My PureBasic Stuff

Post by JHPJHP »

Hi All,

I am now registered with a paid web service https://x10premium.com, hosting all my scripts and programs written over the years https://www.mypurebasicstuff.com.

Using Bootstrap (developed by a couple guys from Twitter), the page will auto-configure to most mobile devices, including changes between portrait and landscape.

View the site from both a smart phone and laptop to see the configuration differences.
- click a menu item or a carousel image to open a download window
- click the title in a download window to be redirected to relevant information
- click a video link in a download window to view a demo of the program (work in progress)

I suck at design but have been doing web dev since HTML 3.1. Now days I just use WP and write child themes and break out python for CGI.

Pro tip: Avoid @media/"adaptive" and stick with percentages/"responsive" and float if you make layouts from scratch. You'll have to deal with far less platform bugs if you use this framework though.. Double size of bitmaps and scale down for pixel-ratio of mobiles.
The truth hurts.

Personally, I was using Concrete5, that was a leading CMS in terms of functionalities for years, WYSIWYG and in-place editing from the very beginning ; but with Wix, it's so easy that the interest of website development is for me really limited, except for specific needs or because it's cheaper.

Hi djes,

Thank you for the kudos :!:

-------------------------------------

Hi tj1010,

Thank you for the advice... for the most part @media (Media Queries) are "adaptive", but can still be used successfully in a "responsive" web design.

-------------------------------------

Website Updated:
- I will not be posting additional status updates

NB*: Make sure to Refresh the webpage a couple times after opening, otherwise you may be viewing a previously cached version.

Float replaces the @media in the hybrid design flow. This is what Google has always used in their layout frameworks.

@media is easier though. I still use that unless I do a purely response fit design.

Well it's the easiest way to compensate ^^. I also thought about WP (as my designer taste probably is just ridiculous), but anyway finally decided to make all the stuff from scratch and even liked that :mrgreen:

Anyway here is small overview of your results from nothing to do:
1) I found those forum links from gallery somehow confusing on your page, after clicking on images it is rather expected something like enlarged version of image.
2) The other problem is that gallery just becomes a vegetable if JS disabled, as well as that fancy background animation disappears (and it also has no compatibility with some older browsers still used).

// what about mobiles I don't know, never cared about compatibility with all those one-button things, filling my lovely WWW with primitiveness :3

Hi Lunasole,

Thank you for the constructive criticism.

You and me both :) that's why I removed and replaced them (work in progress) with something less confusing :mrgreen:

People who have JS disabled or use an older browser should have their license to the internet revoked :P

Hi All,

I am in the process of adding demonstration videos to My PureBasic Stuff website.

I added my first two videos, created using the Video Snipping Tool setup as a PureBasic Tool; the entire process took less then a minute for each video.

Invading Space Aliens & Death Star vs Asteroids
1. From the website; located in the top right corner of every download window is a video icon.
2. Click the icon to open and play the video.
3. Click the title in the video window to return back to the download window.

NB*: Videos not yet uploaded will display the following error message: This type of video file isn't supported.

Hi All,

This is just a quick note to inform anyone interested that https://www.mypurebasicstuff.com has moved from free webservices to a three year paid service plan. In addition, the site has been fitted with an SSL certificate.

NOTE: I am not sure when it started, but some of the URL links from PureBasic to https://www.mypurebasicstuff.com returned an error. Fiddling with the htaccess file fixed the problem.

NB*: The htaccess file has been updated to force redirection from HTTP traffic to HTTPS.

Hi All,

My website will be down for an undetermined amount of time while I preform some maintenance.

I am currently in the process of deciding if I'm going to update my website from its donation based layout to a more strict payment design.

NB*: Unfortunately, I don't have much time to spend on the forum these days, and the option to notify me when a reply is posted does not seem to work.
