I forked that fiddle and modified it a little bit. I think it represents what you want to achieve.

Haha yeah, but I learned a neat little trick from you, I can edit two ID's at once :)

Or you could use a class.

Does anyone have any experience with Devise and Paperclip for Rails 4? Rails 4 they removed the attr_accessible in your model for a controller, so I'm not sure how I'd go about allowing :avatar to be accessed when I'm using Devise's controller (hidden, behind the scenes).

[editline]12th May 2013[/editline]

I'm almost positive I just need something to tell Rails to allow :avatar

Is it possible to code in HTML something like a random link selector? Or more certain a random YouTube video? Something that would randomise from 1-17 iframes and would show only it.

You need another language to randomize it, either clientside (Javascript) or serverside (PHP, Ruby, etc.)

HTML is static, so it would be impossible without any other language.

Very basic in php.
(I hope it makes sense.)

$one = "<iframe width='560' height='315' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/u0l4HMJdSf4' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen></iframe>";
$two = "<iframe width='560' height='315' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/x1tPGXwSaZo' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen></iframe>";
$three = "<iframe width='560' height='315' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/zJ_2NTthBnU' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen></iframe>";

$array = array($one,$two,$three);
$rand = array_rand($array,1);
echo $array[$rand];

[eternalflamez]

Although when you want 17 frames maybe this is easier to maintain:
(Thanks to gokiyono for the basis)

<?php
$pre = "<iframe width='560' height='315' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/";
$pst = "' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen></iframe>";

$array = array("u0l4HMJdSf4", 
	"u0l4HMJdSf4", 
	"u0l4HMJdSf4", 
	"u0l4HMJdSf4", 
	"u0l4HMJdSf4", 
	"u0l4HMJdSf4", 
	"u0l4HMJdSf4"); //etc
$rand = array_rand($array, 1);
echo $pre. $array[$rand]. $pst;

?>

Just place the rest of the html around it.

And all you need to do to add more video's is place the id (at the end of the url) in the array as in the example.

I thought about doing something like that, I just had no idea how I would go by.
Don't mind me, I'm just saving this for later.

I am trying to runa MYSQL query which selects different entries.
I am trying only grab certain entries with a specific ID.

I have string which is equal to

OR `id` = 'id' OR `id` = 'id2'

etc

How can i append this to a mysql query which is

$getmastchio = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `mastchio` WHERE `author` = '$user_data[username]' {INSERT OR'S HERE} ORDER BY `id` DESC LIMIT 25");
		while($mastchio = mysql_fetch_array($getmastchio)) {

Thanks

You do this at the controller level now, haven't played around with rails 4 yet, but if you look for "what's new in rails 4" type posts you should be able to see how it works.

Uhm, okay:

$ors = "OR `id` = 'id' OR `id` = 'id2'";
$getmastchio = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `mastchio` WHERE `author` = '$user_data[username]' $ors ORDER BY `id` DESC LIMIT 25");
		while($mastchio = mysql_fetch_array($getmastchio)) {

Also, did you know using php's mysql_* functions is not recommended? They are deprecated, and you should us mysqli or pdo instead.

Mainly because of security, but in a while they'll remove the mysql_* functions and then your website won't work anymore. (Note, might take a few years :v:)

[KmartSqrl]

Also, do this instead of the OR id=x OR id=y

WHERE id IN ('$id1', '$id2', '$id3')

Doesn't seem to be working.

PHP:

	$getmastchio = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `mastchio` WHERE `author` = '$user_data[username]' $following ORDER BY `id` DESC LIMIT 25");
				while($mastchio = mysql_fetch_array($getmastchio)) {

Error/$following

Well, that means the query itself failed.
Around the while, place this:

if($getmastchio) {
while etc...
}
else{
      echo "Error in query :( ". mysql_error();
}

I can already guess what the error is though. Wrong quotations around the variable names.
`author`=`fran` is wrong, needs to be `author`='fran'
Notice the difference? `` <-- marks a table or field name, '' <-- marks a variable

So I was wondering if I would end up on a list for using element.class instead of just .class?

For the 404 page on my site I wanted to have randomized images (think of 4chan), problem is: I have no idea how to do that. Could anyone show me how this is done? Thanks.

What part do you now know? Custom 404 pages, or randomized images?
Randomized images is the same as [URL="http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1250244&p=40638175&viewfull=1#post40638175"][del]above[/del] previous page[/URL] but you should change the pre and pst to match an image (image tags and such). The array itself should have the file name of the image.

Alternatively to pre-set images you could also get that array of filenames from a database if you have one.

[DrunkOtter]

I already had the 404 page, just not the image script thingy.

And thanks for responding, but I already [url=http://www.marcofolio.net/webdesign/php_random_image_rotation.html]found something else[/url] which I found somewhat easy to understand.

[url=http://kmlkmljkl.tk/404.html]Example[/url] (I don't have a lot of images yet, so don't expect to see a lot of variety yet)

[asantos3]

That's easy, you can have a images folder with img1, img2, and img3 and use a simple for.
If you want cool names on your images you can list all entries in a directory see if the last charaters are .jpg, .png or .gif and store them in a array with keys and randomize those keys... Maybe?

Anyone know how to do LiveReload to a different computer?
Like I could sit in my living room (with laptop) and then it would refresh on my HTPC.

Ok, probably a really dumb question, but:

How do you display an attribute value from an XML file using HTML/Javascript?

Anyone know what font this is? I remember it from somewhere but I can't put my finger on it.

Outdated standards, generally bad examples, bad coding practice
