/wdg/ - Web Development General

First for phpclasses.org [show-on-mouseover]should dissapear[/show-on-mouseover]

I have some check boxes named

name="is_direct_import[]"

and I'm trying to get them stored in an array with either 1 or 0. This isn't working:

$is_direct_import = (!isset($_POST["is_direct_import"]) ? "0" : "1");

Old thread:

>>59723742

>>59770133
$_POST["is_direct_import"] is supposed to be an array, unless somebody edits the original HTML, in order to trigger error messages

>>59770216

if they all have the same name ya it stores it in an array. Works for text inputs but cant get it to work for check boxes

More related to web dev then your post.

This general is the only one I've seen this happening.
It's fucking cancer.

>>59770467
You're cancer. These are all part of web dev.

That's like going into a cooking thread and bitching about people who write posts about eating or working as a cook or trying to launch a restaurant.

>>59770509
No, it's like going to a cooking thread and people keep posting being afraid of holding the knife.

Hi /wdg/.

I'm more or less completely new to HTML and Javascript and I'm having a problem with something pretty straightforward, I was hoping you could help.

Basically I have a table of images, and I want to create a mouseover event for each image, so the image changes to another one when you mouse over it. I assumed pic related would work but nothing is happening. What do I do?

>>59771229

uh, no.

>>59771369
Is there a way I can define breaks differently for one part of my website?

>>59771447
What's your website? Link it.

>>59771504
it's supposed to be

function newImage() {...

check the error console of your browser, it would have told you.

besides, try to avoid using inline styles and event attributes. use css classes and event listeners instead so you don't mix your markup with code.

>>59771609
Thanks anon, really dumb mistake on my part. Thanks for the advice too, will use the error console from now on

>>59771606
Nah, I want to become an established player before i post it on 4chan (with all the risks that come with it). But it's a travel site so the niche is highly competitive.

>>59771666
Keked and checked, what country?

Why are browser's so annoying? I just checked my current project outside of Firefox and two buttons are too short and one margin looks like shit. Geez can't they simply use one CSS engine for everything.

>>59771695
I'm from the Netherlands, but its an English language website.

I don't have the time yet to focus on other languages. So I figured I might as well focus on the most important one. But in the future I hope to make a German language website as well.

>>59771725
use some normalize css like normalize.css or bootstrap reboot to make default browser stylesheets match each other.

Finally made it so now writers can see when someone comments on their articles on my site. Really happy about that.

Also... quick... for a libertarian blogging platform what would you say the slogan should be?

I came up with: "Inscribing Information without Limitation"

firstamender.com

So i have 2 classes

class GenerateNameAndCompress
{
    private $OLD_VIDEO_NAME;
    private $COMPRESSION_LEVEL;
    private $AUDIO;
    public static $NEW_VIDEO_NAME;

    public function __construct($OLD_VIDEO_NAME, $COMPRESSION_LEVEL, $AUDIO)
    {
        $this->OLD_VIDEO_NAME=$OLD_VIDEO_NAME;
        $this->COMPRESSION_LEVEL=$COMPRESSION_LEVEL;
        $this->AUDIO=$AUDIO;
    }
    public function GimmeName()
    {

and

class PlayVideo extends GenerateNameAndCompress
{
    private $VIDEO_NAME;

    public function StartVideo()
    {
        $this->VIDEO_NAME = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
    }

}

how do i set $VIDEO_NAME to be equal to public static $NEW_VIDEO_NAME from first class?

>>59772476
Why do you need a slogan for a platform?

>>59772588
it's a website with the concept of letting people write what they want to without repercussion.

not really answering your question but why use classes for web dev? ive never had. I use JSON through my responses and thats all I need really.

>>59772660
I mean i can ez just add $_SESSION =newvideo name in first class and do it, but i want to do it proper way. I want to see how this would work in php, i come from c++ and java and this is the way i like it

>>59772698

oh ok then dont mind me im just an OOP noob, dont see the point in it when JSON does the structuring for you :p

>>59772718

>>59772621
i'm no design expert but your site looks like shit
maybe move the "what is firstamender" section into it's own about page
also make pictures in your carousel fit the whole
carousel, make carousel take less screen height
since it seems you take recent article pictures for the caroussel maybe display article categories in the caroussel instead
also i think you want to avoid using blue and red as main colors but i can't into color theory so whatever

about the slogan make it something like "uncensored, unsponsored, unaltered" or just make a poll and get your users to vote for one

>>59772791
it's designed to be as simple as possible.

and I put the what is because I wanted people to understand what it was on the landing page. I could certainly make that a whole page but we elected to be shown first thing.

Carousel is tough because I had it doing 100% of the page but unfortunately if I do that I either have it bleeding through (which looks aweful) or I have it switch height and doing so will cause the other portions of the page to jump in height. I basically tried to get the best of what I could do with people uploading their own content.

>>59772847
maybe it won't clash as much if you chnged the caroussel background color from black to the header's blue (or a lighter shade)?

>and I put the what is because I wanted people to understand what it was on the landing page. I could certainly make that a whole page but we elected to be shown first thing.

ok, i'm just bitching about it because with header + caroussel + about section i have to scroll for a whole screen to get to actual content

>>59772973
thats fine it's an informational site. Tons of informational sites do just that. Though I've spent some time working on what was the best way to show that carousel. I've tried blues and black and ended up choosing on the black. The red white and blue is representative of the American flag.

Do any of you fuckers use Markdown?

How do I implement this shit into my site? Every google search just leads me to fucking syntax tutorials. Do I have to embed something into my HTML?

I'm trying to make it so I can store formatted blog posts into a database and then render it onto the HTML page and apply the formatting appropriately. I already have all my HTML pages written, and I'm using the Django template engine.

So for instance, I write **fuck** into a field, then I store that into the database, and then I render a page which takes the **fuck** out of the database and puts it on the page. I want it to apply the markdown though.

webpack successfully compiles my code, but it turns the text invisible. At least, I think that's what's happening, because the cursor lines up perfectly with the last command.

>>59773792

Maybe consider devops/systems administration instead? If you struggle with javascript I feel like you'll struggle with most languages used for web development.

So for usernames fields, how do I detect when an illegal character is used?

I only want users to be able to use all letters, lowercase and capital, numbers, hypens and underscores. Nothing else.

>>59779271
Something like this. Double check how to write regular expressions.

HTML

<input onChange=validate()>
<script src="script.js"></script>

script.js

validate (event) {
  var regularExpression = /[A-Za-z0-9]-_+$/;
  if (event.target.match(regularExpression)) {
    // success 
  } else {
    // fail
  }
}

>>59779271
Depends, most frameworks have their own validation system, so look up that if you're using one. If you have to implement it yourself then a simple regex match usually works.

>>59779398
That only validates on the client. In the real world you want to also do that validation on the server.

>>59779429
>In the real world you want to also do that validation on the server

why's that?

>>59779495
any faggot can send whatever he wants to your server, if you don't validte it once it's there it's like not validating anything securitywise
you can never trust user agent

>>59779495
XSS mainly, someone could skip the client side validation and simply post JS in a field to be rendered by user browsers on display.

>>59779512
>>59779526
If I'm using xampp for apache and myphpadmin, how do I validate input on the client side? Just create a PHP validation form in addition to a javascript one?

Use JS on client side, and PHP on server?

What html/css/js projects will be most likely to impress employers?
I'm thinking of building a chat app and teaching myself node with making a web scraper but I can't think of much else that would get them interested.

Has anyone been successful in making a website with JS/web.asm UI, and CSS3-only fallback for users with JS/web.asm disabled?

I mean you really shouldn't even allow the client that sort of capability because 100% of the time they WILL fuck it up. I only ever give them that sort of power if they explicitly ask for it because they've got their own team.

any general tips to get into this in regards to simple projects like wordpress sites ?

services covered ?
do you keep admin access and manage updates ? set a ticket system up ? maintain a testing version on your own servers in order to validate any changes before putting them into production ? manage backups ?

pricing ?
is it just a flat fee taking hosting costs into account + estimated amount of time spent on maintenance ?

Kinda offtopic, but I am a webdev and I am not really learning anything at work.

Well, I can disable JS and input whatever I want.

>>59784722
I don't know, I'm trying to ensure my site is safe and secured.

>>59784725
In that case, my PHP cleanup function would do the same thing before the input is sent. The JS function just shows to the user what exactly was sent.

>>59784808
It would be better to show an error. What if your user just wants there name to be Tw@t, if you silently transform it to twt they won't know what there username is.

>>59784854
I'd be very, extremely mad if a search bar doesn't let me type non alphanumeric characters. Just let people type them, and strip then in the backend without them knowing.

I'm learning flexbox right now so I can position my layouts and make them responsive. Is there any need to also go in-depth and learn more about other positioning techniques? I know the basics of position: fixed, relative and absolute.

CSS has so much depth to it that it amazes me. I haven't even touched on learning animations or any real styling because I've been stuck learning how to position elements and shit. I didn't realize how much hacking you have to do to it to position your website layout though. No wonder all websites use a fucking frame work like Bootstrap

I'm a beginner and I've been purposely holding myself back from learning javascript because I want a solid understanding of at least learning how to make a layout using CSS before moving onto something more in-depth like javascript.


pic related: I actually own these books But I don't really use the HTML and CSS one because it's kinda outdated but I can't wait to use the JS one

>>59786906
There isn't much hacking when it comes to position layout once you understand flexbox and normalize.
People use bootstrap because it trims down development time substantially and fits you into a certain mindset in web development. It's pretty nice all things considered, it's unfortunate that people only view these frameworks as 'grids' and nothing more.

Those books aren't all that good past the superficial beginner level quite frankly. Beautiful though. Eloquent Javascript is going to be a rude awakening, and is necessary IMO once you're doing getting comfy with CSS.

>>59786951
Thank you for the reply and the warning about JS.

I think once I get used to flexbox everything else involving CSS styling will feel easier (some animations look really complicated though)

>>59787019
Once you understand flexbox, you also understand how the likes of bootstrap work because they do the same thing. So that helps once you get into using them. Which by the way I fully recommend. It's totally worth it to be able to work with bootstrap in projects if you so need to (whether solo or part of a company).
Animations have a pretty wide range. The sort of insane things people are crafting with css is amazing.

You'll get annoyed at JS. Power through it. Once you get past the HTML/CSS side of things, you can become really frustrated at yourself due to not being able to just fuck around with shit until it looks the way you want it to. Some solutions just require a good nights rest.
Anyways, build small projects along the way to show off your skills. It doesn't have to be all-encompassing. For example to show off your HTML/CSS skills, create a single beautiful page reviewing your favorite album/game/movie.

To that guy was saying he didnt learn anything at work, WHAT?!

I learned more in a month than I ever did on my own shit.

I'm writing queries that join dozens of tables and optimizing them. I didn't know OOP really well in the language we use, but now I do. I also learned MVC because I'm a vanilla fag. Not only that, I learned a fucking metric ton about business and how clients should be handled. How to keep clients giving you money for extra services. How to appeal to clients and show them your software. Most importantly I learned making shit for business is more viable then making shit for consumers. For what they pay they could hire teams of devs to code their own proprietary shit and sell it too. It's crazy. For what one of them pays you would need a million normies with a pretty high conversion rate.

If you aren't learning anything then you're at a bad place.

That's because Low Level Dev and Web Dev are two different ballparks in terms of requirements, difficulty, and effort. Anyone with enough training can be a webdev and mistakes are a lot less costly at least on the front-end side of things. You also can get something magically despite not knowing some brain dead simple things. Low level programming wants people who know all the serious CompSci algorithms and optimizations and they want somebody either with a paper telling them that they know it, or a serious portfolio proving that they do.

4: Add the missile that shoots vertically (subtracting y value)
5: Add the alien in, which moves side to side (x++ until it reaches SIZE * 6 which is 600, then x-- until it reaches 0)

I do have a question for you though. Did you find a way to gen apps for ios on any OS other than ios?

>>59795402
last time I checked, there is none, the required files are bundled inside of xcode which is only working on OSX.

So no, to dev iOS/OSX apps you need OSX.

Even if swift is open source and you could get it working on lets say arch, you'd still need the iphone SDKs from Xcode.

Also appstores requires you to develop in a mac.


Before anyone gets sassy I assume writing the code does not answer the question.


I guess I'll just do a script to automatically move all of the new files into their respective plugin folders desu.
