ok, this is possibly an unusual one...
I have a friend who owns a load of domain names, which he's always had the intention of setting up with full blown sites over time
he isn't a coder, but he is a really good ideas guy
Obviously, this means he is paying a load of money out each year for renewals, way too much, thousands!
At one point he had close to 3000 names, i think many lapsed but he still has at least a few hundred, maybe even a 1000!
So anyway, the here task is to find a way to put some kind of sites up really quickly, with the intention of making a small amounts of money from advertising, not so that he can make a fortune from them, but just so that each one can cover the renewal fee.
he wants to get some of the full sites developed as soon as possible but obviously can't do them all at the same time.
Therefore, As these quick sites are built, he wants to be able to make a bit of money off each to cover the domain renewal cost, and use that money (which was being used to renew) to have the full ones built and gradually snowball the development of the portfolio
so for the initial phase, i think the priorities are to look at having a fast, efficient way of getting sites online, being able to automate everything possible.
I know him well and he is not a spamming kind of person, but he needs to stop the outgoings and put that money into developing the full sites
his initial ideas (for the full sites) were good and in depth for each site.
Some related domains were to be used to point to 1 central site, like several satellites generating traffic for the main one in each area
he says as long as they are making the renewals then thats good enough at this stage
oh, and he hates Wordpress, so anything WP related is off limits
My skillset and preferences revolve mainly around Laravel, but I'm open to other non-Laravel solutions if thats what would be a better fit
so far, I'm thinking towards the following possibilities, but I'm open to critique on any of them, since I do not have the experience to tell what would work best
- to find a way to create a fairly simple template and find a system to be able to upload multiple versions of it quickly.
- I was interested in finding out more about laravel.hosting as they said they had a 1-click Laravel solution, but now I'm not sure if they would be the best people to use!
- Maybe Forge could be a possible solution for quick deployment?
- could I use subdomains running from one laravel base for this? I don't know if that is possible
- use sass with variables for the colours, and on each iteration, have a different sass variables file which would give a different colour theme on each site.
- research scraping to find a way to include content on each site. I've found possible solutions in Python, Rails, and a possible solution in Laravel by writing a scheduled command
- group the domains into subject areas, so that different content can be added to one site, and then point related domain names at the one with the content
- have (google or other) ads included to create Click Through income
Any ideas?

I find it a bit suspicious that someone would accumulate thousands of sites without having any use for them. What's missing from your description is just what kind of site(s) he needs to set up. And why so many domains?
It sounds like someone who is going to get themselves in lots of search engines with all of the sites pointing the same one (or few). This way, if a scammer, he/she can get lots of hits and still keep an apparently good reputation via the many other sites.
Perhaps follow up with a plausible and legitimate reason for this scenario and you'll get more help.

I want to disable add to cart button for specific products. Can anyone guide me on this ?
|
|
|
|
|
Where does this cart come from?
WordPress? ASP.NET based, or any other? You need to share some more specifics about it.

You need to create a custom module to implement it.
After the creation of module, create the InstallData.php file in app/code/Magenticians/Mymodule/Setup and add the following code in it:
eavSetupFactory = $eavSetupFactory;
$this->attributeSetFactory = $attributeSetFactory;
$this->categorySetupFactory = $categorySetupFactory;
}
public function install(ModuleDataSetupInterface $setup, ModuleContextInterface $context)
{
$setup->startSetup();
// CREATE ATTRIBUTE SET
$categorySetup = $this->categorySetupFactory->create(['setup' => $setup]);
$attributeSet = $this->attributeSetFactory->create();
$entityTypeId = $categorySetup->getEntityTypeId(\Magento\Catalog\Model\Product::ENTITY);
$attributeSetId = $categorySetup->getDefaultAttributeSetId($entityTypeId);
$data = [
'attribute_set_name' => 'DisableAddToCart',
'entity_type_id' => $entityTypeId,
'sort_order' => 200,
];
$attributeSet->setData($data);
$attributeSet->validate();
$attributeSet->save();
$attributeSet->initFromSkeleton($attributeSetId);
$attributeSet->save();
// CREATE PRODUCT ATTRIBUTE
$eavSetup = $this->eavSetupFactory->create(['setup' => $setup]);
$eavSetup->addAttribute(
\Magento\Catalog\Model\Product::ENTITY,
'text_add_to_cart',
[
'type' => 'varchar',
'label' => 'Add to Cart Text',
'backend' => '',
'input' => 'text',
'wysiwyg_enabled' => false,
'source' => '',
'required' => false,
'sort_order' => 5,
'global' => \Magento\Catalog\Model\ResourceModel\Eav\Attribute::SCOPE_STORE,
'used_in_product_listing' => true,
'visible_on_front' => fasle,
'attribute_set' => 'DisableAddToCart',
]
);
$setup->endSetup();
}
} ?>
Now based on the above attribute you can disable your overridden add to cart file.

I'm trying to use the bootstrap carousel (using the sample code from the bootstrap web site), and it's displaying all of the images at the same time. What am I doing wrong? ([Image data] indicates the base64 text where the image is being specified - I left the actual data out in the interest of brevity.)
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<div id="ttpImageCarousel" class="carousel slide" data-ride="carousel">
<div class="carousel-inner" role="listbox">
<div class="carousel-item active">
<img class="d-block img-fluid" src="data:image/jpg;base64,[image data]" alt="" />
<div class="carousel-caption d-none d-md-block">
<span style="display:inline-block;">Image 1 of 4</span>
</div>
</div>
<div class="carousel-item">[image 2 of 4]</div>
<div class="carousel-item">[image 3 of 4]</div>
<div class="carousel-item">
<img class="d-block img-fluid" src="data:image/jpg;base64,[image data]" alt="" />
<div class="carousel-caption d-none d-md-block">
<span style="display:inline-block;">Image 4 of 4</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<a class="carousel-control-prev" href="#carouselExampleControls" role="button" data-slide="prev">

I fixed it. I'm using bootstrap3 and the sample I used was for bootstrap 4 (although it didn't call out v4 anyplace in the sample).
I also found out that I had to include the following in my web config to avoid 404 errors in the javascript when searching for fonts that font-awesome needed:
<system.webServer>
<staticContent>
<remove fileExtension=".woff" />
<mimeMap fileExtension=".woff" mimeType="application/font-woff" />
<remove fileExtension=".woff2" />
<mimeMap fileExtension=".woff2" mimeType="font/x-woff" />
</staticContent>
</system.webServer>

You might need more MIME mappings for the other font types:
<mimeMap fileExtension="eot" mimeType="application/vnd.ms-fontobject" />
<mimeMap fileExtension="otf" mimeType="application/x-font-opentype" />
<mimeMap fileExtension="svg" mimeType="image/svg+xml" />
<mimeMap fileExtension="ttf" mimeType="application/x-font-truetype" />
<mimeMap fileExtension="woff" mimeType="application/font-woff" />
<mimeMap fileExtension="woff2" mimeType="application/font-woff2" />
According to this SO thread[^], the official MIME type for Woff2 might have been changed to font/woff2; but application/font-woff2 works for now.

<?php echo $map['mapdiv']
model:
function googlemaps($serial)
{
$return=array();

if($query->num_rows()>0)
{
foreach($query->result_array() as $row)
{
array_push($return,$row);
}
}
return $return;

Does anyone use this? It changes routing to be namespace-centric and groups controllers and their related views into a given namespace.
I'm not sure how this would improve things over just creating a folder and moving the controller/views into it without changing the namespaces you're already using. It also wouldn't affect the routing as far as I can determine.

Will Visual Studio complain if I simply move, the controller to the associated view sub-folder without changing the namespace in the controller?
EDIT =========================
The answer is no. The app acts exactly the same and there's no compiler push-back at all.
That will at least keep me from having to scroll up to get to the controller when I'm busy making the views fail spectacularly.

Yeah, it's not as smart as that. Unless you're actually using the areas mechanic it's just reflecting objects that inherit from Controller and trimming the "Controller" portion of the name. 100% standards-based approach.

How do you specify a route with multiple parameters that are NOT part of the URL itself?
like this:
controller/action?param1=a¶m2=b¶m3=c

If they're not being used to select the controller or action, then you shouldn't need to include them in the definition of the route. MVC will "magically" fill in the action parameters from the route data, the query string, and the POST body.

Can someone please give a hand?
I am stumped on this.
In ASP.NET, for instance, if you have the following dropdownlist:
<ASP:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server">
ListItem Value="Pastorsname">PastorName</ListItem>
</ASP:DropDownList>
and I wish to grab the text called PastorName and insert into the database, all I would need to do is this simple syntax:
DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Text
I am trying to do something similar in PHP:
<table id="dataTable">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<?php
$conn=mysqli_connect("localhost","xphiasuser","xphiasadmin","xphias_sermon");
if (mysqli_connect_errno())
{
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}
$select_query="Select pastorname, ministryname from xphias_clients";
$select_query = mysqli_query( $conn,$select_query);
echo "<select name='pastorsname' id='pastorsname' class='form-control'>";
echo "<option value=' '></option>";
while ($rc= mysqli_fetch_array($select_query) )
{
echo "<option value='" .$rc['ministryname'] . "'>" . $rc['pastorname'] . "</option>";
}
echo "</select>"; ?></td>
<td><INPUT TYPE="TEXT" class="form-control" NAME="ministriesname" id="ministriesname" SIZE="16"></td>
<td><INPUT TYPE="TEXT" class="form-control" NAME="sermondate" SIZE="10"></td>
<td><INPUT TYPE="TEXT" class="form-control" NAME="sermonname" SIZE="16"></td>
<td><INPUT INPUT="TEXT" class="form-control" NAME="scriptures" SIZE="16"></td>
<td><INPUT INPUT="TEXT" class="form-control" NAME="videoname" SIZE="10"></td>
<td><INPUT INPUT="TEXT" class="form-control" NAME="sermonnotes" SIZE="16"></td>
</tr>
</table>
<table>
<tr>
<td><INPUT type="file" class="form-control" name="fileToUpload" /></td>
<td><INPUT TYPE="submit" value="Save" SIZE="14" name="upd"></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#pastorsname').change(function(){
var ministriesname = $(this).val();
$('#ministriesname').val(ministriesname);
});
});
</script>
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST')
{
$sql = "INSERT INTO xphias_sermons (pastorname, ministriesname, sermon_name, scripture, video_name, sermon_notes,sermon_date)
SELECT ministryname, pastorname, ?, ?, ?, ?, ? FROM xphias_clients WHERE ministryname = ?;
// VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)";
$stmt = $conn->prepare($sql);
$stmt->bind_param('sssssss', $pastorname, $ministriesname, $sermonname, $scriptures, $videoname, $sermonnotes, $sermondate);
}
$pastorname = $_POST['pastorsname'];
$ministriesname= $_POST['ministriesname'];
$sermondate = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime(str_replace('-', '/', $_POST['sermondate'])));
$sermonname= $_POST['sermonname'];
$scriptures= $_POST['scriptures'];
$videoname= $_POST['videoname'];
$sermonnotes= $_POST['sermonnotes'];
In this PHP code, the <select...>.., the SELECT Value is pastorname and the text is ministryname.
How do I grab the value of text of ministryname and insert that into the database?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

There are always packages for pretty much everything.
Tell someone the answer is "get a package" is occasionally appropriate but the answer I gave also allows the poster to learn something about what's going on.

Fully patched Win7
VS2013/5
.Net 4.5
EF6.2
MVC5
Everything has been going almost okay up until today. All of a sudden, when I try to add a new controller with views, I get this:
There as an error running the selected code generator:
"Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation."
I was able to add a new controller yesterday with NO PROBLEM with the same dbcontext.
---------------
In the web.config (which has not change since I started the project):
1) There are no instances of "configsource" in the sections.
2) The configSections element is the first element.
3) The entityframework section looks correct (some people have had the wrong provider specified).
4) None of the sections are duplicated.
I've tried the following, and STILL have the problem.
1) The model object appears to be defined correctly, and is implemented as a DbSet<> in the dbcontext).
2) I tried changing the model implementation in the dbcontext to IDbSet<>.
3) I tried adding a controller (with a different name, of course) for a model that I already created a controller for.
4) I updated EF6 to from 6.13 to 6.2 out of desperation.
