/wdg/ - Web Development General

Anyone know the CS:GO crate thing where it ticks through the skins then settles on one?

How would you do that with JS?

I can think like, you have all the images with set dimensions, then when it scroll % width = 0 play the tick sound, but how do you know what image is under the ticker?

>>57720778
Use data-id attributes on the img tag to store the unique ID of the item.

>>57720797
Yeah, but how do I actually know that the ticker is over an image to grab that data-att?

>>57720797
data-selected="true"? Store the current ID in a variable somewhere? There's a hundred ways to do it.

nvm, figured it out.

Generate the winning item before, put it in a random position after a minimum amount. Populate positions around it with other random items. Scroll to it to make it look like it's real.

I've made a shitty website.

On the main index i have a .gif. If i leave the main index for another page and then hit the browsers "previous page" button, the gif is no longer playing.

How do i fix this?

How can i get

"lat" : 37.4223664,
"lng" : -122.084406

from this json with php?
http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=1600+Amphitheatre+Parkway,+Mountain+View,+CA

>>57721913
Idk m8. I'm not a web dev. I just come here to shitpost.

>>57721913
does the gif loop infinitely when you first view it? (gifs can be made to play once)

sounds like a browser bug

new as fuck to webdev

im going through some of the material in OP, but have some questions

I have a web host that offers PHP and MySQL. what does that mean? Can I just upload my entire db onto their servers? Can I access the db remotely through MySQL Workbench or MySQL Command Line Client? (I don't want to manage my db through cpanel and phpmyadmin) Or do I need a local machine that holds the db and act as a server?

If you have answers or know resources you can direct me to, would be much appreciated

I've been away for a while, what's the current memeJS framework?

>>57722687
I set that JSON to variable "n".

var latLng = n.results[0].geometry.location;

>>57723134
i tried to do this to output all:

$url="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=1600+Amphitheatre+Parkway,+Mountain+View,+CA";
$json = file_get_contents($url);
$obj = json_decode($json);
echo $obj;

but in error_log i get

[Mon Nov 28 00:08:46.615543 2016] [:error] [pid 1191] [client ::1:40358] PHP Warning:  file_get_contents(http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=1600+Amphitheatre+Parkway,+Mountain+View,+CA): failed to open stream: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known in /srv/http/index.php on line 4

>>57722996
>I have a web host that offers PHP and MySQL. what does that mean?
Means the server has php and mysql installed and available for you to use if you want.

>Can I just upload my entire db onto their servers?
Yes.

>Can I access the db remotely through MySQL Workbench or MySQL Command Line Client? (I don't want to manage my db through cpanel and phpmyadmin)
For shared hosting, the easiest thing is probably to just develop on your local machine however you like and then do a sqldump and send it to your server (ftp or cpanel's annoying file upload thing) and import it with phpmyadmin.

Generally you only want localhost to be able to directly access to the db for security reasons. If your hosting provider allows you ssh access (They usually don't for shared hosting) you can just ssh into the machine and do whatever you want with it.

>Or do I need a local machine that holds the db and act as a server?
No, that's the whole point of using hosting. You're essentially renting a (virtual) machine in a datacenter somewhere that stays running all the time for your users to access. You could run a website from a local machine, but that's generally a pain in the ass to do for various reasons.

>>57722868
You're right.

It happens in firefox, but not in chromium.

>>57723289
Are you opposed to using jQuery?

>>57722996
You should check out Google App Engine, it has a free trail. It has very strict control of db access. If your IP address is static, you simply open it up to that IP and you can access the db with whatever program you want.

At first GAE seemed a little daunting, but once you go through the short tutorial, you'll be up and running in no time and find that it's much simpler than traditional hosts.

My db is >10GB, may change often, from interacting with clients as well as from my input, frequently exchanging the whole db sounds unrealistic. Surely there must be a better way?
>>57723662
this seems great, if maybe a bit overboard. why do you suggest GAE instead of any of these other cloud data packages?

I have very little experience in web development but a shitton in desktop and mobile (iOS) shit. I am also skilled in visual design. I want to pivot from my current job as a technical-heavy mobile developer to a more design-heavy developer. My current job is killing me and it seems like pursuing front-end is my best option for that. I'm on no deadline so investing time in learning the necessary skills is an accepted necessity. Will I be committing suicide by doing this? Literally any comment/feedback/criticism/ridicule/insults are welcome.

>>57723872
Also you may ridicule me if I have erroneously assumed that front end will sate my desire for a design job.

>>57723872
Go for it. It's a tired cliché, but hard work is the only way if you want real change

App Engine is pay for what you need/use model. So if you have a very low traffic website, it will cost you almost nothing. If you have a lot of traffic, it scales up indefinitely.

You don't actually use all those services from your pic, they are just available in case you want to use them. I just use App Engine, Cloud SQL and Cloud Storage, but you may only need the first two. I don't know how much your current host is charging, but GAE almost never, and I mean never, goes down and is always incredibly fast. If you only use it for small websites, you might end up paying $5-10/month at most. Very secure and easy to secure as well.

Why are so many laptop configurators so fucking shit? I'm buying a Dell XPS 15 but the options are incredibly stupid and you have to start from a handful of shitty presets with seemingly little relation between the specs.

Looks like I'm just going to try to get everything else I want and then just buy 3rd party RAM to get 16 GB. Ridiculous.

>>57723483
How should i do that in jquery?
I dont rly use it that much

>>57724180
Does it make sense to buy a 1080p laptop in 2016? The XPS is my pick, too, but it's been pissing me off because what I really want is QHD with the larger screen size but the 15 only lets you pick 1080p or 4K. 4K lowers the battery life drastically whereas the QHD on the 13 is still great.

So yeah, bad configurations.

>>57724746
High DPI is a meme. None of the Desktop Environments scale properly. You just end up using a smaller screen resolution to fit the screen size.

Which should I learn first: JavaScript, Python or PHP?

What does /wdg/ think of wordpress? Thinking of doing freelance wordpress sites.

>>57724836
Really? I fiddled around with a XPS 15 4k in Best Buy yesterday and it seemed pretty impressive. I use Windows 10 for my work (.NET). My desktop is only 1080p, so I don't have any real experience with higher resolutions on a personal, long-term basis.

>>57724847
PHP, then JavaScript. Python in notoriously easy so you'll pick it up with no problem.

>>57724847
all 3

>>57724861
wordpress is pretty much mandatory for freelance web dev

>>57724895
Maybe it's better in Windows 10, I don't know, but in Windows 8 my high DPI laptop had tons of problems with various programs. Lots of scaling issues.

When it comes to Linux, GNOME3 can only scale by integers. I think KDE's scaling is probably better, but I haven't tested it.

How can i call one function from another in same php file?
function 1

public function fun1(){
echo "fun1";
}
public function fun2(){
fun1();
}

is it something like this?

>My db is >10GB, may change often, from interacting with clients as well as from my input, frequently exchanging the whole db sounds unrealistic. Surely there must be a better way?

I'm a bit confused on the use case here. You already have a 10GB database, but nowhere to put it? Are you trying to port some kind of local MS Access thing to a web app or something?

>>57725547
>Are you trying to port some kind of local MS Access thing to a web app or something?
basically. I had been using the db on a local machine but now I need to physically move around where the only thing I can count on is internet access. So all I really need for now is a remote-access-enabled SQL db (which, as it turns out, isn't as simple as it sounds, at least in MSSQL).

But I was planning on getting into web dev anyways, so I thought a nice first step would be to set up a back-end on which my database can sit. Eventually, I'm going to build web apps that uses the db, so it's all gravy.

My background is in db management/data mining though, so maybe my whole thought process of sitting a db on a web host is wonky.

>>57724847
Personally, I learned Python first for things unrelated to web development, but any of them would be a good choice. You can use JS on the frontend and backend. Python is particularly easy to read and write. PHP used to be incredibly popular (and still is, although it's declining) so depending on your location, jobs are particularly plentiful.

Okay, that makes a lot more sense.

>But I was planning on getting into web dev anyways, so I thought a nice first step would be to set up a back-end on which my database can sit. Eventually, I'm going to build web apps that uses the db, so it's all gravy.

Weeeelll...What you're trying to do is actually somewhat involved and complicated. You should probably start off by learning some PHP (Or pretty much any other programming language if you prefer). If you just put a naked database on the internet somewhere, you're just asking people to fuck with it, so you really need a web app with some form of authentication sitting in front of it. You should also know how to implement basic security precautions to prevent things like SQL injections.

>My background is in db management/data mining though, so maybe my whole thought process of sitting a db on a web host is wonky.

The database lives on the server where it can only be accessed by the web application software. A user sends an *http request* to the app, and the app *responds* to that request according to programmed logic by reading or writing data to the db and sending the result to the user.

Fuck, I'm so retarded. I thought you wanted to read the results from the browser so I spent the last few hours figuring out how to pull in the data in using jQuery and making it POST the lat and lng so you could pick them up in PHP. I'm way better at PHP, but now I'm to tired to start over. Good luck. The fuckery with the data is that it's first stored in an array at position zero and the rest can be accessed in the typical multidimensional array fashion. So in PHP, something like [geometry][location][lat] and so on.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head><script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script></head>

Which text editor is best: atom.io, brackets.io, or sublime text?

>>57725027
I've heard it's far better in Windows 10, but I don't feel a need to go higher than 1080p on a laptop. I wouldn't say it's meme tier, but I think that it's not that useful unless you're either a content creator of some sort (mostly photography at this point) or you have a lot of >1080p content (unlikely, and most services won't have it for years to come). The battery life is more valuable, for sure.

That said, the other "amusing" thing with the XPS 15 is that you have to pay out the ass to get a 1080p version with their bigger battery (I think it's like $1,600 base). It's laughable how much better the XPS 13 configuration options are.

>>57727715
then just get some side jobs. don't pressure yourself doing 9 to 5.

>>57727817
I've used brackets and its better than sublime IMO. its just a matter of preference. you should try to use those three to see what you want.

>>57727817
I mostly use atom, but when I need to format huge files i have to do it in sublime.

sublime really performs well, but atom can be customized to the however you want it.

>>57727845
I can't get any job

>>57727817
atom is really good and sexy as hell but it's fucking slow. it needs at least 8 gigs of ram to run but i've managed to fuck it up on 16 with a bad regular expression search

sublime is faster and can be themed to look good, but it's not as customizable

>>57727817
Atom. If you don't have a decent amount of RAM, Sublime. If you only do front-end and like it, Brackets is pretty good, but it just doesn't measure up as well.

>>57728276

8GB?

I have a HP Z800 with dual 6-core Xeons and 128GB RAM, and Atom is still ridiculously fucking slow.

>>57728313
atom runs just fine on my 16-gig MBP

i've got plenty of projects on github that are unfinished useless pieces of shit and few that are at least mediocre.

Is it better to have many github projects that includes those unfinished and unworthy creations or should I focus on having only few projects that are clean code and expentantly functional?

>>57731433

finish those shits. at least they know you can DELIVER. then you can refactor and clean up later. because efficiency takes time. you'll be experienced enough to do clean code even before you clean up your code.

>>57731433
create large projects, then you're forced to keep the code good enough because you won't be able to remember everything that's going on at some point and when you need to read the bits you forgot you can immediately understand it.

for larger projects you need to know various design and architectural patterns which are usually used by most larger development companies. but if your aim is just some wordpress faggotry then you wont need it

Because we work in the vintage car/motorbike industry and a lot of our customers are not on instagram, at best they find us on google or go on our website by referral.

I was thinking that this way we only need to update one account, but both get updated.

Good for you. At least it can signal search engines that you always have content. why not leverage also Facebook and Twitter for your website's content. Both the website and the social media accounts will be always active. Win-win.

>>57732492

This is what I am hoping to do, my main issue is that we don't have the budget to get someone to make a site so I am just learning and doing it myself, its not too hard to do the basic stuff, and I suppose if I make it I can maintain it rather than relying on someone else.

How hard is it to find web dev jobs? Most companies outsource these jobs right? Will my dream of being web dev for Brazzers come true?

Hey /wdg/, newfag backend dev here, been learning Nodejs for two months or so and wondering if I should switch to php soon.

The reason behind my thoughts is the fact that by using all these Node packages I don't feel as though I'm actually improving my programming skills. For example... am doing a tutorial for making a login app, shit's bloated with packages that do all the work for you without having to actually code any of the logic.

Pretty much every tutorial so far that I've come across is exactly that, an over-reliance on packages.

TLDR, should I switch from node to php in order to get better at backend coding?

>>57735727
Please learn a real language

>>57735738
such as?

>>57735583

No need. Just leave the action blank and use an isset to see if the form was submitted via the button. If so, run the php code and at the end echo a success message.

>>57735727
The only way to learn how to do things on your own is to actually do them on your own. You can over-rely on 3rd party tools in any language. Instead of just blindly npm installing the packages for the login app, dig into the node_modules folder and actually read through the code yourself and then try to re-implement the functionality.

You can certainly switch to PHP if you want (read: if you hate yourself) but if you just end up using Composer or whatever you still aren't going to learn anything.

PHP is fine and not going away. Don't meme yourself

Hey, I'm gonna pick up either Eloquent Javascript or Javascript: The Good Parts. Any suggestions on which one I should get? I'm just learning js for front end. I already know 2 other programming languages if that makes a difference.

I am making a little weather app that gets the user's location from IP info. It displays their location (eg. "miami, florida") and this location text is in an input element. What I want to do is to display only the location text normally, then when mouseover and typing, show the full input box with "search" button next to it. Can anyone think of any examples of this anywhere I can reference?

if i were you i would learn back end web programming first and then use a js front end framework to play with the data. "I'm learning js for front end" just sounds weird to me.

what are some good tutorials on building web app APIs from scratch? python/node/php preferred.

I've heard Eloquent recommended many times although personally I learn better through tutorials and projects than books. Not sure what >>57738234 is talking about, most people that aren't already coming from a programming background learn frontend first. It's not weird at all.

Front end is so much easier and isnt the "brains" of a web app. To read Javascript: The Good Parts for front end is a little much. JS frameworks make front end simpler anyway after you have your data and know how to use it. I think it's a good book but only if you plan on doing more than just front end.....not really a beginners book...

Recommended PHP frameworks to do DB operations that are LIGHTWEIGHT?

Yii / cake / ignite Have shiton of shit that i dont want thay bloat everything up.

Stop using PHP is not an answer. I want to make a fucking website, not a javascript clusterfuck one page app mumbo jumbo. Im just too lazy to do the interaction with the DB myself.

>>57739590

I like using SQLite via the command line for set up and checking stuff out (muh schemas) in my DB. Then I like to use vanilla PHP/PDO. If there's a framework that uses PDO maybe try that then. Just make sure you're thinking about security....

>>57739590
>I want to make a fucking website, not a javascript clusterfuck one page app mumbo jumbo.

I agree with the sentiment, but there are other backend langauges.

In any case i'm not a php guy so I dunno.

I use node.js for backend :^)

Does anybody have experience with social share buttons?

I'm desperately googling and trying to figure out how to code them myself and make them work with my blog. I'dl rather not use plugins because I want a full control of their position and looks.

Actually, even plugins don't do it properly. I basically want ta functionality like on this page:

Learning by doing is a great way to work out the kinks and weird shit in CSS. Take the time to set up a simple VM and work out doing dev work on personal sites and what not from the comfort of your own computer.

Honestly though, if you spent a lot of time on HTML/CSS, it's time to start learning Javascript to round out the rest of the front-end. Make a countdown-clock for your birthday or a whack-a-mole clone, anything. See a simple-ish website you like? Try looking at the source and fucking around in the browser to see what makes it stick together. A lot of learning comes from fucking up and fixing it while understanding why it happens, so don't freak out when all the child elements inside a modal end up in one position after a while because of some shitty coding on your part.

What's the error you're getting? Is it a database error? What database are you using?

If you're using postgres and you're getting a db error, it's probably because postgres doesn't like either double or single quotes in your wheres (I forget which it likes off hand).

Also, $search2 doesn't appear to have any quotes at all.

question: on click of a window it will change their z-index so it performs like focusing a window when overlapping another. Problem is, my margins that I use to centre the code window are blocking this click so if the side overlaps the other window it won't click on the window behind because this margin is blocking it.

Ideas?

>>57747680
It isn't throwing any errors but it isn't searching correctly, because the wildcards aren't working properly for some reason. I've tested it against sql injection and it works perfectly, but it doesn't actually search properly.

>>57747757
Capture logs from your database to see what queries are actually being sent by line 127 and by what you've written. I'm willing to bet there's a typo.

Is the no result thing after putting single quotes on $search2, or are there single quotes implied somewhere? I'm not that familiar with PHP. Looking more carefully, are you sure that's how you should be building $search1 as well? It doesn't look like those single quotes need the escape on the double quotes, but I'm not certain... or maybe single quotes can't be used for strings and those need to be changed to double quotes.

>>57747416
oh okay. I thought you're using PDO so I pointed out the pquery thing.

Theres tons of ways, either use a python framework, or you can invoke the script from PHP and get its output. My suggestion is try to do both so you learn more. And the biggest thing that people in this thread need to get is that you dont cheat, meaning have other people solve it for you, or a library solve it for you. The biggest way to become better at this crap is trying to figure it out yourself, cause when trying to learn one thing, during the way to get there you will learn so many other powerful ideas and tools.

I made a home page for myself with links to websites, but the links just add what is in the <a href=""> to the end of the directory path of the homepage that is already in the address bar, how can I make it just go to the website?

>>57748439
you have to preface the string with which protocol the link will use. For example:

Obviously if it's not using HTTPS then do HTTP

i need some help doing a svg preloading animation thing guys.

right now i have a site that has a preload thing which has
html

<div id="preload_area">
     <div id="loader" >
      
     </div>
   </div>

that has css

#preloader {
    position: fixed;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
    bottom: 0;
    background: #0e0200;
    z-index: 9999999;
    height: 100%;
    width: 100%;
}

.no-js #preloader,
.oldie #preloader {
    display: none;
}

#loader {
    position: absolute;
    top: 50%;
    left: 50%;
    width: 50px;
    height: 50px;
    margin-left: -25px;
    margin-top: -25px;
    background-color: #EC6552;
    -webkit-animation: sk-rotateplane 1.2s infinite ease-in-out;
    animation: sk-rotateplane 1.2s infinite ease-in-out;
}

and some other webkit animation keyframes stuff that i ignored

with javascript

$(window).load(function() {

      // will first fade out the loading animation 
        $("#loader").fadeOut("slow", function(){

        // will fade out the whole DIV that covers the website.
        $("#preloader").delay(300).fadeOut("slow");

      });       

      })

so the loading div is like a sqaure that flips and rotate and stuff until document loads.

so now i want to replace that square with like an svg animation i have that has code
so inside the loader div i did

<div id="preload_area">
     <div id="loader" >
<object> 
        <embed src="logo.svg" width="40%" height="40%">
            
        </object>
      
     </div>
   </div>

and erased the stuff inside the #loader{} and webkit animation keyframes after that in the css file.

and i put the .svg in the same heirachy as the html file and inside logo.svg i have <style> that animates the logo but its not working... any help?
when i run it i see nothing

I read that it's favorable to give HTML elements as few classes as possible for styling them.

> anyone know any projects on github I can contribute to so my portfolio can look better

If you made 1 or 2 bigger projects you should go into the wild. I'm not talking about a "Hello World" App with scaffolding here, rather something that has some tricky parts like the projects in "Rails4 in Action" or "Agile Development with Rails5". But if you understood the basics, go get grab a customer. It will be more challenging, more rewarding and maybe you'll even get some bucks out of it. Don't make the mistake to think "you are not ready yet", you have to apply things to get any good.

>>57750644

Oh and one more thing:

It can't be stressed enough that you don't need a cool portfolio to get a customer. Made a website for yourself (good for your portfolio AND to find new customers!!!)? Made a site for your sister? For the Karate club where you trained when you where 12? All those are your first customers!

It's super important to get live, to really deploy something. After own or two real sites you have a portfolio that is good enough for your first "real" customers.

>tl;dw - 100vh headers and clean, pure-text, articles beneath, without any distraction like related posts etc.

I'm on a verge of making another redesign (I mean, it's not like it will take much time to tweak some shit, but I'd just like to know is this a meme or not).

I always think the bounce rate on these has to be terrible, what is somebody gets bored and doesn't scroll to an end, but there is not anything else which would gain his attention? The user will just leave the website, right?

>>57754126
what IF* somebody gets bored

>>57748486
>>57748474
Thanks, but how do I get it to link if there is no protocol in the link to begin with? rightstufanime.com is the one I'm trying to get to work, putting https doesn't work at all and putting http sends me to some scam site.

ugh NYT needs to fire their designer ASAP

>>57754283
Now I see it's not even fully responsive, heh.

What do you think should articles and news in general look like? I heard people say they don't want any distraction while reading, though, and I guess NYT achieved that.

UI and UX are HELL.

>>57754264

say I have a file "2016-20-11-13-43_Some_shit_whatever.md", as you can tell from the code, the first thing it does is remove the file extension, then it should split the name of the file into numbers and letters, removing the saparator (underscore), which are contained in an array, then I convert the numeric portion of the array into a date and the letters into a string which represents the title of the file.

The problem with the current regex that I'm using is that it also removes the spaces and special characters from the title. So instead of returning Some_shit_whatever it returns Someshitwhatever. That's basically it.

famalams, do you know that new york times won 2 webby awards in a row for the best news site design?

>>57754343
It's responsive.

Honestly it's tough, because news sites in general are in a constant stage of change. The Intercept is just much more pleasant to read. Images take up less space and are much more effective. The Wired's articles are what NYTs articles should be inspired by as well.

Really though, accessibility will always be king (next to content, obviously). If readers are having a hard time accessing your site and the content on it, then it doesn't matter what you do, shit's fucked. Which is the main problem with NYT, a full page of an image and some title text, but how do I access other articles from here? How do I go from this page to news about sports? If it's more than 1 action - it's fucking up UX. Can a blind person easily digest all this information? Can they even navigate it? Or does keyboard-only controls fuck up navigation?

UI/UX isn't just about looks, it will never be.

The downside of having a successful website

>>57754450
Have you seen the webby site? LMAOOOO
Also do you know they charge to submit your site for entry? Also you have to go through a retarded refund process if you withdraw before they pick winners?
WHAT A J O K E.

>>57754558
Thanks for the opinion. I agree with you, that's why I mentioned in the previous post that the bounce rate must be terrible. I'm just looking at The Intercept, and yeah, it's nicer. I don't like that they had to hide those few links behind the hamburger icon, it's really bad for UX. The Intercept doesn't show related posts either, though, and I don't know if I should remove that from my site or not. I guess it is compensated by infinite scroll between the articles.

>>57754446
I can do it in javascript, but looking at your code, aren't you replacing the underscores with spaces?

str_replace("_", " ", $p)

>>57754847

That's good though, the underscore it's the separator between the date and the title. I would prefer a PHP solution, this is basically for learning purposes.

Is there a list of material/projects I can develop in HTML/CSS? Already completed all of the content for both subjects on codecademy and freecodecamp. I need to actually implement the skills I've picked up to make something and really put it all together.

>>57755230

Not sure what you expect, just start coding and making websites, there is not a lot you can do with HTML/CSS alone, just make something pretty, be creative.

If it helps, here's a couple of things you can do:
https://github.com/you-dont-need/You-Dont-Need-Javascript

>>57755048

>on one hand you have node.js growing and being shilled by google and shit
Node is mainly popular because you can do fullstack dev all in the same language and because of the huge 3rd party library. JS is also legit comfy once you understand it's eccentricities.

>on the other you still have PHP that still kicks, have more jobs, and probably pays more
The language itself is fucking garbage, but as a career choice it's fine. PHP salaries actually tend to average out to be somewhere around $10k-$20k lower than other languages, but I suspect that has to do with all the minimum wage wordpress monkeys bringing down the average.

>and then there is ASP.NET being pushed by microsoft
Also fine, but Windows server will make you want to blow your brains out.

Just pick something and learn it. Once you git gud, most of it will translate over to a new language if you want to switch.

What did you use for backend? I'm currently doing the same thing (check the conversation a few posts above).

>>57755904
PHP and SQL I just did the raw programming and output HTML.

>>57755924
How long did it take you to code all the backend? I'm using wordpress (because I'm doing the website for uni and backend is not the main topic, but the UI/UX, so saving my time), but even when most of the backend functions were premade, it took me dozens, if not hundreds of hours to code and design everything. I'm wondering what would happen if I did everything from scratch.

So I guess WP is good sometimes...

>>57755987
>>57755924
Btw, it would be based to see the code on github if you have it. If not, np, but I'll have to find something similar for educational purposes.

>>57755987
The thing is about CMS is that you have to spend quite a bit of time figuring and working each module out. Worst part about CMS is that the company you chose to do a CMS retains ownership of your code. So if it were up to them they can take down your site at any time without warrant legally. I like retaining ownership of my sites so I just develop my own stuff and use free various plugins in javascript/jquery that are available IE things like a complicated slideshow or somthing. For frameworks I just use bootstrap as most of the CSS mobile is already implemented saving me a ton of time. With that there are tons and tons of individual bootstrap designs brilliant people much better than I have concocted.

>>57756005
Unfortunately being that most of my site is done in a php code where a lot of it is revealing to a SQL database I really can't risk the possibility of SQL injection. But really the concepts are all there with w3schools tutorials for PHP.

>>57756062

use PDO for secure PHP code

>>57756062
That's okay, thanks for the reply! I might try doing my own backend too when I'll have time.

>>57756062
>Unfortunately being that most of my site is done in a php code where a lot of it is revealing to a SQL database I really can't risk the possibility of SQL injection.

FYI if showing the source code for your site makes you vulnerable to SQL injection...you're already vulnerable to SQL injection. There are bots that just crawl sites constantly looking for vulnerabilities. If you aren't sanitizing your forms, it's just a matter of time before you get hacked.

>>57756175
You must also consider that if you can somehow pull the source code on a PHP file you then have the power to hack 90% of the internet.

>>57756194
[citation needed]

>>57756250
If you can pull raw code of a PHP site you basically can then look at the original source code referencing an SQL database and essentially get the keys to seeing an entire SQL database of that site. Any site that uses PHP or other server side scripts would be vulnerable. If you can somehow circumvent a server hypertext preprocessor you would be the scariest cracker alive with an ability to take on just about any web server with that knowledge.

I get crawled and attacked constantly. Not just SQL injection attempts but before I realized how to disable remote root I was getting attacked there too. Also the fucking spambots. I had over 10k email messages from my contact form full of SQL injection attempts.
The funny thing is I didnt even use stored procedures, I just sanitized heavily. They didn't get in.

What langage can remplace it ? Real question, I want to know

>>57756302

nvm it's because i was surrounding my fields with single quotes and not brackets

>>57756296
The only way to make use of that info is to have server access.

Like if I can break your query I can see all your dbs and drop them all.

No one cares about your column names unless they just want to vhange everyones first name to dickbutt.

how would one invoke this i'm confused :(

// Copy length elements of the array from to the array to.
// Begin copying with element from_start in the from array
// and copy that element to to_start in the to array.
// It is hard to remember the order of the arguments.

dudes if you spend the time and learn about good security practices with php/pdo you will be fine. If youre that scared use M$' ass.net or something

>>57756483
The problem isn't that the language is shit (it is). It's that PHP devs have no idea what they're doing or how anything actually works. The learning curve is sufficiently shallow in the beginning for any slap-dick retard to make a basic dynamic website after like 2 hours of PHP tutorials on youtube. That's fine, but most of them never progress beyond that because their dogshit code is """"""good enough"""""".

>>57756670

This is mostly true. If you took PHP projects students do at tech schools and community colleges, you could hack and destroy them easily if you know what you're doing. Point is: know what the fuck you are doing. Anytime you're dealing with the http protocol and

How do I use greasemonkey/tampermonkey to change a webpage HTLM?

I copy pasted the webpage source code into a new script with the changes that I wanted to make and also specified the namespace url and the match url.

You have to write a JS program to change it using the DOM API, you can't just copy-paste the HTML...

Kind of similar to what I did a few years ago. Had a draw part of the site where you users could draw on the maze walls, drawings would be saved to base64 encoded png files.

 var tbl=document.getElementsByTagName("table")[0]; 

var trs=tbl.getElementsByTagName('tr'); 

var replaceTD=function(TRindex,TDindex,value){
 trs[TRindex].getElementsByTagName('td')[TDindex].innerHTML=value; 
};

replaceTD(4,3,'item 04'); 

So this is my greasemonkey script so far, why isn't it replacing the what's inside this TD with 'item 04' ?

>>57761067
arrays start at index 0, so you may want to change the function call to 3, 2.

Also you may need to wait till the DOM has fully loaded. If the table is dynamically loaded you need to be listening for DOM additions.

You can place your code in something like:

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
//code

});

To keep infinite scrolling articles without related posts (because they get fucked) or to remove infinite scroll and keep related posts... Hm, decisions...

>>57761401
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/40879366/greasemonkey-tampermonkey-replacing-specific-td-elements-in-a-table

Here's the code, I know what you mean with indexes since I'm studying C and this is similar to arrays but I don't think that's the problem.

>>57761560
Latter, I mean I'm sure you can keep infinite scroll up to a certain limit but after that require user input.

This is probably a thoroughly stupid question, but what's the best way to provide a user-toggleable page-break button that works inside a table? As far as I can understand page-breaks are only respected for block-level elements, but a span inside a td should qualify?
