nice skin... little bit of critism thou...

the background could do with a little work, it tiles on a big resolution and looks horrible not only that it takes forever to load.

everything seems a little small although that might not be a bad thing but accessibility is something that i always monitor closely in a skin.

also you need a little more contrast between everything.. it just feels like its all one colour... not good lol

other than that i think it's a nice skin

Dunno if this has been posted before, but I've seen it on several forums and it's really amusing :P What you do is this: You write the name of a song and add "in my pants" at the end.

EXAMPLE:
Arctic Monkeys - When The Sun Goes Down In My Pants
Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars In My Pants
My Chemical Romance - Teenagers In My Pants
Plain White T's - Hey There Delilah In My Pants
Fall Out Boy - Thanks For The Memories In My Pants
Green Day - Holiday In My Pants
Feeder - Lost And Found In My Pants
The Fratellis - Chelsea Dagger In My Pants

It can be really funny at times. :D

i'm not javascript either but i have got 8 years php coding under my belt... so it's pretty much the same principle... but studying other peoples codes IS a big help... I wouldn't RIP anyone's code though. I'd use it and completely change everything... break it and then fix it again. i've taught several people php myself and as a tutor i understand that breaking things down into smaller pieces is the best way to learn... don't just jump in at the deep end as you'll get bored and end up giving up. ease yourself in with simple scripts and then once you've got a basic understanding go onto advanced tutorials that deal with the more extensive parts of javascript and you'll be well on your way...

You've got to think the guys on this forum have been doing this for years to get as good as they are now. but they all started off the same knowing minimal stuff to get them through.

I'd maybe throw in a brief section using INSERT INTO so they can see how to add a PM too. Great tutorial otherwise though.


that will be in part two lol as well as a few other features.

Using .htaccess to block hotlinking.


RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www\.)?yoursite.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule \.(gif|jpg|png)$ http://www.yoursite.com/path/to/hotlink.jpg [R=302,L]


by putting that in your directory you can stop anyone hotlinking your files basically you can put in a picture (hotlink.jpg) that says that this file has been hotlinked ...

nice if your getting constantly ripped lol.

edit: note you can add any file extension to this... just add the extensioin to the (gif|jpg|png) part

edit2: make sure you change the yoursite.com to your actual domain [thanks wrighty] lol

there is a nice little htaccess hack to stop hotlinking... not really useful if you need to hotlink them yourself... BUT a little trick you can do is have two image folders... anything for your site that you don't want hotlinking in one and any others in the other one. using mod_rewrite you can then check to see if the request is coming from the server that the image is hosted on. If its not you can automatically change it to another image.

i'll see if i can remember how to do it and if i can i'll write a small tutorial on how to do it. could be useful for people.

sounds good.. i was a big cod4 fan... cod5 i haven't played yet... people saying its too much like cod4 and there isn't really much difference.

if they had the character customization it would be alot better for multiplayer... you could make distiguishable characters so you know exactly who is who... i mean no-one looks the same in the real world unless your twins obviously... so what makes virtual worlds any different?

AGREED !!! lol

Nice tutorial; I'm sure it will help a lot of people in a lot of different ways (the fact that you mix sessions and MySQL).


thanks... I will try to cover this a bit more in the next part.

In regards to your GET, I don't know why, but as a personal coding standard, i try to avoid using @ if possible. Instead i use something like:

$id = isset($_GET['id']) ? $_GET['id] : null;

if($id) {
// if the id exists
} else {
// fail.
}




i've never seen it done like that... but i'm just lazy hence the reason why i use the @ lol




thanks *takes a bow* lol
