Title: Need some help...
Post by: lfmusiclover on June 26, 2007, 12:58:41 AM
Does anyone here know php? If so, I have a php contact form I'd like to put on my site, but the problem is that I don't know php and thereofre don't know what to put where in the php document. If I send it to you, do you think you could make it right for me?  I would appreciate any help!!!  8)

Stephen, how do you add a banner to this forum? I joined AdSense, and I want to put up a banner at the top of the forum page like Matt has. Do you know how to do that?

You could do that, but it's easier to edit the board templates and add it there.

With what? Dirt? Its just rounded off, the current one is square.. Mine is round and has was appears to be transparent edges..

Notice the rounded corners. Makes it fit in with its background a bit better than the current one does. Other than that, yeah its pretty much identical.

Ohh!  Dang, I was able to answer a question three people missed at once in the other thread, but can't see something right in front of my dog-gone nose.  >:( ;D

It's still rather rough, IMO.  The rounded corners make it look a tad better, I guess. ;)

Post by: lfmusiclover on June 29, 2007, 09:53:41 PM
Alright, I need some help again. As you can see, somethings wrong with the music page. The HTML portion of the page shows up correctly, but as you can see the PHP part is way down at the bottom. I've checked for unneeded table tags, as well as any other tags taht appear unneeded, but I can't find any. Does anyone have any idea what's going on? Matt and Kyle don't seem to be online right now, so I'm kinda stuck unless someone here can help.
Title: Re: Need some help...
Post by: beanboy89 on June 29, 2007, 10:02:44 PM
Gary, remember when the music page was just black text on a white background? Well, if you can get it back to that, you can embed it (the php) back into the current site (html) using frames.
Title: Re: Need some help...
Post by: lfmusiclover on June 29, 2007, 10:41:35 PM
I would rather not use frames. I would prefer to just figure out what's wrong so that I couuld get it back to normal without the use of frames. Ithink the problem is just that somewhere there is an unneeded table or a stray and/or unneeded table tag.
Title: Re: Need some help...
Post by: lfmusiclover on June 29, 2007, 11:32:38 PM
Ok, I think I've narrowed the problem down a bit, so maybe now someone can help. I've removed the table that houses the navigation buttons on the left side of the page. As you'll see if you look, the buttons are no longer present, but the page is now as it should be. What about the side nav button table could cause the php documnet to appear at the bottom of the screen as it was? How can I fix it?

Well let's see...I really don't have any idea how to go about making this kind of page, so I would need help with almost everything actually. I can supply you with the pictures and descriptions I have. I mean, I'll cut you loose to do oit however you want. I just need those pictures and descriptions to end up on a webpage. Also, like Isaid I don't have all th epictures I need, so if you could contribute any that are missing that would be great too.

I've got the Junior/3000 and the 4000 pages complete.

4000 - http://billy.mozfaq.org/temp/Gary/flavors/4000.html
Junior/3000 - http://billy.mozfaq.org/temp/Gary/flavors/jr.html

And speaking of the 3000, since it was in service until 2004, you may want to add a video page for the 3000.

Billy, after your done with the IS page, I have one more little task I need help with, if its possible. I need you to create for me the main page of the flavor guide section. IOW, when someone clicks the link to go to the flavor Guide, I want them to end up at a page where they choose STAR they want to see flavor information for (for a look at how I want it set up, see Matt's Flavor Guide section).

Let me know if you can do this for me. I would REALLY appreciate it!  8)

Well, the IntelliStar flavor page is taking longer than I expected. Since the IS is so called "intelligent", there are many different flavor lineups compared to the other STARs. I'm about half way finished. Expect it to be finished later today, hopefully.

I hadn't though about that. Now I understand why the IS page is taking as long as it is. No hurry though. Just get it done when you can.  8)

How are things progressing Billy?
Well, I've got the one minute and minute thirty second flavor lineups complete, but I still have a few of the two minute flavors to complete. Plus, I don't have any of the flavors with the traffic pages, because I don't have Traffic Pulse.

All the traffic pulse lineups are the same, and they always air. It goes Incidents List, then Traffic Map, then 3 Traffic routes.

I'm sure there's plenty of videos on YouTube that you could take some screenshots from if you need screencaps for any of the IS flavors.

It's not so much the screenshots I'm concerned about, I can get those easily. I'm more concerned about the actual flavor lineups. The order of the screens and such. There are at least two different lineups per flavor depending on whether there is precipitation present or not. I'll have to investigate all my IS videos to get the correct lineups and times of day each play.

I'm confused now, because this has nothing to do (it seems) with the problem you just told me about a short time ago. But anyway, can you tell me how long its gonna take to get it done? If its not going to be today then I'll have to proceed with today's update without the Flavor Guide.

Okay, here's a tentative lineup of today's IS flavors...

It doesn't include the traffic pages, but expect an updated version later in the week that does.

Also, the flavor page:

Need some help guys. I taped some LF's and stuff this evening during the severe weather outbreak here, and I want to transfer what I taped to my PC. I have a video capture card, so how would I hook things up?

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer!  8)

Post by: G2003 on July 16, 2007, 09:16:07 PM
Well, you hook the VCR output to the TV Tuner, whetehr it be Coaxial, Composite, or SVideo. Then play the VCR and record
on your TV tunrt

Its the same as if you were recording from any other source. I thought you've done this stuff beforE? :huh:
Title: Re: Need some help...
Post by: lfmusiclover on July 16, 2007, 09:17:40 PM
No, I've never recorded from a device other than the TV Tuner.

About what your trying to do. I dont see how it would be any different from recording live TV.

Just hook the VCR up to the Tuner.

Can't you hook your VCR up directly to your capture card?

Edit, totally missed all of page 7. :p

Post by: lfmusiclover on July 16, 2007, 10:02:23 PM
Yes Billy that's precisely what I'm trying to figure out how to do.

And no Gil, its not the same as recording from the TV Tuner. The TV Tuner is a device within the computer. A VCR is an external device.

Post by: G2003 on July 16, 2007, 10:03:01 PM
Ok, well what jacks/ports does your TV tuner have?

What jacks/ports does the VCR have?
Title: Re: Need some help...
Post by: lfmusiclover on July 16, 2007, 10:04:19 PM
The VCR has only AV jacks, and the tuner has an S-Video jack and an AV jack.
Title: Re: Need some help...
Post by: G2003 on July 16, 2007, 10:04:46 PM
Does the TV Tuner have an audio port?

Just connect the AV Jack on the computer to the AV jacks on the VCR, via composite cable.
Title: Re: Need some help...
Post by: stormymikala on July 16, 2007, 10:21:29 PM
What I've done for my recent recordings is that I've recorded my taped stuff to a DVD.Then I make clips from the DVDs.
Title: Re: Need some help...
Post by: lfmusiclover on July 17, 2007, 11:25:21 AM
I still can't get it to work. What I have is just a random AV cable. Each side has 3 plugs-yellow, white, and red. I plug the yellow and white plugs on one side into the audio and video jacks on the VCR, and plug the yellow plug on the other side into the AV in port on the capture card. But I cannot get a picture. What am I doing wrong?

Also, I was a little off on the ports on the back of the capture card. They are: FM, TV (a cable TV jack), Audio out, AV in, S-VHS (super video).
Title: Re: Need some help...
Post by: G2003 on July 17, 2007, 12:10:56 PM
Okay, make sure your tuning into the correct port where the VCR is connected to. since almost every TV tuner is different, I can't help you there. once you get it tuned to the correct port of the connection, press play on teh VCR and start recording.
Title: Re: Need some help...
Post by: lfmusiclover on July 17, 2007, 12:27:17 PM
I don't know what's going on. I plug the yellow connector into the AV in port, press play on the VCR, but get no picture.  :huh:

Like i said, make sure the software is tuned to the correct port on the TV tuner. What kind of TV Tuner do you have?
Title: Re: Need some help...
Post by: lfmusiclover on July 17, 2007, 12:33:23 PM
I have a V-Stream XPert TV-PVR. Not a name brand, just a cheap one I picked up a few years back at one of those computer show and sales they have (don't know if they have them in your area or not so you maynot know what I am talking about).

As far as I know, it is tuned to the correct port. I have the following choices: S-video, Composite, Antenna, Cable. I assume that the correct choice would be Composite.
Title: Re: Need some help...
Post by: G2003 on July 17, 2007, 12:34:16 PM
Yes, you are right. Have you tried the VCR with a TV? if that doesnt work, check the cable.
Title: Re: Need some help...
Post by: lfmusiclover on July 17, 2007, 12:37:10 PM
Yes, the VCR works fine with the TV. I have about 20 minutes of recently recorded TWC footage on a tape that I'd like to transfer over to my computer so that I can post it on the site. I have tried several other AV cables, all with the same result, so I'm assuming that there is nothing wrong with the cables.
Title: Re: Need some help...
Post by: G2003 on July 17, 2007, 12:55:02 PM
Does the Tuner work with the same or any other connections?
Title: Re: Need some help...
Post by: lfmusiclover on July 17, 2007, 01:00:54 PM
The TV watching function works fine. I just plug the cable tv cable into the cable hookup on the card, and I'm on my way.
Title: Re: Need some help...
Post by: G2003 on July 17, 2007, 01:13:49 PM
Hmm thats weird. it must be a problem with the composite port. can you use the regular coaxial connection for TV?
Title: Re: Need some help...
Post by: lfmusiclover on July 17, 2007, 01:23:36 PM
That's what I meant. I use the coaxial hookup for watching TV with the tuner card. Is it possible that I can hook the VCR up to the tuner card via coaxial cable instead of using (or trying to use) AV cables?
Title: Re: Need some help...
Post by: G2003 on July 17, 2007, 01:32:43 PM
If the VCR has a coaxial jack, then sure.

If not, you'll need a Modulator which converts the RCA jacks to a modulated RF signal, in the form of Coaxial output.
Title: Re: Need some help...
Post by: lfmusiclover on July 17, 2007, 01:44:42 PM
Yes, the VCR does have a coaxial jack. But then, if I go that way, what about audio?
Title: Re: Need some help...
Post by: G2003 on July 17, 2007, 01:45:44 PM
There ill be audio. Coaxial has audio and video in one cable :yes:
Title: Re: Need some help...

I need you all to do me a favor: Go to the IS videos page, and try and play the video from March 8 2005, Westover ARB. I have a site visitor who, a week after first contacting me, is still insisting to me that there is something wrong with that video. I can play it just fine, I just want to see if anyone else has any problems.
