I cant figure out how to modify it.

Im not sure how/where it tells it to place the image once clicked. It says its inserting a div above the <ul> ?

It’s not inserting anything. There’s the element "div.galleria_wrapper" containing an "img.replaced" child. When a thumbnail is clicked, it’s replacing the src of "img.replaced" to the source of the new image.

hmm… i think i see where its doing this.. in line 91 of the galleria.js file…What would i change it to do at the end of the </ul>

I currently going to using Zencart for a skateshop that will most likely have 75items or less, is there any other ebusiness types out there thats better than Zencart? that doesnt cost money?

wheres a good place to buy cheap templates?

Ubercart and Magento are carts that I think are better than ZenCart. Both are open source.

Zen-Cart. lol

Go with Ubercart if you want something relatively easy. Go with Magento if you’re willing to hire a web developer. The Magento learning curve is too steep for newbies, especially folks that are from the Zen-Cart community.

I want to have an author user group that can write content, save drafts, edit their drafts, and be able to submit/nominate their drafts for publication. The editor user group (or just admins) should be able to view all content and publish it.

Are there any contributed modules you guys know of that would add this kind of functionality? Or are there keywords you can think of that I could use to search?

If one doesn’t exist it should be relatively easy to write your own with hook_nodeapi and conditionally change the node’s status on submit, e-mail necessary roles about the new post, etc.

any recommendation on virtual hosting plan?

You’ll get shut down/charged if you go over your limits.

what do you guys use for mass mailing? I have about 10k users emails in a database that I need to export…i’ve used aweber but it only lets you import 2k emails daily and I wasn’t a fan…

run your own mail servers if you’re blasting different people every time (ie: order fulfillment, welcome letters, etc.) if youre wanting to manage a list, use aweber or lyris.

i’ve set up several servers using interspire to create the mail, and it just runs off a postfix MTA.

I’ve ran an online forum for about 7 years now. Large member base, but I now want to expand on the site, but my current .com domain name is long(3 words) and a direct description of a product the site was originally based around.

I’ve been using the initials of the 3 word domain name as the site title for a couple years now and it has become well known, so I’ve been looking to get a new domain name to reflect that, but all obvious names are taken or "premiere" domain names ranging from $12k – $18k.

I have this bigcartel account that gives me a simple but professional web store. People tell me I should build my own store because the code on the store is very hard to tweak. Im kinda stubborn and Im just gonna stick with bigcartel.com. Anyways, my theme looks like this:

It has these thumbnail squares on the right that I would like to get ride of. The reason is because I don’t have much to sell, and it’s empty space. Instead of the squares I’d like a scroll bar section that fits that area. I’d like to just put content and images there. It might sound simple but I herd 2 people say it’s hard to work with that code. Can someone do this for me and I’ll pay a reasonable price…? If you can, please contact me on aim @ tehum

Ok so I’ve got some massive databases. Some of them have some massive innodb tables.

My ibdata1 file is pushing 355gigs, it sits on a 500gig partition, so combined with everything else…things were getting hairy.

I decided to mysqldump all the db’s, backup up /var/lib/mysql to a cloud instance and restore the databases, therefore shrinking the ibdata1 file. (I truncated TONS of innodb data from tables).

Problem is while importing the mysqldump I hit a bad query and it stops, about 4-5 hours into the import. Tried again with –force, and still killed the import.
