.10 yesterday. Just one problem, my HSPA internet dongle that worked for my formal operating system (windows 7)is not working with Ubuntu.

What modem do you use and how do you set it up. Thanks in advance. I will really appreciate any help i can get.

KvnqPrezo:
thanks
posted the Resource to use github?

Sorry, it took me long to post this, here are some articles and guilds that will help you

[url]https://guides.github.com/ [/url]
http://rogerdudler.github.io/git-guide/
[url] https://akrabat.com/the-beginners-guide-to-contributing-to-a-github-project/ [/url]

the first URL contains all you need to know about github

KvnqPrezo:
I started with htmldog then moved to w3schools am done with html and css just the php and JavaScript including library And database...

thanks but don't know how to use github I have account already...

That good, I will post resources to guild you with git and github. Build your php skills. Send me pm or quote me if you run into any glitch.

It great to see that at your age you keen on learning this technologies.
Yes you can learn all of that in a year, but perfection comes as you practice, you might also want to add "how to work with github to your list".

Personally when i train people I like to stop in the middle and teach them how to collaborate with other developers, so i teach git and github. It is very easy.

http://www.w3schools.com is a good place to start.


Cheers and happy coding.

lordZOUGA:
So, I made this UI this morning.

I decided to use Nairaland's current UI palette.

Thoughts?

Sorry, please is this a prototype or a already made work. Curious. It sure looks good.

LoremIpsum:
You can simply backup ur original index page then create another index page containing only that message you wish to be displayed to visitors. Replace the original index page with the new one.

Above is the best way to take it down.

Here is my take. Why take it down when you can grap all your files from cPanel, display a message in your index that "your site is under maintenance and user may experience some lags", while they continue interacting with your site. After editing you upload your new files to the server again.

SIDE NOTE:
taking it down completely may make you lose visitors and personally, it is not really a good idea.

paulGrundy:
Like what answer? Please give examples.

Study the Bible with them, be patient, don't start asking them questions about their doctrines and you will see for yourself.

mojeer678:
The questions to be asked are which gospel are the JW preaching? Who are they winning souls for? The fact that you enter into a volcano to preach error has no advantage to the true gospel of the Blessed Saviour and Redeemer.

and then, your unfortunate phrase: ... commanded his worshippers .... Really?

and these generalised statements without any proof: 'who many Christians like to criticise as not real worshippers of Christ'; 'they keep converting more people to their folds'; 'wondering whether they use charms to talk to people'

Are you a JW? Try and get understandin g before making online statements.

No, they don't use charm their teachings make more sense and seem more closer to the truth. You shouldn't call it error because it doesn't confine to yours.

Everything you know about Christianity, you were told and taught. God is too big to be precieve from one side, the side you feel and connect to doesn't have to be the side others feel and connect.

If a blind man feel an elephant from the ear and describes it as a canopy and another feel from the leg and describes it as tree doesn't mean they are wrong.

I am not a JW. But I can tell you they have more proof and more answers than any other group of Christian have.

Christianity is base on love. Let God do the job of God ( Judge) and humans the job of humans (Love). Happy Sunday.

The app is very helpful just downloaded it. Why didn't this make front page?

I can do the backend side (PHP/MySQL) using php-PDO to communicate with the server which solves your problem of SECURITY(plus an extra validation class) and adds some functionality with javascript. Still, you have to have someone do the front end (UI ->bootstrap).

TK16:
I did all this, still it didn't work. I am going for wamp

good idea, I also had trouble setting up xamp on my windows machine... Let me know if you where able to solve the issue, we be more than glad to help.

It is not ugly,

1. Use a backgroung image that is more brighter
2. Make the home page fit into the screen
3. Do something about the URL, Use a more friendly SEO URL (use this http://thebizness.org/viewforum/37 instead of http://thebizness.org/viewforum.php?f=37&sid=d995e32a2dbef2fe03c602e5218e263b ) You may also want to loose SESSION ID from the URL.
4. The T & C the user see when he/she visit the registeration page is not necessary, all you have to do is put a check box that the use has to check before register than a link to the T & C page. example "By clicking register you agree to the bizness terms and condition."


SIDE NOTE:
google URL Rewriting and a more secure way to pass information from one page to another.

blackweaver:
It should. If you're not sure boot up the livecd and see if your dongle will work - but generally it should

Thank you for your prompt response, will let you know if I run into any glitch. Thanks again.

TK16:
Thanks man....this was same thing I saw after googling. I have stopped Skype from using that port, but still It persists.

Change the port that Apache is running on from 80 to 8000.

1. Go to the C:\xampp\apache\conf (or whichever directory you installed xampp). Now, locate the httpd.conf .


2. Open it with any text editor (notepad or textpad) and go the line that says Listen 80.
Change this with any other port (for example Listen 1234 )


3. Save the file. Restart the server and go ahead.

4. Open your browser and type http://localhost:8000

For more info on this check this out, the first link should do the trick.

blackweaver:
No you don't, unless there's a device that uses proprietary drivers, the ones that come out of the box with Ubuntu will suffice

That simply mean my universal modem or mtn dongle will work after installing Ubuntu?

@op I have a HP pavilion g series that run on windows 7, my question is

1. After installing Ubuntu, do I need to install drivers for USB, WiFi and other feature to work.

onedayatime:
do you have any good books on PHP7?

Not yet...

DanielTheGeek:
Well I won't give a shit about the 5.6% of people that refuse to use my web app if a good number of the remaining 94.34% are using it.
The 5.6% will be forced to change their browser. Imagine if Facebook decided to quit Opera support, a lot of people will migrate to other browsers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers

For startup web app, test on all platform.

2. Facebook is a full blown web app and I have use the website on almost all platform and in different conditions ( bad network, good network, MTN free Facebook browsing, USSD etc) you won't believe the Almighty facebook also support basic layout in case of slow internet or poor browser( Google gmail also did the same) ...

I am just saying it is good practice to test on all platform and conditions.

Do you know Facebook have a lab where they test their service on poor internet connection and GPRS phone.

DanielTheGeek:
Opera Mini on mobile phones is f**king retarded, do not use it to test your projects..i repeat do not use it for testing purposes.

It doesn't have good support for JavaScipt.

If you don't test with opera mini how will you know how your web app is render to users that use that browsers and how do you handle users from that end?

Most user will just review your app as bad if it render bad on that platform and you will definitely have less users or visitors.

So test with almost all platform and look for a work around for issues arising from each platform (browsers).

teampregar:
Wow, nd the problem is that most africans use opera mini browser

You have to look for a better way to handle those browsers, especially when your target are Africans. Most times what I do is to detect the user browser at the server end than redirect or serve accordingly, or somethings i use css to detect user device type and serve basic html to mobile phone, not the best way but it sure does solve the problem.

I wish all browsers are like Google chrome.
