I have created a booking system where users select the date (or dates they want to book on an availability chart, click Book, then go to the next page "Booking Page" to fill in their details. When they tick the date on the availability page the date or dates are put into a session that is picked up on the next page(Booking page).
People can add this system into a page on their own websites using an iframe. This worked really well, but recently people using safari (mac,ipad) select the date, click Book, but when they they are taken to the booking page are told that no day has been selected. I can't understand why when I test it on my pc using safari and my ipad it works fine. But this has now been reported by several people that they can't book a date.
I have read that this is something that safari has done for security reasons.
I have tried adding this:
header('P3P: CP="CAO PSA OUR NOI ADM DEV COM NAV OUR STP"');
Can anyone please advise on how I can overcome this problem, preferably without having to ask all the people using it to add code to the page.
Many thanks

im a newbie to php/javascript/jquery,etc. How do I implement cookies into a multilingual/multiregional (wordpress.org) website layed out with architecture like explained below?
http://domain.com/ takes users to a page that asks for which country they are in, they have the option of four different countries, Canada, UK, Australia and US. Then if for example, they select Canada, they are taken to http://ca.domain.com/ and it asks for language, English, French, Spanish and below that is a dropdown for other languages. If they click english, they will be taken to the final result of a wordpress blog at http://ca.domain.com/en/
How may I set cookies so that next time they visit http://domain.com/ or even jump to http://ca.domain.com/ that it would immediately send them the the wordpress blog that they saw last time, also would these cookies (not the same one set on their desktop) be able to work if a user is a mobile client? Can I also make a link back to the language and region selection process?
Thanks in advance!
By the Way, I am using WP Multisite for the countries and maybe set up some sort of php translation at the end of the subdomain multisite urls
Extension to question: Remember language selection - then redirect to home page in subsequent visits
I am working on an application which involves lot of ajax requests for updating the HTML content.I have a dashboard with a fix left menu or accordian panel which takes the event and based on the events I have to update the center portion of the page using ajax.
Issue: I am facing issue with the back button of the browser as I am not refreshing the page.I want that the user should be able to navigate back and forth through the ajax content,but as I don't change the URL it redirects the user to the previous page they came from and destroys all the information entered by the user in the fields.
While making a search I came through this website which is quite popular and manages a playlist on the left and a player at the bottom without refreshing the page,but the URL changes for different content the show.
I am not sure if there is any specific framework that can be used or it can be achieved via normal code.Any help in pointing me to the right links or suggestions over it would be helpful.
Thank you
What you seem to want is history.js. It uses the HTML5 history API to navigate (and you can fire events upon change), and it also supports older browsers by using hashbangs.
Essentially the browser will not load any new page, but you can still change the URL to reflect changes (and have the users bookmark pages etc.).
Take a look at their demos to see if it's what you're looking for.
I'm trying to figure out why Facebook is creating fragmentation with its pages. I really don't understand it. Also is there anything that can be done about this.
Here is a perfect example I have my Facebook company page for "Scoreoid" (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Scoreoid/245182948843019) this has my content wall post's, photos ect..
Then I have this page which I guess is only connected to the Scoreoid website which is new and was automatically done http://www.facebook.com/pages/Scoreoid-the-ultimate-game-platform-for-developers/269861406410210
This is the page for the Scoreoid site which has 130 likes but of course on Facebook it only shows 15 another question either way why is there two pages why can't everything be connected to one page.
All this does is create fragmentation which is noting but bad user experiences.
It would max sense to have everything directed to the Facebook main page. Of course I have other questions for which do I run advertising on which should I update with content?
I've already answered you here two weeks ago:
Facebook Likes not showing on Facebook page but show up on site
Facebook pages like counts are NOT THE SAME as like counts for a web site. They cannot be joined by Facebook as they are two separate IDs. You can have your parsing scripts add together the two like counts yourself.
This has been my experience. If you add the open graph meta tags (og:url, og:image, og:type, etc.) Facebook will create a "facebook page", but this page will only be accessable by you. This is the message that facebook will show on this open graph page: http://snag.gy/z9UfG.jpg
If besides this you create another page then it will not be linked with this page. I recommend you use the page you created as that page is accessible by everyone.
If this is not your case then please clarify.
I'm trying to create a web based welcome display for a building entrance. The project would include:
1) A wmv movie play constantly on the digital display until some visitors touch the screen (this can be played either locally or on the internet, but it has to be able to go to number 2 when visitors touch the screen)
2) A couple of buttons with department names show up for visitors to choose who they are here to see
3) After the visitor touch on one button, an email is sent to the department
4) Thank you page, the site should go back to the number 1) again
My experience is html, css, php, javascript, and some Flash, but I'm open to learn new skills. Can someone please suggest some good ways to build this site? Is there any tutorials or good sites I can learn from, that would be a bonus.
Thanks very much.
Sam :)
Edit:
Thanks very much Vigrond and Lloyd! You guys' answers are equally helpful, so I'll use html5 and javascript.
I have a couple of further questions, I hope you guys or someone can help me. (Any part of questions' help is appreciated)
Since this is going to be a kiosk, the same movie is going to be played constantly, everytime after the customer has contacted us, the 'thank you' page is going to show briefly and go back to the first movie page. My question is how can I not let the movie load again and again everytime when there is a customer? Because the local data space for the display is going to be limited.
I've been thinking if I just create one page for the whole process and use a javascript slide to make each page as a div, so the movie div is going to be hiden so it doesn't need to be reloaded again, would that fix number 1) data space concern?
I'm thinking of using a horizontal slide like http://www.queness.com/post/356/create-a-vertical-horizontal-and-diagonal-sliding-content-website-with-jquery How can I make the last div (thank you) to show about 5 secs and go to the first div (movie) again?
Thanks very much! :)
This can be purely done using html5/javascript (+php for the email sending). Google Chrome also has a -kiosk mode, that will enable fullscreen.
I would probably use HTML5 video, along with something like the jQuery cycle plugin. On the video onclick handler, I would just cycle() to the next 'slide'. You can put in effects such as fadein, fadeout, slide, etc.
If you wanna get fancy, a mobile framework such as jQuery mobile or Sencha mobile may be right up your ally as well, (with aesthetic familiar interfaces and cool transitions)
beside some backend PHP to send email, this trivial app could be built using plain old HTML5, CSS and Javascript.. I wouldn't bloat it with jQuery or jQuery plug-ins unless necessary..
I don't recommend using WMV content, though - this proprietary format is not supported by any of the main browsers.. To ensure maximum browser support, encode you media using an open format like WebM:

I would be grateful for some assistance with Facebook Social Plugins.
I have a bunch of portfolio items on my website that are rendered with a fb-comments-plugin at the bottom of the page.
At the top of the page (in the header) is a "like" button that is designed to cover the whole site (i.e. if you "like" the site - click the "like" at the top of the page). But, if you want to "like" the post - click the "like" alongside the post.
Anyway, every now and again - the comments plugin on one of the portfolio items indicates to me:
"Warning: {url} is not accessible"
This does not appear to be consistent across all items. For instance:
http://www.greensidefilms.com.au/portfolio/bride/
does not work, but:
http://www.greensidefilms.com.au/portfolio/twilight/
does work...
Confused I am, seeing as it is exactly the same code generating all these pages.
Is there something not quite right with the og meta tags that is causing the plugin to be confused?
Those links you provided are dead
I had some trouble when I first started working with the Facebook social plugins and found that the problem you are describing is with the APP ID, it is designed to work with a domain in your case yes it is the same domain however you should double check if the same APP ID is being used in all your plugins, using the wrong APP ID will cause that kind of behavior.
