Hi, I'm currently moving a website created in HTML over to wordpress. There is a material selector function on the html website and I'm having problems finding an appropriate plugin that will work in the same way. Any that I can find are based around shopping/products. These are much too complicated for what I need. Please find a link to the current HTML 'Material Selector' http://www.seatingmatters.com/phoenix_uk.php#SWATCHES I have a feeling that I'm searching for the wrong type of plugin? Thanks in Advance

Thanks for that Blue Dreamer, much appreciated !!!

Hi Blue Dreamer, How easy is it to set an overlay page up?

Hi Junior, The client purchased a template they wanted to use and the 'home' is automatically setup at the website url. I've tried changing this to home.php but it breaks the website.

Hi folks, I'm having issues adding a simply 3 second loading page into a wordpress template. (I've been pulling my hair out since Friday) I have the loading page built and it doing what it should. (loading the main website after 10 seconds) I cant seem to change the home page url. www.urban3dwebtest2.net/landing.php this page then loads www.urban3dwebtest2.net but I cant change the template so that the home page is not www.urban3dwebtest2.net Can anyone help, I totally beat at this stage of adding new pages, changing functions.php etc, I think I've made the whole thing worse. Regards Gare

Hi folks, I have recently had issues with my websites being hacked by having code injection put on them. I have realised that at least one source stems from a contact form we had custom coded 5/6 years back. I wondered if someone could recommend a place I could purchase a HTML contact form generator which has security measures build in and that these are kept up to date. Thanks in advance...

Hi all, I have recently had the misfortune of websites the company I work for created in the last 5 years being hacked with code injection. For a quick fix I uploaded the backup files. I know this is not the solution and wanted to see if I could get some advice from you/s. 1) Is there a way I can run a check through each website to see exactly where the vulnerabilities are? 2) Am I'm right in saying that the java script being called by or in the webpage will be the issue? Do I then replace this will secure java script (does this even exist?) 3) I don't know anything about server security but would that be an area that could fix the issue without going through 1 & 2? Thanks in advance..

I've used the geoPlugin on a few occasions and its worked well since the setup. I would recommend purchasing the Premium option as there's a limit on the free version.

Hi, Can you password protect a web page with only an email prefix as the login details? For example @anywebsite.com? Thanks in advance Gar-e.

Hi Lyndsey, I'm running some javascript that lists the country and their states so the 'Please Select' is contained in the java script as another country if that makes sense? So I cannot add your piece of code to the form. Gare

Hi, I'm having a few problems with validating a form I have created. The validation was working fine using yycheckform but I've now added a country drop down list but I cant get this to work within the yycheckform validation as this sees the field as being filled with 'Please Select'. Do I have to scrap my current validation and start again? http://www.seatingmatters.com/contact.php Thanks in advance Gare

Thanks mteam! That worked a treat!

Hi, I have created a website with an accordion styled navigation. I've been asked to keep the menu open when the user clicks on a sub menu page. I have been trying all day to find a solution but to no avail. If there's anyone who could point me in the right direction of a fix or another method of creating the same naviation, I be most obliged. Here a link http://www.karrada.com/ thanks

But I think the hover state doesnt work on iphones/ipads ?

Hi Folks, I have a client who builds chairs for old peoples homes. They come in a number of colours and they wanted their distributors to have the ability to change the colour on the website themselves. They like the way mini have shown this on their site http://www.smartusa....CH_MSRP_300x250 What have they used to do this? (I can see it that it doesnt load a new page and is using <li> tags as a navigation) Thanks in advance GARE

Hi folks, I have recently built a contact form for a clients website. (I have used this form in numerous websites before) It is working fine in IE but I can only fill in the top 1 or 2 areas in Chrome. It's as if the bottom half of the form is locked down. Has anyone had an issue like this? contact form Thanks in advance

Hi folks, I have a client who has a website that offers a range of products. They have recently expanded to other cournties but the range of products is reduced for certain countries. Is it possible to redirect a user to the correct product range page from their IP address? Thank in advance..

Does that mean I change the code in the contact.html to method="get" or change the php code to $POST ? Thanks for the quick response.

Hi folks, We have created a new web site and I have found a problem with the contact form. It works fine in Firefox and Chrome but not in Internet Explorer (surprise surprise) When I fill out the form and hit submit I receive an email with no content. In FF or Chrome the form works fine. Can any help me with this issue? contact form See PHP code below: <?php $to = 'garry@urban3d.net'; //Put in your email address here $subject = "Query From Website - General "; //The default subject. Will appear by default in all messages. Change this if you want. //User info (DO NOT EDIT!) $name = stripslashes($_GET['name']); //sender's name $email = stripslashes($_GET['email']); //sender's email $msg .= "Subject: ".$subject."\r\n\n\n"; //add subject to the message (optional! It will be displayed in the header anyway) $msg .= "From: ".$name."\r\n\n"; //add sender's name to the message $msg .= "E-mail: ".$email."\r\n\n"; //add sender's email to the message $msg .= "---Message--- \r\n".nl2br(stripslashes($_GET['message']))."\r\n\n"; //the message itself $mail = mail($to, $subject, $msg, "From:".$email); // This command sends the e-mail to the e-mail address contained in the $to variable if($mail) { echo 'Your message has been sent, we will be in touch shortly!'; //This is the message that will be shown when the message is successfully send } else { echo 'Error: Message could not be sent!'; //This is the message that will be shown when an error occured: the message was not send } ?>

Its been random as far as I can tell. I'll drop the hosts a email and see if they can shed soem light on the situation.

Hi Zed, I can access other web files via ftp, it just seems to be random hosting accounts. I deal with all the web stuff & no one else would be playing about with the ftp details. Gare

Hi folks, I have recently tried to upload new web files to websites that I routinely carry out updates for. Some hosting accounts are not allowing me to access the web files others are. I can access the same web files at my house which leaves it to be a problem with my connection in the office. Is it possible some hosting servers could block out my IP address so that I cant access the files? This is causing me a huge headache so any help would be much appreciated. thanks in advance Gare

Hi folks, We are moving our company domain form 1 hosting package to another with the same company. We are doing this as the current hosting packae has a load of add-on domians so we want to have the company website hosted on its own. Will transfering the files over to the new hosting package have a negative effect on our Goole ranking? Thanks in advance. Garry
