XO Hosting Review

Sep 23 1:47

I’ve been fortunate to work with John Klein and some of the ladies over at KMP Advertising to help them create their new website. They created a beautiful website that I was proud to develop for them.

I built the website with a simple php include template and basic htaccess rewrite for the client pages.

XO Hosting meets Ashton Sanders

We had been planning on switching hosting accounts to my server, but when XO Hosting (there previous hosting provider) promised that it would destroy the email setup, we decided to keep it there. No problem. How bad could it be? If nothing else I will get to write a lengthy XO Hosting Review…

Last night, I started transferring the new website files to the XO Hosting server. I went to test one of the simplest pages on the site, and got an error that said:  “CGI Scripting not allowed on this server.” Well that stinks. I waited till this morning so I could contact their technical support.

Thankfully, turning CGI Scripting (and PHP) was easy enough to do. Unfortunately, I hadn’t even gotten started on the problems with XO Hosting. Continue Reading…

Wordpress Events Calendar Plugin H2 Bug

Sep 10 20:15

Filed under: Wordpress

I just installed WP Events Calendar (6.6-beta) for the first time and installed the large calendar on a page.

For some reason, the Month of the Calendar was an

and I couldn’t find the “Previous Month” and “Next Month” buttons. That is because there is an <H2> before the table that houses the months…

You can edit the HTML of that section aroun line 400 of “events-calendar/ec_calendar.class.php” Here’s what I did.

Before:

<h2 style="text-align:center;">
<table id="CalendarLarge-Header" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0">
<tr>
<td width="25%"><div align="left"><span id="EC_previousMonthLarge"></span></div></td>
<td width="50%"><div id="EC_current-month" align="center"><div id="EC_ajaxLoader"><img src="$ajax_loader" /></div>$titMonth $year</div></td>
<td width="25%" align="right"><span id="EC_nextMonthLarge"></span></td>
</tr>
</table>
</h2>

After:

<table id="CalendarLarge-Header" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0">
<tr>
<td width="25%"><div align="left"><span id="EC_previousMonthLarge"></span></div></td>
<td width="50%"><div id="EC_current-month" align="center"><div id="EC_ajaxLoader"><img src="$ajax_loader" /></div><h3>$titMonth $year</h3></div></td>
<td width="25%" align="right"><span id="EC_nextMonthLarge"></span></td>
</tr>
</table>

I just took out the <h2> and added an <h3> around the $titMonth $year. You can edit it as you wish.

Enjoy,
Ashton Sanders
