phpBB: how to add banner to the header

Posted on January 10, 2022 by

Fast tutorial for clickable adaptive (for mobiles) banner to phpBB forum header without plugins (past phpBB extension which I used for banner was vulnerable and spoiled security at my forum):

  1. Go to /styles/prosilver/template/overall_header.html
  2. Right after
    <!-- EVENT overall_header_headerbar_before -->
    add:
    <center><a href="LINK_WHERE_BANNER_MUST_LEAD" target="_blank"><img width="100%" src="LINK_TO_THE_PICTURE"></a></center>
    for example:
    <center><a href="https://www.labirint.ru/books/822167/?p=33449" target="_blank"><img width="100%" src="https://vidforum.ru/images/icons/book.jpg"></a></center>
  3. Now clean cache – delete folder: cache/production/twig
  4. Enjoy your banner! It will be adaptive, which means that it will be shown on mobile devices in proper proportions.

Hope to see your comments! 🙂

How to strip date / time in Notepad ++ (regular expressions)

Posted on January 3, 2022 by

The task is to remove the date or time in the log file, for example, this:

[11:33] hello
[11:35] how to replace timestamp with a space?
[12:16] probably this can be done using regular expressions
[12:44] I tried period (.) But nothing comes out
[15:12] how to remove numbers from the log?

To do this, we turn to the (my favorite) Notepad ++ editor which is free and open-source.

C++ Builder “Community Edition EULA Reminder”

Posted on January 3, 2022 by

I use for development C++ Builder Community Edition which is very nice IDE. In past update of C++ Builder Community Edition (from 10.3 to 10.4) there is a problem appear: every time when I compile the code I get pop-up window: “Community Edition EULA Reminder”:

Apparently this promp appears if project got  > 70000 lines of code (with comments). This is quite tediously to click it every time when I compile my non-commercial project…

I wonder why Embarcadero did this.. There are plenty of other IDE’s without such stupid prompt. I’m pretty sure that this reminder actually reminds programmers that maybe they should port their project to another IDE?..

Gmail lifehack: dots in email

Posted on November 23, 2021 by

A funny (and quite important) thing that very few people know: the dots in the email on gmail.com does not matter. Therefore, these addresses:

vasia.pupkin@gmail.com
va.sia.pup.kin@gmail.com
v.a.s.i.a.p.u.p.k.i.n@gmail.com

… are the same: vasiapupkin@gmail.com

This is sometimes used by scammers, because emails with dots which are not hosted on gmail are considered as different ones. Be careful!

[solution] Photoshop turn off grid default

Posted on November 22, 2021 by

I’ve noticed that every time when I open Photoshop – it has grids turned on by default and each time I had to hide it by pressing Ctrl+h. Finally I found solution:

Go to top menu and find there:
View → Show → None
(see the picture to the left)

Now restart Photoshop and you won’t see the grid anymore.. Finally! 😀

PHP: simple MySQL database query, form and button

Posted on July 2, 2021 by

Getting started with databases in PHP can seem daunting if you’re trying to eat an elephant right off the bat and making queries that are overly complex. Let’s start with the most basic simple database query to understand the general principle. A working code that can be copied is at the end of the post.

Examples:
1) output and print one value from the MySQL database in PHP, in our example we will extract the name of the seventh player;
2) make a form on the site (drop-down list) with a button to send the selected value from the form to the program and get the necessary data from the MySQL database.

C language: implicit type conversion example

Posted on June 10, 2021 by

One of the most hardcore stuff in C language is implicit type conversion. If you don’t watch for it – you will be in big trouble. Take a look at this code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main (void)
{
int a = -10;
unsigned int b = 5U;
long int c = a + b; // signed + unsigned

printf ("1) (signed int)a -10 will look as unsigned like this: %u\n", a);

printf ("2) (signed)a(-10) + (unsigned)b(5) = %ld\n", c);

return 0;
}

Implicit type conversion ranks:

bool
 char
  unsigned char
   short int
    unsigned short int
     int
      unsigned int
       long int
        unsigned long int
         long long int
          unsigned long long int
           float
            double
             long double
