FREE URL! Why is this so important?

[dreamer8 510]

I love cerb.ca it has changed the game, it has made it easier to find high quality SP and for them to find us!

 

Now that members can have a cerb.ca url they can help themselves by adding a short tag to their print and online ads which can redirect visitors directy to anything from their profile and contact info to even an ad on escorts-canada.com.

 

so why should you care?

 

By giving this advantage to our well respected sp members they will have an edge over their dishonest competition in the same markets eventually pushing them out. The secondary benefit is cerb membership will grow even faster making this an even better place to be.

I made one just as an example:

http://cerb.ca/sexy what could be easier!

 

I look forward to when the redirect can be updated so I can post a msg everywhere that link back to my latest review here on cerb!

That would be a hard one to code!! but I am sure it could be done eventually... I am a little burnt out as the programming for this one took a toll on my brain! but it works and I hope everyone finds as much value as we do dreamer!

Thank you Mod. I am thrilled with this new service.

 

Maybe I won't retire now as CERB has become an even more incredible place to be. LOL (Just kidding!)

I am sure the members here (and your regulars) will miss you. We have seen a number of ladies over the years come back out of retirement so never say never. ;) and everyone here at the office wishes you the very best.

I Can only imagine how burn out you are trying to come up with the code, I tried ALICE and I thought that was hard:lol:

It was painful. I did more work on it today (fine tuning it).

 

For anyone interested... It was achieved using 4 different programming languages (3 of them I am not overly proficient in - hence the headache!).

 

The file manipulation and checking along with most of the back-end (security/notifications/ip aquire/etc) were all done in perl/cgi (the stuff I know well)

 

The call to instantly check to see if the domain is available without leaving the page is achieved using ajax (asynchronous JavaScript) and perl/cgi working together.

 

The Registration button to submit the code and some other stuff is done using regular JavaScript and the site integration to make it all work on the forum is done using php.

 

I have to admit I had to slip a guy a few bucks to help out with the ajax and java script portions and I altered another guys vbulletin mod to make this work with the site (to avoid writing hours of php code with a reference manual open next to me!).

 

Anyway... I am sure most of you who read the stuff above are scratching you heads. Told you it was just for anyone who was interested. ;) I need about 3 days off now I think and a bottle of Tylenol! ... but it's worth it as 12 people have already registered domain names.

That is cool, didn't know you could use four different languages on the same thing. I Understand bits and pieces of what you are talking about:-P

Mod you're the man!

 

Thanks for doing this up :)

Mod, have a look at ExtJS (http://extjs.com) or jQuery (http://jquery.com), which are both JavaScript frameworks that greatly simplify Ajax calls and general DOM manipulation. I prefer ExtJS because it has waaaay more features, and they now include an "ExtJS Core" that has a smaller set for simpler pages. However, I know some developers prefer jQuery...although they're clearly very wrong... :-)

That is pretty impressive. Good news for me is the easier they make this stuff the cheaper it will cost us when I hire someone else to do it. My poor brain is full.
