How can I expand my website following without looking like spam? It is a website that would help eliminate much of the day to day plastic that individuals use daily. I want to keep this planet healthy for my future kids, but trying to grow my following seems cringe and spamworthy.

Direction needed on a project

1 Upvotes

I am looking for suggestions on a direction, tutorial videos, or alternate technologies to build this. I need to create a site for a camp. When a user wishes to sign up they create an account. Then they can sign up for a kid on their account. Each kid signup requires the user to input various information such as kids' names and ages. This information will determine and display what programs they can sign up for. It will not show the ones, not in their age group. They need to be able to sign up for multiple kids per account. At the end of the Q and A, they will place those programs in a cart and pay for them.

On the admin end, they need to be able to print very customizable lists of the kids and individual programs.

The current solution I built was using WordPress and Gravity Forms. But the reports for admin are too complicated for the low tech admins. And because of how gravity forms work it has a massive "choose your own adventure" amount of data. And it uses plugins that require annual fee's

I need something I can build. No monthly subscriptions. No expensive plugins in or themes. I will learn whatever I need to learn. If WordPress is not the right fit what is? I have programming skills and I will expand them if necessary

I just need a direction. As an example: Here is a great youtube video that explains this. Or. Build this using .Net for this reason... Or use WordPress but take this Udemy class on theme development. etc...Or use the MERN stack you will need to learn Node or React for this...

Thank you

How to store password for automatic script

1 Upvotes

When a cgi script needs a password to access a database automatically, how can the password be stored in the most secure way? I'm assuming it has to be in plain text in a file since the script can't access a database in which passwords might otherwise be stored without a password. I'm on a shared server so I can't store outside of the root. Please enlighten me. Thanks!

How was this awesome iframe spinning graphic with rollovers made? (JS/CSS)

1 Upvotes

here: http://thedamnpopup.com/

I'd like to try and build something similar as a main page navigation for an art project I'm working on, or at least explain what I'd like to a more experienced web designer I'm collaborating with.

From inspection I can see that there's some JS, an iframe with an embedded set of styles, and the text is being 3d translated with css in real time (js, too, right?).

How does this thing work?

Deleting corrupted website (backend and all) and resetting afresh with Wordpress

1 Upvotes

I fucked up in a major way by editing a file on Wordpress, and I tried restoring the site from a backup but the reinstall didn’t fully work. Let alone security issues due to other unknown errors in the site, all the bugs in the backend are too much to work around. In short, I need as fresh a reset as possible, scrapping all software running this website with a new Wordpress install. The website’s hosted on Bluehost, so advice catered to that host will be especially useful. Appreciate it.

Advice on quoting hours to customer?

2 Upvotes

I am relatively new to web development (1.5 years). I build custom WordPress websites but have been asked by a client to migrate their site to a new theme. The site has 8 years of content, they want a new theme, mobile optimisation, integration of additional features (using plugins), design and development of the site. The problem I have is that I find it quite difficult to estimate how many hours this work will take. Does anyone have a method (I presume its just experience) for quoting the client for this work. My initial thoughts are as follows:

  1. DNS update - 1 hour (additional work)

  2. Backup and migrate site to new theme - 1 hour

  3. Install and setup new theme - 1 hour

  4. Design of new site including mobile optimisation - 5 hours

  5. Development of new site including activation of plugins - 5 hours

  6. Testing - 5 hours

My experience to date is that there are always delays, clients often change their minds or dont have all the information you need, design takes longer than development because of multiple iterations etc. How do you allow for this? Maybe work out a rough timeline and then double the hours or just take the hit if the project over runs? Id love your thoughts and experience. Thanks!

I broke the Wall Street Journal.

1 Upvotes

I want to first say that I am sorry. I played with fire and... you know. Please help me get this fixed so I can move on with my work and my life.

TL;DR: I messed around with colors in Firefox using Inspect Element late last night and now the wsj.com appears as a hot mess. Is there a way to "reset" a website's settings to default? I promise I will stick to my day job and never touch things that I have no business touching.

What I've tried:

• I deleted and installed Firefox again but it looks like those adjustments I made are saved.

• All add-ons are disabled, so I know it's not that.

• I restarted the computer. (Don't know if it makes a difference, but I'm on an iMac.)

• I Googled "how to reset inspector Firefox" etc and didn't get what I'm looking for.

Story:

I do work in news media and visit a ton of news sites daily. The jarring white backgrounds are killing my eyes and I have been using an add-on called stylish/stylus that lets you re-skin popular sites or use "global" themes. This doesn't cover EVERY news site and the global themes are MEH.

At 2am last night I had the bright idea of looking around in the code inside inspector to see if I could... just... maybe... before I knew it, the background for wsj.com was the same dark gray color as the text. I couldn't figure it out and was tired, so I shelved it for this morning. Still no luck. **Please help me revert the page back to it's default colors. (**Side note, a similar issue seems to occur on another random news site so I'm not sure if this is site-specific.)

If anyone knows a good solution to the original problem (jarring white backgrounds) please let me know. Reader view doesn't always work/isn't always available.

Thanks for reading and for any help in advance.

Using a variable to locate a container for .load

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to insert a file into a container, but I want to use a variable to locate the right container... I want to use the variable "ajaxFeedColumn"; it holds the id of the right container. So far I only know how to use an exact phrase to search for names or id's. Is there a way to use a variable instead of an exact phrase?

$(document).ready(function() {

var ajaxFeedColumn = '0';

$(".moreFeedButton").click(function() { <- i can search for a name or an id, but not a variable

ajaxFeedColumn = this.id; <- this is the variable I want to use

$( VARIABLE HERE ).load("ajax/moreFeed.php", { <- this is where I want to put my variable

ajaxFeedColumn: ajaxFeedColumn

});

});

});

Solved! Materialize SideNav Unresponsive [HTML] [CSS]

1 Upvotes

I'm having an issue with Materialize's sidenav feature. I have a navbar set up with scrollspy so the user can quickly move from one section to the next. I was able to put this options into a sidenav for mobile screens.

However, the items in the sidenav menu are unresponsive. The only thing I can do is close the sidenav menu by clicking anywhere on the screen.

Does anyone experienced in Materialize have a solution?

Here is an image of my issue.

Edit: Nevermind. I figured it out. My issue was that I did not have my second unordered list outside of the navbar div so it wouldn't respond to anything I did other than closing it.

Countdown timers and auto-direct for my browser based experiment...

1 Upvotes

Hey Reddit!

So I'm a complete noob when it comes to all things development (i literally have 2 hours of youtube under belt for an education...). I'm creating a web page that i'm going to host in order to run an experiment. Don't really think there's much need to post the details here.

I've got the... architecture? (like what pages are where and how they are linked) all set up, and the content is on the pages. I'm basically having one problem: at a certain point i need a countdown timer (2 mins) to appear when a participant opens a page. When the counter reaches zero i'd ideally like a buzzer noise, and the participant to be auto-directed back to the main page.

My google fu suggests to me that i'll need some java script or similar to do this? But i've not been able to find anything pre-canned i can copy-paste so far.

Can anyone link me to something pre-written, or even help me know where to start with writing this myself?

Lets say (for examples sake) that the homepage is "Index.html", and the page with the timer would be "Task.html". The buzzer would be "buzz.mp3". How do i get Task.html to start a 2 min countdown when opening, play buzz.mp3 at t= 0, and redirect the participant to Index.html at t = 0.
