With Jean Vaucher, created a web site for all artists at Town of Mount-Royal.

It allows artists to present themselves and show a selection of their works.

It will inform them of current and upcoming exhibitions-Activities which could be of interest to them.

The site is Bilingual and very user-friendly!

Since I have moved my site to a new server using PHP 7x and Mysqli all the Database applications were not working.

All the mysql statements needed to be replaced by mysqli and coded differently.

I was using the ereg function which is deprecated. I had to to change all the statement to preg_match

I was using Classes where the name of the function was the same as the name of the class which is a NONO in the current environment, so I had to change all that.

I had a lot of scope problems th the classes, so I had to add global variables and using $GLOBALS['']

The french accent were not displaying correctly so I changed the Character sets of all the pages to utf-8.

Here are the links to the applications.

Problem with the new Block editor of WorPress.

I am using WordPress for my Blog. It gets updated automatically, an 2 days ago I got the 5.0 version.

It come with a new editor. It took me a few minutes to figure out how it works, it is by blocks. But it was always giving me the message «Failing to update ». Very frustrating, I wasted several hours trying to get it to work and doing some research on line without success.

Finally I figured out that I could revert back to the the classic editor, which I did, and in a few minutes I had my post up!!

Tried to activate PHP 7.2 on the server, but kept getting errors.

I thought it might be the template, contacted the vendor TAVTHEMES but did not get much help.

Talked to my ISP to see what they could do, they suggested moving my site to a different server, I agreed, and this is where trouble started!

Site was down with a cryptic error message. It took me 2 days after trying a lot of stuff, going to the Joomla Forum posting my problem and having discussions with several people without success.

Thankfully I had taken a backup with AKKEEBA before the migration. So, I created a new subdomain, a new Data Base and a new user and restore the site there. It worked!
So now I had to figure out what was was wrong with the main site.

My ISP figured out that the MySQL version on the new server did not like my original password, it was too weak, and was probably creating a random one, which I have no idea what it was, and hence could not access the site.

The solution was to modify the configuration.php file to show the new user and password created.

Créé, en collaboration avec jean Vaucher, un répertoire des artistes de TRAM.

Nous avons conçu un site très conviviale qui permet aux membres de s'inscrire en y insérant leur photo, un texte biographique, un lien s'il le désirent et 4 de leurs œuvres, SANS L'AIDE D'UN INFORMATICIEN!!

Une validation est effectué par un membre pour des raisons évidentes de sécurité.
