REMOVE DOMAIN FROM WEBSITE LINKS IN WORDPRESS

February 20, 2015 — Tags: WordPress | 0 Comments

WordPress does many magical things behind the scenes. HTML tags needed to
display a blog post are added for us. Posts tagged with keywords are
automatically connected to other posts with the same tag. Side bar widgets
generate lists of recent posts, most used tags, etc. with no intervention from
us. We just need to write the posts, add the tags, activate the widgets and
WordPress does the rest. With all these automation features, I have overlooked a
potential flaw in the system—they use absolute links. [Continue reading]


POPULATE FORMS WHICH HAVE BEEN DISCONNECTED FROM GOOGLE DOCS

Due to popular demand, we're going to look at pre-populating Google forms using
PHP. Last week's post showed how forms can be liberated from Google Docs. Since
they're disconnected, we won't be able to depend on the standard method provided
by Google. We're responsible for developing our own solution. Luckily, this is
fairly straight forward with server-side languages like PHP. [Continue reading]


DISCONNECT FORMS FROM GOOGLE DOCS FOR COMPLETE CUSTOMIZATION

June 10, 2013 — Tags: embedded wiget, Google, Google Docs, HTML Forms | 0
Comments

Google forms provide a quick, easy, and free way to collect information from
customers. The forms can even be embedded within an existing website to give a
more consistent look from one page to another. Unfortunately, Google doesn't
supply very many options for customizing forms. There is a way around these
limitations, however. [Continue reading]


FIX FOR DOWNLOAD ISSUE WITH PDFS AND INTERNET EXPLORER

June 3, 2013 — Tags: browser extensions, PDF | 0 Comments


Over the past few months, comments have been coming in about PDFs not opening
properly. The process seems to get stuck before the download completes. However,
the issue doesn't always manifest. There seems to be a correlation between it
and larger PDF files. After a bit of research and eliminating some possible
contributing factors, I came across a solution which worked for me. [Continue

RENAME FILES ON THE FLY WHILE TRANSFERRING WITH WINSCP

May 27, 2013 — Tags: WinSCP | 0 Comments


When uploading files to a website, it's easy to let WinSCP do its thing. The
file name will likely be the same as the one online when fixing typos and
updating content. However, what happens if the file names don't match? We'll
need to upload the new file, remove the old one, and rename the new file so that
it works with the website's links. The process is tedious; especially if the
process is repeated dozens of times. Luckily, WinSCP provides a better way.

AVOID MYSQL QUERIES WITHIN LOOPS

May 20, 2013 — Tags: MySQL, PHP | 0 Comments

One consistent piece of advice that's given on PHP help forums is that queries
shouldn't be executed within loops. However, they don't usually provide an
alternate means for accomplishing the task at hand. So I wanted to share a
solution which fixed one of my scenarios. [Continue reading]


AVOID BROKEN WEBSITE LINKS BY ELIMINATING WHITESPACE IN GET VARIABLES

May 13, 2013 — Tags: PHP | 0 Comments

When naming pages for a website, its best practice to avoid spaces. Well the
same goes for the GET variables (and their values) passed via the URL. Website
addresses will likely work with or without spaces. However, that doesn't mean
they will be free from problems. Visitors may copy a website address into an
e-mail message, for example, and those spaces prevent e-mail clients like
Microsoft Outlook from converting the address into a clickable link. At least a
clickable link that works. [Continue reading]


PREVENT DUPLICATE ITEMS FROM BEING ADDED TO A SHOPPING CART WITH THE HEADER
REDIRECT

May 6, 2013 — Tags: PHP | 0 Comments

For the longest time, I've been ignoring header redirects. They typically seem
to be used for processing form requests. One page collects the form data and if
everything checks out, the script redirects visitors to a confirmation page.
Otherwise, the visitor is redirected back to the form. This is a perfectly
acceptable way to build forms, but my preference has been to keep everything
under the same page. Using a series of if constructs makes this possible.
Lately, however, the header redirect has been sneaking into my scripts. In case
I'm not the only one shying away from the header() function, let's talk about
one possibility. [Continue reading]


WINSCP LOGGING INTO THE WRONG WEBSITE FOLDER

April 29, 2013 — Tags: WinSCP | 0 Comments

In a newer version of WinSCP, a setting was added to remember the last folder
used. The setting usually works as expected, but there's been a few times where
I'm dropped into an inaccessible folder with no apparent way to my website's
files. Restarting WinSCP has fixed this type of issue in the past. This last
week, however, restarting did not work. So it's time to investigate and share
the findings. [Continue reading]


REMOVE WHITE SPACE FROM FORM DATA TO AVOID POTENTIAL HEADACHES

April 22, 2013 — Tags: coding practices, form validation, PHP | 0 Comments

When processing form submissions, it's important to remove white space before
and after each value. Those extra spaces will likely go unnoticed by most
visitors, but luckily this won't be a problem most of the time. In some cases,
however, those spaces can lead to a lot of confusion. [Continue reading]
