I’ve got another project in mind to solve a personal problem. The Problem I bank online and use online billpay through my bank for most of my bills. I occasionally write checks.

Blog Post Full Content Tutorial

By default, your WordPress Blog Page will show a list of Summaries of your Blog Posts. This is not a setting that you can change in your administrative panel. It has to be done in the PHP file. Here’s how: You need to have a way to access your files on the server. I recommend the [FireFTP Add-On] for Firefox. You can also use the GoDaddy Hosting Control Center > Your Files. Or you can use any FTP client. On the server,...

Password Tutorial

This information was taken and very slightly altered from the [Scott Page]. Background This is a demonstration of how to password protect a page. All users have the same password which is hardwired in php code. To give each user their own password the user’s user id and unique password must be stored in a database. The idea is to check for a LoggedIn cookie set to TRUE at the beginning of a protected page. If the cookie...

Shopping Carts-Checkouts

Personally, I’ve used the “Quick Shopping Cart” from Godaddy that costs $9.99 a month. It’s quick and easy to use if you want to get started selling items right away. However, I’m looking for an open-source replacement for that and so far I’m pleased with ZenCart. ZenCart is easily implemented in GoDaddy. You can do it through their UI. Both of these programs have an administrator UI and don’t...

Search Bars

Scott has had some trouble with a search bar in his dad’s website, but Brant says that Google has a great one that works very well. You can check it out at [Pit Row Sports]. It looks great and plays well with his CSS. I got it working on my HTML site, but it doesn’t work on my PHP page. See the [cref search-bar-tutorial] page for instructions for implementing this.

Scheduled Tasks on the GoDaddy Server

Sometimes, you want to send emails or do database work on a regular schedule without having to click on a page. The reason I needed to know this is because I have a calendar database. People have signed up to bring doughnuts and need to be reminded. Once a week I need the system to send an email to that person to remind them and to update the database. Please note that the Godaddy server is 2 hours behind our time and make the...
