.mobi measurements.mobi ~ My newest site

[Jo]

Today I developed:

http://measurements.mobi

I will be adding to it as there's a TON of measurements we use daily. I've put 4 sections on there so far. Comments welcomed.

I like it, nice little reference site. Any ideas of what advertising you will eventually want to put on it?

Great site!

Always good to see developed sites. Would even be better if you could make it dynamic.

Very cool site. I like the logo a lot. It's very useful site too! :tu: :gn:

You can also put some interesting measurments as reference like populations, surface area of earth other planets, formulas... just to name a few. It would be a very handy tool.

Thanks guys! Very nice ideas there Vcool. I'm a basic web designer so the dynamics and scripts are above me. I'd have to have someone do it for me. No idea on advertising, I hadn't thought of that.

Great start, Kerri! :tu:

PS. Both vcool & mykel241 are great resources for .MOBI development, IMHO. :music:
All the best!

Good job Kerri! You've got a nice little network of .mobis there!

I like it! I agree with mykel241 about adding dynamic as well, as in a user enters a value and it is converted for them. Maybe you could trade a site design for a script from a NPer. One script could be modified for the different measurement conversions pretty easily I think. If/when you do add dynamic content please continue to offer the tables, sometimes they are preferred.

Thanks so much for checking it out and your suggestions!

Does anyone know of a dynamic script that would work for mobiles that would do conversions? I'd be interested in hearing about any and how much they would cost. I suppose if a search engine can be used then so would a conversion program.

Kerry,

I will PM you a free script that I have which you can use to start with.

Thanks Vcool. I finally got it to work but it doesn't work in the emulator (the temperature convertor script.)

Can someone check on their cell phone to see if this page works?

If you check on the PC it shows ok:

http://measurements.mobi/convtemp.php


Also I have a tagboard on:

http://sweetypie.mobi

It worked when I tagged on the emulator. Does anyone want to try it out?

Thanks!

Hi Kerry,

It might be because of the html <table> tags used in the script. Please remove any table tags incluging <tr> ,<td> from the script and try again with the emulator. Html tables are not allowed in .mobi and might be the reason why it does not work with the emulator.

Ok I took out all the tags for the tables but now I have no spaces between the results. I tried putting <br /> after each part but it creates an error. I would like each result on a separate line but not sure how to add this. Also the results font is large, how to make it small? I can google and try to find answers there, thanks.

Hee hee thanks

I will take a look at the script and let you know.

I took a look at a tutorial and found out how to put in font tags but I must have put them in the wrong spot!
Here's what I found:

---------
PART OF TUTORIAL:
As you can see this code contains 4 quotation marks so would confuse the script. Because of this you must add a backslash before each quotation mark to make the PHP script ignore it. The code would change to:

<font face=\"Arial\" color=\"#FF0000\">
</font>

You can now include this in your print statement:

print("<font face=\"Arial\" color\"#FF0000\">Hello and welcome to my website.</font>");

which will make the browser display:

Hello and welcome to my website.
-----------

So I put in the php file:

<?php

if ($scale == "celcius")
{print "<font face=\"Arial\" color=\"#FFFFFF\" size=\"1\"> Conversion Results. $degree celsius"</font>;
$c_2_f = (int) ($degree*9/5+32);
print "<font face=\"Arial\" color=\"#FFFFFF\" size=\"1\">$c_2_f fahrenheit"</font>;
$c_2_k = (int) ($degree+273.15);
print "<font face=\"Arial\" color=\"#FFFFFF\" size=\"1\">$c_2_k kelvin"</font>;
$c_2_r = (int) ($c_2_f+459.6);
print "<font face=\"Arial\" color=\"#FFFFFF\" size=\"1\">$c_2_r rankine"</font>;}

That's just one part. Obviously I have the <font> stuff in the wrong spots!

I am giving it up for tonight. Will try again tomorrow.
