Re: Contest based on number of times page is accessed (3 replies, posted in Programming)
It is as of now seperate, I think I will integrate it into punbb though.
It will be on a site with no forums or things of such nature. I do however quite like a lot of punbb's source so I may do it that way. Any help / advice would be great on this matter.

Hey I like that idea. I was thinking of doing the same thing.
I'll take a quick look through. (no forums right?)
Were you thinking DB schematics aswell or is that a secondary thought?
Do you have an im?

Topic: Contest based on number of times page is accessed (3 replies, posted in Programming)
*Seperate from punbb
Okay, I am creating a contest where the winner will be #x viewer to the page. But.. it gets a bit more complicated than that.
For example let's say:
- This page is accessed from another page using a form
- People can attempt at winning every 24 hours
- People are registered users
- The 100th person is the winner
Now I believe I would need two tables to do this. A users table and a contest table. The contest table would create a new row that includes the username, ip adress, and current time, only if 24 hours have passed, since the last time that user had created a row.
Now I know my code is completely wrong on this one. I do plan on rewriting it. Don't focus on the code too much. The comments in it are okay, I am mainly looking for suggestions on how to go about creating this little script.
<?php
//Get the required db connection info
require 'config.php';
//Make sure they use the form to access this page
if (isset($_POST['submit'])
{
//Query the database for the user viewing this page
$query = 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='.$username;
$result = mysql_query($query) or die ('Could not get username:' . mysql_error());
//If the field last_try is not empty and the current time since that field has been modified is greater than 24 hours we update
if (!empty($result['last_try'] && $result['last_try'] >= //24 HOURS????)
{
}
//If last_try is empty we will insert the current time
if (empty($result['last_try'])
{
$query = 'INSERT INTO users (last_try) VALUES (NOW())';
$result = mysql_query($query) or die ('Could not insert last try:' . mysql_error());
}
//Query the database for all last_try values
$query = 'SELECT * FROM users';
$result = mysql_query($query) or die ('Could not get users:' . mysql_error());
//If there are the right number of attempts at the challenge, the user wins
if (num_rows($result['last_try']) == $win)
{
function win;
}
//If there are not the right number of attempts, the user does not win
if(num_rows($result['last_try'] != $win)
{
function loss;
}
}
//If this page was not accessed using the form on previous page then give an error message
else
{
echo 'This page must be accessed from the '.$pagename.' page';
}

Re: Where to go from here? (2 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
Good idea thanks.
It is for a fairly small niche demographic. I guess you could say it is a clan site; however, it is more related to this challenge system I'm developing. Its based on improvisational skill of players in Tony Hawk games. Basically people have to judge it, its not like in game scores and stuff. Its a bit hard to explain. But Ill do my best on the front page, and update here after I finish.

edit: My browser goes wonky when I view the page? I am using opera 9, could it be something to do with the rss feed on the page?
It seems to work perfectly fine in FF and IE tab (FF add-on); although it does look better in regular FF.
I have had this problem on other pages on my site with opera before. 
Hmm, it isn't screwing up in Opera now. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
Anyway, any new ideas for the page would be great!

Yea, I was just checking out firebug. I remember now why FF was a love hate relationship. The ram usage just got out of control with add ons. The extra features were just so nice though. I think ill stick to editing in notepad++ (will prolly end up being faster for me anyway lol).

Re: Edit CSS Live! (9 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
Okay, its just because I recently reinstalled my OS, and have switched to using lighter software like notepad++ instead of dreamweaver and Opera instead of FF. I guess Ill use FF when I do some dev stuff like that then. Tamper Data, No script, and IE tab are some of my favourites in FF anyway.
Im looking through FF addons, do you remember what the thing is called?
"Stylish"?
