I'm currently testing using the MySQL Workbench. I have installed MySQL on a server using the MySQL Community Installer. MySQL :: Download MySQL Community Server I've set up a few test users with schema privileges of username% and no administrative priviledges. This allows them to create databases that begin with their username. So far so good.

Also late to the thread. My son found Adobe's Brackets editor to be a big help with HTML and CSS, which is the place to start. Javascript can come later if required. You might like to look at https://www.codecademy.com/ too, it has structured free courses for HTML, https://www.codecademy.com/learn/web

I agree totally bossman. They are using a plugin for Chrome and IE now. We are trying the tests on 3, only 3, computers and the student's sessions are timing out while data is downloading. Their servers appear to be totally overloaded. I phoned the helpline, but they are not answering because of a 'high volume of calls' and all Advisors are busy on the 'Live' chat. A total deadend. Update: We finally have 3 students doing the tests. Perhaps other schools have given up and freed up some bandwidth for us. Glad we didn't try a full class.

Here's the contents of our .reg file to turn on Sections in Word status bar. We did find that applying it via GPO was intermittent. Some we had to apply by hand. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\14.0\User Settings\EPA_Settings] "Count"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\14.0\User Settings\EPA_Settings\Create] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\14.0\User Settings\EPA_Settings\Create\Software] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\14.0\User Settings\EPA_Settings\Create\Software\Microsoft] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\14.0\User Settings\EPA_Settings\Create\Software\Microsoft\Office] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\14.0\User Settings\EPA_Settings\Create\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\14.0\User Settings\EPA_Settings\Create\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\14.0\User Settings\EPA_Settings\Create\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\StatusBar] "Section"=dword:00000001 By the way, the 'EPA_Settings' part can be anything.

It seems that the Section change to the Status Bar is a per user setting. Thankfully after a lot of searching I found a way to add Registry entries for every user to turn Sections on. This site explains how to do it. Deploying Custom Registry Settings for Office 2010 - The Deployment Guys - Site Home - TechNet Blogs And finally... my allow PopUps in Chrome via GPO were not working either. Turns out the correct syntax for wildcards is [*.]enlight.net. Just Java to sort now!

Office changes for ECDL, I've just been on the phone to EnlightKS. I asked for GPO settings for the three changes, but they do not have that information. Sadly it seems 'all installations are different and they cannot document every combination'. After seaching through the GPOs, having added the Office and Word ADMX files, I've found two... so far. Untested at the time of writing, I'm still looking for the Status bar one. User Config / Policies / Admin Templates / Microsoft Word 2010 / Word Options / Customise Ribbon / Display Developer tab in the Ribbon User Config / Policies / Admin Templates / Microsoft Word 2010 / Word Options / Security / Trust Center / VBA Macro Notification Settings / Enable All (Not recommended)

Would you mind sharing your script for Java deployment? If I can get Java security sorted I think I'll be there. Well the tests will all work, then it's looking at the Microsoft Office UI requirements! I'm still amazed that the Java MSIs are only available to paying 'Enterprise' customers, especially when they can be grabbed during a regular the install anyway.

The .NET test was still reporting In Progress when I returneed this morning. They have sent a 21 page PDF of requirements! First job, search the Chrome settings GPO to allow popups!! How very 1990s.

Oh no, I've just been asked to set up Enlight for our school in June. My first question was why on earth are they using Java and it appears they don't support java 8 yet! Running a test as student user, the applets are blocked as you'd expect. The saga begins!

Wow UltraEdit, that's a blast from the past, I bought that too. I can't remember what it looks like now.

It's worth looking at Flexbox nowadays. Providing your users are on up to date browsers... I mean not using IE. Can I use... Support tables for HTML5, CSS3, etc Here's a great guide to Flexbox. Once you get your head around the container settings and the child settings it becomes very powerful. It's vital for responsive sites. https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/

I've used Eclipse for years and still do.

I've been using BitTorrent Sync since it first appeared, it was very handy keeping our son's files backed up while they were away at Uni. I'm concerned that the new version might be removing some feature we currently have. I guess we'll have to wait until the 30 day countdown expires to see what happens.

We have it working, but I don't know which account was used to sign up. All I have the ID to put in our gateway device to activate the Edu filter. Without the admin account our Media teacher can't whitelist some advert videos she wants the students to critique. If you guys are struggling to get signed up, I doubt I have a chance to find out how to gain full access to our account.

Is the GameKiller software still available for download? I've tried the links but they appear broken now.

The first two lines of that second block of code look wrong to me. $ds=dc2 Should that be $ds="dc2"; ? I expect that line to be giving you a syntax error. And the second line is missing it's semi-colon, which will also generate a syntax error. Add error_reporting['E_ALL']; to the top of the code and run the it again. Take the reporting line out when you're happy it's working.

Can you show the actual error you're receiving? Syntax errors, usually give a good clue as to where the problem is.

Excellent news. We should have guessed IE would be the cause. By the way, Firebug is a Firefox addon, I didn't make myself clear in the previous post. It's a vital addon for web developers everywhere. Firebug - Web Development Evolved Here's a link to the Net tab... Firebug and Network Monitoring I'd love to test your app, only trouble is I'd need to be paid serious money to watch X-Factor.

Is the Net tab in Firebug any good to you to spot the delay? It gives timings of all the requests for the page. It may show if facebook is the cause.

I suppose the obvious solution would be to try to optimise the script to reduce the 30 second delay. What's the cause of the delay?

If you download Safari for Windows and you can see the faulty layout for yourself. It's wrong here on Safari for Windows. What I noticed is Safari seems to have stopped with 16 of 22 items downloaded. Can you try it without the and the Javascript slideshow, because that's missing in Safari. I suspect that's causing the problem.

webman beat me to the 'it doesn't validate' comment. Sort that out and I expect some of the FireFox problems may sort themselves out. Also add titles to the links, they'll show up as tooltips on hover and make up for the fact that the icons are very small. It looks pretty good in IE6 BTW.

Regarding the coloured scrollbars in IE, I'd agree. Dump the following code to get rid of them... <br /> BODY<br /> {scrollbar-3dlight-color:#308014;<br /> scrollbar-arrow-color:#00FF66;<br /> scrollbar-base-color:#orange;<br /> scrollbar-darkshadow-color:003300;<br /> scrollbar-face-color:#9BCD9B;<br /> scrollbar-highlight-color:#EEEEFF;<br /> scrollbar-shadow-color:#3B5E2B}<br /> My first port of call on any website with any problems is validation. Using HTML Tidy with Firefox reveals 13 warnings... Result: 0 errors / 13 warnings line 1 column 1 - Warning: missing declaration line 32 column 1 - Warning: discarding unexpected line 73 column 1 - Warning: discarding unexpected line 73 column 7 - Warning: discarding unexpected line 68 column 1 - Warning: missing line 85 column 1 - Warning: missing line 133 column 1 - Warning: missing line 218 column 30 - Warning: entity "&nbsp" doesn't end in ';' line 5 column 3 - Warning: inserting "type" attribute line 64 column 1 - Warning: proprietary attribute "background" line 179 column 1 - Warning: proprietary attribute "bordercolor" line 219 column 1 - Warning: proprietary attribute "background" line 113 column 64 - Warning: trimming empty Info: Document content looks like HTML Proprietary Fix these and then check again, it's possible that some of these warnings could be causing inconsistencies. Also try moving all the Style into a stylesheet (.CSS). Then you'll have 100% consistent styling across all pages.

From what I've heard Smoothwall does sound like a good alternative, finances permitting. Smartcache does frustrate me sometimes. RM say they do (or did) regular updates to the filter lists, but I'm not sure how they do it. I've not been able to find any traffic or logs to show any updates. Surely some some logs to show success or failure would be good? We also have single words like 'mobile' permanently filtered. I can't find any record of it in our filter policies.

Our dear ole Smartcache seems to be having some problems over the weekend. Each Monday morning it needs a reboot before it'll allow anyone to connect to the Net. Anyone else experienced this tiredness with Smartcache? Our RM support for it has expired now, so perhaps it needs to be kicked into touch.
