So, I got the new camera up and running. I thought having a “users online” thing on each of the camera pages would be fun, you know? I wanted them all to work together, so all five cameras would be counted in the total.
Now, I’ve got a free script that works nicely, until I try to use it with a subdomain. For those of you unschooled in website stuff, http://catcam.lisaviolet.com is a subdomain. You can also get there by going to http://www.lisaviolet.com/catcam/ but the first one is easier to type.
Well, the I can’t get the free script to work with subdomains, even using server side includes (don’t ask, I don’t understand it either, but then I think electricity is magic) of javascripts.
So, I spent hours looking for a script to do what I wanted. I found one at usersonline.net. I went for the “elite” program. Paid for it with PayPal. The problem is, the site owner isn’t responding to my emails. I’ve gotten one asking for some site info, that’s it. I’m getting more and more irritated.
I’ve sent a couple of emails asking about the status, but nothing in return. I’ll give them another week, then file a claim with PayPal to get my money back. In the meantime, I’ll look for something like it and if I can get it, I’ll get it and file immediately with PayPal.
