About to start learning HTML after realizing I need to be able to design my own website.
Bumping the thread
Mason Ramirez
You don't need to "learn" html, it's markup. You get used to it, there isn't any concept to learn per se. Don't be too worried if you feel like you covered all there is about HTML in a few hours, that's actually all there is.
I advise you to follow a tutorial about making a blog, or downloading a blog template then changing whatever you don't like.
Ayden Mitchell
OMG SDUDE DONT SAY HTML ISNT REAL LANGUAGE. I LEARN HTML CODE ACADEMY. IT SAYS IT REAL LANGUAGE. SO IT IS YOU RETARDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD. I BET I EVEN KNOW MORE HTML THAN U
John Richardson
I'm getting mixed signals here.
Levi Thomas
Did anybody here work with Raphael library? How is it?
Jayden Cox
When are we removing kike academy from the links
Dominic King
I found a very nice alternative to bootstrap, /wdg/
There is more to bootstrap than columns, user. People don't use it just because it has columns. It makes frontend easy to throw together without much thought.
Ayden Clark
are one page website a meme?
Kevin Miller
no
angular 2 is fucking awesome learn it
Wyatt Campbell
Ive spent 3 days moving box's around a page, and my highlight was copying jquery code of someones site and trying to make it work because I thought it was JavaScript.
Sublime text is a meme, using dream weaver is much eaiser.

Hello guys,
my mother in law has a simple wordpress e-shop, there are 11 pending updates for WP and the plugins, the guys who designed and hosted it doesn't respond. I haven't done anything with WP so far, but I assume it should be relatively safe to do the updates ? Would there be any chance of anything fucking up afterwards ?
thanks
Noah Price
I have a question,
In what browser can i experiment and test my own javascripts without it being blocked or deleted by browser?
Any known version?
Grayson King
>have awful hacked together jquery script from when I didn't know jquery >it works
>go to rewrite it with all my knowledge 3 years later. >It doesn't work.
I'm looking at this and it doesn't make sense.
Caleb Morris
>dreamweaver now THERE's a name I haven't heard in 10 years
Levi Hill
judging from angular 1 veterans, angular 2 syntax is horrid, and the whole ecosystem feels bad like java
Landon Hughes
They're both retards. HTML is pretty easy though, you should be fine.
Michael James
Mm
Brody Gonzalez
dont talk about something you're not knowledgable in yourself
Justin Mitchell
If you have the WP login access, you betta fucking update it before your mom gets hacked LOL
>plugins are 90% safe to update, the 10% is either contact forms that might mess up the design (and you gotta go check on it), or depreciated plugins where they suddenly just don't work anymore -- WP is starting to do that thing where if it's not valid, it will self-delete
if you have a e-shop and woocommerce / wp-commerce is actually one of the plugins, you betta update that shit pronto
>most updates never break the theme, unless it's the theme/framework itself; they make child themes for this safety reason, but if you can tell that your current theme HAS a child, then you're safe
Robert Turner
WP core should stay up to date automatically, but if not you definitely need to update that. The plugins should probably be fine to update as well, but it might be a good idea to backup first just in case.
Robert Parker
Pretty much any modern browser will run JS fine, not sure what you're asking.
Cooper Russell
old WPs don't update automatically, that got put in after WP 4.2 even then, some hosts don't have that option to help update for you
Evan Barnes
If I were to write a backend REST API in whatever language, and a REST client in a JS framework on the frontend side, would I _need_ to have the backend be publicly exposed?
tl;dr: REST BACKEND
Austin Smith
my wife's mom actually, yeah i have the wp login. thx for the input tho
>WP core should stay up to date automaticall WordPress 4.7.2–en_US is the proposed update , we are working out the hosting login data, i really doubt the fucker who was supposed to take care of the site has done any backups.
I guess if anything fucks up, a simple copy-paste of the backup (re-upload) should fix everything, right ?
Luke Phillips
All"yall Try making a js button and play it in your browser....
Isaiah Garcia
First backup the files (within the rootfolder and perhaps the wp-config if it's above the root folder) and export the database, obviously.
Benjamin Gray
Publicly exposed as in having the API endpoints available over the internet? Of course you would, how else would you do it?
Joseph Lee
so I would need something like:
site.com which does REST calls to api.site.com (auth required)
right?
Eli Ortiz
So I've begun my journey of HTML and CSS to get my feet wet in becoming a front end web developer. I've got a problem with my nav bars though that I can't seem to be able to fix. I've tried to set the classes, I've tried CSS display: inline; coupled with text-align: center; to get the .navbar2 li to align the nav bar to the bottom of the page and inline like the one on the top.
I'm really new to all of this and I'm probably making a huge rookie mistake in all this but I've decided this is what I want to do for the rest of my life so I'm up for the challenge.
Here's my HTML and CSS sheet I'd love some feedback so I can improve my own skills. I'm doing this as practice so don't be so critical that it's ugly.
.Navbar1 li { display: inline; margin: 195px; text-align: center; } .Navbar2 li { margin-top: 300px; display: inline; text-align: center;
}
Nicholas Miller
Why does the following query not work in PHP (works flawlessly if I ctrl+c ctrl+v at MySQL prompt): $stmt = $db->prepare('INSERT INTO Account VALUES ("312", "asd", UTC_TIMESTAMP(), "lkj"'); if(!$stmt) return $db->error; It generates this error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1
Gavin Richardson
you're missing a ) at the end for VALUES ()
Logan Richardson
inline elements don't support margins top/bottom, set it to inline-block.
>In an inline formatting context, boxes are laid out horizontally, one after the other, beginning at the top of a containing block. Horizontal margins, borders, and padding are respected between these boxes. The boxes may be aligned vertically in different ways: their bottoms or tops may be aligned, or the baselines of text within them may be aligned. The rectangular area that contains the boxes that form a line is called a line box.
the entire approach you do is fucked anyway, don't set pixel values, they'll look different on different devices/resolutions.
William Butler
This might not be the best place to ask, but I might as well give it a try.
I currently work at a company, for almost a year. Salary wise I can't really complain, make about $2500 net a month. However, the company I work for have a huge hard-on for WordPress. A system I personally despise, mainly because its lack of freedom (routing wise) and the database structure, which for projects that need to be scalable, can be slow (we have big customers).
When I first applied for the job, I said: "I don't mind starting off with WordPress, but I do eventually hope to work with other systems too.. preferably (which is my expertise) Laravel or other MVC systems". His reply: "We work with lots of different systems and Laravel will be one of these in the future". So, after 8 months working here, I still haven't touched anything else than WordPress.
I asked another colleague of mine: "Do you think I'll ever work with anything other than WordPress at this company?". "I am afraid not", he replied.
So I'm a bit stuck. We are a small team and I have a great relationship with my colleagues, lots of banter and we help each other out. My boss however is rather childish and you're often not taken serious when you suggest certain improvements. So I don't think bringing up this dilemma with him is a good option.
tl;dr: >make decent money, great colleagues >forced to work with pajeet WordPress, want to work with Laravel >only 8 months at this company, would be better to have more working experience >boss has a huge hard-on for WordPress and won't change >I don't think coding with WordPress is good for my development
So my dilemma is, leave and get a Laravel job OR stay and continue using WP, but gain more CV working experience?
Adrian Morales
what do you want to do with your navbar ?
you forgot to close the tag btw
Brayden Thompson
Angular 1 """veterans""" are just disappointed that they had to learn an over-complicated technology and now it is obsolete. Angular 2 uses TS which is much better then ES5 Angular 1 uses. IMO main fault of Angular 1 is that it is built for web designers, not for programmers. Angular 2 fixes that.
Isaiah Carter
Me personally, I'd stay for another 4 months, THEN start sending out applications.
But I'd do it for more money, not simply to use Laravel. I'm sure you could manage accomplishing both, however.
Juan Davis
>margin: 0px;
Gavin Davis
So I should set it to display: inline-block;? I'll give it a try. >don't set pixel values Should I use REM or EM? >the entire approach you do is fucked anyway How so could you explain a little bit? I'm looking to get better so anything helps. Holy fuck noob move on my part. Thanks for that. >what do you want to do with your navbar? I want to have options at the top for different pages relating to navigating the website for information and one at the bottom for credits, about us, contact, employment, etc. Things that relate to who made the site and things about the sites contributors you know.
Jaxon Rogers
Yeah, I'm thinking about perhaps doing some freelancing in the meantime and expand my Laravel portfolio.
Carson Thomas
>But I'd do it for more money, not simply to use Laravel. This. If money isn't your number 1 priority by a long shot then you will end up getting taken advantage of although it sounds like you already are. $2500 a month sounds pretty low if you are in the US.

Connor Miller
Works fine in Nightly from the terminal. If you want to play around with JS go to Codepen or JSFiddle, and you can code JS right on their sites.
Caleb Sanchez
why is php so fucking awful
ive been trying to figure out how to make a table out of a mysql database for hours.
Landon Price
well, what did you try so far?
William Baker
Do you have trouble reading the SQL data, or do you have trouble formatting the data into a table?
Nathan White
You could do that if you want. Having a separate api.site.com is not necessary but will work fine if you want to do it that way. Usually the RESTful way to do things is just do something like site.com/posts or site.com/users etc. or you could namespace it like site.com/api/users if you want.
Leo Bell
>REM or EM You could use both, but read up on them because they give fucked up results if you misunderstand them. Try them out. I see you have two , Im pretty sure your "supposed" to only have one. But it will work though. >I want to have options at the top for different pages relating to navigating the website for information and one at the bottom for credits, about us, contact, employment, etc. Things that relate to who made the site and things about the sites contributors you know. Alright, so its the positioning thats the issue? Force the position of NavBar2?
Luis Jones
I'm pretty sure I read in the SQL data correctly. Its how to manipulate it is where I'm having trouble.
I'm trying to come up with a for loop where variable $r is equal to how many rows there are in the database.
Here's some pseudocode to show you what I'm going for
//1 represents first name //2 represents last name
Rows in the database are id, first name, last name.
Ryan Fisher
I don't think that's how you make loops in php, or am I wrong? Shouldn't it be //1 represents first name //2 represents last name
endfor; ?>
if you use the colon syntax for your for loops? Also you should check the output of your sql command. Just print everything between tags. Btw, I don't use php so I can't help you further.
Does foreach loop go in reverse, as in if I had a database like this:
id. FirstName LastName 1. BOB SMITH 2. TOM SMITH 3. JOHN SMITH
The foreach loop would print
JOHN SMITH TOM SMITH BOB SMITH
Because the reason I'm working with a for loop is that I want to print out the names from the highest id to the lowest id.
Connor Rogers
here
I found out how to solve my issue
When getting the query in , add an "ORDER by ID DESC"
as in
$query = "SELECT * FROM database ORDER by ID DESC"
As for the loop, I just used a while loop

why do i feel like bootstrap 2 was so much better and simplistic than bootstrap 3? i've switched to 3 long ago but i still kinda miss 2. please tell me i'm not the only one ;-;
Dominic Robinson
why do you write code that you won't be able to recognize a month later? why don'tyou just use a template engine so that your code won't look as messy as this one?
what cheap shared hosting do you suggest? I found about neostrada and buyshared, I just don't know which one to trust.
I'm just starting to learn about this and I want to spend the less money possible

This is probably a stupid question, but I'm confused about what this company wants for their job interview test. Basically they asked me for wireframes and examples of the graphical user interface.
Wireframes are no problem, but I'm unsure about what they actually mean when they say graphical user interface. Do they want mockups showing the design, as in colors and font? Or do they want me to make and interactive prototype, showing the user interaction?
>pls help
Chase Foster
The design I believe.

Django retard reporting in. Does anyone know how I have have every page direct to the login page if a user is logged out? Basically the only thing that should be seen is the login page if they're logged out.
Joseph Smith
If true this layout if false other
Angel Kelly
you can use session or token authentication with cookies, and if the user is not logged in, you can send a 302 redirect to the login page.
The first one is made with an actual presentation framework, reveal.js
Do you recommend it, /wdg/? Are there any better, easy to use alternatives?

Studying computer science at school, taking a web dev class and learning on my own as well. What should I do to increase my chances of getting a job as a web developer? Just create random sites and put them in a portfolio?
Kevin Phillips
What are the proes/cons of making an app in Laravel as opposed to making a SPA with something like React+Redux?
Apart from the no page reload because of routing being done client-side are there any?
Learning both Laravel and React atm and so far the MVC architecture of the php framework feels so comfy compared to state-managing-component cluster-fuck of an overly large SP React app.
Guess I should more into Redux but not sure if it's worth it.
Blake Phillips

Jace Morris
>Just create random sites and put them in a portfolio?
Yes, that's exactly what you do. Make them complex. User login systems with friend lists and messaging etc. The more shit you shove into each site the better off you'll be.
Liam Foster
Fuck off and actually learn CSS you faggot.
Jack Harris
Is there a lightweight command line utility that takes HTML as stdin, filters it by element types, classes, ids, etc, and spits it out to stdout, so it can be piped easily?
Preferably not written in ruby, python, js, or go. Something that will probably already exist on somebody's install, like perl, sh, or C.

so an HTML parser? only ones i found were by googling

hey /wdg/,
How do I figure out what this piece of code does? I suspect it loads up some ads or some shit. How do I go about decoding this?

ps: dashes in script tags... so I don't get autobanned.

it does just inject ad scripts. Sup Forums won't let me post it because it's considered spam. pastebin.com/QUH4YZrt

thanks so much user!! how did you go about decoding this stuff? pls tell me.
Jack Lopez
run it through any js formatter and unescape the escape sequences.
Jaxson Gonzalez
hey /wdg/, stupid question(s) here. if I designed a website for someone from scratch how would they manage it or update it on their own? for example if they want a blog section or a news section. Would I need to convert that entire site into wordpress?
And after they have their domain name along with a place to host, what are some good site managers that would cover this?

I've scored a gig as a html+css dev, but I have the option, to move to Backend as I know a little bit of PHP and JS. This would mean better salary.
I've used PHP in and out for about a year and a half, made some apps using frameworks like symfony and cake, but it was mainly stackoverflowing shit I needed. Now I need to step up my game. What are suitable resources for a non-beginner, non-advanced dev for PHP (OOP, etc.).

A kid asked me to design a custom theme wordpress blog he will use for adsense in the next five years.

I'm using request.js and want to limit the request rate I do against a server.
require('http').globalAgent.maxSockets = 1; var request = require('request');
for(var i = 0; i++; i < 10) request(url, function(err, res, body){ ... } }
I thought using globalAgent.maxSockets = 1 would work but it doesn't seem to do shit.
