Hi guys, I have created a website, http://www.rememberingrusty.com for my next door neighbor just to show how much I owe him when he's still living. I created this in Microsoft Publisher and the problem that I have is that I can't paste the memories to share in the memories page

. I've been doing this for a couple of days and it seems that I can't make it work

. If anyone of you knows how to fix it, please let me know how. Hope to hear from you soon. You can also send your reply at mlgeline@gmail.com. Thanks.

Ughh ! That would be a huge task. There is so much proprietary MS garbage in the code it would be easier to start from scratch.

mlgeline · 29-03-2006, 20:39

are there any options aside from starting from scratch, coz the website is already done and i only want to know how would i be able to paste the memories to share in the memories page. and this is not a commercial website so it doesn't need that much of the technicalities.

You could try something along these lines: http://www.textism.com/wordcleaner/

Code still won't be what you desire I imagine, but might make it more usable.

thanks for the reply, i'll try to use what you suggested. but i think my only concern is to have memories to share be pasted in the memories page. i hope you still enlighten me on this. thanks

I realy don't understand your problem but as it in a good cause I will offer this snippet on the off chance it works for you. Sometimes where there is an inability to paste Ctrl + V will still work. Place the cursor where you want the text to paste to and press Ctrl + V. Probably not the answer but I hope it helps.

Paste or post?

Do you mean you want a script that takes what is submitted in the form and automatically posts it on another page (the memories page)?

This is just a simple everyday little website for the users own purpose, he/shes not a web designer nor are they intending to make money from the site so stop howling him/her with code advice etc. he/she just wants to paste the rest of the content in and they are having problems doing so.

Can't see why copying and pasting the text won't work mlgeline, if you have problems with the page, just copy and paste the content into one of the other pages - deleting the previous content, then change the titles around and save as the memories page. (DONT OVERWIRTE YOUR NORMAL PAGE, otherwise you will have to start that one again too ;p)

thanks for all of your replies, the only problem that i have is about the "memories to share page". and if you look into the website and try to add you memories on that page, my plan is to have all the input in "memories to share" page must be pasted in the memories page for all to read. and that's giving me this head ache. again, i appreciate all of your replies, hope that i can do my share someday.

pgo · 30-03-2006, 13:38

I'm still not sure what you mean. Are you trying to paste memories into that page or are you wanting other people to visit the website and post their memories on that page from their home computers - much the way you post messages on this website?

As an aside, it's a very nice thing you're doing. I hope you can get this problem solved.

mlgeline · 30-03-2006, 14:19

hi pgo,

actually, i want people to post their memories about rusty in the memories to share and all of the memories that people pasted will be seen in the memories page, which i'm having a hard time fixing. hope this site be fixed as soon as possible.

you got it right stickman, i need a work around about everything submitted in the memories to share be automatically posts in another page which is the memories page. actually i only need a work around, not script coz i can't read script.

ghetto elvis · 30-03-2006, 15:33

That submit a picture could be bad. You may not like what you get posted. i would have them send itin the email then you can post.

This is probably your best bet. Set up a link - "Please submit your memories of Rusty to memories_of_rusty@gmail.com" or your choice of email.

Making it so people can post directly to the website is going to take more than MS Publisher - it'll take a server-side database application. You could probably find, configure and install one or you'll have to program it yourself in PHP and MySQL or something similar.

I think it's best for your purposes if you have people email their contributions to you and you put it up for them.

If you want to try, you could always look into finding a "guestbook" script or something.

mlgeline · 30-03-2006, 17:37

again i appreciated all of your replies ghetto elvis and pgo, i'm now on the right track in finding a solution. i think i'll just manually post their memories, just to be safe that if somebody tries to mess up. if i only know how to use PHP and MYSQL, i'll use them. but for the mean time, i'll just manually post their memories. thanks that hope all of you will still be here if ever i post again for a new problem.
