You would hope so lol. Not everyone has common sense though. I am guessing their first move would have been to hire someone to try to steal the existing work. Which is why I wanted the theme files and graphics off the server.

Thanks. Thank goodness for contracts. While mine unfortunately didn't cover everything, it covered a lot of it. Enough that I at least have some recourse. Taking the site down, while not as satisfying as getting paid, will be some solace.

If I take them to small claims court in Canada, I still have to pursue them for payment or get a collections agency to. I have no confidence whatsoever from my dealings so far that it will make any difference. They have the resources to keep going to court and drawing this out. I don't. I learned a valuable lesson in not putting a site live until after final payment clears. So I will cut my losses, and leave it at that. So, they will either be not using my work for free anymore, or they will decide to pay to get the site back up. The terms of the contract give me site ownership until final payment, and the right to take the site down for non-payment. It also gives full authorization to access the server. So I am going to use those options. The only thing the contract didn't cover (has been revised) is that final payment had to clear BEFORE the site went live. I normally took 1/3 down, 1/3 on approval, 1/3 when job was done. Had no issues for years. Thanks!

If I delete a theme (only the theme), and then upload it at a laster date (a backed up copy) will it work fine? I have a client who has broken a payment contract. I have put their site in maintenance mode, but I would like to remove the theme I heavily customizes as well in case they figure out how to access the Wordpress install. If payment comes through, I'd like to be able to quickly restore it though. SO basically I just want to get the files of the server temporarily. I'd like to do the same with the 'uploads' folder as well because that is where most of the graphics I worked on are stored. Can I just delete both temporarily, and upload them later? Thanks a lot.

Hey guys. I am working on a Wordpress site. They have a catalogue which is about 30 individual PDF files (one for each page). Here is the link to the old catalogue: http://www.technicor.ca/content/catalog.shtml I am looking for suggestions as to the best way to set this up in Wordpress. I'd like to have something similar to the frame structure it currently uses in the sense that I'd like people to be able to click the links and have the pages open in some kind of window/frame without a new page opening each time. Basically something that replicates frames I guess. I thought about Lightbox type scripts, but the viewer needs to be able to have the Print/enlarge/etc menus for the pages. I don't know if any lightbox scripts can provide that. I am learning my way around Wordpress, and just can't think of a way to approach this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I would love to. They have their hosting setup through Intuit. I guess it's an ok service for people with no web design experience who want to get a site up. They let you download free template driven software etc. But if you want to upload your own designs, or configure things like forms at all it's horrible. Unfortunately, they already paid for it and don't want to change. Thanks

I am working on a site for a client who unfortunately has some horrible web hosting. Changing hosts would be ideal to solve my problem, but he doesn't want to do it. He would like a contact from on his site, but the hosting does not allow PHP or CGI. In fact they hardly allow anything... from their site: I love how they 'only' exclude those types. Anyway, does anyone have any idea for a workaround? Does anyone have any experience with the 3rd party form processing sites? If so, can anyone recommend one? Thanks

That fixed it! Thanks a ton for the tip.

Hey guys. First of all, I would definitely be classified as a noob, so if there is messy coding, I am still working hard at learning. I have a page here: http://www.stevenvolpe.ca/test/paintings.html CSS is here: http://www.stevenvolpe.ca/test/css/paintings.css The page appears as I want in every browser except Explorer (6 through 8 ). The navigation menu does not display the same in those browsers. It kind of bleeds over on to 2 lines. If I space it a little wide, the navigation does not line up right with the logo. (bottom of 'volpe' and bottom of nav should line up...see below) In Firefox, Safari, Opera, Chrome, the bottom of the menu is aligned with the bottom of the logo text. And it 'fits' fine into that area right of the logo. It appears correctly. Can anyone give me some tips on how to fix the problem in Explorer? Thanks in advance. EDIT: I just checked on browsershots.org, and the menu appears to be ok in IE 8. So it's an IE 6 and 7 issue now.

Thanks for the work, I am going to look into this in the a.m. It's been a long day and I don't have the focus for this tonight lol. Need fresh eyes.

Thanks for the help. It's a little over my head, but I am up for trying it. I just have practically no experience with Flash. All the images are the exact same size. They are all cropped to be perfect squares.

Thanks for the tip, but that is way more complicated/advanced than I what I need. I don't even need the images to have links. I just basically need 9 thumbnails in a 3x3 grid. Each one is like it's own little slide show. Each mini slide show would have 3 images. The person would have no interactivity with it whatsoever. It would just be for show. Thanks

Hey guys. Ok here is the deal. I am working on a small site for an artist. On his main page he wants a thumbs of 9 of his paintings, set up so that they make a large square grid. Each one of those squares would have a 'slide show' effect, and transition to one other painting. I guess it would just loop after that. What do you guys think is the best way to go about this? I don't have any experience working wish Flash, so I was hoping for a non-Flash solution. If Flash is the only good way of achieving this, and anyone can recommend a tutorial I would give it a shot. But I would definitely rather use a non-Flash solution. Thanks in advance for any tips.

Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone could tell me how to center this horizontal menu (modern brick from dynamic drive). Thanks in advance. <style type="text/css"> /*Credits: Dynamic Drive CSS Library */ /*URL: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/ */ #modernbricksmenu2{ padding: 0; width: 100%; border-top: 5px solid #D25A0B; /*Brown color theme*/ background: transparent; voice-family: "\"}\""; voice-family: inherit; } #modernbricksmenu2 ul{ margin:0; margin-left: 40px; /*margin between first menu item and left browser edge*/ padding: 0; list-style: none; } #modernbricksmenu2 li{ display: inline; margin: 0 2px 0 0; padding: 0; text-transform:uppercase; } #modernbricksmenu2 a{ float: left; display: block; font: bold 11px Arial; color: white; text-decoration: none; margin: 0 1px 0 0; /*Margin between each menu item*/ padding: 5px 10px; background-color: black; /*Brown color theme*/ border-top: 1px solid white; } #modernbricksmenu2 a:hover{ background-color: #D25A0B; /*Brown color theme*/ color: white; } #modernbricksmenu2 #current a{ /*currently selected tab*/ background-color: #D25A0B; /*Brown color theme*/ color: white; border-color: #D25A0B; /*Brown color theme*/ } </style>

Problem solved. Someone pointed out the missing tag. I was missing a </div> tag at the end of the menu. Thanks
