Reprogrammed Part Of Site News Section

Red Squirrel · Post by **Red Squirrel** » Mon Jun 09, 2003 11:11 pm

I added a feature on the submit news script so that it shows "view article at {selected site}" so that way when you pick the logo, it will not only show the logo on the news but also the name of the site. this is mostly for search engines.

I had to reprogram the database structure (fun fun) and as well as manually rewrite the database to fit the new method of reading it so it does not get mixed up.

Everything went pretty smoothly except for one little thing that I managed to work. If you were viewing the home page you might of seen some funny pictures as I was testing things out.

Next feature on there will be a feedback form, but I doubt it will be used much so I probably won't make one, but the database is already designed to support it so it should go well to add it whenever I want to program it.

Woah that freaked me out, I decided to see if my networking article got a decent amount of hits and I got a 404, and I realized all articles where that way. Turns out I put <a href="2"> instead of <font size="2">. don't ask.

Whops, did that one too many times too.

I once forgot to close the <b> tag in an article I wrote, and I never noticed since the way it works is that the actual article is just a plain html file with no site layout formatting so my name in bold was the last thing, but when the site parsed it into the layout, everything after was bold, so I thought it was my script, but I noticed other articles were ok, took me a while to figure out it was the actual article and nothing to do with my script.

But the worse is in dos, putting deltree/y instead of xcopy
