Mobile Redirects Apr 29, 12, 2:11 p.m.

Quick question with redirecting to mobile sites. I don't do a lot of them (dedicated ones), I am trying to instead to focus on adaptive design layouts, so bear with me.

I have a redirect script to detect the device and redirect to the mobile site, m.domain.com.

But they want a 'full site' link on the mobile version, so what's the best way to do that and not get stuck in a loop? Because if I just link back to the home page, the script will kick in and bounce them back to mobile.

Should I use another script that checks where they were referred from? If coming from the mobile subdomain, do not redirect? Should I use a cookie? Is there a 'proper' way to implement this in the mobile space?

Means to collect photo submissions Apr 23, 12, 4:12 p.m.

I have a client who want to collect some photo submissions along with some basic info (Name, contact info, photo caption).

Any existing web services out there for this I can just use? It's for a ASP.Net setup. or I would just whip something together in PHP.

Thanks!

Search for DVD / Thumb Drive Mar 30, 12, 2:44 p.m.

A client want to drop a copy of a publication index and the associated files. We'll basically be running it as an HTML site locally on a DVD or thumb drive (or other physical media).

What options are available to create a search feature for the physical media? Either creates and index on the media (preferred) or something it can access online (if necessary).

In the past we've done it in Acrobat itself using it's own indexing tools, but wanted to know if there were other ideas.

IIS - Unique IP Jan 12, 12, 1:09 p.m.

Anyone by chance have an idea why a website setup in IIS and bound to a unique IP and port 80 fails to respond to the IP in a browser?

http://[siteipaddress] just yields a 404.
Also tried http://[siteipaddress]:80

Online Magazine Platform Dec 19, 11, 2:25 p.m.

I have a client who publishes a monthly magazine for their society and now want to do a full online format. It'll integrate as a component of their larger site.

Just wanted thoughts or opinions regarding online publishing platforms. Is there something we should look at, or better just to start from scratch and built to suit (which we have done before)? It's not a terribly large magazine. In a month there is usually an interview, 2-3 articles and about 6-10 small, regular features.

Should I just stick with a regular CMS for the magazine portions?

Thanks in advance for any input.

PDF Document Submissions System Oct 28, 11, 1:45 p.m.

I have a client who wants the following functionality and I am not sure it's even possible.

They want users to submit PDF of technical papers they have written. Then, based on info they provided in an online submissions form to a database, have a PDF title page generated and appended to the submitted document.

Anyone seen, done something like this or have any thoughts? I would REALLY appreciate it.

Thanks!

Anyone still practice or remember their CF? I need to modify an old set of scripts for a client. Nothing too hard or too large. Send me a message if you are interested and I can fill you in better.

New Shaw Data Plans Jun 16, 11, 3 p.m.

For those of us in Canada who get Shaw as an ISP, they sure changed gears from scaling back plans and caps a few months ago to totally revamping with some pretty nice options and incredible data rates:

Now, if I can only dig up any info on whether they are throttling any traffic (netflix etc) with all these new plans.

Movie Clip Stitcher/Joiner May 30, 11, 12:38 p.m.

Anyone have any recommendation for a PC movie clip joiner (mp4 etc.).?

I know I can use Premiere et al, but I'm looking for something smaller and quicker.

Thanks
