In reply to: [Contact Form DB] Customise the database columnsThanks for getting back to me.
There doesn’t seem to be a particular order in which i receive my data and i want to know how to configure it so that i receive the data as i explained in my first post.
How can i show you how i receive the data?
Can i attache a file here? If so can you explain how please.
As you can see on the order form i made. We have a choice of motorbikes for rent or for sale and we have a selection of different brands, harley davidson, yamaha, buell etc. Then underneath we have retal period check boxes and drop down boxes for the date they want to rent for.
When testing the form and the database this information does display in the database as id like. Under my “motorbikes” column I can see that the person wants to “rent” rather than “buy” then i have columns for the different models of motorbikes which is fine, and next i can see that they want to rent for a certain amount of days, next i can see on what particular dates they are interested in hiring.
So far so good.
The rest of the data from this point is not organised how i want it. The next section is for merchandise and i have “Mugs & Cups” and i have “collectables”. I want the user to be able to choose the item code from the dropdown box and choose the quantity which is next to it. The same principle needs to continue throughout the database
I want to see my database looking like this;
Mugs & Cups Quantity Collectables Quantity Sunglasses Quantity
MG001 X2 COL002 X3 ACC002 X3
MG005 X4 COL003 X2 ACC005 X4But when i tried to use the same shortcode [mugs & cups] for three dropdown boxes i was only given one result. So for each of the dropdown boxes i changed it to [mugs & Cups] [mugs & cups 1] and [mugs & cups 2]. If this is the only way to get the results then i want the database to look like this;
Mugs & Cups Quantity Mugs & Cups 1 Quantity 1 Mugs & Cups2 Quantity2
MG001 X2 MG002 X4 MG006 X2In the database it looks like this;
MugsCups Quantity Collectables Collectables Quantity1 Sunglasses Gloves MugsCups1 Quantity2 Quantity3
These are the column titles, not enough room on the screen.
I hope this explains a little bit more about my problem and what i want to achieve.
I want to know what i need to do to receive my data in an orderly fashion, product-quantity-product -quantity-product-quantity.
Not, product -quantity-product-quantity-product-product-product-quantity-quantity – quantity-your name- – quantity – your email – quantity etc
Thanks

In reply to: [Contact Form DB] Customise the database columnsI have just noticed that my contact form looks different in firefox compared to google chrome.
I built it in google chrome and just checked it in firefox and its changed.
Anyone got any ideas?
Im hoping some help is out their, im thinking of starting over and completely changing the way i set up this form. Its a shame because i spent so long building it and in google chrome it looks good.
I need the form to function correctly and i need it to look the same in all of the browsers.
Help me please.
Kind regards

In reply to: text wrapping nextgen slideshowHi I would just like to say thanks for the help you have given me. I have taken a quick look at the again and figured out where i need to be placing a piece of code that you have previously suggested to somebody else.
Everything is done now with that particular problem. I think i wil start to study the W3school website a bit over the coming weeks. There seems to be some useful stuff on the site. It would be good to improve with the programming side of things.
Thanks again

In reply to: text wrapping nextgen slideshowYes its placed in with the short code as normal, is this whats causing me problems?
I think i just found the correct line of code that i need to edit after looking at firebug a little further.
ending in /nextgen-gallery/css/nggallery.css?ver=1.0.0 it was located in the right hand side.It said that the line of code was around 270 so i took a look and found it.
.slideshow {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
text-align: center;
outline: none;}
I tried just changing the text alignment to right instead of center but it didn’t work

In reply to: text wrapping nextgen slideshowSorry i think that was a mistake. i was looking in a shadow file
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: text wrapping nextgen slideshow@govpatel i have just inspected the slideshow with firebug and found the file:
<div id=”ngg-slideshow-2-202-1″ class=”ngg-slideshow” style=”height:240px;width:320px;”>
From here i lokked in the plugins css files for a file ending in ngg-slideshow-2 is this correct?
I went in and found the slider section as you have explained in the forum, but the file looks like the one you suggested scamdensis to change to. At the moment its
.slideshow {
float: left;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: 10px;
outline: medium none;}
I want the slideshow to float left but i want to be able to place text directly to the right of it. Have you got any suggestions for me please.
I hope it doesnt make a difference but im using the slide within some Blockquotes.
Thanks again

In reply to: text wrapping nextgen slideshowIs firebug pretty simple to use?
I have heard of it before but never felt the need to use it. I take it you inspect an element on the page and it provides you the information about the files?
When i find the file i need to change will using one of your previous sugestions be ok to replace it?
I said that i can edit the css files but im no expert, so far i have tried all of the above suggestions after finding the files but nothing worked.
I will have a go with firebug and see if i can find the correct file to edit.
I noticed that some of the css you suggest to change for the other guys on here is different from one another, how do you determine what code to use? Or am i getting ahead of myself, and thats something experienced programmers would know?
Thanks for getting back to me so promptly. I hope you wont mind if i get stuck and come back to the forum.
Thanks again

In reply to: text wrapping nextgen slideshow@govpatel you really are the man!
I cant believe ive spent the last hour trying to do this. I have just been looking on google for help but there does’t seem to be any help outside this forum, i should have checked here earlier.
I also have the same problem as the rest of the people on this forum and was just hoping you could point me in the right direction.
I know how to get in and edit the css file but im not sure which one i need to edit. I tried the first one that you suggested to theachard but it didn’t work for me.
Im also going to be adding several other small slideshows to different pages on my website. Will i need to do more css editing? P.S does using smooth gallery make a difference?

In reply to: custom sidebar for single post pages based by categoryHi dangle2k
Where do i need to place this code?
I really need to assign my categories individual sidebars.
I have a widget to create custom sidebars which i can assign to posts and pages, can i use this to create sidebars for the categories and place the name of these sidebars into the code?
Is this how you did it?
Many Thanks

In reply to: How to get the comment box to show on postsHi
I am designing a blogging website for a bar in Thailand but have never used wordpress before and never designed a blogging site before.
I am a novice when it comes to website design and i dont have and real html knowledge.
I have created a blog page and directed all new posts to be listed their but im having some problems.
When i click on a post in the blog page im not taken to the post, im just shown this message. NOT FOUND sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.
I dont understand what going on…
Do i need to create and link a separate “Page” for every post i want people to comment on?
Why can people only comment on my “Page” and not my “Post”?
I thought i could create a post and have people comment on the post? I thought that was the whole point.
When i click on my recent posts widget im given the message NOT FOUND sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here. But when i use the categories widget to find a post it opens OK but i still cant comment on the post.
Please if anyone has any advice or ideas let me know, i’m going crazy….
aussie-bar.com/rumdumbar/ is the site if anyone want to look at the code
Many thanks
