Drupal Behaviors and jQuery plugins
Okay, you Drupal devel experts: I need some assistance here. Disclaimer: I have rarely touched the code in Drupal (except to create new themes and insert PHP) and I don't understand a whole lot about the backend of Drupal. What I need to do is fairly simple. Once someone can explain it clearly enough to me, it'll be a breeze, but I can't find documentation that's complete enough for me anywhere. I'm just trying to figure out how to use the "Drupal.behaviors.myBehavior" to call a jquery plugin. Please see my post at the bottom of this thread. I'm seriously at my wits end trying to nail this down. I just can't seem to figure it out. |

sudoers & mount
Ok, so I can grant su access to a user/grp for the command /bin/mount and /bin/umount. I'd like to do this, but I don't want to give everyone access to everything in /etc/fstab. Is there a way to set up a user to have access to mount & umount just for certain predefined mnt points? |

Skype + Game = No Audio in Game
The year is 2009 (almost 2010) and Linux still appears to have the "device already in use" problem it's had since day one. Specifically with respect to audio devices. If I launch my game (COH under Crossover) the audio works perfect. If I launch Skype alone - the audio works perfect. But if I launch Skype and start a conversation, and then launch my game, I get NO SOUND in my game. And If I launch the game first and the Skype, I get no sound from Skype. I've tried to open the System > Preferences > Sound and try different mixers but nothing seems to work... any help? Update: I think I found the problem: "There is no sound in my application running in Crossover. Ubuntu 8.04 uses the PulseAudio backend, which isn't entirely compatible with Wine yet, and sometimes doesn't like Crossover. If you switch the OS back to using ALSA you should have audio restored to your Crossover apps. " [source: Codeweavers support wiki ] Update 2: How to switch back to ALSAhttp://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-820305.htmlUpdate 3: Skype faqI also found this helpful-> http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=10858Update 4: Skype version 2.0I found this old download link for Skype version 2.0 for Debian (should work for Ubuntu) which was the last version they released that used ALSA before switching to PulseAudio. http://download.skype.com/linux/skype-debian_2.0.0.72-1_i386.debHopefully that will fix my problem. |

I make really, REALLY simple websites...
A lot of the posts I have perused in this community are VERY advanced compared to my skills. I have limited knowledge on how to build websites, but I like to think they are mostly functional for what I build them for. I am a roleplay geek, and make websites for an online MUD I play, so a small, free website is all I really need for guilds and stuff, and well...I've come across a problem. No one else that I know in the game or elsewhere has been able to help me, so I figured since it is such a simple problem (a matter of html and some css), maybe someone here could tell me where I went wrong. The website link is: http://theassemblyofjudges.webs.comMy problem? When I click on the image map in firefox, it works and the text shows up just fine in the iframe. When someone tries to access it in IE, they click the links on the image map and it says it is loading, but the text never shows up. I am completely baffled, and any help would be greatly appreciated! Current Mood:  frustratedCurrent Music: Celldweller - Louder Than Words |

A Question on Domains...
This is more of a question concerning the actual domain registering process versus website development itself, but I assume most of the people in this community are somewhat familiar with getting a domain for a client or themselves so I thought I would ask here. I am not new to purchasing and transferring domains; I have around a dozen at the moment. While the majority of my domains are the common .com, .org, or .net endings, I have a few others that are not so common. Though they seemed like good ideas at the time, my purchases have really come back to bite me. In the past 2 years, I have registered four .nu domain names (via GoDaddy and NameCheap), and one .us domain name (via NameCheap). When I registered these domains, I had every intention of actually putting them to use. Two of the .nu domains were for very "niche" websites, and the .us name was going to be for freelance work. Unfortunately, I got hit with two heart surgeries and a minor stroke in 2008, and now am possibly facing surgery and/or radiation. Thus, I had to completely drop my ambitions for the two .nu sites and the .us site early this year. So I was stuck with two .nu domains and a .us domain that I had no use for. The .us domain was not a "big" purchase at $8.88 from NameCheap. However, each .nu was substantially more. I bought one via NameCheap at around $59 ($28.88 x 2 years), and the other three at about $45 (two year registrations for each) using GoDaddy coupon codes. I know people sell their domains via marketplace or auction, and luckily I was able to sell the NameCheap .nu to a friend even though it was for a great loss. The GoDaddy .nu names, though, are a totally different situation. Apparently, you cannot transfer .nu domains between any registrar (except to the official .nu register at NuNames). Another big problem is that WhoisGuard protection cannot be applied to any .nu domain name. The third issue is that GoDaddy charges a separate subscription fee to use their online marketplace/auctions for domains. I have one, maybe three maximum, names to sell; I don't really want to pay a year's worth of subscription fees for something I am only going to use in maybe only a month. As you can see, I am in a confusing situation with all of my .nu domains. I am using two of the domains actively because the sites were established a long time ago. The other .nu is currently sitting as a redirect to another domain. However, all of them have my personal information listed publicly on their WHOIS lookups. One of the .nu domains expires in May 2010; the others do not expire until late 2011. I don't really know what on earth to do with these names. Obviously I would prefer to sell them in some way, but it would probably be more costly in the long run with GoDaddy auction subscriptions. I originally would have redirected them to other domains, but the WHOIS information is a concern because it's still out there. Am I stuck with these domains until they expire? Is there no other way to protect my personal information until the domains run out? Sorry for the extremely long post! Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Previous entry button!
Hello! I have a question. My friends page on my layout does not have a button where I can push "previous entries." So I can only see the most recent page of friends entries. This also occurs on my own personal journal. Please help, let me know if there is anything I can add to my custom CSS or anything. Thanks. |

Open to Document?
Hello, I'm working on a final project for a history course and it requires me to upload information onto a blog at Word Press. I created a survey and in the survey I had 100 responses, and I want to put these responses into a text or Word document, and then somehow get it uploaded and link to it off the Word Press blog because the blog is too thin and cluttered to throw all this information into a blog post: What I want it to look like: So on Word Press you would see a link "Survey Results" and when you click it it will open a text file or Word document, and NOT another page off Word Press. So my question is, how do I link to a text document? And also, does anywhere know where I could upload and host this document to link back to? |

Tomcat SSL
I'm setting up a standalone instance of Tomcat - after importing my SSL certificate into the keystore, and restarting Tomcat -- how do users access the secure pages? (I'm waiting on the cert to be sent from verisign.. so I can't test right now) Will secure pages be accessed by entering httpS:// as with the web server? Or will they have to enter http://blah.com:8443 ? If the latter, is it possible to redirect that traffic to a friendlier URL? (ie, https://blah.com) |

But I'm just trying to do a dump of a Drupal database into the MySQL database on a new server, and I keep getting the following error in shell: ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 26: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '"access" ( "aid" int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, "mask" varchar(255) NOT NU' at line 1 Here's the corresponding text in the dump: -- ---------------------------------------- ---------------- -- -- Table structure for table `access` -- CREATE TABLE "access" ( "aid" int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, "mask" varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', "type" varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', "status" tinyint(4) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', PRIMARY KEY ("aid") ) AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ; -- -- Dumping data for table `access` -- -- ---------------------------------------- ---------------- I exported this from a MySQL 5.1.37 database The server's database is MySQL 5.0.81 Any ideas? |

htaccess help
Hi, I am playing with some htaccess voodoo, and would like some help I am converting a static html site on to a symfony CMS. Almost everything is working fine, except for one issue. The site had some redundant pages that had been remade over the years, so now I want the old page names to link to the new version. for example: there was a page called thinking.htm which was remade as thinking-big.html and now on the cms it is just thinking-big I have managed to redirect all the *.html pages to * using .htaccess: RedirectMatch 301 ^(/[^/]*)\.html?$ $1 but, when I change it to make the redirect for thinking.htm to thinking-big I tried RedirectMatch 301 ^thinking.* thinking-big RedirectMatch 301 ^(/[^/]*)\.html?$ $1 and a few variations around that, all of which broke the page. AND RedirectMatch 301 thinking\.htm the-magic-of-thinking-big RedirectMatch 301 ^(/[^/]*)\.html?$ $1 just redirected to thinking Any help would be appreciated I will need to make 5 of these pages redirect and below is the rest of the htaccess file doing symfony voodoo <lj-cut> # we skip all files with .something # comment the following 3 lines to allow periods in routes RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \..+$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.html$ RewriteRule .* - [L] # we check if the .html version is here (caching) RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA] RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f # no, so we redirect to our front web controller RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L] </lj-cut> Thanks Frazer |

Examples of Campaigns
Hi guys, After my job interview, I was asked to create a Campaign: 2 Banners 728x90 & 300x250 (no more than 25k), landing page, & email newsletter. Are there are any good websites where I can find examples of campaigns like that. Campaign Details: Holiday Photo Contest. "Company" is giving away $1000 for the best holiday photo on our website. People would upload their photo to us and then users can vote on the best. Because this is a fake contest, feel free to make anything up that you would need to complete this (rules, graphics, ect..).

how do you present your web/interactive design portfolio?
I got an interview for a paid internship at a web development place I've had my eye on for a while (yay!! :) - but just realised I don't have a proper "portfolio" of my work. I'm coming from a graphic design background, and while I do have a traditional printed graphic design portfolio... I'm a little lost on how to make one for web design. I don't have a website (yet) for my work, and have been storing a few things over on Coroflot but I need a way to show my Flash and AfterEffects work as well. What have you done to display your work? There's a digital portfolio class but I have it next semester. I'm thinking of doing some kind of interactive disc but am worried I won't do it right or.. So what's the standard for this? Does anyone have any examples you can show me or ideas on what I can do? I'd like to have something physical to bring with me. It's in about a week and I'll have some time to work on it before then. Thanks for your help! |

Notification System
**FINAL EDIT Thu Dec 10 02:15:47 UTC 2009** So there is the final update... Over the past day we have processed around 11 million jobs out of the 12 million that were in queue at that time. Please bear in mind that over this past day, more jobs for notifications are also created. So while the queue has been dropping, we are still not fully caught up at this point, due to backlog and new jobs. We have roughly 3 million jobs still pending that involve the notification system in some manner. We had hoped we could have fully cleared the queue in a day, but unfortunately we can't clear it too quickly, since we need the rest of the site to operate normally. From our current perspective on the amount of jobs that are left in queue, and how many it has processed thus far, we believe it will take around another 8 - 12 hours to process everything. And finally some answers to some questions: ( Read More and Get Some Answers... ) Current Mood: grumpy |
