Thanks for your offer ... I have the lyrics for all the songs complete (even the onces not available anywhere on the net - I have had to type them myself... for example some tracks of La Passione or some old B-sides) but the problem is that for every item in the discography I need to make a whole new page; with links to the lyrics for every track, and look things up and so on ... I could make a sample page where one could fill in the album-tile, titles of the tracks and the links to the various files with lyrics. In that way someone could help me if you like ...Zgred wrote: You said that you don't have time to refine the site - try sharing your work with us? For example I saw the lyrics aren't completed, whilst the texts are available in the net, or even we can write it on PC. If you need pure text to place in the "Discography" section, this is job anyone can do...
Your move :mrgreen:

Did I misunderstand? you make a complete page for *every* one thing in discography? That's why selection of an item resets the whole list?? But it would be the least effective way of how thing could be done!!! Why didn't you make standard target-frame style? Then you select from left frame with albums & singles and it will show up at the right frame?? Does it mean that when you need to add a single to, for example, La Passione section, you would be forced to add this link to *all* others items? Or I just didn't understand your words?bjongen wrote:[...] for every item in the discography I need to make a whole new page; with links to the lyrics for every track, and look things up and so on ...
You would better show exactly what you are talking about, I have built my own site after an hour of studying basics of HTML, so I don't know really much but I understand the idea and learn quickly, yet I know nothing about Java so if everything works in it, I could rather do html-things right now (well, if there's a lot of that maybe can I help this way). Also Mac problems aren't my favouritebjongen wrote:I could make a sample page where one could fill in the album-tile, titles of the tracks and the links to the various files with lyrics.

What I am looking for, is someone who knows more from site-building then I do (that shouldn't be to hard ), and who can help me solve the problems for MAC users...
I see what the problem is... I'll try to work on that ... But it won't be easy for meZgred wrote:Here it goes: (cursor is not shown)
LINK TO THE SCREENSHOT
Well, I used to use frames, but because search engines don't like frames and you cannot link to a particulair page in the site (without loosing the rest like menu, etc.). So I started to use PHP scripts. I use the "include" tag to build te pages. I created a header (the picture in the top, the menu, and the text to the right), a footer (the little box and the ads on the bottem) and some loose files, like for example a version fil with just the text: "September 22th 2005", but also for example the menu of the discography is one file. When I build a page of the discography for example, it looks like this:Zgred wrote:Did I misunderstand? you make a complete page for *every* one thing in discography?

Code: Select all
<?php
include "header.php";
?>
<?php
include "version.php";
?>
<?php
include "disco-menu.php";
?>
Text + images of the page
<?php
include "footer.php";
?>
The list is indeed very, very long !!Zgred wrote: I propose moving this problem at the end of the (long ) list.
All the lyrics are there; only the pages linking to the files with the lyrics need to be created. For example I created today a page for the new single I bought: http://www.chrisrea.nl/discography/cont ... nch-US.php and on this page there are links to the lyrics of "working on it" and "loving you again". These lyrics files are complete, just the item-pages aren't ...Zgred wrote: It would be better to concentrate on current problems like the lack of lyrics.
No, when I ad an item, no other page has to be changed. As I tried to explain above, the discography-menu is one seperate .php file. When I ad an item (f.e. Working on it 7" US) I only have to change this one file (discography-menu.php) and all other files will include this latest version of that file. In this, it works exacly the same as frames....Zgred wrote:Still I don't know if changing one item at Discography has to be followed with changing rest of the pages? .
Well, if you (or any body else) would like to help, that would be very much apriciated I can make a blank template with an explanation about how to work things out, when you (or anybody else) is interested, please mail me at webmaster@chrisrea.nl and I will try to explain what need to be done...Zgred wrote:The way I can help I see looks what follows: you send me (or anyone else) the template, one filled with present item (e.g. album "So much love" in "1974 - So much love" subsection), one empty to be filled, and all necessary data that is involved. Well it would be nice to also have a filling pattern or so... you know better. What do you say?
You mean Chris Rea FAQ (from The man) of course? Not the forum-related one? Well, stupid question...bjongen wrote:- Complete the new FAQ section I am working on
Whatever Happened to Zgred's Problem?? :mrgreen: today the menu is working excellent.bjongen wrote:- Solve Zgreds problem
This sounds like it was said by Chris recentlybjongen wrote:Last I am also a perfectionist, and I know exactly how I want to have it...
Okay I think now I have everything clear - it would be nonsense to do this in another way. In another words there are PHP "frames" in one HTML frame. It's just my lack of knowledge how PHP works.bjongen wrote:All the lyrics are there; only the pages linking to the files with the lyrics need to be created.

Oh no problem really, just Blue Guitars as a gift, ticket for one concert and trip to Middlesbrough would be enough rewardbjongen wrote:Thank you very much for thinking with me !! In this way it truly becomes a page "for the fans, by the fans" !!!
Well; I have completed the tutorial, complete with a blank and a sample file. If anybody else is interested, please let me know !

Yeah, there is "good luck" in your tutorial...... I will need it !!!
Gonna need a heck of a lot of beta testers...
