Well I think I have everything done for assignment two. This took me way too long to carry out, not the real working — coding and image making — but the getting started. The actual time was 2 and half hours to get up and done. To start with I was not really wanting to start the assignment because I didn’t really get what the assignment was going to eventually get used as. That is hard for me when designing something. I need a little something to go by. In the end I just reused the site I made last quarter for Photoshop class and change the css a bit. I also made a quick logo/image to go with it. Plus I cleaned up Assignment One making it a google doc now. It is all updated on the profile page and the google doc has all the links that it needs and is working.
It will be an interesting quarter taking both C# and the PHP classes. I see already that I need to somehow read and do the different assignments on different days or something. This weekend I read both together and did very poorly on the C# test. This is going to have to change. Also it doesn’t help that I am working on a Mac, not so much for PHP but for the C#. I installed mono but can’t figure out how to do anything like f5 in the program. I can do the examples but not know if they are error free and run. So I am going to get parallels and win7 and that I am sure will help. So from now on the first part of the week is for php and the last is for C#. I’ll see how that goes.
As I read over this I see that a lot of it is about the C# and not PHP. I hope that is alright for that was my biggest problem this week.
Kevin,
By looking at the source/output of your template.php page it looks like you may not have cut up your template in a way that will work with the ITC280 class.
The template page needs to be split into a top and bottom of the page that includes all structural HTML including html and body tags.
We are going to swap out entire headers and footers in a ‘theme’. We can’t do this if structural HTML is included in the guts (identity) area of the page.
Since I can’t find your actual header.php page, I don’t know this is the case, but it will reveal itself as we move forward and theme our sites.
So, if your header and footer are split as described, no problem. Otherwise you’ll need to re-cut them in the near future.
Email, if you have questions!
