Travel/holiday sites Jul 7, 10, 3:14 a.m.

Anyone seen any nice holiday/travel sites?

Need to see some good examples of lots of content and internal promotions well designed and organised.

I saw it in Jun 9, 10, 2:54 a.m.

Note to client:

"I saw it in a shop window and thought it looked nice, can we try this"

Is not the sort of feedback I want on the 20th design revision.

WP nav question Oct 16, 09, 8:29 a.m.

This has me slightly stumped and the wordpress forums are shit.

Anyone know how I can modify the standard WP nav:

<?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&amp;title_li=&amp;depth=2'); ?>

So that it outputs a class on any sub pages?

At the moment I get this:

<ul id="nav">
<li><ah href="#">Link</a></li>
<li><ah href="#">Link</a>
<ul>
<li><ah href="#">Link</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><ah href="#">Link</a></li>
</ul>

I just want to add a class of subnav to the second level ul but I'm fucked if I can find out how to do it. Any ideas folks?

Cheers,

Setting up affiliates links Jul 26, 09, 9:37 p.m.

Does anyone have any experience setting up affiliates for a site? I have a site and I'd like to be able to further promote it by asking website owners to feature my listings and of course then pay them.

However, I'm stuggling to figure out a solid way of how I should/could track an incoming visitor from their site to mine followed by the visitor then hitting a conversion page so I know who to pay for the traffic and how much (depends on a chosen price package).

Does anyone have any idea how I might be able to set this sort of thing up? It seems like it should be relatively simple but I'm just not sure where to start here.

Cheers,

Nice charity sites Jun 19, 09, 8:13 p.m.

Anyone got any links to nicely designed and highly accessible charity websites? I've had a look on the filter and there's not much that's very inspiring and the majority of sites that adhere to the top accessibility standards look shit.

I'm sure there are sites out there that meet the standards and actually look good as well but I can't find much!

How to deal with this? Oct 30, 08, 2:24 a.m.

Had an email from someone this morning who I've never spoken to (but whos name does sound familiar as being part of the client company) saying that one of my previous clients has basically had their hands in the till and has been using an ecommerce site I built a while back to rip off customers.

Now, the crunch here is that the client I dealt with who apparently has been sacked by the company for being a thief is the person who I signed a contract for work and they are the one who paid me.

The new person however is requesting I take down the site but I'm loathed to do so without some sort of evidence of wrongdoing because as far I'm concerned the contract was fine and the job paid for nearly 2 years ago.

Any thoughts on what I might do about this?

I still host the site on my server and while I'm not shitting it about being sued at this stage, I wonder if there's any sort of possible comeback for me hosting a site that is potentially ripping off people by taking orders then simply running off with the money?

Cheers

localhost management Jul 8, 08, 10:21 a.m.

Anyone got any thoughts how I can switch between using xampp set up on a drive (which I use nearly all the time) and a recently installed IIS which I'll be using to work on some asp pages?

I know there's a little windows app that you can use to switch between various different localhost sites (ie, what shows up when you go to localhost) but I can't for the life of me remember what it's called.

Any thoughts how I can run xampp and IIS side by side and switch between as needed?

Cheers.

author meta Apr 10, 08, 1:36 a.m.

Perhaps a daft question but I'm doing a site for a client who doesn't want me to steal their search engine thunder by having it appear in my folio as they want to position it as being done in house but I was wondering if I add a meta head tag to the pages with my details would that show up in the search engines in any way?

They don't mind me commenting the code particularly but just don't want visible links back to me.

Cheers,

BT Fresca/e-commerce Apr 3, 08, 6:18 a.m.

Anyone used BT Fresca to develop e-commerce sites? I like the look of some of the client sites and some of the features and I wondered if any of you folks had any experience of using this and what it's like etc?

wordpress themes Jan 21, 08, 4:34 a.m.

anyone make and sell wordpress themes?

I was wondering if it's worth the effort trying to sell them as a little side thing? It looks like a lot of work in a competitive market but something that would possibly just tick over and make a few bucks.

Is it worth it?

mentalists in UK Dec 16, 07, 5:24 a.m.

"The latest salvo in creationism's increasingly ferocious battle with evolution is about to be fired in Lancashire. Not in a fiery sermon preached from the pulpit, but in the form of a giant Christian theme park that will champion the book of Genesis and make a multi-media case that God created the world in seven days."

Good grief, they're trying to set up a park of madness in the UK. I didn't even know there was a "theory" of creation, more a "whimsical notion of madness"?

quick bit of help folks .. Dec 11, 07, 1:23 a.m.

Dead boring I know but ...

Is anyone aware of any bugs relating to IE6 that stops certain tables on a page being printed out?

If you visit this page: http://caribbeanconnection.mixd.… in firefox and hit print preview you'll see how it should look when printing, if you visit the same page in IE6, it seems to chop out some of the data tables when you print preview.

I don't know of any reason why it should do this and I need to get some sort of response today so if anyone has come across anything similar, I'd be very grateful for some pointers.

Cheers,

Anyone UK based and self employed able to recommend a decent mortgage advisor for me? I'm looking to sell our current house and buy something bigger but having been self employed for just under a year it's the first time I've needed to get a mortgage without having a guaranteed income.

Any recommendations appreciated.
