I have been thinking about adding a section to the site for designs and templates.  In this section you will have free, exclusive, limited, and unlimited designs.

Free: meaning this can be downloaded at no cost as many times as users want with no premium.

Exclusive: meaning this can only be downloaded once for a premium.  All rights will be transferred to the buyer.

Limited: meaning a design can be downloaded only 1-3 times before it is retired.  Rights will not be transferred to the buyer.

Unlimited: meaning this can be downloaded as many times by users for a smaller premium.

Templates will include Photoshop/Illustrator files with optional HTML files.  Request for HTML versions of the design can be requested.

Have you ever created a page that has hidden div containers that are activated by a link that has a slide down effect on it?  In case you haven’t there is a slight problem when displaying content that needs to be shown and slid down when the trigger is at the bottom of the browser window.  It is quite possible the visitor may never see the effect or the content.

The code below will help with this issue:


function slide_body(container, duration)
{
window.setTimeout( function() {
var p = $(container).position();
var h = $(container).height();
var s = p.top + h;

$('html,body').animate( { scrollTop:s }, 1000 );
}, duration);
}

container (block level element) – the container of the content that is being shown
examples: ‘#container’, ‘.container’, ‘p .container’…

duration (time in milliseconds) – the time it takes for the animation of the sliding content

Comments and questions welcome… video coming soon!

For about 2-3 hours I was sifting through the support forums and blogs throughout the web and was not able to find a fix for this weird bug/feature in the Wordpress (there were a few fixes but none of them worked for this instance).

Lets say you have a developer that needs to work on one of the sites that you are hosting on your web server in your basement and you don’t want them to have free range to everything on the box.  Another piece of this is you really don’t want the user to have SSH access either.

Well it is finally launched!  UPWebDesign.com just got a face lift, thanks to the much appreciated reminder of the horrific glowing green version of the past from a fellow PHP programmer/guru, Chris Clark.  Thanks buddy!

I never really thought about using a framework for PHP.  Mostly because I know PHP’s native functions well enough to create anything I needed from scratch.  The problem is time consumption with repetitive code and writing it out every time I needed it.
