Site like freelancer i need help

PHP
1

Hello
Me and my brother are making site similar to freelancer but we run into some problems…
Here is the site for reference but it is in BETA version so any suggestions will be accepted: DesignMansion - Home
The problems we have are:
Contact page is working but when someone sends us message and click contact we don’t receive mail,and we have admin panel where is place for admin mail we placed mail but still doesn’t work.
Second problem is that someone helps us in creating payment gateway for paypal and moneybookers and give us a little help for that,we have on site everything for paypal an moneybookers but we don’t know how to use it :slight_smile:
And third problem is that slideshow is moving when someone zooms the page,so how to fix that?

Thank you all

You down your site from server ? i tried to see websites but page can’t displayed i got

I know you’re not asking for help with this, but I’m going to present a bigger problem… you’re proposing to be a “freelancer.com” for designers, yet the design of your own website is severely under-par. Don’t underestimate the importance of a well-designed website to designers… if you want people using your site, you will have to redesign it from the ground up. I suggest you hire a top-tier interface designer to do this work for you.

Regarding the other questions, they’re specific technical problems that can’t be solved without a lot of details and a work. You should consider hiring someone to fix them for you.

Cheers,

Steve

So what are your main concern about the site what would you like to change?

Well, the design is looking a bit faded, like sites we saw around 1999/2000. Of course, that’s my personal opinion, and design is very subjective.

The thing with the large images on the home is aligned to the right of the page in Firefox 4, which causes horizontal scroll bars to appear.

Hosting your website on a free hosting package doesn’t inspire confidence and will stop people from signing up and paying for your services.

But if you really want someone to take an in-depth look, you should post about it in the correct section of the forums: Website Reviews - SitePoint Forums

Well about that slideshow i don’t know how to fix it so it stays in one place that is why i posted here so someone can help me :slight_smile:
And about hosting site is in beta version it will be designed more and of course real hosting will be bought in few week or so…so this is only preview :slight_smile:

Thanks

<style type=“text/css”>
body {
background-image: url(…/…/BG1.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
</style>
{OVERALL_HEADER}<table width=“780” border=“0” align=“center” cellpadding=“0” cellspacing=“0”>
<tr>
<td valign=“top”><br>
<form name=“form1” method=“post” action=“”>
<table border=“0” cellpadding=“0” cellspacing=“0”>
<tr class=“normal”>
<td width=“150”>{LANG_NAMECOM}:</td>

step 1: Wrap that thing in some tags so it’s readable.

sorry how do you mean?

<tag>

<?php
require_once(‘includes/config.php’);
require_once(“includes/classes/class.phpmailer.php”);
require_once(‘includes/classes/class.template_engine.php’);
require_once(‘includes/functions/func.global.php’);
session_start();
$config[‘lang’] = check_user_lang($config);
require_once(‘includes/lang/lang_’.$config[‘lang’].‘.php’);

db_connect($config);

check_cookie($_SESSION,$config);

if(!isset($_POST[‘Submit’]))
{
$page = new HtmlTemplate (“templates/” . $config[‘tpl_name’] . “/contact.html”);
$page->SetParameter (‘OVERALL_HEADER’, create_header($config,$lang,$lang[‘CONTACT’]));
if (isset($_SESSION[‘user’][‘name’]))
{
$page->SetParameter (‘USERNAME’, $_SESSION[‘user’][‘name’]);
$page->SetParameter (‘NAME’, $_SESSION[‘user’][‘comp’]);
$page->SetParameter (‘TYPE’, $_SESSION[‘user’][‘type’]);
$page->SetParameter (‘EMAIL’, $_SESSION[‘user’][‘email’]);
}
else
{
$page->SetParameter (‘USERNAME’, ‘’);
$page->SetParameter (‘NAME’, ‘’);
$page->SetParameter (‘TYPE’, ‘’);
$page->SetParameter (‘EMAIL’, ‘’);
}
$page->SetParameter (‘OVERALL_FOOTER’, create_footer($config,$lang));
$page->CreatePageEcho($lang,$config);
}
else
{
$page = new HtmlTemplate (“templates/” . $config[‘tpl_name’] . “/email_contact.html”);
$page->SetParameter (‘SITE_TITLE’, $config[‘site_title’]);
$page->SetParameter (‘EMAIL’, $_POST[‘email’]);
$page->SetParameter (‘TYPE’, $_POST[‘type’]);
$page->SetParameter (‘SUBJECT’, $_POST[‘subject’]);
$page->SetParameter (‘MESSAGE’, $_POST[‘message’]);
$page->SetParameter (‘NAME’, $_POST[‘name’]);
$page->SetParameter (‘USERNAME’, $_POST[‘username’]);
$email_body = $page->CreatePageReturn($lang,$config);

email($_POST['email'],$lang['CONTACT_SUBJECT_START'] . $_POST['subject'],$email_body,$config);
email($config['mkrojtorovic@yahoo.com'],$lang['CONTACT_SUBJECT_START'] . $_POST['subject'],$email_body,$config);

message($lang['CONTACTTHANKS'],$config,$lang);

}
?>
</tag>

And this is another contact.php that i have in root folder.

If you click on the advanced button at the bottom of the message window, you sill see more formatting buttons for you message.

Basically, if you start with [ then enter the word code, followed by ] you will have the start tag for code.

This forum software uses square brackets for tags.

So what you did here you didn’t help me at all?
What is your point if you made it visible to people with eyes?

17

Well if you look a bit closer i did point out about 6 locations where you seem to have forgot or erased a < symbol…

18

Well i just checked it and you think in every line where you said i need to write < symbol?
thanks

You might want to run your code through The W3C Markup Validation Service and see what errors are found. Many web site issues can be cured with valid code.
