Bug fix on the seminar apps

From Kabutoshimen by Toryu

Every December the Next month seminars would show the whole past year. It was a scripting bug that I have fixed now. Since it is december next month it should default to January and forwards, but there is also a tab with Next years seminars so instead I added a message that it is the end of this year and look at next year for future seminars.

Here is the PHP code if you want include it on your web site.

<?php
$nextmonth = mktime(0, 0, 0, date(“m”)+1);
$monta = date(“m”, $nextmonth);
if ( $monta == “01″ )
{ $yerra = date(“Y”)+1 ;
echo “<p>It is probably December now, click on Seminars next year</p>”;
}
else
{ $yerra = date(“Y”) ;
$ch = curl_init(“http://www.kesshi.com/cgi-bin/SEMINARS-ME2.cgi?$yerra-$monta”);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
}
?>

If you want more examples how to display seminars from the database on your web site, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
I really do encourage all web masters to use any code they want (mine or modified) to display seminars from the seminar database.

From Kabutoshimen by Toryu

Here is a tutorial how to put headlines from the Bujinkan.ME Superfeed EN on your own web site.

Put this code in your html doc where ever you want it to show.

<script src=”http://feedproxy.google.com/SuperfeedEN?format=sigpro” type=”text/javascript” ></script><noscript><p>Subscribe to RSS headline updates from: <a href=”http://feedproxy.google.com/SuperfeedEN”></a><br/>Powered by FeedBurner</p> </noscript>

You can add your own style, override settings and more, see this guide!

then you can spend more time on training, I will explain it further down.

If you subscribe to our RSS Feeds, please change them to the following feed instead. You gain a lot more features, you can mark, share, e-mail and more, and it looks better to.
http://feedproxy.google.com/SuperfeedEN (English version)
http://feedproxy.google.com/SuperfeedSE (Swedish version)

Some of you might wonder what this RSS/Syndication and stuff means. Well read on…

Do you recognize yourself?
You are interested in Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu (I assume that since you you found this message), and spend quite a lot of time on internet going to different web sites searching for new postings. Some web sites is difficult to find the newest postings, you have to log in and after one or many clicks you find something you think you haven’t read, maybe you already read it? It is very easy to miss something interesting, because the lack of features on the web site (search function for example), or because the interesting stuff was posted on a website you don’t know about. Maybe this is why you google for new web sites. Maybe you stopped doing this because it takes too much time.

Well this is the old way, there is a much better way, it is called RSS (Really Simple Syndication), to put it simple is like subscribing to one or many newspapers. What you need is something that can read feeds (the news papers). I personally have a Google account and use the Google Reader. With that I can access all my feeds from any computer and phone (see the screen dumps below). I’m not bound to one computer to do this.

on the iPhone

There is many other ways to do it, there is many different readers (Aggregators), I like the google one because I’m not dependent of which computer or device I must use. I can use any device with an internet connection and log in to my account (I mostly use the iPhone on the bus, subway or any time I chose). As you can see on the screen dumps I subscribe to several other feeds to. I only to go to the web site if the content I read interest me enough.

Note 1. It is completely up to the web master of the original feed if the content is web optimized (text formatting, pictures etc), and if the whole article can be read. We can only forward what we get, so don’t complain to us because you can only read the first five words on the Kutaki channel. Just click on the header link to go to the original web site if it interest you.

Note 2. We took the freedom to add small google ads at the bottom of each post. You will hardly notice them after a while. If you click on them you are sponsoring our web sites and work.

Note 3. In the subject header the [brackets] indicate what web site it originates from, our script remove the “www” and takes the first twelve or so characters up until the first “.”, when you opened the post the subject is always linked to the original posting.

My shared items

When I find something I think is good, I click “share” on my reader, then it will be posted here. You can also subscribe to my picks, articles that I have read and I think is good.
Note that there will be a lot of unrelated stuff (not only Bujinkan).…

How the site looks on different browsers

From Kabutoshimen by Toryu

I’ve been working with two stylesheets, one for devices bigger than 480px which would be people browsing on a computer. And one stylesheet that gets called if the screen resolution is smaller, which would be mobile devices, specifically for iPhone and iTouch.

These pages look best in the following order Safari then Firefox. Opera and iExplorer last. Click on the next page to see screendumps from each browser.

Safari 3.12 (as it should look)

Firefox 3.01 (missing the glow effect on headers)

Opera 9.20 (also missing the rounded corners in headers)

iExplorer 7 (looks similar to Opera, the menu (not showed here) looks weird and needs more tweaking)

This is how it looks with Safari on the iPhone


It would be interesting to see screendumps from other browsers, especially phones. Please send it to us!…

Hello world!

This web site is under construction. It is optimized for iPhone and browsers capable of CSS3/W3C standards such as Safari, Opera and Firefox.…

Web site uppdates

From Kabutoshimen by Toryu

I made an even smaller seminar application that you can put on your web sites, check it out here. I forgot to tell you about the two previous versions, the slick one and the facebook application. It is still free to advertice seminars! For more info see here.

I updated the Shugyou portal now with seminar lists for this year and next year. When we moved the websites to a new server some things crashed. I found out that the newsletter mod didn’t work, and I had to upgrade this module. And even that one did not work, so I had to spend half the day reading support forums, and I finally fixed it. So if you subscribe to the newsletters you have a new mail from us today.

BTNet is also up and running, the forum software is still beta, but it seems pretty stable now. I won’t do any major work on it until the stable release. But this concerns only the back end, so start using it, the messages will still be there after the uppgrade…

There is a lot of new pictures up at the Kaigozan photo album. There was however a lot of spam on it, so I had to update the software. But it is still possible to add spam. It is quite easy to remove, but if it get too much I will close the registration process and ask you to contact me if you want to add pictures. But until then, please start uploading your pictures (Bujinkan related only!).…

Hemsideuppdateringar

From Kabutoshimen by Toryu

Har uppgraderat fotoalbumet till coppermine 1.4.14. Laddade upp en hel bunt bilder igår också. Det var en hel del spam på albumet, det var ganska enkelt att ta bort. Jag tänkte prova och se om man kan öppna upp så att man kan registrera sig igen. Blir det spam igen så stänger vi och man måste mejla admin för att bli godkänd.

Forumet tror jag att jag glömt blogga också har blivit uppgraderat. Finns det intresse för medlemmar så öppnar vi ett Kaigozan forum på BTNet, aktivera er på forumet först!

Lade till en Clustermap längst ner till vänster också. Snart kan man se loggstatistik varifrån alla besökare kommer.…
