Seeing this message means that your isp has updated its DNS records and you can see t3-design.com on the new server. I used to have 4-5 sites in the past, under certain circumstances the only active site left is T3. So keep paying the extreme costs of a dedicated server was stupid.

Even though this is a serious downgrade the site should still be fast enough, specially for those living in the U.S.

That was just a heads up, in case you were wondering (yeah right).

It’s been a while, ain’t that right ? Since my last post many things have changed, first of all i decided to finally sit down and work on getting my IT degree, parents, friends all nagging me to move on from my beloved college years lmao. I took a couple jobs small scale just to keep my touch with php/mysql. For the most part i was working on my college papers and homeworks, i even wrote my very first serious java desktop application.

Nothing extraordinary, just a small desktop application with embedded database to archive your cd/dvd collection stored in cakeboxes. Hopefully this project will get my degree as my final exam. I still don’t work on custom works as i did this post is just to give you a heads up on what is going on with me, as i took some time today to update the wordpress on T3-Design.

I had promissed to give you some information on my last big project “soccer statistics system” but still my friend/client hasn’t been able to work on it as much as he wanted and hasn’t managed to keep it updated and to enable people to browse it in any other language except greek. Just in case this is the site www.paizempala.gr and here are some highlights: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. There is some much more to the whole project, everything about socccer on the site is part of the project.  Anyway i hope in a few months i can make a proper presentation.
About the comments on the site don’t worry i keep up with them from time to time just in case a serious bug is found but any other features release isn’t on schedule for quite some time, you can keep asking but don’t get your hopes up. lol

I hope you people are doing fine, until the next time cya!

I hope you missed me a little, i have been working on a client’s project for more than two months and i have totally ignored pretty much everything else. I haven’t been answering to any emails or other job requests for so long. Many of them are too old and i am a little embarrassed to reply now, so if you still love me and you still want to request my coding services feel free to text me.

There were a couple of cases that i have ignored with rudeness, the people i mention will understand who they are, i feel really sorry but that time i was really pushed by ETA’s and work load i had to leave everything aside for a while if i wanted that job to end well.

After i take permission from my client i will write a small presentation of my work there so you can see i wasn’t just lazy screwing around. It was the biggest project i have ever taken and with a little luck and effort i will be finally a well established php/mysql programmer in my country. You might even find a link to that site somewhere on T3, guss it won’t be hard to find it, trust me.

I look forward to hear from anyone who emailed me these past two months.

The main reason i selected wordpress to power the new T3 was the pretty big plugin directory of wordpress. The plugin directory as i write this post serves more than 2018 plugins with 4.000.000 downloads. That’s pretty impressive but expected from the #1 blogtool in the world. Developers and authors deserve many credits but i can’t deny most of them are crap in my opinion always. After hours of searching, browsing, inspecting the plugins over the wp directory for weeks, i am left with a negative impression.

My bad impression comes from the fact that most of the plugin authors never heard the word “performance”. Let’s get serious wordpress plugin system is cool but for Pit’s shake the memory usage, is super hight. 9-11MB average with only 10 plugins ? Yeap that’s right these are the numbers in my case. People will say it’s not much but when you see some of the most successful php products out there like vbulletin or IPB to use only the half of that of wordpress makes you wonder. Maybe it’s me, i have adopted a way of thinking that says performance must be balanced with features. Read the full post

There are many ways to do that. You can wake up one day and say screw my old site move on and leave everything behind including your precious content. That’s probably the easiest way to do it. In my case study i decided to leave behind the forums, the ratings, the downloads, and some other areas which were pretty much useless to me. But i wanted to bring into the new site all the user base, the pages with the categories and all the comments.

The biggest problem in opinion are the pages, you can easily import the text from seditio. The hard part is to import personal file space. I decided not to involve with that, after all my site had only 70 pages, no big deal but some other people might not be able to do that. For me with my 70 pages i needed 3-4 hours to re-upload images, downloads etc.

The script will import for you:

1. The users, usernames, passwords, website, email, registration date
2. The pages, if you ignore the pfs bbcode everything else works including my geshi highlight hack
3. The only extra from the pages that has been imported are the views, you can later install the plug wp-views. The alias, downloads, ratings, keys, extra fields are gone.
4. The comments, not much to say here except that all bbcodes are stripped
5. The categories, everything except the hierarchy will be imported with no problem.

Requirements – How To Use

1. Minimum php4, mysql 4
2. All versions of seditio should work, but only v121 was tested.
3. It has been tested only for Wordpress 2.5
4. You must use the same database as seditio when you install the wordpress.
5. Upload the file seditio.php to the wp-admin/import
6. Through the Dashboard navigate to Manges -> Import and select from seditio
7. During the first step you must specify the table prefix for your seditio installation e.g. sed_
8. Moreover you must specify the user id of the first admin of your seditio site e.g. 1 Unless you want your new wp Admin Account to loose the registration date and the ownership of your seditio pages.
9. Follow the next buttons and in 4-5 clicks and you are done.
10. I have no idea how well this importer can do in large sites but in my case the whole procedure with 350 users 70 pages 20 categories and 65 comments finished in 10 secs.

If you are ok with all that you can give it a go, but I CAN’T BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR SITE IS DESTROYED. If you want to try it do it on your localhost, after all i spend only a few hours just to import the absolutely necessary to my needs. Download Seditio To Wordpress Importer v0.1

My next problem was how could i save some of my old sections like Sed/LDU Tags HQ and the SED/LDU Files DB. Obviously you must study i can’t say it’s hard to write to plugin for wordpress but for me that i have got used to sedito system the beginning was hard. The wordpress documentation is cool but not super cool for devs. I guess if you want to call yourself a dev you must study yourself. I did my homework LDU Tags HQ , LDU Repository, Seditio Tags HQ, Seditio Repository.

In one month T3 Design will be two years old …hooray…. I started this site by respect to the neocrome cms that i was been using for years. That time i wanted to offer things to neocrome community and the newly born seditio cms. Whatever i could skins, plugins, core hacks, general support and much more. As i was getting better with programming and designing my works got better and of course more popular, i think the almost 60K pages linking to t3 and me being part of teh Dev Team proves that. I admit that the Dev Team of seditio is not much, actually it’s nothing it just a title and nothing more.

After a year or so i started to produce some paid works with a fixed small price, some skins and plugs, i don’t think that move was much successful but from time to time i managed to paid my dedi server and put some gash on my saxo 1400cc. I don’t know but at some point things got worse, maybe i am a selfish bastard but i thought my work will receive more respect. Take a look out there some of my paid products are being redistributed, admins remove the small copyright tag from my free skins, other sed developers rip my works and sell them, ouch enough bitching…. Let’s get to the point.

After 2 full years of coding plugins and learning php/mysql i got to the point where i wanted to do more. I was being using sed for 3dacc.net as a main site and vBulletin as a forum. Oh many asked me how i did that but guh it was nothing really, having two engines working side by side is a shit work and specially hard if you want to get your users to be more interactive. 6 Months ago i decided to code my own cms for vBulletin based on seditio. What you see now here http://www.3dacc.net is the result. The idea was to simply transfer sed procedures to vb but after 12 major releases, the end product at least from the coding point of view is so much different, better if you ask me. I added features, remove things, took to another level many things and i am really proud for that. Except the basic structure list.php?c=xxx and page.php?id=xxx i doubt anyone can identify the mentor of vBSed, the sed from the look or even code. Read the full post
