If you're not sure what to do for the admin page.

Look at bootstrap

http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/

You can whip up a decent looking administration backend pretty quickly.

As for functionality, you will want to include things like comment moderation, News CRUD. A user CRUD also.

Very good work, it's nice, clean and does it's job - just a couple of things:

- index.php?page=comments&id=54 - you should definitely use a slug: /facebook-hosting-windows-8-hackathon, page=comments is not a good representation

- also show news title in the page <title></title>, it still says Home even when it's not on 'home'

Just my personal take on it: it's not really a comments page, it's a news page with comment functionality... Using something like the page/news title as the url is much more relevant.

And as above.. SEO purposes.

It works but needs a lot of css styling. It's looks like a shell only.

Did you read the first post?

in particular thisbit

Ignore the actual site layout it was just thrown together so i could work on it as if it was part of a site

You forgot to validate the ID

http://www.haggistec...nts&id=mouhhaha

will give a mysql error...

Good job for a first try :) !

Thank you, i will fix that :)

i am escaping the string and should now not work like that

this should work now

http://www.haggistec...ents&id=muhahah

escaping...assuming you're using mysqli_real_escape_string then?

Not necessarily secure from what I've read.

Thoughts on:


$id = preg_match("/^[0-9]+$/", $_GET['id']);
[/CODE]

Doing anything on the page= btw?

These days it's a bit of a myth about the address affecting SEO. Always a good idea to include the title though simply because people search for words.

/news/index.php?page=comments&id=54 isn't brilliant.

/news/index.php?page=comments&title=facebook-hosting-windows-8-hackathon is better (and Google can understand query strings)

My own personal blog that I'm creating uses entry.php?entry=title-of-post&category=category-of-post

      The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
    • Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account

      "it opens up new doors for people who prefer using Edge, but cannot be bothered to configure a Microsoft account" You already have a Microsoft account if you are using Windows 11, because you can't set it up without one.
