Nice one there Seun. I love it instantly. It is user friendly and fast.  Any chance of a search engine to help in searching for an advert posted in the wrong category?

I seconded!

Yo pal, GO FOR IT!

I will do the same thing not only Facebook application, i will work on video social network website with more features for my people who are deaf---without incorporating to Youtube/Google Video API installation. The video blog site lacks of those features plus it is a must have Youtube/Google video API requirement.

For example, one deaf vlogger (short word for video blogger) sign up with Youtube account on video blog site, suddenly if someone flags on Youtube site pointing that deaf vlogger is something bad in which the Youtube blocked that is also affected on deaf video blog site. Deaf vlogger is stuck not able to access to deaf video blog site because it is under YouTube account.

I have seen one-year old deaf video blog site with YouTube account where many deaf vloggers  are not happy with it---lot of complains, criticisms, or quit/leave site. It loses lot of enrollments, that is bad!!!

I found beta video blog/website software application without incorporating YouTube/Google Video API is being working on newer version adding video responses/comments and many add-on features coming soon----that is what i need for my people who are deaf.

Anyway, go for it and good luck!

@poster

Right now i got stuck with Flash-based (AS3) PHP/text file mini-Forum/Message board application that has failed loading Message thread content after hitting a button "create a post". It does not work, even though the owner's forum/tutorial is not helping to solve this error. Because the owner recently changed from Flash AS1 into reworked Flash AS3 mini-Forum/Message board application. No one has succeeded installing AS3 Flash-PHP-text mini-Forum/Message board so far.

The readme.txt says it can be switched from text file to MySQL file or Flash remoting file.

Until I saw your scripting on AJAX chat thread here on NL last week, it seems that is possible to switch from text file to Fjax file using Flash mini-Forum/Message board application. I don't know! Let me try that myself.

Thank you for caught my attention having great desire to learn more about your scripting: AJAX chat.

Last week, I had been researched about FJAX that is for Flash application using AJAX to load any content dynamically like AJAX chat possible.

Right now i already downloaded both FJAX SDK and your script: AJAX chat to see if it works on my Flash application.

I will let you know my outcome of new Fjax application. Cross my finger!!!

@pholusho

You are more than welcome and wish you the best luck to work on php and MySQL using Dreamweaver 8.

@ uspry1

how does 1 put  AS3 and PHP in the same head,  don't want to find out, lol

I'm for the graphics

@micha3l

I mostly build a Flash website that employs actions/behaviors resulting in PHP, XML, Javascript and Flash Actionscript on the fly.

Mentioned above picture of building my Flash slideshow AD banner is a XML-BASED data parsing the 37 text descriptions and images displaying on the empty movie clip that contains a Loader component and dynamic textfield to parse XML data using Flash actionscript (actions, F9) into the movie clip on the Flash stage in the first frame.

My existing website I created is a FLASH-BASED INTERACTIVITY with both XML and PHP parsing for portfolio section (XML data) and contact us section (PHP email form data).

Now i work on Flash mini-shopping cart with PayPal integration is also AMFPHP remoting parsing to load the following:

[list]
[li]storeItem class[/li]
[li]shoppingCartItem class[/li]
[li]storeCart class[/li]
[li]user login component[/li]
[li]external PHP files as well as javascript, CSS, and XML files[/li]
[/list]

I am for web development(to incorporate PHP, XML, MySQL, Flash Actionscript, Javascript, and HTML into website dynamically), graphic design (create page layout, navigation buttons, special font that are not standard Windows font, and logo),  web maintenance and web hosting reselling/domain name registration.

Is anyone in Flash AS3 familiarize with Flash remoting classes to build mini Flash message board/forum? I already have Flash remoting/PHP mini-shopping cart to work on now.

Last weekend, I downloaded an old AS1 Flash remoting/PHP Message Board from my friendsofed book/downloads that i tried to convert into AS2/3, it prompted an error: FILE NOT FOUND, 'NetService.as' and 'DataClass.as'. The Message board folder/file does not have those missing files include.

Keep your mind that this file is discontinued source because of AS1. The author of Message Board is now on the pending of building AS3 Flash remoting Message Board coming soon---NOT INTERESTED IN BUILDING MYSQL/PHP Message Board. I cannot wait that long, i want NOW NOW NOW!!! I ain't purchase commercial AS3 Message board now for my personal reason.

I have no idea what 'NetService.as' and 'DataClass.as' look like. AAAAGGGGRRRRHHH!!!!

Right now i am studying to code Flash remoting mini-shopping cart with the PayPal integration from new book: AS3 Flash & PHP. Once mini-shopping cart is succeeded, then i will try re-designing old AS1 Flash remoting/PHP message board to get the idea how it works in AS3.

I already installed AMFPHP with its own debugging browser on my system. I would appreciate if anyone found the links (other than Adobe.com and amfphp.com) i have been looking for via google search for three days. AAAAGGGRRRHHH!!! Not easy!!!

@yawa

I got it what you mean!

For all web developers:

Personally i usually sit down with someone, who do not know nothing about web page itself, with my illustrated visual storyboard displaying how does the web page work and i professionally answer all questions someone might ask. I was told that i was the best teacher to walk through step by step explaining the detail of how web page or integration work.

I also explain why "page is failed to load" or "specified syntax error" prompted on their hosted sites, all those things i can answer in order to gain client confident with me to rely on.

It is required lot of patience, communication and customer relation service skills you should have in web development business dealing with non-technical clients.

I think this is win-win situation on web development business.

My client, whom i cannot reveal the name here nor where client comes from, told me to complain not able to find any experienced competent PHP/MySQL Nigerian developer to do open-source e-Commerce template installation/modification job that they (developers) are not familiar with. (include the offer paying service rendered fee)

That's how i got this e-Commerce project job that was referred by this NL member the client found so enthused. I found out that the client sought out for help for one year (2007-2008) to resolve e-Commerce issue. I overlooked the past posting. Hmmm!  

I have no idea about unreliable Nigerian designers/developers in which my client does not refer nor not mentioned any names. But complain of lack of experienced e-Commerce developers even cannot resolve the script syntax error problems out there.

I thought there are PLENTIFUL of Nigerian designers/developers out there.

Branding is more than printing and logo designing just like @smartsoft and sojioguns have said it all.

Branding helps to convey the message visually attracting customers to buy product/service immediately as well as company's image or reputation. That is what branding is all about!

In other day when i posted other forum discussion talking about e-commerce site with only mentioned US and UK I named them, then someone freaked out emailing me not to mentioned the name of US/UK in the name of easily identify whose site I talked about. I did not name of the business or link provided, nothing but talk about e-commerce scripting.

I puzzled so i removed "US/UK" off my E-commerce site posting in other forum discussion to respect someone's wish. I wonder why it is so fussy about not name in the states? US/UK are too broad names over 350 million residents both countries.

Generally, there are more than 5 millions sites with over estimated 10 billions PC users globally!

I feel like this person thinks own e-commerce site (one site i mean) that no one else know about it, hey that e-commerce integration i talk about is open-source software/scripting that everyone know about it---NOTHING TO HIDE!!! LOL!!!

Is the way person feel ashamed of open-source e-Commerce site? Tell me!!! Since I can't post anything i like to suggest about free/open-source scripting on specified forum sites. (this person is not a member, just guest visitor in other forum).

I agreed with OmniPotens refer not best way to post entire code for poster.

It will not help the poster understand how the coding work.

By the way there are HUNDRED FREE authentic login system scripts that comes with step by step tutorial break down on google everywhere. PHP, ASP, Flash, #C, Perl/CGI, etc.

On google, there has MD5-hash encrypted login script/tutorials (but left out some missing coding on MD5 secured login script for programmers to resolve themself make it work---won't display whole coding itself) there.

It is everywhere on the search results.

Good luck Poster!

@yawa and OmniPotens

Can you both give me more clarification of what you mean by frustration on web development?

Do you mean DB integration issue? Forum installation/modification issue? Dynamic form creation issue? Web hosting/Domain registration issue? E-commerce/payment gateway integration issue?

Like former NL member who happened to be PHP programmer had been asked us for his review on web portal sites that he used to be show-off his PHP skills here.

Unfortunately NL members threw criticisms so negatively, but I support his PHP-based web portal sites fully 100% clean and functionally plus fastest data retrieval. Because of non-graphical layout on PHP-based web portal sites that ARE IMPORTANT KEYS for PC USERS keep coming back to visit sites over and over and over!

The main problem here NL DO NOT UNDERSTAND about the different types of websites CREATED THAT ARE BASED ON WHAT THE CLIENT WANT, not what the programmer want. Also lack of understanding the web development principles, concepts, usability and accessibility. That's all!

I hope you do know how to set up MySQL connection using Dreamweaver 8 like this link tutorial below:

http://www.nebulex.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6&Itemid=62

Then you create your own dynamic form using Dreamweaver recordset to upload pictures into MySQL database for STORING or RETRIEVING purpose. You will need Dreamweaver extension (component) called PHP Upload from Adobe.com or below link from DMXzone.com:

http://www.dmxzone.com/showDetail.asp?TypeId=25&NewsId=6346

Basically you should know how to use PHP, MySQL and Dreamweaver recordset to make Picture upload work. There are few Dreamweaver database with upload picture tutorials found on books as well as Adobe.com.

Good luck!

uspry1:

I use Flash CS3 built-in slideshow to build a Flash slideshow banner AD for my client's forum site  dynamically. It loads external files with preloader: FLV, mp3, and pictures displaying on Flash slideshow banner AD.(39 files running with play-pause button inside .swf file)

Then it converted from .swf to .mpeg for youtube video per client request.  It works! My client is happy. My client does not want this Flash slideshow banner Ad link displaying on NL fashion section as i respected my client's wish.

I will add another my hosting subdomain (demo.mydomain.com) to display demo Flash Slideshow banner AD i created separately from my client's existing site coming soon.

I changed my mind to add my hosted subdomain to display Flash Slideshow banner AD. Here is my snapshot with crossed out my client's company name. This is Flash slideshow from Flash CS3 XML-based template I choose to modify client's preferred color and images to be coded in XML file to point out all images for loading. Also change in Flash Actionscript on action (F9) to make corrected xmlURL point to.

After done my created Flash slideshow banner AD, it converted into .wmv or .mpeg for youtube video the client can upload there to display video advertisement. Someday in the near future youtube video will accept .FLV to be uploaded without any problem.

Right now youtube video uploader on youtube site itself is AUTOMATICALLY CONVERTED to .FLV, it will lose picture and audio quality if someone upload .FLV file to youtube video site.

I support agreeing with @shawonlese, @cvibe and @Dual Core refer displaying your demo at your own hosting server, not client's hosting server with the login system for client to access to be viewed your demo there.

I rest my case!

This issue "web designer vs graphic designer" as @hanen mentioned about probably Nigerian thing.

For me, not only Nigerian thing, it does happen in the US and UK for the same argument "web designer vs graphic designer" for years and years since i took Visual Communications bachelor degree distance school---where professor teach us in online classroom for the same thing about this debate.

This is not new to me! It is everywhere in the Information age around the world.

I rest my case!

I myself am web developer/graphic designer. Both!

Why? Because for graphic designer, I do design page layout as well as logo, banner, navigation buttons, special fonts (not standard Windows fonts), text effect, etc. for website.

For web developer, i incorporate those customized graphic layout to be employed actions/behaviors resulting in PHP, Flash Actionscript, XML, Javascript, CSS, HTML on the fly website as functionally.

Some ASP and some Perl/CGI that I do not code them myself but I received those ASP/Perl files by ASP/Perl programmers that can incorporate into either HTML page or Flash website as external files.

At your PHPMyAdmin screenshot at below should be look like this below:

[img width=600 height=290]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/96/PhpMyAdmin_screenshot.png[/img]

Based on what I read your mentioned PHP code you wrote above, I copy all fields of person here.

You should able to create a new database at the empty field box of "Create new database", or click the existing database name: kvmngcom_kiddiesvision on the left side column that will prompt opening your specified database name mentioned here.

Here is scripting for creating and inserting person data if you find incorrect database creation set-up, click "SQL" icon that will prompt a SQL query window popping up, you can delete the dialog textfield box saying "SELECT * FROM person where 1" to replace the following SQL code below (just copy and paste whole thing exact carefully) into the empty SQL query box.

DROP DATABASE kvmngcom_kiddiesvision;
CREATE DATABASE kvmngcom_kiddiesvision;
use kvmngcom_kiddiesvision

CREATE TABLE person (

);

INSERT INTO person VALUES (NULL, 'Charliebiz','Othernames', '01/01/1980', 'M', '123 Permanent Addr Street Lagos Nigeria', '321 Contact Address Victoria Island Nigeria', 'Osgun', 'Local Govt Area', 'My Hometown', 'My Parent names', 'My Parent home address', 'Single', 'African', '1234567890', '12345', 'My Foreign Permit', '231-000-0000', 'My mother maiden name', 'AOB0123987-12', 'My Account Name', '1997', 'Fictional Company Name', 'My company address', 'Database Developer', 'My Guarantor Name', 'My Guarantor Address');

Then hit "GO".

You should have gotten your SQL query executed successfully creating and inserting your new Database Name: kvmngcom_kiddiesvision and your new Database table: person appears on the PHPMyAdmin window ---NO ERROR prompted.

By the way you may edit/modify your fields of person i might left out, no problem.

That's it! Good luck!

@frank_ike

Yes both Norton antivirus subscription and McAfee antivirus subscription are yearly renewal fee upon the one-year expiration every years.

Also for newer computer/laptop you buy for the first time with Windows Vista that comes with pre-installed 30-days trail period on Norton antivirus software, once the 30-days trail period expired, it will prompt you asking for a yearly subscription renewal fee to be downloaded the latest virus patch automatically.

If you choose to reject the subscription request, then your antivirus software is locked or blocked with prompted error message appears.

Good news, you don't have to pay for yearly commercial antivirus software such as Norton or McAfee, you can obtain FREE antivirus software by going to either download.com or filehippo.com to type up on the blank search box field without a quotation, "anti-virus". It will prompt getting the search result of all listings of both free edition and commercial anti-virus software that are HOTCAKE (popular).

PAY ATTENTION to choose freeware/free edition for home pc users only, ignore commercial ones that usually paid yearly renewal subscription you don't want that.

Good luck!

oraclefemi:

Please nairalanders i have been having problems with my ACER(WINDOWS VISTA) i can't access the disk drive and even my flash drive on it anymore, it put a red circle on it and i can't play anything on my drive neither can i access my flash drive on it . It has a red circle like a stop sign on both DVD DRIVE AND MY FLASH, PLEASE WHAT CAN I DO ? I HAVE AN URGENT PROJECT THAT I NEED TO DO please HELP ME !!!

@oraclefemi

I think you need go Acer site obtaining the following drivers that are missing on your computer/laptop, where it prompted a error:red circle, you need to download at below (be sure to select which OS during driver download phrase---Windows Vista specified):

[list]
[li]USB port driver[/li]
[li]DVD/CD driver[/li]
[/list]

Be sure you have update your Windows update with Service Package 3 (SP3) or latest version from windowsupdate.microsoft.com or use your start button you see the icon "Windows Upgrade" as following instruction below:

To use this site, you must be running Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 or later.

To upgrade to the latest version of the browser, go to the Internet Explorer Downloads website.

If you prefer to use a different web browser, you can obtain updates from the Microsoft Download Center or you can stay up to date with the latest critical and security updates by using Automatic Updates. To turn on Automatic Updates:

1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2. Depending on which Control Panel view you use, Classic or Category, do one of the following:
* Click System, and then click the Automatic Updates tab.
* Click Performance and Maintenance, click System, and then click the Automatic Updates tab.
3. Click the option that you want. Make sure Automatic Updates is not turned off.

I seconded your favor in agreement with being separated the sections of Graphic design and Video Production as child boards.

Hard for me to look for mixed up the combination of graphic design and video production in one board together.

@micha3l

Yep, friendsofed books is one of my favorite collections on my office bookshelf.

Let's some fun flashing here!

@demmy000

I see that you are new member, welcome to Nairaland!

I am glad you like it!

@michal3l

I also am member of Adobe Exchange obtaining free/commercial Flash/Dreamweaver/Photoshop/Firework components to be add-on to my CS3 suite since 2000.

Remember Adobe took over formerly Macromedia at that time, my membership was not affected during their merge transition phrase. I was there seeing everything changed dramatically.

@michal3l

I don't buy commercial Flash components as well as commercial pre-made Flash files that are created by someone else (Flash developers to sell) for me to create dynamic flash sites. Why should i wasted obtaining my Visual Communications bachelor degree I learned lot about Flash actionscripting, other web programmings including graphic design, color theory, design principles, etc for?

I rather use free pre-made/giveway raw Flash files from my registered membership of Flash-kit.com, actionscripts.org, flzone.com, and many other flash actionscript sites based on the advanced/professional Flash application developments books/e-books/online subscriptions I bought during schooling time in order to obtain my bachelor degree for US job requirements.

Do you know that your Flash CS3 has several built-in pre-made templates that is ready to use? Like AS3 slideshow template i used for my client when i cannot afford to buy PowerPoint-FLV converter or vice versa in order to upload their website or youtube video.

Go Google.com finding that there are so many free Flash actionscripting tutorials and giveaways that allow you to modify at your own for FREE from those Flash developers gave away useless Flash files.

Also clients who hired me for actionscripting/modification job that they already bought pre-made Flash files such as Flash-XML MP3 player, Flash-XML video player, Flash-XML banner rotator, Flash-XML image slideshow/gallery, etc. where they do not know nothing about how to populate XML, or/and PHP-MySQL code to be modified or added loading images, audio, video files to the pre-made Flash files. Even they did not know about the requirement of use Flash CS3 for modification. That's where I come in.

Also clients do not have Video-FLV converter or encoder software in order to import them to those pre-made Flash-XML video player.

Finally, you are very funny that i get the sleepless nights doing coding! Don't forget that i have 8 years web development experience know how to employ actions/behaviors resulting in Flash actionscript, PHP, XML, and MySQL using my FAVORITE FLASH COMPONENTS to populate external files, no problem. It takes 1-2 days depend on how many images/video/music files client send me via email file attachment or zipped or CD/DVD disc.

I always REUSED those customized Flash files i create for clients all the time. (resize, font/color/layout modification based on what client want---not me).

@hanen

Thank u for point out clearly!

PayPal vs. Google Checkout: countries supported

Archive for May, 2008 || Published on May 31, 2008 in Development.
Source Cite: http://aralbalkan.com/1350
Author: Aral Balkan

Your choice of payment processors ultimately determines the number of people who can potentially purchase your product or service. Looking at the differences between PayPal and Google Checkout, I couldn't find a comparison of the countries each processor supported so I quickly whipped up my own using the data presented in the country list drop-downs that each processor presents on its sign up page.

Summary
PayPal supports substantially more countries than Google Checkout but it doesn't support a complete superset. If you want to reach the largest possible audience, you should implement both payment methods.

Details
Paypal supports 190 countries while Google Checkout supports just 142.

122 of those countries are the same (intersection).

By implementing both checkout methods, you can support a total of 210 countries (union).

These are the 68 countries that PayPal supports that Google Checkout does not (difference):

1. Andorra
2. Anguilla
3. Argentina
4. Aruba
5. Bhutan
6. Brazil
7. Burundi
8. Cayman Islands
9. Chad
10. China Worldwide
11. Comoros
12. Cook Islands
13. Democratic Republic of the Congo
14. Djibouti
15. Dominica
16. Eritrea
17. Ethiopia
18. Falkland Islands
19. Federated States of Micronesia
20. Fiji
21. French Guiana
22. French Polynesia
23. Gambia
24. Grenada
25. Guadeloupe
26. Guinea
27. Guinea Bissau
28. Guyana
29. Kiribati
30. Kyrgyzstan
31. Lesotho
32. Madagascar
33. Malawi
34. Marshall Islands
35. Martinique
36. Mauritania
37. Mayotte
38. Mongolia
39. Montserrat
40. Nauru
41. New Caledonia
42. Niger
43. Niue
44. Norfolk Island
45. Palau
46. Papua New Guinea
47. Pitcairn Islands
48. Republic of the Congo
49. Reunion
50. Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
51. Samoa
52. Sierra Leone
53. Solomon Islands
54. Somalia
55. South Korea
56. St. Helena
57. St. Kitts and Nevis
58. St. Lucia
59. St. Pierre and Miquelon
60. Suriname
61. Svalbard and Jan Mayen Islands
62. Swaziland
63. São Tomé and Príncipe
64. Tonga
65. Turks and Caicos Islands
66. Tuvalu
67. Vanuatu
68. Wallis and Futuna Islands

And here are the 20 countries that[u] Google Checkout supports [/u] that PayPal does not (difference):

1. Bangladesh
2. Belarus
3. British Indian Ocean Territory
4. Cameroon
5. Côte d'Ivoire
6. Equatorial Guinea
7. Georgia
8. Ghana
9. Haiti
10. Lebanon
11. Macedonia
12. Moldova
13. Monaco
14. Nigeria
15. Pakistan
16. Paraguay
17. Puerto Rico
18. Serbia and Montenegro
19. Uzbekistan
20. Zimbabwe

I hope you find this useful. Download the python script (paypal-google.py.zip, 4KB).

@kehers and uspry

It's not. It's only locations are the US and Uk. FYI.

@hanen

You got wrong!  Read next page.

Tell me how did Nigerians got their checks deposited in Nigeria banks from Google Adsense they registered to insert their googleID on their website/blog/forum? Google Adsense do not blacklist Nigerians like PayPal blacklisted.

Website design fee are varied depend on what type of website the client want.

Do you know all types of website to build for? Check out existing thread that already discussed here at below:
