Yeah that's my only hang up right now. Ideally a bulk hosting option would be nice and the CEO said it was being looked into ( I have been pestering him over email ). If you have < 10 sites it's on par with other services like wpengine which charges $30 minimum for 1 site. Flywheel is $15 minimum for tiny sites.

Is changing the browser mode in IE Developer Tools a completely accurate way to test your sites in old versions of IE?

The various IE compatibility modes aren't complete emulations, and they even add some quirks of their own. Nothing can really replace the real thing, so running a VM or something like BrowserStack is probably your best bet.

If I was hosting my private Wordpress site going with something like OpenShift or a VPS would be my choice hands down. Most if not all of the client sites will be for businesses and being able to say they have malware protection, auto backups, built-in caching, and managed updates without me lifting a finger is pretty ideal. Plus it's all managed from one account. The customer support has been rock solid too, very quick response time. I haven't had to manage a lot of Wordpress sites before, I imagine doing it individually would suck.

Yeah, I'm currently running multiple versions of IE via Virtualbox. I was just curious if it's overkill or not. Sounds like it's not. Do you have any specific examples of how the dev tool emulators differ from the actual browsers?

For me, the biggest issue with testing in IE9+ F12 tools like that is Javascript performance. People are pretty good about dealing with visual quirks at this point, but man those old IE browsers performed like poo poo. Emulated IE7 is a ton faster than real IE7, so that's going to skew you too. If you really have to be lazy for whatever reason and not use a VM, use IETester. It sucks too, but it's not going to mislead you as much in my experience. glompix fucked around with this message at 16:04 on Sep 12, 2013 |

A fellow intern and I have been trying to find an answer to this. It's probably obvious but not to us. A client wants to receive an email notification whenever a file is uploaded (successfully) to their server. We're not necessarily looking for the uploaded item to be attached but just an email saying something along the lines of 'filename.filetype uploaded at time' or something like that. So far all I've managed to find is the standard contact form information, which I think isn't what we need. Any suggestions/help?

If so it's very easy. There's probably a function run if the upload is successful, so just piggyback off that, and put the mailer in there.

Run a cron job on the server that looks for files modified after the last time the cron job ran (a find command will do this for you) and poop out an email with the list if there were any results.

danse macabre posted:The URL is here: http://hanzidata.com/ Seems to be working fine for me on FF 23.0.1. On a side note, you might want to consider bundling your CSS into one file on deployment (and potentially minifying it). I made 5 requests to your server for CSS files - Firefox defaults to a max of 4 connections per host, so I'm not loading any of those images while waiting for all the CSS files to come back. Also, turn HTTP compression on and set some caching headers for your static content. EDIT: Noticed some more things. Your X-UA-Compatible meta tag needs to be the first tag in <head> (because IE is dumb like that). Consider moving your Javascript to the end of the <body> element since DOM loading is halted while JS is executing. Bognar fucked around with this message at 16:20 on Sep 14, 2013 |

Grr, why is there no HTTP code for "update DNS"? We're moving a site to a different hosting company for a client and I want to make sure that people aren't hitting the old site if their DNS doesn't propagate quickly. My current solution is to just set up a redirect from the old site to the new IP. While that will work, it may be confusing to the users since the URL will change (e.g. http://1.2.3.4/web/site vs http://www.site.com/web/site). What I really want is an HTTP code that says "IP changed to ..." or "refresh your DNS" so that it's transparent to the user, but I don't really see a good solution anywhere.

I recently discovered Dash and it has been an incredible boost to my productivity. Can't remember what a function does? Select and Ctrl-H from Sublime Text and boom, instant documentation. It also integrates with Alfred (and a bunch of other apps). It's really really cool for a idea so simple.

I was looking into that this morning and I might set it up that way (they have a dedicated box, so it shouldn't be an issue). After talking with my boss, we may just turn the other site off completely and if people call into complain just ask that they Ctrl+F5. The TTL on our DNS is set to 1 hour and we plan to change it to 5 minutes the morning we plan to make the switch. Our client is fine with a bit of downtime, so this may be acceptable.

What's a "best practice" when it comes to amount of JavaScript on a page? Client wanted yet another carousel (in addition to the two existing ones) but upon initializing the third I now get the unresponsive JavaScript popup in Firefox referring to jQuery. If I search for .js I see 20 external .js files If I search for simply <script, I get 48 results. Yes I realized this includes the aforementioned 20. Is this too much JavaScript on a single page? Some of the JavaScript is social buttons and tracking.

If you're serving most of those scripts yourself, it probably won't hurt to minify/compress and serve them together as one file. Few requests at least. Are you reusing the same carousel code?

I'll see about combining, I may not be able to all of it since some .js is on some pages that isn't on others, thankfully it seems some JavaScript is superfluous given all the iterations of the page. Minifying of course will be an option.

Someone help me understand how browsers work with Ajax. I load up a page in my browser and it makes an ajax call. The ajax is calling a php script that takes 20 seconds to execute. If I hit F5 on my browser at 10 seconds into the ajax call, the browser doesn't start refreshing until 10 seconds later when the ajax is done. Is there a way to make the browser bail out of the ajax quicker? I'm using jQuery to make the request.

Sep 19, 2013 19:22

Are you making the AJAX request synchronously (e.g. 'async: false')? That will force the browser to wait for the request to finish before doing anything else in that tab.

Can someone point out what's wrong with my page? The logo is suppose to be just a few spaces away from the text. http://pipnee.com/P8357B1CA Strangely, it displays correctly on my laptop but here at the desktop, the logo is far away almost to the center of the page. On the iPad it's worst off with the text overlapping on the logo but I guess that's a given how small the screen is. I just got back into coding this one time in a long time so I'm pretty sure there's something I missed and hopefully you guys would be able to help me out.
