Well as it's just you and me so far, the answer to that would be Slack! PM me your email address and I'll invite you to this team I've just created.

Hi both, Thanks for the replies! I have downloaded HipChat and had a poke around, it looks good. Just downloading Slack now to get a feel for it. Paul, I'd be happy to connect and give this group idea a go. Do you have a preference for communication channel?

I'd suggest you install Akismet or another spam filter to prevent this happening in future.

WooCommerce does let you create grouped products, where you can add one product to another (e.g. if building a computer, you can add a component to the order). You could also go down the route of setting it as a variable product, and letting them add the additional item as an add-on.

Unless you need some groovy post code based filtering, then the best way is probably to create a database of all the counties in your target region, let your users choose (select list) of counties they cover, then store the values (county ID) in an array in their user database record.

Bizarre, but thanks for posting the solution.

What exactly is the problem? Can't you just duplicate some of the code from the functions.php file to create 4 more widgets, e.g. register_sidebar called Home 5, Home 6, etc.?

Hey everyone, I've been an on/off member of this forum for quite a few years, and have enjoyed interacting with people and helping fix issues people come across! I also suffer from the same problem a lot of you do - isolation. I work in an office on my own, because I'm the only in-house member of staff. While this does give some much-needed peace, there is a certain interaction which I miss. On a more practical level, I also don't have the opportunity to bounce ideas and error check with peers. This has got me thinking about a solution - small group chats. I'm thinking of forming a small group (up to 6 max) web designers/developers with a slightly varied skillset and be part of an active chat group, maybe via a desktop client. It can be an always-on service (unless you switch it off!) whereby we can chat generally, ask advice on issues, or get help for certain problems. It should also reduce the isolation factor. Let me know what you guys think of this, and if anyone would be interested.

Hi there, Does anyone know of a why to provide a different theme to a mobile user? I'm already aware of WP-Touch, and I don't want to use responsive principles per se, I'm looking to see if it's possible to detect a mobile user and on the server-level send back a different theme. Any advice would be appreciated! Darren

Interesting, thanks. Do either of you know how they are able to get so much personal data? I wonder where it comes from and how they collect it all?

Yeah, showing company information I have seen before, usually because big companies use the same IP addresses, so it's not hard to compile a list, however identifying individuals (and giving their contact details) seems really far-fetched to me.

Hey, I came across this site promising to provide a site visitor's name, email, telephone, and more, by using their analytics package. Might be too good to be true, but I was wondering, how might this work? http://www.sharpspring.com/benefits Darren

That sounds promising. The database will be used to store 500,000 or more unique IDs, and I want a search query to search for a single unique ID, and then return either true or false. Any other data storage can be held in other tables I guess. Does that sound like it would be easy for MySQL to handle?

I'm going to be looking for a unique index amongst 500,000 records, just looking to see if it's there or not. Should be quite easy I hope?

Hi everyone, I'm hoping to get some advice from developers who have worked with databases that can handle many, many rows. I have a potential project which involves having a database with between half a million and maybe millions of codes. The database needs to be searchable quickly and without much noticeable lag. I'm used to working with PHP and MySQL, but I'm unsure whether MySQL can handle that many rows well. I've heard there are certain databases which are geared up to such large numbers of rows, but I'm not sure of where to start. Anyone have advice? Thanks!
