User video upload with voting capability? Apr 23, 13, 8:48 a.m.

I have been asked to quote a site that will need to allow registered users to upload a video.
Users will then vote on videos for a competition.
I have a feeling much of this will have to be created bespoke but does anyone know of anything that may be helpful?
I have been looking into wordpress / buddypress to build it but not having much luck finding anything similar.
Any pointers would be very appreciated.
Thanks.

wordpress import problem Apr 11, 13, 8:39 a.m.

Hi,
I have updated a client wordpress site with a new theme and page structure and content on a different install for development. I now want to add all of her blog content to it. Text works fine with the import/export tool but for some reason it is not bringing in any of her attached content such as galleries. Any ideas?
I have read the import function is temperamental but there isn't much point in it if it won't import all content.
Is there a quick way of doing this?
Or should I just apply all the changes I have made (and new theme) to her existing site? Which means it will be down for a few hours...
Hence why I did it the other way as I can just switch the new one on quickly when she is ready to go live.
Any pointers or tips to solve this issue would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Slow client and payment Mar 28, 13, 2:10 a.m.

I have 95% completed a website for a client. They payed 50% upfront. I am waiting on last few bits from them to complete then half a days training on using the CMS. It was started in Jan and its nearly April. I asked the client if I could invoice 50% of the remaining amount with final bit due on going live. He says he would rather wait!
What would you do here? I sent a slightly annoyed email. I have a v.basic contract stating 50% at start and 50% at completion but as he is being so slow and they are happy with the work I thought they would at least be a little flexible.
Thoughts please?

To kern or not to kern Mar 20, 13, 7:44 a.m.

Is it just me or is the kerning poor on this - or is part of the charm of his work?
should we not get too obsessed with such things and let things be more natural (I know its a woodblock but shouldn't really matter):

Modular brands / sub brands Mar 13, 13, 7:30 a.m.

Not sure about the terminology here but can anyone think of good examples of brands that have a parent brand with sub brands underneath - incorporated into logos.
i.e. Easyjet / Easycruise, Virgin Money / Virgin Media etc. etc.
I have been asked to come up with a brand that can be applied to various markets. Quite generic but adaptable to include the market / product name after the main brand name. Not sure how well I am explaining this.
Any examples you know of would be v.useful.
Thanks.

Any other good ones?

Subscription management Feb 25, 13, 2 a.m.

Anyone know of any good online software that manages subscriptions/membership monthly payments?
Users signup to an option (2 tiers of membership) and software handles payments and user accounts?
Thanks.

Nice arty/unusual t-shirts Feb 24, 13, 2 a.m.

I'm sure this could be filtered but looked at t-shirt of the day and wasn't a lot on there.
Anyone know of any good t-shirt sites doing something a bit different. I must stress not Threadless etc. Don't want to see any cute visual puns. More higher end fashion stuff - abstract etc.
Struggling to find anything with searches as google is dominated by the Threadless type sites.

vector generator Feb 23, 13, 3:54 a.m.

Hi,
Is there a plugin or script for illustrator or standalone that generates interesting vector patterns (random and with parameters) - geometrical type stuff - using equations.
Like processing but script ready done with parameters to change. Oh and with stroke width etc.
Don't ask for much do I!?
Must be something out there.
Thanks.

Wordpress multilingual plugin Feb 20, 13, 2:41 a.m.

Just about to start a wordpress site that requires an English and French version (content, menus, titles etc all need both translations).
The client wants to translate herself as she can speak both languages so no automated translation required.
Anyone know of a good user-friendly plugin (the client will be doing most of the content) that offers the above, i.e. your own translated content and all elements of site translated.
Thanks in advance.

Exhibition panels Feb 11, 13, 12:33 p.m.

I have to do some exhibition panels 2m x 0.75m.
Do you do the artwork at 1/4 size these days?
I seem to remember doing them at that size before but its been a while (I mainly do online now).
Thanks!

T-shirt feedback Feb 3, 13, 3:10 a.m.

Hoping to launch a cllothing brand soon with my girlfriend.
Been working on various designs.
Would love to hear what you guys think and whether you would wear any of them.
I expect the usual backlash but would like to hear what you guys think and whether you like the brand name etc.
Thanks

resizing swf file? Jan 30, 13, 1:19 a.m.

I am doing a banner ad for a client. We did the mockup bigger as they wanted to see it bigger but now they want one at 125x125 - way smaller.
I don't really want to rebuild the whole thing so what is the easiest way of resizing the whole banner (and reducing the size of file - assets need to be reduced also)?
Thanks.
