Mega holster maker's links list - thread updated - Page 6

If you'd like, I could make you a simple mysql database with a simple add/delete form. Then, I'd make the page PHP and loaded from the table. No more inserting alphabetically. It would take me about an hour, and I could leave the look identical to this page. Then, adding or deleting a link would literally take you about 15 seconds.

morin ........ good idea that is and thx for offer .... when the page started it was a quick html throw together ... but it grew and I just put up with it! If I had taken more time initially I'd have cut a load of code anyways with css control.

If you want to try that fine - let me know later if you manage. I'll check out some details with you then. I run vertrigo on my puter for php files so that should help too. PHP codewizard however I am not - at least not in depth.

P95Carry,
Please add my site to the mega list at your convenience. Thanks for all the hard work you're putting in to make this list possible.

What I'll do is build it tonight after the game. I hand code everything, so you can just insert it into your page. I'll send you a pm when I'm done, and you can send me your email address. I'll send you the files to build and populate the table, a code snippet to insert into your web page in place of the table, and a php file to add and delete entries. I'll give you instructions on how to set it up. You should be able to do it in 5-10 minutes once I send it.

Sure thing ......... but just for now I'll tack you on the ''overflow'' bit at bottom - as seems with morintp's help we might make the thing more versatile.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

morin just saw your post - great and thx. I'll wait for a PM from you when convenient and reply with my email - you'll need to give me yours for my spam filter too!

One last question, do you want a text name for each link instead of displaying the hyperlink? Like displaying "Bianchi" instead of "http://www.bianchi.com" Either way is just as quick and easy. Just let me know...

Pitmaster · December 6th, 2007, 08:31 PM

Text name would be my preference but my opinion doesn't count in this discussion.

P95Carry · December 6th, 2007, 08:39 PM

I guess text name is OK but I put full link as a sorta added precaution in case someone chooses to print the page off for ref.

Sometimes there are a few I haven't truncated when I could have ... but most were copied and pasted of course... www.domain.com/index.html is of course longer than needed.

I do add a 'title' to each link - usually just showing the name but occasionally adding other info if useful. Plus as total lazy butt - still employ the much xhtml deprecated target="_blank"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Boomsticksholsters is added but in fact in one spare cell of main section - at the end - making it temporarily out of alphabetical order for now.

Thanks! Good luck with the rebuild.

Interim update ...... our quite new member morintp - I owe him a debt of gratitude!

He volunteered to recode the page such that future edits would be a breeze - to which end he wrote a very effective editing page for me.

We are all but done - (poor guy has had two very long phone sessions with me - patience was outanding) and I just need to work out some SQL permissions finally to make the new page go live. It should look all but the same in fact.

For a bit longer it'll be the old page - but I have to convey mega thanks to this guy - he has been so helpful.

I'll mention once we are changed over.
