  1. Can I get some help with my terrible PHP logic? I am attempting to generate alternating CSS classes, even and odd. So I wrote this little function: function doAlt($n) { if ($n % 2) { echo('odd'); }else{ echo('even'); } } I figured how to output like this: for ($i = 0; $i <= 10; $i++) { echo doAlt($i).$i."<br>"; } Resulting HTML is this: even0 odd1 even2 odd3 even4 odd5 even6 odd7 even8 odd9 even10 So far, so good! Here is where I inserted it into my code: <section> <ul> <?php $blogpages = $pages->get("/blog/"); $children = $blogpages->children; $children->prepend($blogpages); foreach($children as $child) { // my function to print even or odd for alternating CSS classes for($i=0;$i<=10;$i++){ echo "<li>"; echo "<h3>{$child->title}</h3> \n"; echo doAlt($i).$i; echo "{$child->snippet} \n"; echo "</li> \n"; } } ?> </ul> </section> The resulting HTML is each blog entry repeating multiple times, in this case $i=<10, so ten times. I did it like that to see how it would print/echo out before I stuck it in my CSS. How can I give each entry a different CSS class?

  3. Since Dropbox only syncs ONE folder (with its many subfolders). Does anyone use any file-sync utility to sync those folders with any path OUTSIDE of Dropbox (on Windows)? For example: My dropbox is here: C:/users/Dad/Dropbox/ But I want to sync the following with Dropbox: C:/www/testing/website.dev/
  4. To give you some ideas, here is what I do. I append my site name to the end of every <title>, it helps with SEO, bookmarks, etc. OrganizedFellow.com To the left of that I prepend the category name, whether it be Blog/Article, Products, Contact Page, About, etc. Blog | OrganizedFellow.com To the left of that I prepend the title of the page itself. I took up jogging | Blog | OrganizedFellow.com Contact Me | organizedfellow.com Screws and Nails | Products | OrganizedFellow.com There is no ONE way. Feel free to do it how you like.
  5. All projects, lists, tasks, etc. begin as handwritten notes. They end up in Trello. All collaboration between myself and client is done via Gmail. Google Calender for important dates. I used to have a very complicated process involving more apps (I cut back A LOT!) I use the username OrganizedFellow because I cope very well with my ADHD I use RescueTime to manage my productivity. When I reach 80%, I treat myself to a beer, lol
  6. Now THAT'S ORGANIZED fellow!
  7. ha, thanks Pete, but I'm sure it depends on the shit! As long as I know the subject matter, I can write up any analogy for it, lol.
  8. For a number of decades, there was over 50% vehicle ownership of Ford automobiles. Were they the best? Nope, heck no, not by a long shot. Things changed at some point, and Chevy, Chrysler, AMG, and many others sprouted greater/better ideas. Muscle cars were born. Economy cars took reign. I'm not impressed with which sales are the highest, which has a higher user base, or which is wanted more *cough*iApple*cough*WordPress*cough* I am impressed when the underdog brings to the light the customization, the ingenuity, the talent, the speed ... that's impressive.
  9. I came across this today https://www.openshift.com/blogs/4-reasons-paas-is-perfect-for-your-startup Now I am very interested in OpenShift.
  10. I really like the way you advertise ProcessWire with the sticky logo. Very cool! On projects page, 3 of 4 posts contain screenshots. It kind of breaks the visual rhythm. I like the idea of the Table of Contents in each post. It makes reading long posts easy. Maybe bookmarkable URLs for tutorials or super long posts?
  11. For fun, you should put in some Easter Egg after someone enters the Konami Code
  12. I am accountable for 138 posts. You're welcome!
  13. There's not much to learn. Well, for me, I have found it to be really quite easy to use and generate a quick layout.
  14. one word. FAWESOME! I used to be such a CMS whore back in the day. I was always on the search for the bigger better badder CMS to manage my/client websites. For many years, I was happy with ExpressionEngine (I used pMachine for a while, too), but I left it when I discovered ProcessWire last year. I will be using ProcessWire for many years to come. The fact that you chose ProcessWire over all the others CMSs that you've encountered speaks volumes about its strengths and adaptability.
  15. I agree, I am really liking it also. Since I installed Tiny Tiny RSS and my friend recommended Feedly, I've used it all this week actually, hah!
  16. ha yes, it was just a slip. I really wanted to just start over with my feeds. I have added it to my new collection. AH, Twitter, I had/have an account. I just may have to start another thread and get re-started on "Who To Follow"
  17. I used to be a long time user of Google Reader. Then sometime last year, I simply stopped using it. I stopped visiting the sites I relied on for so long for web dev and design news, tips/tricks, inspiration, etc. Now that Reader is dead, I decided to get back into RSS, so I downloaded/installed Tiny Tiny RSS. My question for you friends: what web design/development related blogs/feeds to you recommend? Of course I have some of the most popular ones: Noupe, CSS Tricks, Smashing Magazine. What else do you recommend? [Friend recommended Feedly, which I am really liking at the moment ]
  18. Foundation4 by far been my favorite framework of choice. Sublime2 + Emmet plugin & Foundation4 = some pretty quick layouts.
  19. Count me in as well. However it appears no one is commenting.
  20. Upon launch, my SublimeText2 is very slow to load. Win7 64bit 4GB RAM. I've removed as many plugins (that I don't use) but loading times are around 15-20 seconds. Hopefully upgrading to version 3 takes care of that.
  21. Here are some excellent GIT tutorials: GIT: 01. 02. http://git-scm.com/book 03. http://try.github.com/ 04. http://sixrevisions.com/resources/git-tutorials-beginners/ 05. http://overapi.com/git/
  22. Using phpmyadmin: 1. mywebsite.com 2. go to mywebsite.com/phpmyadmin and select database and click export and click GO. DONE! Using php script: 1. mywebsite.com/securebackup DONE! NOTE: I've actually been using adminer (http://www.adminer.org/) instead of phpmyadmin. Super tiny script. Fast. Easy
  23. That is what I have started to do locally. Anywhere I drive, I see a vehicle advertising some business. Sometimes they have a URL, sometimes not. I usually get a photo to remind myself later. I save the photo with some information to my Evernote account. I have over 40 photos in there right now, of local area businesses, address, phone numbers, etc. I have categorized most of those businesses into categories and plan on building several turnkey websites and sell them. Most are restaurants, landscaping, home maintenance & general repairs. When I lived in Fort Worth TX, I knew a fellow who was quite successful with this idea. He recently had some great luck with selling one for a bar/restaurant. Anytime he went out to eat, he took a few notes and implemented a new feature to the website. He spent a few months building it in his spare time. When it was ready, it was put online. Then he visited the bars and restaurants that did NOT have a website, and gave them the URL and his email address. It was a fun bidding war He didn't tell me exactly how much he made on that one sale, but did mention it was over $4,000. I was impressed! I agree with this. I'm not as good as my buddy in Fort Worth. I'm still learning PHP at a snails pace. My front-end skills are well rounded. I am having a tough time getting businesses around here to understand the value of advertising their business on the Internet. One gentleman was content with spending a few thousand dollars per year on print advertising. I can't understand his logic I do visit him from time to time, but he is a stubborn mule, lol. When in Fort Worth, I would regularly bill between $2,000-3,000 per site. Now I'm lucky to have someone agree to $1,000. It's quite a slap in the face I totally agree with totoff on this, don't tell others about the lower rates you've had to settle for. "Why are you charging me $2,000 when you charged him $1,000?" It's tough for customers/clients to understand they are paying for your experience, knowledge and skill set.
