Another CSS Tabs Script

Ali — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 13:26:22 +0000

Ok guys, we had an older version of tabs in 2006, and a lot of my readers were interested and used that script, yesterday I was going through my project’s folder and came through a file that my brother Ali Imran created a while ago, we used it for our own usage, so I thought why not to share with you which may save you some time when you have to meet a deadline and you have no time, this quick example will make you tabs like this (preview)

the good thing about this script is that it generates the required html code in seconds, you dont need to write anything from scratch, however you can make them look more beautiful by making changes in the CSS, so that’s totally up to you. Here is the link for it

First step is to tell how many tabs you want, second is to paste your text / html code that you to be dispayed in tab and also select the tab which should be selected when the tabs are loaded, and then click on “generate code”, and that’s it. I hope it will help someone and save some time, thanks to Ali Imran.

Freelancing / Freelancer Custom PHP Script

Ali — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 13:14:10 +0000

There are a few freelancing scripts available in market to run a website like elance.com, Guru.com, GetAFreelancer.com and Scriptlance.om however those script are buggy and lack a lot of features that can help admin to keep track of the payments, transactions etc etc. I recently developed (98% completed) a scrip for one of my client that has a lot of great features that help admin to run a freelancing / bidding website like scriptlance.com

Freelacing Script

I prefer scriptlance because its one of the great freelancing websites, so almost all of the features are copied from it, and an advance backend Administration Panel to manage each and every aspect of the website. Below is a quick overview of the script:

1. User Authentication
2. User Login Registration
3. User Account Balance
4. Escrow (approve / cancel)
5. Transactions Logs
6. Withdraw money (add / edit) - transaction logs
7. Review / Rate User
8. Transfer money
9. Selected programmer / (buyer / webmaster review)
10. Posting projects
11. Placing bids (different if certified programmer, other have different colors)
12. Sending private messages
13. Buyer / Provider Profiles
14. Project Types (featured, urgent, hidden)
15. User Groups (buyer, provide, admin)

Admin Panel has features i.e.

16. General Settings (Site settings, Commission Settings, General Settings, Backup Options)
17. Out Going Emails Managament
18. Advance User Management
19. Projects Management
20. Category Management
21. Transactions Management
22. Feedback Management
23. Finance Management
24. Reported Material Management
25. Payment Logs and Statistics

each of these modules are developed in-depth, since money is involved in such websites, we have taken advance steps to avoid fraud. You can view the demo here

Demo 1 : http://www.clixint.net/freelance/james/
Demo 2 : http://www.clixint.net/freelance/yvette/

The Demo 1 is more complete, however the demo 2 it not updated. Please use the following account to test different functionalities..

Service Provider account
username : webby
password : a

Service Buyer Account
username : infotech
password : a

Please use “infotech” account to post projects and then use “webby” account to test bidding and private messages. Since “InfoTech” account has 0 balance, first try to transfer money form “Webby” account to “InfoTech” and then post a featured / urgent / hidden project. Some quick ajax is used while posting review, posting messages, placing bids etc.

If anyone interested to see the advance Administration Panel of this script, you can request through Clixint Tech’s contact form.

Well, its been more than 6 months, I designed a very quick and small CMS for Grace Association Pakistan. This mini CMS is completely template driven that means all the design elements .tpl files are separate in ./templates folder and a small secure Admin Panel to manage and edit those .tpl files through an advance WYSIWYG Editor. You can see it live on our website here

Grace endeavors to empower and improve the quality of life of the marginalized and vulnerable communities of least developed parts of the country on sustainable basis through participatory research, development and knowledge management, advocacy by launching sustainable and replicable projects and building partnerships.

I got Samsung Omnia, lost my K-Jam

Ali — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 20:33:42 +0000

I have been a windows mobiles lover since last 2 years, since I am a programmer and most of my time is spent in front of my computer, so kind of a techie person and I really love to have windows in my hand with my MSN logged in all the time wherever I am. Now a few days back I lost my K-Jam, good for the person who found it, but its too bad that even my address and all details were there, he never contacted me, too bad !

My K-Jam experience

K-Jam is my all time favorite because of its great look and the QWERTY keypad, that makes it extremely easy to type messages and answer to support tickets, forums etc very efficiently, but the touch of K-Jam is not as efficient as Omnia, the availability of mouse pointer in Omnia is another good feature in Omnia. K-Jam was using Windows CE 5.0 and Samsung has introduced its first windows mobile with Windows 6.1 Professional, which has many good features.

The Samsung Omnia experience

Omnia has some really great features, the Wi-Fi, Motion Sensor, Mouse Pointer, Default software are good and the sensor makes a very good experience. However I believe since it does not have the sliding keypad, I think I would still prefer a cellphone with that keypad, the touch screen is way better than K-Jam and calling experience is also great, its 5.0 MP camera with auto-focus is also great. Currently I am loving its features but I believe in the long run, I will get back to any other mobile with QWERTY keypad, I am planning to go for HTC Diamond this time, it does have a good look + a keypad that I prefer.
