Re: KickAssVps.com Experiences

2011-03-04 Thread Will Tomlinson

 Beyond this they seem to be a good company although I'm a little 
squeemish about there not being telephone tech support available. That's the 
impression I get from viewing their Web Site. Any feedback will be very much 
appreciated.

Peter Donahue

My experience with them sucked. My hosting setup was a bit rocky. The support 
was ok, but aremysitesup.com reported site down messages to me almost every 
day, multiple times a day. I don't know how Rick is doing well with them, he 
must've gotten the magical kickassvps account.

I use viviotech now. No, it isn't a discount host, but they're rock solid from 
top to bottom. It's been a pleasure dealing with them for over a year now. 

Oh, and my aremysitesup has been extremely quiet the entire time.

Re: refreshing application variables

2011-02-09 Thread Will Tomlinson

 How does one refresh application.cfc application variables without 
 restarting coldfusion services? Thanks in advance. 

And I would recommend using a hard to guess url variable to fire off the app 
restart:

?hardToGuessVar=1

Otherwise, hoodlums like Ray Camden will run around restarting your app 100 
times a day.   :)

Re: Application.cfc cfinclude

2011-01-28 Thread Will Tomlinson

 Hi Folks - 
 
 I am feeling dumb and either I am missing something simple or it's way 
 above me.
 
 In my application.cfc, I was going to have a cfinclude that would pull 
 in my DB Name, user name, and password.
 

I would store those variables in application scope in onApplicationStart(). 
Then reference them from there. 

But I pass them into data access cfc objects in my init()'s in 
onApplicationStart(), and save to variables in the data access cfc. Then in 
your queries, it'll look like cfquery datasource=#variables.dsn#

That's just how I do it. I don't know about others.

Re: why is cf_builder so slow? (was: expensive)

2011-01-27 Thread Will Tomlinson

Gerald,

Your comments about CFB being slow bother me, and warrant some exploration.
Can you provide more detail? Do you have projects set up into a shared dev
environment over the network? I can't imagine that would be fast for any
IDE.


I'm not a CFBuilder fan, I've always liked DW. But let's drag DW into it. I've 
had DW hang on me. Hog resources, run slow, JS errors, etc. 

I use Coda on my Mac now and really like it. But it's done some kooky things at 
times. FTP (transmit) has been strange, and some other issues. But I like it in 
general. 

Maybe nothing will be perfect.

Re: multiple Application.cfcs

2011-01-20 Thread Will Tomlinson

so I've got a site with a few Application.cfc (basically I want to
lock down some folders).
If everyone has to log in to hit the admin/Application.cfc does that
cfc need the onApplicationStart method or even onSessionStat methods?
And it shouldn't need the application variables either correct?
Am I on the right track of thought?

Greg,

I think you're correct in your thinking. onAppStart and onSessionStart don't 
need to be in admin/application.cfc

But you might want to extend your root application.cfc if you want to use its 
variables, etc. I use Sean's technique...works nicely.

It looks like you're binding to an id of #submit, but the submit button doesn't 
have an id=submit, so the ajax call doesn't work. 

Then you need to make sure to return false; inside that same jquery handler, so 
that it doesn't try posting the form without the ajax call.

SOT: FireFTP - Upload appends files instead of overwrites?

2010-12-17 Thread Will Tomlinson

I ran into a bizarre issue last night where FireFTP wouldn't overwrite my 
Application.cfc. The site started erroring with invalid tokens. 

When I viewed the code on the live server, I noticed the Application.cfc had 
been appended to with as many cfcomponent tags as I had uploaded the files. I 
had like six cfcomponent tags in my Application.cfc. hehehe I was tipped 
off when I saw that the file sizes kept growing as I made my uploads. 

I checked my FireFTP settings and didn't see anything that jumped out. Has 
anyone seen this behavior before?

Thanks,
Will

Hi, Jim...

Check into www.KickAssVPS.com.

I've been with them for two years and haven't had a single
moment of downtime.  Seriously...


I was with them for a few months and I had to move to a better host. I have an 
account at aremysitesup.com, which sends me txts when one of my sites is down. 

It sent me so many txts from my kickass sites being down, that it overshot my 
txt plan. lol! I literally got 6+ emails a day, all throughout the day. 

I moved to viviotech.net and now I get maybe one site down txt every few weeks. 
Amazing difference there...

Anyway, I figured I'd shoot Rick down, and give a thumbs up to Viviotech.net!

SQL - Selecting a row based off linking table row matches

MySql 5, I have this product schema. There are other tables involved but this 
is the pertinent part. 

tblskus

skuid  pk
sku_prodid
more fields...

tblskuoptions

skuoptionid  pk
skuoptionname
more fields...

tblskuoptions_rel (linking many table)

skuid  fk
skuoptionid  fk


The user is presented with two dropdowns for example. 

Select color:
Select size:

I create a list based off their choices. I have a productid they submitted. 

How can I select a single sku based off the option combination they chose. I 
tried a few different things with no luck. where tblskuoptions_rel in 
(24,37,59) didnt work. It pulls too many skus. I just need the one that matches 
the combination of options they chose. It could be just size. Or just color. Or 
both. 

Here's what I have right now. This selects way too much. 

select tblskuoptions_rel.optionID, tblskus.merchskuid
from tblskuoptions_rel, tblskus
where tblskuoptions_rel.optionskuid = tblskus.skuid
and option_optionid in (cfqueryparam cfsqltype=cf_sql_smallint 
value=#optionSelList# list=yes)
and tblskus.sku_prodid = cfqueryparam cfsqltype=cf_sql_smallint 
value=#form.productid#

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Is CFGRID in CF9 solid enough for heavy use for CRUD functionality?

2010-05-07 Thread Will Tomlinson

 Playing with some CFGRID examples on ColdFusion 9, I noticed some 
 major slowdown without a lot of records being loaded.  Being on a 
 locally hosted server off my workstation that concerned me even more.


I like jqGrid. cfgrid bit me in the butt when I moved to Railo. jqGrid fixes 
that problem.

I downloaded it, installed it, used it for about 20 minutes, and realized it

Re: jquery find/replace on an entire body DOM

2010-02-19 Thread Will Tomlinson

Anything you could do to make jQuery have to do less work will be
beneficial.


Andy,

This works great for form actions. I've played around with doing the exact same 
thing for any inputs with onclick attributes. But JQ doesn't seem to select up 
the value of the onclick. Do you have any ideas? 

Here's the form one that works. 

$(document).ready(function() {
  var regexp = /action=([a-zA-Z]+\.[a-zA-Z]+)/;  
  var value = $(form).attr('action');  
  var replaced = value.replace(regexp,'action=$1cte=thompson');
  $(form).attr('action',replaced);  
});

Thanks!

Will

Re: jquery find/replace on an entire body DOM

2010-02-19 Thread Will Tomlinson

It sounds like you're talking about jQuery manipulating jQuery code?


Not in these cases. This is some legacy JS in our onclicks.They must remain, 
but they contain mappings that I need to do the exact same thing we did realier 
in the form action. The code to be manipulated looks somethin like this:

input...onclick=switchActionSubmit('someController.someMapping')

I need to grab that someController.someMapping part, just like the form action. 

I've tried different things, but JQ isn't grabbing it up so I can maniuplate 
it. 

Thanks for your help!

jquery find/replace on an entire body DOM

I didn't get any response on the jquery list, so I'm reposting this here. 

Hey, 

I need to traverse an entire DOM, find a match for a pattern like this: 
someController.somemapping

And I need to replace that text with this: 
someController.somemappingsomeURLVar=someValue

This pattern could be located ANYwhere inside the body of the document - a form 
action, an onclick, etc. 

Here's what I've built so far, but it doesn't work. Any ideas would be 
appreciated:

$(document).ready(function() { 
  var regexp = /([a-zA-Z]+\.[a-zA-Z]+)/;
  $(this).html().replace(regexp,$1 + someURLVar=someValue);
});

Re: Microsoft JDBC Driver: Multiple SQL statements

 I recently switched to using the latest Microsoft JDBC Driver for

 are failing so I've had to switch back. e.g.

I know with MySQL, you can specify multiple queries right in your DSN setting.

I don't know if there's an equivalent for the SQL Server driver.

Same here and in most cases found it to be faster than doing Ajax calls but
guess it would greatly depend on the amount of select options and speed of
the connections being used.  I have done our organizational hierarchy using
qForms and we have a ton of nodes and saw no performance issues.

Trouble with query...

2009-10-23 Thread Will Tomlinson

SQL Server

I'm trying to report on the number of orders per day that has coupon code 
associated with them. The problem is, we can have multiple coupons running at 
the same time. My query just counts the number of coupons used per day. It 
doesn't filter by couponcode. 

But the minute I add a WHERE clause, it filters out all the days where coupons 
weren't used - not what I want. I want to even show the days where coupons were 
not used. 

Here's what doesn't work. If I remove the WHERE couponcode clause, it show all 
days of the couponcode. Which is almost correct, but I need to tell it to show 
the totals for a particular couponcode. 

  SELECT DATEADD(d,DATEDIFF(d,0,orderdate),0) AS orderdate, count(couponCode) 
AS numCoupons, couponcode
  FROM tblOrders 
  WHERE
 cfif len(form.startDate) and len(form.endDate)
  orderdate between #createODBCdate(getcouponData.couponstartdate)# and 
#createODBCdate(getcouponData.couponenddate)#
 /cfif
 WHERE couponcode = cfqueryparam value=#getcouponData.couponcode# 
  AND orderpaid = 1
  GROUP BY DATEADD(d,DATEDIFF(d,0,orderdate),0), couponcode
  ORDER BY DATEADD(d,DATEDIFF(d,0,orderdate),0)

SOT: CF based Message Queue - Thread safe stored procedure

2009-06-25 Thread Will Tomlinson

Hi all,

I have an issue with a stored proc that hopefully someone can help with...

A little background...

I built a CF based message queue system. It is pretty simple; I have a table of 
'messages' in the database. I can fire up as many infinite threads as I want 
and they process those messages. My initial problem was that the same messages 
were being executed multiple times when I ran multiple threads at once. A 
simply CFLOCK solved that.

The problem now, is that I need to allow the message queue threads to run from 
multiple servers at once. So now I'm back to messages getting executed multiple 
times when threads are running from different servers.

I moved all of the SQL from the CFLOCK into a stored proc thinking that I could 
easily wrap the SQL in a transaction (SQL Transaction, not CF). I'm having 
quite a bit more trouble than I expected. I'm running into deadlocks.

The whole flow of the Stored Procedure needs to be something like this...

1) Grab the next message record where the status is 'pending'
2) Update that record's status to 'running'
3) Return the record

While that is running, no other process should be able to access the record 
that is being processed but It'd be nice if it didn't cause immediate deadlocks 
but waited (or even moved to the next record if possible)

This is the procedure after my latest attempts. Ive actually changed the 
approach and updated the record first THEn grabbed it to return hoping that 
would help. It still the same issue. Deadlocks

Not sure how this is going to come through in an email but here it is.


--
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = 
OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[getNextMesssageQueueRecord]') AND type in (N'P', N'PC'))
DROP PROCEDURE [dbo].[getNextMesssageQueueRecord]
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO

CREATE PROCEDURE getNextMesssageQueueRecord
AS
SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ COMMITTED
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;

begin transaction

declare @uuid nvarchar(32)
set @uuid = lower(replace(newID(), '-',''))

update queue.messages
set messagestatus='running'
, dateStarted = getDate()
, messageUUID = @uuid
where messageStatus='pending'
and messageID in (
select top 1 messageID from queue.messages with(updlock) where messageStatus = 
'pending' order by messageID
)

commit transaction
select messageID, messageStatus, messageXML from queue.messages where 
messageUUID = @uuid

END
Go
-

Any ideas to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Ahhh thank you! I will give it a shot tonight. And the JS you posted does 
indeed go in product_add.cfm, correct?

Thanks much,

your form processing javascript will then look something like this:


Ahh yes, this works! I just need to stick a .tabs() in there that selects the 
next tab after submission.

Hot damn! I'm gettin' fancy now. Check this out. 

I decided to try and preselect the categories tab after the product is added. 
Like a wizard. I'm also passing my ID to each tab so you can use them for 
inserting into the many tables. I knew I could chain, so I tried it and it 
works! Add a product, then it switches to the next tab after the insert. 

Still unfinished:

script type=text/javascript
 var options = {
 url: 'processProd.cfm',
 dataType: 'json',
 success: function(res) {
 var id = eval(res);
 $(#productAdmin).tabs('url', 0, 'product_add.cfm?id=' + id);
 $(#productAdmin).tabs('url', 1, 'productBuilder-Categories.cfm?id=' + 
id).tabs('option', 'selected', 1);
 $(#productAdmin).tabs('url', 2, 'productBuilder-Skus.cfm?id=' + id);
 $(#productAdmin).tabs('url', 3, 'productBuilder-SuggestedProducts.cfm?id=' + 
id);
 $(#productAdmin).tabs('url', 4, 'productBuilder-prodImage.cfm?id=' + id);
 }
 };
 $('#addprod').submit(function() {
 $(this).ajaxSubmit(options);
  return false;
 }); 
/script

Re: jQuery Guru guidance needed....

2009-06-02 Thread Will Tomlinson

go here: http://jqueryui.com/demos/tabs/

click on Methods tab. read about the 'URL' method.

presumably, your product_add.cfm page adds a product using ajax post? if
so, the callback function should receive the id of newly added product
and then call the url() method on the other tabs (and maybe load()
method as well - can't remember now if just setting a new url reloads
the tab or not...)

Where do you put the callback funtion? In the product_add.cfm page? Or the 
parent tabs.cfm page?

I'm a little mixed up. 

Thanks for the help,
Will

Re: jQuery Guru guidance needed....

2009-06-02 Thread Will Tomlinson

a safe bet would be to define all your js in the main page (tabs.cfm).
but particulars depend on your code...

how are you submitting your add product form? are you using jquery (i.e.
$.ajax or $.post) or are you using cf8 built-in ajax features
(cfajaxproxy or ColdFusion.Ajax.submitForm())?


Here's what I have so far. It still isn't quite working properly. 

tabs.cfm:

script
$(document).ready(function() {
$(#productAdmin).tabs();  
});
/script

product_add.cfm:

script type=text/javascript src=/admin/js/jquery.form.js/script 
cfoutput
script type=text/javascript 
 var id = #variables.lastprodID#
  $(document).ready(function() { 
  //cfoutputalert(#variables.lastprodID# yo yo!);/cfoutput
  $('##addprod').ajaxForm(function() {
  $(##productAdmin).tabs('url', 1, 'productBuilder-Categories.cfm?id=' + id); 
   //$(##productAdmin).tabs('load', 2);
  }); 
 });
/script

cfform name=addprod id=addprod action=processProd.cfm.

inputs here...

processProd.cfm has all the form processing code. How do I get the lastProdId 
back into the tab pages for use there? 

Man, I have no idea what I'm doin. 

Thanks,
Will

jQuery Guru guidance needed....

2009-06-01 Thread Will Tomlinson

I'm using jQuery Tabs to rebuild my ancient product admin. Trying to slicken it 
up a bit. As a product is added, I need the tab .cfm's, and the parent to pass 
around the prod ID variable to each other. 

The tabs I'm using: http://docs.jquery.com/UI/API/1.7/Tabs

I have a parent page that contains the tabs (disabling 2nd-5th tab until a 
product is added:

tabs.cfm

script
$(document).ready(function() {
$(#productAdmin).tabs({ disabled: [1, 2, 3, 4] });
   
});
/script

div id=productAdmin
ul
 lia href=product_add.cfmspanProduct Info/span/a/li
 lia href=productBuilder-Categories.cfmspanCategories/span/a/li
 lia href=productBuilder-Skus.cfmspanSKUS/span/a/li
 lia href=productBuilder-SuggestedProducts.cfmspanSuggested 
Products/span/a/li
 lia href=productBuilder-prodImage.cfmspanImages/span/a/li
/ul 

If someone is using the product info tab, and they add a product, how could I 
let the parent, tabs.cfm know, and enable the other tabs at that point. 

Thanks,
Will

Re: What's the best way to handle returning two queries from a component for looping?

2009-05-27 Thread Will Tomlinson

I started out that way, but couldn't make a join of any type work...

I tried left join, inner join, join, union, etc, but the best I could do
was get one title with one section.  There should be one title with
multiple sections.

Rick,

1. I would remove the * and reference your fieldnames. 

2. Remove that group by n the SQL.

3. Your query output should look something like this:

cfoutput query=getStuff group=theTitleFieldHere

h1#someTitleField#/h1

  cfoutput
  p#theDetailField#/p
  /cfoutput

/cfoutput

See if that works.

MySQL - How to create a category tree in a store

2009-05-22 Thread Will Tomlinson

I built a store application that has a simple product category schema. Right 
now, the user can select one or more categories to associate to a given 
product. I have a linking table in between those two tables that resolves the 
many-to-many. 

Now, I need the ability to let the user create their own categories and nested 
categories/subcategories, then associate a product to one or more of them. Much 
like a category tree. 

i.e. A shoe needs to be associated to the footwear category, and the shoes 
category located within the footwear category.  Make sense?  :) 

I've looked at recursion, but I'm on MySQL 5.1, and I don't think it supports 
recursive queries. 

Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to go about this? Also, what 
would you implement for the admin tool that creates the category tree?

Thanks,
Will

SQL server - Order totals by month, even without month data

2009-03-25 Thread Will Tomlinson

I have your typical tblorders. I'm trying to query it to get order totals by 
month, and I'm outputting them in cfchart 

All goes fine, except in 2009. We have no order data for April-December of 
course, so the query returns just three rows (Jan, Feb, March).

I need it to return all 12 months, with 0 for the months with no orders 
(April-Dec)

I've played with this query and can't get anything to work for me. Any ideas? 

Thanks!

Will

select year(orderdate) as orderYear,
month(orderdate) as monthOrdered,
sum(ordertotal) as totalOrders,
dateName(month, orderdate) as monthName
from tblorders
where orderpaid = 1
and year(orderdate) = 2009
group by year(orderdate),
month(orderdate),
dateName(month, orderdate)
order by  year(orderdate) asc,
month(orderdate) asc

Yet another SEO/URL rewrite question....

2009-03-18 Thread Will Tomlinson

I'm planning on using onMissingMethod() to create some pretty URL's for 
products, using a new db field (productPrettyTitle) in my products table. I'd 
rather not use an ISAPI filter right now. 

Everything seems to work OK so far, but I wondered what would happen if I took 
it a step further. 

Is there a downside to adding more keyword-rich extensions in whatever CF 
config xml file?

So for a baseball product site, I'd have:

www.mycoolsite.com/some-cool-product.baseball

Instead of:

www.mycoolsite.com/some-cool-product.cfm

Will googlebot care? Will I be penalized?

Thanks,

Dunno if this is an option rick, but I usually use bobby h's trick of creating

crappily-named images from users. 

cfset somefilename = replace(createuuid(), -, , all)

Then cffile save the image with your newly-created filename. 

Then again, I wouldn't doubt if YOU were the one naming the images. :)

Re: Arrays

2009-03-01 Thread Will Tomlinson

Interesting Will. So does your outer-most structure have some sort of
incremental key? Personally an array of structs seems easier to me
because the array implies a series of something. As far as updating
and the code to deal with them it is pretty much 6 or 1/2 dozen I
would think.


I have a timeAdded key which I sort on using structSort(). 

cfset keyArray = structSort(cart, numeric, desc, timeAdded)

Then use the resulting array to loop over the cart. 

cfloop from=1 to=#arrayLen(keyArray)# index=thisKey
 pSKU: #keyArray[thisKey]# | Time Added: #cart[keyArray[thisKey]].timeAdded# 
| Price: #cart[keyArray[thisKey]].price#/p 
/cfloop

MySQL - Querying tax total for each month

2009-02-19 Thread Will Tomlinson

MySQL 5

My client wants to run a report on taxes collected for a given month in a given 
year.  I have a typical orders table with an “ordertax” field and 
“orderdate” field. I’m remote right now so I can’t test this, but how 
could I spit out order totals for each month. Here’s what I’m thinking…

select month(orderdate), sum(ordertax) as totalMonthTaxes
from tblorders
where year(orderdate) = 2008
group by month(orderdate)
order by month(orderdate)

Any better ideas?

Re: Need ISAPI rewrite help...

2009-02-08 Thread Will Tomlinson

What version of ISAPI Rewrite are you using?

The tutorial looks as though it's written for v2; whereas in v3 it is  
much more like the syntax of Apache's mod_rewrite. Which means that  
the querystring is not actually seen as part of the URL in  
RewriteRule, but can be accessed via a RewriteCond.


I'm using V3 I believe. I just want to convert:

calendarDetails.html/EID/935 -  calendarDetails.cfm?EID=935

Thanks much!

Will

Re: Need ISAPI rewrite help...

2009-02-08 Thread Will Tomlinson

And this assumes that the files are at your site's root, and that it's  
always an EID value you're matching. (If the key value in the  
querystring varies, you could use a regex for that too).


Thanks Seb!

So I could say:

RewriteRule ^calendarDetails\.html/[A-Za-z]+/([0-9]+)$ /calendarDetails.cfm? 
EID=$1 [NC]

Re: Need ISAPI rewrite help...

2009-02-08 Thread Will Tomlinson

This should do the trick:

RewriteRule ^calendarDetails\.html/EID/([0-9]+)$ /calendarDetails.cfm? 
EID=$1 [NC]


Seb, this works just fine in the ISAPI test utility, but I cannot get the URL 
variable to show up in URL scope of the page, which of course, cause an error. 

http://staging.ac100.org/calendarDetails.html/EID/935

URL.EID should = 935, but it isn't. I restarted IIS, etc. 

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help!

Need ISAPI rewrite help...

2009-02-07 Thread Will Tomlinson

I'm attempting my first SES URL rewriting with the IIS ISAPI filter, and having 
a few problems. 

I wanted to process .html files as .cfm's. That part seems to work, but I have 
another rule that converts /EID/993 to ?EID=993

My URL var doesn't seem to be seen on the action page. 

http://staging.ac100.org/calendarDetails.html?/EID/935

I dump the value of URL.EID, and it's 0, which I had cfparam'd. 

Here are my rewrite rules in httpd.ini. Thanks for any help someone could 
offer. 

RewriteRule (.*)/(.*)\.html(.*) /$2.cfm [I] 

#Convert SES URLs to standard URLs before passing them to ColdFusion
RewriteRule (.*?\.cfm)(\?[^/]*)?/([^/]*)/([^/]*)(.+?)? $1(?2$2:\?)$3=$4?5$5: 
[N,I]
RewriteRule (.*?\.cfc)(\?[^/]*)?/([^/]*)/([^/]*)(.+?)? $1(?2$2:\?)$3=$4?5$5: 
[N,I]

I was using Brandon's tutorial here:

Re: Need ISAPI rewrite help...

2009-02-07 Thread Will Tomlinson

You know you don't have to use a rewrite tool to do that - you can just 
map the .html extension to CF in IIS.


Well I'm eventually wanting to create friendly URL's. 
/someVolleyballShirt.html. 


I think you might need to use the .html extension.

I tried it with and without. No matter what I do, URL.eid is never available to 
me.

Thanks,
Will

Re: How to: Submitting a form to self

2009-01-18 Thread Will Tomlinson
 How do I get the above section to submit the selected voucher to 
 populate the remainder of the form with the relevant details before I 
 submit the form for processing? TIA 

Sounds like you could use an onchange event in that select to submit the form. 
Use that for your cfif to run that query for the card data, and display it 
inmore form items. 

Then use your form.submit variable to actually process the form. 

it'd be niftier if you used some AJAX to do it.

Re: The right syntax for last insert - MySQL

2009-01-14 Thread Will Tomlinson
MySQL doesn't allow multiple statements in a single query unless you
change a server config option.  It's a form of SQL injection
protection.  So just run the two statements in two CFQUERY tags.
You'll need to ensure they're on the same connection with no
interleaved queries though, so make sure you use CFTRANSACTION if, for
some reason, you're not already.


Thanks barney! That got me headed down the right path.

Re: Ok, let me get this straight...

2009-01-10 Thread Will Tomlinson
Should I be able to set up my local dev environment mappings,
where I view all http requests through localhost/...,
and my remote server environment mappings, where the server
is a multi-homed webserver, in such a way that the same
logical path will work in both places?


When I used to use the built-in webserver, I couldn't do this. So I switched to 
apache, and now my paths work fine. 

The built-in server sees wwwroot as the root, which screwed me up.

Re: How to deal with multiple sites within one

2008-12-31 Thread Will Tomlinson
 i also have to warn you having multiple domains with the same content 
 can class as duplicated content in Google. If Google decides the 
 websites are the same it WILL only index one of them or only one 
 domain will come up per search query i.e. sports. this rule will also 
 apply to sub domains Google will only list 2 sub domains in the same 
 results but NEVER on the same page.   hope this helps :) 

That helps alot. Thanks for the tips!
