@Iain And then someone would post a meta topic about terseness and snark and then we'd all get in a meta-huff over it for a week before things returned to normal. =P
@shane sometimes I am, and I've noticed it on other sites, and every time I think about it I fire up the developer tools to find out where the lag is, I hit reload, and it's gone
i am running xampp on windows and i generally try different CMSs. the problem i face is that on most cms when i create a new user it asks for an email to send a confirmation link to
now i can try 2 things
either change the code of cms to not send a confirmation link
or i can create dummy email ids on my localhost to receive emails. i wanna go with the 2nd one
i wanna create dummy email ids on my localhost to receive emails
web service send an email that include a unique url. Person recieves it, and clicks on the link. Their browser is opened, and visits a page in the web application that confirms the message.
If you want a mail server, then you should probably give up on all that silly xamp crap and setup a Linux box, and use exim, postfix, or your favorite mta.
1) You create a user. Your CMS talks to a mail server (at your ISP), gives it a message and says "Deliver this to joe_user@somedomain.com" 2) The users receive that email (via their ISP's mail infrastructure) and click on the link. 3) Your CMS activates the account.
You have NO involvement with step 2. NO email comes to you. Your users need to have email addresses. If they don't you don't want them as users.
@Zoredache i was jsut giving an example that i thought people are more likely to be familiar with. i knw there is one fb already and people dont need another
@lovesh , I think you might actually be asking "Hey, I have my new CMS I want to test, and I want to be able to receive 50 dummy emails without making 50 accounts on a free webhost"
@jcolebrand oh my dear blue friend, if you want to fight the crap migrations battle with us please do. But be forewarned you're gonna get a lot of crap anyway :-)
@Aaron you now i was looking for something very simple like i write a script with 20 emails like abc@localhost,pqr@localhost,etc and run the script and i have 20 emails created
Is there a good thing to do with 'abandoned' questions? Like 9+ months old, comments were left asking for clarification, and the original question was so obtuse that there might be a question in there, but it would take several go rounds with the original poster to get the question?
@lovesh, I repeat, take a look at smpt4dev. It is basically a blackhole. You don't have to create accounts at all, just start it, point your application at it. It will receive every email you send.
@ChrisS i am listening i wa looking for a hand on tutorial of smtp on google
@Zoredache i downloaded the binary and tried to install smtp4dev but its giving an error message that application failed to initialize properly. click ok to terminate
@Zoredache bad luck follows again. this time i installed it and installation completed but when i start that it again shows that dialog box application failed to initialise....
@ChrisS "wanting to attract experts (and develop newbies into experts)" is the former which is called an echo chamber (a bad thing) and "being just for the experts" is the latter which is in context referred to as a the goal for SE. So attracting experts and developing newbies into experts is bad and not our goal? Becoming "just for experts" is the goal of SE?
I really wish there was a way to make SVN use an SSH key over an https transport, or use an SSH URL when I have my ssh agent started, and use a https url when I don't.
@WesleyDavid He should have said SF, not SE, but basically yeah. That sounds right. Attracting people who are basically already experts instead of attracting !experts and trying to teach them. SF's goal is to build a Q&A base for the community; and that directly gets answers for people; but as I understand it, SF's goal is not to attract non-expert level questions.
This is all using absolute terminology for situations which are not absolute... You can't look at a Question and instantly/consistently rank it as Beginner/Intermediate/Expert....
Well the fact is that even expert users commonly have non-expert level questions. So yes; it's an integral part of the community. But I would argue the purpose isn't to attract users who are incapable of expert-level questions and/or answers.
@voretaq7 I was just checking. Not trying to be pedantic. It's just that sometimes I'll see a sentence that involves "either / or" "former / latter" "net / gross" "ingress / egress " or double negatives and I literally cannot understand what it means. Some other signs seem to point to undiagnosed dyslexic tendencies.
@ChrisS IDK I think we need to attract those users - newbies bring new ideas. It's not long ago that many people would have thought puppet/chef were bad ideas because doing that kind of deployment/patching automatically is "too risky"
of course we only want to KEEP the ones that will become experts in one or more areas
the rest we can throw back into the pond :)
@WesleyDavid meh, I just forget what I wrote 5 seconds before. early onset Alzheimer's. Who the fuck are you? for that matter who the fuck am I? I don't WANT to be vice-president! The man with the big ears promised me there would be PIE!
@voretaq7 Where's the line; at what point do they have to become and expert, or demonstrate such potential, before we throw them back in the pond? And by what standard do we define expert? I don't think I qualify as expert by some standards.
(Rhetorical questions; I don't expect you to have a canned answer ready)
The closer we get to a litmus test for new user acceptability the closer we get to going supermassive and being crushed under the weight of our own singularity.
And yes, I do not define myself as an expert. I think if there was a litmus test, I'd probably have to go back to sex-spurt-exchange and play with the kiddies for a few more years. Or decades.
@voretaq7 That's what I was trying to say in the meta Question comments; I don't think it came across right though because I'm thinking we're both saying the same things, from two different angles, and it sounds very different...
@WesleyDavid because great questions are hard to answer and the answers get little or no recognition - we're all rep whores and jump on the easy snappily answerd ones
Yes, the lack of votes seems to annoy me for some reason, but I don't know why. I suspected it was just the rep whore in me, but wonder if it's a sign of something else in the community. A lack of contribution, nothing but consuming.
Literal balloons, not filled with air of course, are used to keep heroin fresh and easily transportable. Normally it's sticky (if we're talking about tarball heroin, anyway) so it's put in little balloons, a blot the size of maybe a big chiclet or breath mint.
So when you're scoring a balloon, you're nabbing a fix of your drug.
And my quote should have read "I do refer to getting rep as scoring balloons."
That's my drug class for the day. Class dismissed. Tomorrow we learn about why broken lightbulbs are a sign that you've got crackheads in the neighborhood.
"Thank you very much. I made the permissions change on the SQL database and it worked. Thank you for taking the time to understand the problem and address the issue and not the symptom. I don’t know the name of the lady whom I was working with before, but she was terrible. I just want to commend you on your professionalism and troubleshooting ability."
I just sent that to someone
What I wanted to add what that "she needs to die screaming in a fire"
I am working with a small business that has a domain set up with Windows Server 2008 R2. The owner of the company would like the ability to see ALL of the files on each of the computers in the domain without having to log into each computer individually. What service/role/feature do I have to ena...
Why wouldn't he just block write access on the local machines, setup roaming profiles, and redirected folders. Then everything will be in one easy to find place.
@RobertMoir it's not like he's asking for "watch every screen all the time"
more like "be able to get to documents people haven't saved in the right places, more easily" because he needed a document which someone had one evening or weekend
@tessellaheckler - no but if he's asking for 'every file on every pc' in one list without having to browse there are at least two things wrong with that question
1. They keep using the phrase 'all files'. They probably really don't mean that. 2. In a domain, if the business wants to keep the business data in a manageable state then that state is on a file server share (or sharepoint, or in SQL or whatever) on a server where doing things like this and managing both data security and backups suddenly became a hell of a lot easier.
Maybe he does what to see all files. Perhaps some of the his employees are hiding the good p0rn, or maybe a large mp3 collect somewhere on their drives, and he wants to copy it.
@RobertMoir yes, I also replied saying roughly those points. I don't think it's a good idea for them to rely on mishmash file locations long term, merely that the owner asking for ability to get anywhere isn't inherently bad.
anymore than the owner having door keys to get anywhere isn't inherently bad even if they have a proper stores procedure
heh. I am not saying I am perfect at all, but he sure has lots of spelling errors that should be picked up by the spell-checker built into his browser.
