    Anybody else think that migrating Wordpress sites is unnecessarily complicated?

    Posted: 24 Apr 2018 04:41 AM PDT

    So, I just started working with Wordpress regularly as both a site admin and developer coming from a background in Drupal and Joomla. I'm sure everyone has their own opinions, but I find the migration process a pain and I don't really understand the necessity to hard code the site URLs into so much of the DB and codebase. I'm sure there's a good design decision behind that, or at least an argument for one, but from my uninformed perspective it just adds a step in deployment that I'd rather not think about. Rant over.

    A Discord for those of us just starting out

    Posted: 24 Apr 2018 03:58 PM PDT

    https://discord.gg/tkqhz9q

    I made this server a few days ago when a post I made on r/learnprogramming about starting to learn programming/development got a surprising amount of attention. There were a lot of people on the post who had also just started out that wanted to share ideas and work, critique one another, or keep one another motivated. I figured if the demand was that high that we may as well have a Discord server so even if I'm not around there'll be someone else to talk to, and vice versa.

    There are currently about 5-10 people occupying the server at any given time, there's almost always someone there to talk to right when you need it, and it's a very friendly and supportive group we've got on there now. There are people at varying levels of experience as well, so there's some support for just about anyone that's just starting out or that's been learning for a little while.

    Cheers!

    I'm looking for a good example or a tutorial on how to create simple works of art and/or logos using CSS effects applied to drag and droppable DOM elements like images, text, and anything else that would be appropriate.

    Posted: 24 Apr 2018 03:57 PM PDT

    In scratching my head trying to figure this out.

    I have no clue what I'm doing, I saw a good example that had layers on www.picsplosion.com but that site seems to depend on the backend for various elements that seem like they can be done in CSS.

    Is there a tool for scraping dead links? (important to me!)

    Posted: 24 Apr 2018 03:22 PM PDT

    Let's say that I own multiple youtube channels with a lot of videos. Let's say that those videos have links to sites which I have dropped.

    Is there a tool which could scrape for dead links like that? It isn't a regular ''check website for dead links'' tool, it would need to be more flexible than this. Like searching from a specific yt channel or searching by keywords or something.

    This is very important to me, so I would really appreciate any help.

    Is it bad that I console.log everything?

    Posted: 23 Apr 2018 08:44 PM PDT

    It's actually a rhetorical question. I mainly work with Angular/Node/Express/Postgres. My main mode of debugging is to use console.log's to check if my expected output is being ran in code, and then go from there. I do this for both front-end and back-end. Also I copy and paste some warnings I get from Angular or Sequelize onto a Google search to find a related Stack Overflow question. There's gotta be a better way of debugging. What do you guys do?

    Edit: I have heard of a chrome browser for Node so that you don't have to use the terminal for debugging. I am not sure if that's much better though.

    How can I make it so that if a function is called multiple times, it only fires once after the last time it's been called while also scoping it so each instance is separate?

    Posted: 24 Apr 2018 01:25 PM PDT

    The title's probably a bit confusing, so let me try to explain what I'm going for. In my current project, I have a file called helpers.js which is full of useful functions that I use universally around my project. The important one to note is this:

    // helpers.js var isFinished; module.exports.fireOnceUponEventEnd = (func, time = 250) => { window.clearTimeout(isFinished); isFinished = setTimeout(() => { func(); }, time); }

    This function basically sets a timer that's 250ms long by default. Every time this function is called again, it resets the timer. When the timer finally reaches 0 without being reset, it fires whatever function you passed in. So in a situation like this:

    // app.js import { fireOnceUponEventEnd } from './helpers.js'; var sayHello = function() { console.log('Hello!'); } var doAction = function() { fireOnceUponEventEnd(sayHello); } doAction(); doAction(); doAction(); doAction();

    You'd end up with only one console log that would fire 250ms after the last time doAction() is called.

    This works perfectly except for one issue, scoping. Since the isFinished variable is declared globally inside helpers.js, it means that if I had two different files that both needed to use the fireOnceUponEventEnd function at the same time, it'd only fire for one of them.

    I've tried changing the scope of the function like so:

    module.exports.scopedFireOnceUponEventEnd = function(func, time = 250) { this.isFinished; (function(){ window.clearTimeout(this.isFinished); this.isFinished = setTimeout(() => { func(); }, time); }()); }

    But that did not work.

    The outcome that I'm looking for would be something like this:

    // firstScript.js import { fireOnceUponEventEnd } from './helpers.js'; var sayHello = function() { console.log('Hello!'); } var doAction = function() { fireOnceUponEventEnd(sayHello); } doAction(); doAction(); doAction(); doAction(); 
    // secondScript.js import { fireOnceUponEventEnd } from './helpers.js'; var sayGoodbye = function() { console.log('Goodbye!'); } var doAnotherAction = function() { fireOnceUponEventEnd(sayGoodbye); } doAnotherAction(); doAnotherAction(); doAnotherAction(); doAnotherAction(); 
    // index.html <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <body> <script src="./firstScript.js"></script> <script src="./secondScript.js"></script> </body> </html>

    The desired outcome would be logging "Hello!" and "Goodbye!" exactly once 250ms after the last time doAction() and doAnotherAction() are called respectively.

    How can I achieve this functionality while making sure that each instance of this function is completely independent from any other?

    Alternatives to SiteGround for idiot proof hosting for clients cornershop Wordpress sites?

    Posted: 24 Apr 2018 12:44 PM PDT

    Just simple sites with their menu or a PDF flyer, very low traffic but I hear horror stories of SiteGround sites going down because of CPU compute time ran over their $5 a month allotment. Ideally something the client can sign up to themselves and just give me the password to set up their basic site. I figure r/webdev would know the best answer for an idiot like me, and maybe save my clients a bit of a headache from SiteGround. But a service they could sign up to themselves and has it's own support and is just for Wordpress or maybe WooCommerce would be mint, I'd not be contractually liable (or personally liable, as a sole-trader) for any hosting problems if it were a service they signed up for and paid themselves.

    Good business website hosts that fit business needs?

    Posted: 24 Apr 2018 12:40 PM PDT

    Hi Everyone,

    I'm going to be putting up a business website soon that is coaching oriented through videos, and will need to process CC payments.

    I ran across this webhost (http://domain.gowebbi.com/) as a possible fit. Do you guys think the deluxe package is pretty good for a business website?

    What are some other common webhosting features that all business websites need in order to make sure CC law compliance and other needs are met?

    Thanks! Not incredibly knowledgeable on all this, so I am grateful for your courtesy and help.

    Questions about building a site with HTML. Big thanks in advance here.

    Posted: 24 Apr 2018 12:07 PM PDT

    Is HTML free (Free to use, free to maintain)? What are the limits or disadvantage to build a functioning website with HTML? I need to build a site with some functions in it but I am no savvy in coding. How long would it to master it (including CSS&MySQL I guess). Or should I hire some professionals? How much will it cost normally?

    Recommendation on managing multiple git projects

    Posted: 24 Apr 2018 12:01 PM PDT

    Hi,

    I am working on a project where there are 3 separate git projects for a single software - web application, ios app, and android app. I am finding it inconvenient having to manage 3 separate projects and project management environments. I'd assume same issue is there with github.

    Is there a way to have a single project management interface that ties into 3 separate repositories? Maybe there is a way to set this up in github or gitlab or if there is an external service/tool that works with github/gitlab, that would work as well.

    Thank you.
