Well, if I must. Feel better.

mail.xxxxxx.xxx (where xxxxxx.xxx is their domain name) for ingoing and outgoing (unless they use their ISP for outgoing).

Without any kind of specific information about what kind of basic troubleshooting steps have already been taken, there's not really much to say. For starters, it's a good idea to make sure the domain is accessible from their offices. (As in, not blocked by a firewall or their ISP.) Wouldn't be a bad idea to access their domain from your own office before you go. If you suspect it's a server side issue you'll want to open a help desk ticket as nobody here can access your account details.

It's a bigger holiday than Christmas in my house. Got a long day ahead of me.

I took 277VAC across the chest a few weeks ago, in one hand and out the other. Burned one of my hands and probably should have killed me. That'll get you going in the morning. Safety first kids.

That's a pretty decent tutorial. I use WP for client sites on occassion (it's good for more than just blogging) and it never occured to me to strip stuff out of the admin interface and make a custom welcome page. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the new toy HG. Would I be correct in assuming that as a reseller this would be available to my clients as well?

It was more of a "save me from myself" sort of comment. Every so often I click back to this window and click refresh to see if Head Guru has chimed in yet, and so far that's been a big waste of time. If they block my IP, I won't be able to view the thread, and I will literally save hours of time today.

Could somebody at TCH please block my IP so I don't waste my whole day reloading this thread? And could somebody else just email me when/if they announce "it"?

I suppose if you wanted to get technical you could say the Keys are just as much on the continent as the rest of us. But as far as weather is concerned, I don't think you get to group Key West in with the likes of us land lubbers. Like Rob says, we only took you guys in so we could have sweet vacation spots. And a handy place from which we could keep tabs on Fidel.

It's like Christmas morning where I wake up at 7:30am just to see what's under the tree, only there's nothing there yet....

Welcome to the forums Jordan. What are you porting to MT from?

I don't use Gallery for my albums so I don't know, but welcome to the forums anyway. I'm sure someone will be along in the morning to answer your question.

How about if you announce it now, and I promise not to look for the next 40 minutes?

I don't like Starbucks coffee (although I am a fan of the venti non-fat no-whip mocha), but free coffee is free coffee. Thanks for the tip.

Here on the West Side it's still only 10:40pm on the 14th, but they're well into the 15th out there on the East Coast. Any minute now I'm sure Head Guru will fill us in...

I wouldn't call it "less mature" so much as "less bloated." There has been a conscious decision to not include every feature under the sun as WP and MT do now. If you need help stripping it down and integrating it, let me know.

A helpful telco? That's asking a lot.

Short answer is that you can customize them as much as you want. Depends how much you want to learn and how much time you want to spend working on it. I used to run WP and had a mix of blog and regular static pages, and they all had the same look. Now I use PluggedOut Blog for my blog page and the rest I write myself. Again, all the same theme. Big difference between WP and PluggedOut. With PluggedOut it was much easier to take a static theme and add the dynamic blog page to it. With WP, you take the dynamic theme and add static pages to it. My feeling is that if you have a site already and most of your content is static, it might be better to use something light like PluggedOut rather than going with WP where you will have to get all your static content to fit for the sake of a dynamic blog page. Hope that makes sense. Either way, we're here to help no matter which way you choose to go.

Woo hoo, second page. elzee, Nothing personal, but I hope it's neither shopping cart software or blog software, as that stuff is all freely available on the Internet already. (If you need help setting anything up, there are plenty of helpful faces around here.) I'd rather have something that brings even more value to my dollar, like more disk space, more bandwidth, faster servers, more data redundancy, etc. And I can't imagine any value a deal with Billy would bring, unless he was going to give us all free hosting for the rest of our lives.

That's weird that absolute paths don't work. It did in my second example. If the paths exist, and the images exist, and you have permission to access the images, then it should be fine. Might be worth it to echo $path$file just to see what the script thinks it's looking for. Might be something simple and save you from changing all your links. Glad you got it working anyway.

So should I sit around tonight and wait for the clock to roll over on the East Coast, or is this just going to happen "sometime" tomorrow?

I took your code and stripped out some stuff to test my previous statement about $img not being defined. (Sorry, still a bit of a noob at some of this stuff.) Used this: ><?php $path = "http://www.garduque.net/test/"; $file = $pic.".jpg"; //check if image exists if($img = @GetImageSize("$path$file")) { echo "okay"; } else { echo "no way"; } ?> and passed the $pic variable in the URL and it works. So I guess I'm not sure what your problem is. Might be worth checking what it's putting out for $file.

I wrote a little test to make sure getimagesize() works on my server (59): ><?php $img = @getimagesize("menu.jpg"); if ($img) { echo "okay"; } else { echo "no way"; } ?> If menu.jpg is there then $img has a value and I get "okay." If it's not, $img is empty and doesn't pass the if(), so I get "no way." Looking at your code, I fail to see where $img is defined, so I wouldn't expect it to equal the output of getimagesize(). Am I missing something?
