  1. You are correct that there is no definitive front-runner; I can only attest to my experience and the experience of colleagues in the industry and from the conferences. Less is slightly more simple in implementation in that it requires a single js file, but this has serious implications when JavaScript is disabled. Sure there are other processing methods that have surfaced, but none of these are considered official implementations. When we looked for a preprocessor, we did a significant amount of research and chose to run with Sass because of the notion that an additional third-party application is required to make it work without JavaScript. Now I know that there are many that believe that those without JavaScript do not matter; but when you have Fortune 100 clients that are international, you quickly learn that those that do not have JavaScript working by default are the the clients that are paying the bills. Thus, progressive enhancement must be used which means that you cannot depend on less.js. I do not know what the future of Less is to be honest. Not to long ago it was announced that support for Less would be dropped only to have the development picked up by a a group of developers. When this happened, I watched every person in the Web Design Book Club that my company runs (with about 45 members) that used less switch to Sass. There were two things that they all raved about; @extend and Compass. Compass is by far the better aspect in my attention. These days I could not imagine writing behavior without jQuery — the same is true with Compass. In the end, I met with the boss and our sysadmin today to review some analytics related to the server performance of processing sass on the server. The background watch process for sass can be a resource hog for servers that are not equipped for it. In our environment, we are hosting hundreds of sites build in many different languages so we are adequately prepared for it. However, for a ' one-man shop', this is not necessarily required. For now, I will compile locally and upload the css via ftp. However, if the plans that I have for my future side projects come to pass, this will not necessarily serve my purposes. What is the situation on a reseller server; is Ruby allowed in that instance?
  2. So I opened a ticket with the help desk and have been told something that I am extremely shocked to be told and would like some clarification. As a front-end developer, I spend the bulk of my time writing CSS, JavaScript and building sites within open-source and proprietary CMS's. Everything that I do is in responsive design and my company does alot to keep the company using the most current techniques. An example is the fact that I have been using responsive design for more than 2 years professionally and the initial article describing the process is only 3 years old this month. The point here is that the use of Sass and compass is the future of front-end development. There are those that build with it and those that know nothing about it; the gray area in between is exceptionally small. Now, in order to use Sass and Compass, you need to use Ruby to power the Sass engine. From what I was just told tonight by the help desk is that TCh does not support Ruby on the servers. I would like to know if this is true. I am really curious about this. The dominance of Sass and Compass may not be so large that people will shy away from TCH, but the decision to not allow Sass to run on TCH servers feels like TCH is just not looking to the future and is not evolving. Sure you can write css without sass and everything will work just fine; this much can not be debated. However, you can also write JavaScript without jQuery but there are more people in 2013 that use jQuery instead of standard JavaScript alone. Even Sir Tim Berners-Lee and Oreilly have stated that Sass, and CSS preprocessors are the future. Not to mention that the W3C is adding the sass concepts to the specs and recommendations. To me, for TCH to say that this is not allowed on the servers, tells me that TCH is not evolving with the Internet. I would really like to hear your opinions. Please no flame wars
  3. yeah i knew of that one. i posted the sytax of it from php.net above the script. I just tried to make the mail snytax and noticed that this script is only handling the senders as requested. Didnt realize that till just now when I tried to add the function. I am going to have to look at this tonight, I work nights and its bedtime, and get back with you tomorrow. I am going to read and try and finish this script now that I have something to work with. Im going to compare this to my knowledge of another scripting language similar to php. I know I need to add a input for Subject and return email. Actually have the email part in the html just not here. I will do what I can with the knowledge i possess and hopefully get your comments on this tomorrow
  4. Now im no expert with php, but I did the plugging and formating, but sompething in this just doesnt look right. There is no mail function for one >bool mail ( string $to , string $subject , string $message [, string $additional_headers [, string $additional_parameters ]] ) > <div class="feedback"> <table> <tr> <td> <div id="leftbar" class="col300"> <div id="recipient"> <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action=""> <input type="radio" name="whoto" value="1" id="whoto1" checked="checked" /><br /> <label for="whoto1"><input type="radio" name="whoto" value="2" id="whoto2" />EverythingDartsAdmin</label><br /> <label for="whoto2"><input type="radio" name="whoto" value="3" id="whoto3" />Extreme</label><br /> <label for="whoto3"><input type="radio" name="whoto" value="4" id="whoto4" />Kowalski</label><br /> <label for="whoto4"><input type="radio" name="whoto" value="5" id="whoto5" />Buzz180</label><br /> <label for="whoto5"><input type="radio" name="whoto" value="6" id="whoto6" />Slim180</label><br /> <label for="whoto6"><input type="radio" name="whoto" value="7" id="whoto7" />Pestey</label><br /> <label for="whoto7"><input type="radio" name="whoto" value="8" id="whoto8" />UJSupanova</label><br /> </form> </div> <div id="bottons"> <input name="submit" type="submit" value="Submit" /> <input name="reset" type="reset" value="Reset Field" /> </div> </div> </td> <td> <div id="textarea" class="right col300"> <textarea name="text" cols="50" rows="10">Feel free to contact us</textarea> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </div> <? if (!isset($_POST['whoto'])) { header( "Location: $formurl" ); exit ; } $recipients = array( 'email@address1.com', 'email@address2.com', 'email@address3.com', 'email@address4.com', 'email@address5.com' ); $sendto = intval($_POST['whoto']); $mailto = (($sendto > 0) && ($sendto <= count($recipients)) ? $recipients[$sendto] : $mailto; ?> Where are my errors. Im trying to grasp this
  5. I will test this out to see how she works. Its amazing how close php is to my old game script. But then again they are both made off C++. Should be easy for me to grasp it once I get to learning it
  6. wow. i was merely asking how to edit an existing file. you could have just said do it yourself. i will ask any scripting question from now on elsewhere. Sorry i wasted your time
  7. I have this script for a feedback form that I generated on a site and I need to learn how to modify it to do what I need to be done. http://www.everythingdarts.com/Templates/contact.html If you look on that site, you will notice there are 7 possible recipients of the message and the script I have only deals with the form going to one person. how can i modify this script to allow for the radio buttons to decide the proper recipient? I also need to be taught what to put with the radio buttons as I have not learned what would go there to work this yet. this is the html code for the form that only goes to one person ><form action="feedback.php" method="post"> <table border="0" cellpadding="8" cellspacing="8" summary="feedback form"> <tr><td><label for="tswname">Name</label>:</td><td><input type="text" name="fullname" id="tswname" size="25" /></td></tr> <tr><td><label for="tswemail">Email address</label>:</td><td><input type="text" id="tswemail" name="email" size="25" /></td></tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <label for="tswcomments">Comments</label><br /> <textarea rows="15" cols="45" name="comments" id="tswcomments"></textarea> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" colspan="2"> <input type="submit" value="Send Feedback" /><br /> Form by <a href="http://www.thesitewizard.com/">thesitewizard.com</a> </td> </tr> </table> </form> this is the feedback.php ><?php /* CHFEEDBACK.PHP Feedback Form PHP Script Ver 2.15.0 Generated by thesitewizard.com's Feedback Form Wizard 2.15.0.

  8. I assume this program will work on our servers here?
  9. i saw that. any other tips for an awesome calendar for a web page?
  10. i dont suppose you could provide a link to it? I would like to see how it is setup cause the faq i found where it was mentioned sounded perfect is it something that can be seperate from the board?
  11. where is this tab on TCH forums that is for the calendar on here? I cant find it
  12. i understnad this, but i dont want one visitor to see that we just installed the same thing that they have used for ages. to the avgerage user who knows nothing of computers, i copied that site
  13. anyone know of any other web calendar programs? I got the one above installed and once it was running realized that this is the same calendar another site similar to ours uses and I wont allow us to be seen as copying
  14. valid point. Im actually curious to look at the calendar on here, but cant find its link
