Hey. I've reinvented my site (again), so If you could take a visit, it would be greatly appreciated :). It's just a scripting site, with a couple of scripts. Here's the link:
http://www40.brinkster.com/mburt

Feel free to comment on anything! (especially things that actually need commenting on)

Thanks.

I liked the way the page looked, but there is a couple of problems.
You used an iframe. This causes problems when you turn off CSS. You also don't have a DOCTYPE.On your contact page it said this.


Your IP Address is 192.168.0.244

Which is just plain wrong. You shouldn't be getting the IP address with javascript.

The lack of validation is unpleasant, as is the use of the iframe, but I can understand the latter in your case, with no server-side scripting.

The style is nice -- simplistic but effective (and blue :)) but I hate the buttons.

mburt
08-27-2006, 08:56 PM
Hmm... I was trying to get a good scheme. But, as usual you can't please everyone. I know the problem with the iframe, and the validation but, I like it. I'll always be changing it though.... :)

mburt
08-27-2006, 08:58 PM
Believe me... If I could use server-side scripting, I would. Also, I'm too cheap to pay for a website. (usually free hosting services don't come with php enabled) :)

08-27-2006, 09:53 PM
I actually like the way the site looked. Just not the iframe. On another note, have you checked out Funpic (http://www.funpic.org/). They were my first PHP host actually. I think they might even be better than my current paid host!(I've been meaning to find a new host for a while)

i liked the site except i think you should use a different font on the title. I think it would look a lot better with a better font.

mburt

IllustriousLyts: Could you tell me a good font? (I'm horrible with fonts.... :))

mburt
08-27-2006, 11:05 PM
Also, Twey: I changed the buttons to a dotted border which changes to a solid on mouse over.

Twey
08-27-2006, 11:22 PM
Yes, that's much nicer :)

mburt
08-27-2006, 11:23 PM
The buttons were windows 98-ish LoL :p

08-27-2006, 11:43 PM
Yes, I think so too. Mburt, why don't you add a header(Something like "Mburt's site" in big text above the Iframe(*shudder*) and menu)

mburt
08-27-2006, 11:52 PM
Yeah... I'll get around to it. In fact, tonight I'm redoing the entire site. But, I always keep old sites, in case I don't like the new one.

Well, since you are so gun ho on FF:


from FF javascript console (actually an error console):

Error: Unknown property 'scrollbar-base-color'. Declaration dropped.
Source File: http://mburt.mb.funpic.org/style.css
Line: 64

Error: Unexpected end of file while searching for end of comment.

mburt
09-04-2006, 08:58 PM
Eat my shorts.

mburt
09-04-2006, 09:13 PM
If you looked closely at the code, the second error:

Error: Unexpected end of file while searching for end of comment.
Source File: http://mburt.mb.funpic.org/
Line: 8

Was to keep the ads from appearing.

I fixed the scrollbar-base-color thing.

mburt
09-04-2006, 09:14 PM
The code looking something like this: (which of course is invalid)


<style>*/<body></body>*/</style>

Therefore the ads would read the "body" tag, and put it there, when really it was a comment.

Twey
09-04-2006, 09:38 PM
Er... don't you mean:
<style type="text/css">/*<body></body>*/</style>? That's perfectly valid.

mburt
09-04-2006, 10:10 PM
Really? Well then. :p

jscheuer1
09-04-2006, 11:15 PM
Er... don't you mean:
<style type="text/css">/*<body></body>*/</style>? That's perfectly valid.

Perhaps illegal, and almost certainly a violation of the host's ad policy for which the site probably could be discontinued without notice, though a warning might be given first.

A neat trick, I must admit.

Twey
09-04-2006, 11:55 PM
I wasn't advising him to do it, I was merely correcting an invalid piece of code he posted for us to look at :)

mwinter
09-04-2006, 11:58 PM
<style type="text/css">/*<body></body>*/</style>
? That's perfectly valid.

No it isn't. Pass:



<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN">
<title//
<style type="text/css">/*<body></body>*/</style>
<p>

to the W3C validator (http://validator.w3.org/) as direct input and watch it fail. Now remove the closing body tag and try again.

This is the classic problem of including something that looks like a closing tag in CDATA content (which applies to the script and style elements in HTML). Any CTAGO (close-tag-open: "</") followed by a name start character will be considered a closing tag even if it doesn't match the most recently opened element; some elements don't need closing tags, so markup has to be parsed this way.




I figured out a way to void the ads too.

You do realise that you are violating the terms of use, don't you? You are subjecting your account to immediate termination should it be reported.

[In CDATA blocks] Any CTAGO (close-tag-open: "</") followed by a name start character will be considered a closing tag even if it doesn't match the most recently opened element; some elements don't need closing tags, so markup has to be parsed this way.But I thought that the whole point of CDATA was that its content wasn't parsed as markup? Would this still apply with an explicit <![CDATA[ ]]> block? Is <![CDATA[ ]]> even allowed in HTML?

mburt
09-05-2006, 12:05 AM
By the way, I'm completely following what's going on here. :) (not really)

mwinter
09-05-2006, 12:15 AM
But I thought that the whole point of CDATA was that its content wasn't parsed as markup?

The parser still has to be able to recognise a closing tag though, doesn't it.



Would this still apply with an explicit <![CDATA[ ]]> block?

No, though "]]>" couldn't occur in the script, just like "</" shouldn't normally.



Is <![CDATA[ ]]> even allowed in HTML?

Of course: it's an SGML feature. However, no browser is really going to respect it as they don't implement HTML as an application of SGML.

As always, the best way to avoid these issues is to use external files as a HTML parser will never touch them (or use "<\/" in script string literals).

I've seriously upgraded the site. I've gotten rid of those frames, and used a bread-crumb layout for the scripts. It's kind of... reddish. I think I'll change it to blue soon though. Hope you like it:
http://mburt.mb.funpic.org/

Twey
09-29-2006, 05:00 PM
Ooh, pretty. No frames, either. It is still HTML Trans, though, and invalid (http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3a%2f%2fmburt%2emb%2efunpic%2eorg%2fget_firefox%2ephp) at that.

mburt
09-29-2006, 05:02 PM
HTML Trans?

mburt
09-29-2006, 05:03 PM
And you do realize that all those errors in the validator are because of the ads funpic.org prompts, right?

Twey
09-29-2006, 05:05 PM
HTML Trans?HTML 4.01 Transitional, a pointless DOCTYPE that should really no longer be in use on the Web.
And you do realize that all those errors in the validator are because of the ads funpic.org prompts, right?I just said that it was a problem, not that it was your fault (although the missing ALT and the duplicate ID are).

mburt
09-29-2006, 05:07 PM
Yeah I forgot the alt. But I'm not going to edit all of my pages just for one lousy error lol... I used a template to do all of my pages, and that error was on the page when I did it. I could fix it but... eh.

Okay... Here's my site completely reinvented with PHP, and a registration/log in system with a MySql database. I've been working on it for a while, but it's still not done. If you want to register, though, you can go ahead:

BLiZZaRD
01-20-2007, 03:50 PM
I signed up, looks good so far! Only thing I noticed was the CAPTCHA on the registration page, it was in Ariel with a plain white background, no actual dissolve or pattern.

Signed the GB too :)

thetestingsite
01-20-2007, 05:44 PM
All fields required (except for website). Username/password must be more than 4 characters

I continue to get this when i try to register. I filled out all of the fields in the form, and I tried it a few times with different information, but still nothing.

Just to let you know.

Added Later: Also, I tried logging in with the username and password that I tried to register with. It logged me in, but it showed (I believe) Blizzard's website in the edit website form field [http://cleverwasteoftime.com].

Twey
01-20-2007, 07:00 PM
Either give the CAPTCHA the boot altogether, or implement it properly, with variable size/shape letters, variable backgrounds, and audio for blind users. As it is at the moment, it'll wind people up but not actually stop any bots.

mburt
01-20-2007, 11:19 PM
Yeah.. I'm trying to fix the captcha, the "L"s and "1"s look really alike, sorry folks.

I actually haven't been on my computer since I posted about my new site, so I haven't done anything... really weird, it gets post data, and for some reason it wiped the file clean. I just tested it now though, and seems to be working. Very strange.

mburt
01-21-2007, 03:35 PM
Argghh!! The guestbook data was cleared again, and I have no idea why. Maybe I'm mixing up some sessions and variables. That seemed to be the problem with the log in before.

BLiZZaRD
01-21-2007, 03:53 PM
A couple things.. perhaps it will help debug...

BTW LOVE the blue over the red from yesterday :D

First you have more than 1 registered user now... so it should say (top right corner) There are 3 registered users not there is..

I signed in and all my information was still there from yesterday, great, resigned the guestbook, looks fine, I then went link by link to each page and clicked on ever (internal) link I could find.

When I got to the bottom of your nav bar - users - the Welcome BLiZZaRD at the top told me to register/sign in again. So I was automagically logged off. Perhaps there is a session issue on that page?

I had to re-log in twice to get my information back...

That's all I could find from my end...

mburt
01-21-2007, 03:58 PM
Whoa, you're right. There's probably some issues with sessions on the users page... I'll try to debug it. Yeah, grammar errors can live for now, as I'm only trying to get the scripting part right :p

mburt
01-21-2007, 04:01 PM
Okay, problem found. I accidently called session_start(); again, but I already had at the beginning of the document. :)

BLiZZaRD
01-21-2007, 04:11 PM
I figured you weren't to overly concerned with grammar as a whole, but I also didn't know if you had it set up to change from singular to plural like a lot of counting scripts do (or if it was even a script), so I thought I would share that "grammar mistake" in case it led to something :D

mburt
01-21-2007, 04:32 PM
Actually it will always be plural because I automatically set up my account everytime I "TRUNCATE TABLE users" ..etc.

Twey
01-21-2007, 04:45 PM
Yeah, I don't think it will be singular frequently enough to warrant logic :)

mburt
01-21-2007, 04:51 PM
Yeah, so let's make a script that counts the number of rows and if it happens to be only "1", let's say "is" instead of "are" (surfer dude accent), YEAH DUDE! In my opinion, I'd rather do it manually :p

BLiZZaRD
01-21-2007, 05:29 PM
I would do it manually too.. call it wishful thinking that it won't stay one "1" for long :D

It's now open for anyone (must be registered) who wants to post a script :)

BLiZZaRD
01-21-2007, 09:27 PM
I was talking about the site in general, just some things to help it more user friendly, if you will.

For example if you try to go to a page that you have to be registered to view it tells you to sign in to view the page.

It would be helpful if the "sign in" part of that sentence was a link to the sign in page.

Little things like that is all I meant :D

Warning: mysql_close(): no MySQL-Link resource supplied in /usr/export/www/hosting/mburt/signup/test.php on line 52

Twey
01-24-2007, 06:32 PM
Usually means a connection couldn't be established to the database server. It's also possible that there's a setup like this:
if(validate_input()) {
$conn = mysql_connect( ... );
// ...
}

mysql_close($conn);mburt, note that mysql_close() is rarely necessary unless working with multiple connections. All connections get closed when the script finishes anyway. The only reason you might want to do this is to keep the number of connections to a minimum when handling multiple database servers, or if you were doing time-consuming processing that didn't require the database.

mburt
01-24-2007, 07:47 PM
WOW! It's like you hacked my computer and looked at my source code!
That's exactly the problem, I closed the connection outside the validation statement, which the connection was originally called.

Just checked it out. I am still a member and didn't have to reregister. every linked worked fine, and the guestbook was there (empty again though)

The only other "advice" I can think of is to have a log out button on the menu to the left there. When I want to leave I don't want to have to go looking for the tiny text only log out link.

Perhaps you could add a button that will log you out, once you are logged in? Dunno. Just trying to help with the user friendly-ness of it :)

Good Job so far man!

mburt
01-27-2007, 10:34 PM
I just realized something... The original activation email doesn't have a subject (funpic puts it's own there) so it may be read as "Junk Mail". Sorry for the inconvenience.

thetestingsite
01-27-2007, 10:45 PM
Then, that's probably why I still haven't recieved that email them. Our spam blockers are probably getting to it before it gets to me. Oh well, I'll try with my yahoo email address then.

Added Later: I haven't activated either of the accounts I tried registering. But it shows me listed as a user (thetestingsite and dc89027). Also; before I registered with the dc username, I tried to see the users list and it wouldn't let me unless I signed in. After I registered, I was able to see everything that a "non-member" can't.

Thetestingsite: I see what the problem was, you registered with "thetestingsite" before the activation script was in place.

Is it okay if I delete your dc..whatever and activate your "thetestingsite" account?

thetestingsite
01-27-2007, 11:18 PM
That sounds good to me. I wanted to just redo thetestingsite account but I guess your activation script doesn't delete the account if it hasn't been activated within 24 hours. That would be a nice feature to add.

mburt
01-27-2007, 11:22 PM

thetestingsite
01-27-2007, 11:26 PM
Shouldn't be hard at all, just insert the user information in your database with a timestamp. Then when the user trys to activate it, compare against the current timestamp and see if it has been 24 hours. If it has, then delete the record out of the db and display a user friendly message like "No user for you!" or something better of course.

Added after readin mike's newest post: An admin cp is a nice little add on so that you don't have to mess around directly with the db, instead use the cp. Good idea.

thetestingsite
01-27-2007, 11:36 PM
I just noticed something else. Just a little while ago (before you deleted the dc account) I was logged in and it showed me logged in. Perhaps, you could make show that the user is not logged in if the account doesn't exist anymore. Also, when I finally logged out as dc, it still showed me logged in at the top of the page until I logged in as thetestingsite. Just some more little items.

Sorry about that, my computer clock is off by about an hour. I fixed it and it's 7:41 PM here now.Hmm... in my timezone (UTC/GMT) that post is marked 2311. I've never heard of timezones with half-hour differences before. Or maybe the forum software is getting it wrong somewhere?

I assume so, I didn't know between half-hour time zones exisited :confused:

Shouldn't be hard at all, just insert the user information in your database with a timestamp. Then when the user trys to activate it, compare against the current timestamp and see if it has been 24 hours. If it has, then delete the record out of the db and display a user friendly message like "No user for you!" or something better of course.If a lot of users register but never activate, though, you could end up with a lot of redundant database entries. It would be better to go through the database and delete expires entries regularly, say every time any user activated.

That's why you have a temp user table, and just utilize Cron (or scheduled tasks depending on your server) to run a script that checks the timestamp to see if it is within the time frame you allow. That way, the main users table isn't clogged with non-activated users.

utilize Cron (or scheduled tasks depending on your server) to run a script that checks the timestamp to see if it is within the time frame you allow.In this case it's just as efficient or possibly more efficient to run the script every time a user registered. This would prevent redundant rows growing beyond one, but wouldn't run unnecessarily as a cronjob would.

This is true, as said in one of my previous posts:



Then when the user trys to activate it, compare against the current timestamp and see if it has been 24 hours.


hence the same activation/login script. It would be a lot more effective than with cronjobs/scheduled tasks, as you said. Anyways, just throwing some suggestions in the air.

Oh, sorry, I thought you were talking about checking only the current user's redundant entries.

Actually; after re-reading my post with the "shouldn't be hard..." part, I kinda got confused by it a little. I probably could have been a little more clearer on it, but at least now we should have the idea of what I was trying to say in it.

Nice! I am missing all the little things that Test is talking about (activation email etc) as I was active and registered before you added that.

Looks good!

Heh. Cool! Where are you at now? I am about to go through and revamp over 80&#37; of the levels. Just finished the main pages (for the most part, still a few tweaks left to do)

Working on finishing up the 300 Main Levels and topping off all the side quests. All combined I THINK I will come in at about 1000 total levels. :D

Looks good! The header Image seems a bit out of place with that textured background though... perhaps a new color and the bg transparency a little lower?

Everything else I tried still works great though!

Just a few things:
CSS is not valid
HTML is not valid (Strict)
When clicking on a user's "profile" (in the users list area), it takes you to the main page instead of the user's "profile"


Sorry, but had to be said.

I don't understand why, "You must be logged in to view this page." :confused:

Personally when ever I come across a site like that I usually never visit again. What if all the site would have you login before you can see it's context? Wouldn't that be fun!

So I checked it out but I'll pass! :cool:

Your site doesn't work on my ISP (ntl) I know this because it worked on my proxy around 3 seconds later. And as ntl is one of (perhaps the) biggest ISP in the UK, you should consider switching from funpic.
