I'm using 2010 ultimate and the tabs can be dragged around and snapped back in

Visual Studio 2010 has windows that you can tear out and place wherever, if that is what you mean. Earlier versions, I don't think so.

I am stuck with 2008 pro, clicking and dragging a file outside the window seems to make it the focused window. Googling gave me the following Stackover Flow link. I dont think I can use 2010 as its for a company laptop but not necessarily against an addon.

He had an Ask Me thread. Speculation at the end suggests he self banned himself @ 17k posts.

He was exiled from politics and went back and posted in politics, so yea, pretty much a self ban...

That's quite a shame, does an exile from politics not expire at some point (2 years?). from his posting history he's been posting a lot in there for weeks before the ban

My understanding is that it doesn't, and he didn't really check with anyone before starting to post in there again. And he was basically doing the same thing that got him exiled in the first place...

I have the wonderful job of updating / adding products to the website. As you can imagine, there is no way to actual navigate to the new areas aside from the search box.

So, according to the wackjob that built the site, when a user is in the CMS and s/he presses enter, they were not looking for something equivalent to <br /> but rather a table cell with two <br /> and a few &nbspc or whatever that thing is called, so that instead of:

sentence one
sentence two

I get

sentence one





sentence two

so if I actually want the first option, I have to press "Source" and find where I am in the mess of code and enter <br /> myself. I found out that if I push iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

I can find where I was!

I also learned that when you are using listed items, instead of using the built-in <li> and getting the free dots, it is better to make your own dots and make them an 8" x 8" image (yes, I meant to say inches, yes, they use inches instead of say, px or em).

I still have to build a database and stuff, so one of the managers suggested I use the guy who built our website to build the database for me. I begged out of this option and said I'd rather do it myself, even if it will eat up three valuable days of my life. The builder happens to be a friend of said manager. She told me: "He's really knowledgeable. I don't know why you don't trust him."

Last edited by daveT; 12-15-2011 at 03:51 AM. Reason: said manager also knows I can build websites, so it's no big revelation here.

dave, i humbly submit that if you continue using an abomination like "s/he" in your prose writing, somehow, some way, it is going to make you write unclean code.

                                              o-------------o ).area * int(I-------------I) );
Brilliant!
I am putting this in my code some how some way on monday.

The biggest wtf, imo is found here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6...jection-in-php

which is summed up nicely in this comment:

Something is very wrong in PHP land if mysql_real_escape_string doesn't appropriately escape all special characters.

Maybe this has changed?

nah it hasn't changed but that version of mysql is obsolete for the most part and replaced by mysqli so i doubt they'll change it

What kind of self-loathing, ignorant moron attempts to add text-editing modules to a Drupal website.

What kind of self-loathing, ignorant moron attempts to use Drupal at all?

What kind of self-loathing, ignorant moron attempts to add CKEditor or FKEditor to a ****ing Drupal website?

Me. That's who.

**** Drupal. **** web development in general, but I mean, Drupal is pure torture.

**** Drupal: the docs are pure garbage. People complain about python docs? Nothing is worse than this load of garbage. Drupal docs in a nutshell: it's really easy, just install.

Yeah, what they ~really~ mean is spend 7 hours looking at Google and figure out which of the 15 articles will sort of get you near to your answer, then spend the next 3 hours guessing what the missing step is. Wow, what a ****ing POS CMS.

I'm doing this as a favor for a friend. I'll never ever ever use a goddam CMS again.

12-20-2011 , 03:55 AM
Favour for a friend? just say sorry I don't know drupal, wordpress ftw we'll use that instead lol.

I used FCKEditor on a home-made php + postgres cms type thing about 5 years back, it was awesome (so the worker drones could add content for the web themselves ) and iirc trivial to add, but that was just adding in to my own code.

I hate Drupal. But, I'm submitting a proposal probably later this week to do some Drupal maintenance and optimization.

It's not fun but hey, that's why they call it work.

I've been playing around with drupal for over a month now. Do a youtube search for installing modules and then use the docs and forums on drupal.org if you're still having any trouble.

I've install the CKEditor on a test site I have on my computer but never messed around with it too much. One of the problems I noticed right away is that drupal will filter out any html tags you haven't made an exception for, so even if it looks good on the WYSIWYG editor it might get butchered.
