Assignment 11 – Rich Text Editor (RTE)

GOT IT TO WORK!!!!
I went to a php web blog (http://www.daniweb.com) and found an answer.
Place the following code at the top of the php page:
Inside the php tags –

if (!isset($_SESSION)) {
session_start();
}

SUDDEN NEW ISSUE on March 23
I was in class yesterday and found out that I did not quite have the RTE quite right. My RTE_test page works fine but I had not set it up to edit a secondary page ie: About.

ERRORS:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function rte() in /home/content/f/d/s/fdsseattle/html/itc_280/soccer/about_us.php on line 18
Cannot send session cache limiter

The code I am placing is:
rte(4,’600′,’600′,’Default’);
inside of the standard php tags

I have placed this on every single line and tested and I get the same error. I am a bit stumped. Trying to talk with other students who have had the same issue. Seems like the JS function is not being called correctly.

This assignment has allowed me to create an area for the use of a Rich text Editor for my pages of products.

I did not really have any issues with getting this to work I had done this in Monday’s class following along with Bill.

Assignment 9 – Admin

This was a tricky one again. What I have just found out is that GoDaddy does not allow me to name my database a specific name, only the table that gets referenced. After loads of scratching my head and asking Bill. I have found my issue.
A couple of things have come to mind.

  • The database name is or can be different than the table that is being called ie: as in my case.
  • I had some extra references that were calling Muffins. I found this and corrected to Soccer.

Index
Spreadsheet

Issues:

  • Database would not load – Access denied….wrong database name
  • I was having some issue with how many files we have with this assignment. I was a bit confused how they all work together.
  • Now that I can log in as “developer” I can see how each page works

Thank you Bill for all of your help.

Time spent:
5 hours over a week.

Assignment 7 – List/View

This has been a tricky one to get to work. I have decided to keep the Muffins file. Will change to more soccer related soon.

List/View
Spreadsheet

    My issues have been all over the board:

  • First it was connecting to my server through Godaddy
  • Fixed this issue, now I had to create the table. This was hard to figure out
  • Got it. Getting the list to work on my model_list.php was a headache.
  • Started to have errors of all sorts. Finally got it to work without the header and footer
  • Got the header and footer to work but not model_view.php
  • I have this crazy error that asks for my database. However the name of my database is tblMuffins
  • The erros are asking for falconermark.tblMuffins…what the heck is this.
  • Struggling to get this right. Hopefully this will just happen. I have also noted that the header and footer will not load.

Time spent: 6 hours in total, still not quite there. Moving onto Paging assignment.

I Got it.

Everything works. I had to start this entire project from scratch. My older order was all out of whack. now we are much better.

  • The Main Navigation works

Time spent: 4 hours

Assignment 5 – phpMinAdmin

This project has been a hard one to figure out. I have finally got the log-in onto my template with a nav link. I now have access to the page from class. My biggest challenge has been talking with my hosting company, GoDaddy. All sorts of hoops to jump through but i did get the information I needed to log-in.

View here, click on nav link (MySQL log-in)
Spreadsheet

Issues:

  • CSS not reading correctly on the phpMinAdmin. I have seen what it looks like on other classmates machines. I am trying to figure out what I have done. THIS WORKS NOW!!
  • My database is not set up yet. I have a choice of using Zephir or my hosting company – GoDaddy. I think it will be GoDaddy once I figure out how to get onto my database server.  THIS WORKS NOW!!!!!
  • I would like to get my log-in to match my own CSS, this will be a challenge I plan to conquer.

Time: 2.5 hours

Assignment 4 – ReCaptcha Form

Today we had to add the Recaptcha Form to our template site. This took some work but we were able to get it working correctly. Pretty cool addition to my site.

The finished file is viewable at: ReCaptcha Form

The errors I found were:

  • First thing I tried to do was install the ReCaptcha at school
  • Major errors were found, do to I had not put in the Public/Private Keys and the PHP includes quite in the right places of my site, as I am not using Zephir.
  • Once all errors were fixed I started putting in the CSS
  • This looked good, but I felt the site needed more character. I therefore added some graphics to the header, background and then I tried adding the transparency background.

Time:

Start to finish was roughly 2.5 hours

Assignment 3 – Troubleshooting

Today we had to find ten errors in the code that Bill gave us. This was rather hard and time consuming as php is very new to me.

One of the first operations was taking the Microsoft Word file and bringing it into a text editor. What came with the file was and
tags, which inserted throughout the code file. So, some clean up had to be done immediately before I could start.

The finished file is viewable at: adder.php

The errors I found were:

  • <? is wrong, should have been <?php
  • removed minus – next to = Changed N to n
  • Changed N to n
  • Changed ” to ‘
  • Changed ‘ to”
  • Capitalized php_self
  • Changed ” to ‘ and
  • Changed ‘ to”
  • ” for href and added ;
  • Removed \ from <\form

Time:

Start to finish was roughly 4 hours over three days
