This script is a modification of Mistress V’s script so many people used to use before the transition. You will need hosting to use it. (To save $50 on a year’s hosting with Dreamhost, use the discount code CALLBUTTONDEAL.)
Cara of CarasCam made this tutorial, and I made my first contact form using it.
If you are comfortable with editing something you don’t really understand, you can probably get it to work for you. Instead of being an HTML page with instructions, it is a script that has inline notes:
“// This is an inline note telling you what to do”
explaining what each part does and where you need to edit to make it work for you. This is how many free script tutorials you will find on the web work.
Save it as a .php file, edit it, then upload it to your site. The link you put to it will display a contact form that will submit to your email, after you have it set up.
This isn’t intended to be a substitute for a full listing design and layout. It’s for those of you who have zero formatting on your listings and don’t know the first thing about it.
Pick your options, type your text in the Header text box and a paragraph of text in the Text area, and click the button. If you don’t like it, you can keep editing, because your text will stay in that box as long as you work on it.
All the text will run in together into one giant paragraph. Where you want a line break, copy and insert this: <br><p> into your listing edit window when you go to edit your listing.
Do you have multiple accounts on Niteflirt that you don’t always keep open? See at a glance which accounts have mail. The script will run on your computer, no upload or website needed. It refreshes every 5 minutes. You will need to put your account names and UID in the script to make it work. Instructions are in the script. It looks like this:
(I removed the link because this no longer works with changes to the Niteflirt mail system.)
I made a video clip using a camera. I liked the background sound, but I wasn’t going to be able to get my computer to the location where I would be able to record it again. But I was able to find a free audio extractor that will snag the sound track from a video in most common formats and save it as an mp3, wav, etc. It’s super easy to use.
This post is not for my regular readers, who I fully expect do not have Swishmax 2. This is for those of you out there who have Swishmax 2 (and Swishmax, too) and would like to use their preprogrammed text effects more, but can’t tell by looking at the lists what does what and which is which.
I made a flash movie which is a series of interactive charts based on screenshots of the dropdown menus. I just added a whole lot of little buttons to it which you can mouseover to watch the text effects beneath. It was tedious to do, but now I have the reference, and so do you. Enjoy!
Does the fact that you have multiple accounts mean that you’re always struggling to change your availability on the others when you get a call on one, and missing calls and losing points?
Hypnotic Guy has a new free script you can use to help you sign in and out quicker. It requires a website which is php/CURL extension enabled. Unfortunately, that probably means that Godaddy’s out, but any other real webhost should work for it. It won’t work if your “website” is a hosted blog. Sorry, you need a real website. You will also need to be able to edit files, change filenames, and use ftp to put files on your server.
But anyway, here’s what it looks like. Click the link below the picture to go to his site and download. You can even click one of his buttons and give him a donation.
It does say something about this in the directions…but you need to upload all the files to a password-protected directory on your server. You may not have done this before, but it’s a good thing to be able to do. I can help you with it if Dreamhost is your host. Otherwise, look through your admin area or panel. If you don’t find it, contact tech support. They’re used to hearing this question, and they probably have an answer all ready for you.
