Mods & Plugins (Releases & Support) / Re: [Mod] Search Engine Friendly URLs aka Short URLs

« on: March 24, 2006, 01:48:20 PM »

hmmmm 

I too was interested to find a way  to remove session IDs completely... like the very first time homepage loads, all links have this session IDs and if u click on any links, the second time page loads, we get clean links without session IDs, this ok but the worse thing is all pages that get indexed by search engines have this session IDs 

  v@no's previous idea on how to remove it is promising...
  he has also mentioned the disadvantages of it, which is discouraging to apply it...

@ v@no

How can we add "Subcategories in Control Panel categories overview can be expanded/collapsed" of 1.7.2 to the code you gave here: http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index.php?topic=8682.msg40823#msg40823

Mods & Plugins (Requests & Discussions) / Dedicated category/sub-category page with linking to search.php

« on: March 17, 2006, 11:25:01 AM »

Is it possible to make a dedicated category page?

extract all category names and sub category names into a list and link it using the appropriate category or subcategory name to the search form using the category or sub-cat names as keywords,

like for example sub category: "ford" in main category "cars"

http://site.com/search.php?search_keywords=ford&search_terms=all

And make a rewrite to display url
http://site.com/cars/ford/ford_page1.html (with paging, if more pages, like page1, page2, page3....)

Thanks in advance

Edit: maybe by suing V@no’s sitemap mod to extract all cat and sub-cat names and modifying it to link to search form instead

if anyone is trying to make an integration, then please take the url matter into consideration, rather than just integrating the user management part, give first preference to url integration, cause if a spider cannot index our sites well then there is very less chance that it will show up on the top 20 pages...

the wrapper functions is the last pref, cause it just does an visual integrations.... and from my experience; I have see, that even the best spiders do not index well within the wrappers... can say did not do it at all in my case.... spiders find it difficult to index such sites using frames....

Let's hope that out of our massive 12992 (as per 16/3/2006 ) members here at 4images, someone comes up with a MOD to achieve this...
Wishing all the best

Thanks for the kind words

The loading of images and thumbnails look really nice. Which Mod is this ?

Its an easy effect, the basic idea here is to set the image {media_src} as an background effect in a table, this way it will show only once its fully loaded so the trick is to make one big table and set a loading animation as background and put the above table inside it... since the loading animation is small and same though out the site.... it loads first.... and thus this effect... I think there is no mod for it yet, though its simple to do urself....

Hint: make the table in jpg.html (for loader in details page) and thumbnail_bit.html (for thumbnail loaders) and use the attached loading images..... (p.s if u need more PM me, i got a few more )

Important! the loading images are very small in dimensions ... u should use a photos editing software like adobe image ready to increase the canvas size to the same as of your thumbnail or detailed image, this way it will not repeat or else u will see 10s of loaders if not more on the image

Let me break the news: if u can wait, I will release a new template for free download, more advanced the onc I have used on the site in a few weeks times (or days)

To make the tool tip appear on the details page, u need to add the code into templates/<you template>/media/   to the files jpg.html, gif.html etc as per ur requirements....

Best is to add the following code inside the <td> tag just before the {media_src}

U can also add images (like the smiley i added on www.hotdt.com
Here is my code preview in the <td> tag

Code: [Select]

onmouseover="return escape('<b>::  {image_name}  ::</b><br><br> To view 1024x768px wallpaper<br> click on the picture.<br> Please rate this wallpaper! <img src=\'{template_url}/images/login.gif\' width=\'18\'>')"
tip: if u decide to add it to the <td> tag then comment of the others tags in the .js file and just leave:

var tt_tags = new Array("td");

if u are interested in the popup function tell me

Hope this was helpful
Regards

« on: March 05, 2006, 11:21:19 AM »

@ V@no

First of all thanks a lot for this mod, I got addicted to it...

I have been noticing one strange problem; to explain it let us imagine I want to add 100 photos
1) I upload the photos to the appropriate directory in data/media/
2) Using the check for new images MOD... and ok with default settings 30 images at one time....and press add....
3) Now sometimes, a blank page or timeout page (this page cannot be displayed page..) is returned... now starts the mess...
4)  If I use file check mod, it shows many images with thumbnails missing.... ( I am stuck now...) on site these images are already there wihout the thumnails.
5) If I use auto thumbnail, then double thumbnails are logged into database with one original image and the result is: http://hotdt.com/download-anna-kournikova-30.htm
6) If I delete the second images from edit image, then its a complete mess, remains just one variant without its "big" image or "detailed" image...just its thumbnails!!!
7) Now all I can do is delete this complete set and re-upload and try to repeat without getting the first error....

Is there a way to just remove these thumbnails from database without its detailed image getting removed?

I guess this problem is when there are images to be worked with at one time; like when I use number of images as "5" to work at one time its ok... but its neck breaking if we want to add some 300+ images at one time 

Any way to solve it?
Any help will be appreciated
with regards

Actually I am NOT yet another many haters of MS, from my experience most MS haters are software developers…. its understandable, cause no one likes to see anyone on the top and ruling the field..

I agree with you V@no, winxp is very stable compared to its previous versions and I am happy with it & IE though it has all those security holes.

I guess this is an old joke, and I see people still enjoy crushing MS

Chit Chat / Microsoft Powered GM's New Car

« on: March 03, 2006, 06:26:16 PM »

Note: found else where on the internet!

Microsoft Powered GM's New Car

At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the
computer industry with the auto industry and stated, "If GM had kept up
with the technology like the computer industry has, we would all be
driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."
In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release
stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft,

we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:

1) For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.

2) Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to
buy a new car.

3) Occasionally your car would stall on the freeway for no reason.
You would have to pull over to the side of the road, close all of the
windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before
you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.

4) Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause
your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would
have to remove and reinstall the engine.

5) Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was
reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive -- but would
run on only five percent of the roads.

6) The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would
all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal
Operation" warning light.

7) The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.

8.) Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock
you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted
the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.

9) Every time a new car was introduced, car buyers would have to
learn how to drive all over again, because none of the controls
would operate in the same manner as the old car.
You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off.

Chit Chat / Who Makes Better Toasters?

« on: March 03, 2006, 05:48:52 PM »

Note: found else where on the internet!

Who Makes Better Toasters?

If IBM made toasters... They would want one big toaster where people bring bread to be submitted for overnight
toasting. IBM would claim a worldwide market for five, maybe six toasters.

If Xerox made toasters... You could toast one sided or double sided. Successive slices would get lighter and
lighter. The toaster would jam your bread for you.

If Radio Shack made toasters... The staff would sell you a toaster, but not know anything about it. Or you could
buy all the parts to build your own toaster.

If University of Waterloo made toasters... They would immediately spin off a company called WatToast.

If ParcPlace made toasters... Their OO building block system would be called EGGO.

If Oracle made toasters... They'd claim their toaster was compatible with all brands and styles of bread, but
when you got it home you'd discover the Bagel Engine was still in development, the Croissant Extension was three
years away, and that indeed the whole appliance was just blowing smoke.

If Sun made toasters... The toast would burn often, but you could get a really good cuppa Java.

Does DEC still make toasters?... They made good toasters in the '80s, didn't they?

If Hewlett Packard made toasters... They would market the Reverse Polish Toaster, which takes in toast and gives
you regular bread.

If Tandem made toasters... You could make toast 24 hours a day, and if a piece got burned the toaster would
automatically toast you a new one.

If Thinking Machines made toasters... You would be able to toast 64,000 pieces of bread at the same time.

If Cray made toasters... They would cost $16 million but would be faster than any other single slice toaster in
the world.

If The Rand Corporation made toasters... It would be a large, perfectly smooth and seamless black cube. Every
morning there would be a piece of toast on top of it. Their service department would have an unlisted phone
number, and the blueprints for the box would be highly classified government documents. The X-Files would have
an episode about it.

If the NSA made toasters... Your toaster would have a secret trap door that only the NSA could access in case
they needed to get at your toast for reasons of national security.

If Sony made toasters... The ToastMan, which would be barely larger than the single piece of bread it is meant
to toast, can be conveniently attached to your belt.

If Timex made toasters... They would be cheap and small quartz crystal wrist toasters that take a licking and
keep on toasting.

If Fisher Price made toasters... "Baby's First Toaster" would have a hand crank that you turn to toast the bread
that pops up like a Jack in the box.

If the Franklin Mint made toasters... Every month, you would receive another lovely hand crafted piece of your
authentic hand crafted Civil War pewter toaster.

If CostCo made toasters... They'd be really cheap, as long as you bought a six pack of 'em.

If Microsoft made toasters... Every time you bought a loaf of bread, you would have to buy a toaster. You
wouldn't have to take the toaster, but you'd still have to pay for it anyway. Toaster'95 would weigh 15000
pounds (hence requiring a reinforced steel countertop), draw enough electricity to power a small city, take up
95% of the space in your kitchen, would claim to be the first toaster that lets you control how light or dark
you want your toast to be, and would secretly interrogate your other appliances to find out who made them.
Everyone would hate Microsoft toasters, but none the less would buy them since most of the good bread only works
with their toasters.

If Apple made toasters... It would do everything the Microsoft toaster does, but 5 years earlier.
