very nice, bloc i love it

[crip]

Could someone try to explain to me  ..exactly where and how to import this to DB?..I've tried importing this several times and I getting syntax errors because I do not know what I'm doing..and my Cpanel doesn't say much about import / export.

Thanks,
crip~

Use phpMyAdmin to import it. Have you used that before?

[Moocat]

i had to do this just recently when i switched hosting. go to your cpanel and select mySQL databases. then at the bottom hit phpmyAdmin. from there it's rather simple, and there's a nice long post from grudge on how to do it here

Simple machines sure is slow today, they running that site from a dialup connection?

I dont see any import anything in phpmyadmin, I do see export but that not gonna help I have done it once before but I cant remember where I did it at. It seems to my like once you go into myadmin it was at the top to import?

Oh well I will keep trying, I didnt read this part orginally hosed a whole install...I guess its important. internal server errors, no way to get back in.....

In phpMyAdmin, first select your database in the pop-up at the left-hand side of the window.  Then, click the little 'SQL' tab at the top of the window.  Underneath the SQL text field, there should be a table labeled 'Or, location of the text file'.
Click the 'Choose File' button, select the .sql file you downloaded in the first post, and then click 'Go'.
Voila!

This is a cool little block, but I'm having trouble with it 'underlapping' the block below it.
Attached is a screenshot of what I'm talking about... it could just be how Safari handles the css.  An easy enough fix is just to make sure it's the last block on the sidebar, but I was hoping there was another way to fix it so I can keep it in it's current position.

this code...

Code Select Expand

echo '<div style="height: '.$my_height.'ex; overflow: auto;">';
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($request)){
echo '<b>' . $row['pn_yid'] . '</b> - ' . $row['pn_content'] . '<br />';
}
echo '</ul>';
mysql_free_result($request);


..actually had an error in there. I have changed the post now, so it says:

Code Select Expand

echo '<div style="height: '.$my_height.'ex; overflow: auto;">';
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($request)){
echo '<b>' . $row['pn_yid'] . '</b> - ' . $row['pn_content'] . '<br />';
}
mysql_free_result($request);


Does that solve the problem?

[graffixjones]

Unfortunately, no.

It's probably a Safari bug... the rest of the blocks work fine...

However, I was able to echo in some table settings for the block

Code Select Expand

echo '<table width="100%" border="0"><tr><td>';
//the block code//
echo '</td></tr></table>';


And now it works fine in any position... thanks for looking into it though, I appreciate it.

Must be the div that confuse Safari. When in doubt, use a table...

[winrules]

I've had the same problem with it messing up the block under it, but in IE6. Adding the table thing worked for me, too though

So it's not just safari
