Islamic Calendar Script, Hijrah Javascript

Read full... / Comments (0) / Thursday, August 28th, 2008

Salaam Alaykum!

Its Ramadan the month of Holy Fasting next week! I decided to release a JavaScript based Islamic Timer display which displays the Gregorian Calendar and the Islamic Calendar for Hijrah based time. It is funny to mention that the Islamic timetable is already mentioned and in the Quran, God has already told us we would have so many days, hours, minutes, seconds, months and weeks..

<!– Islamic Calendar Hijrah Javascript –>
<!– K4Z.ORG –>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://x.k4z.org/hijra.js”></script>
<!– Islamic Calendar Hijrah Javascript –>
<!– K4Z.ORG –>

That is the invocation code you need to paste ANYWHERE after the BODY tag of your page.

Any bugs, suggestions and aJax tweaks fire them my way. The original author used s class and I have changed it away from OO. It now supports FireFox, Opera, Safari and IE.

Ramadan Mubarak!

This will display the Islamic and Gregorian Calendar on your pages, it uses JavaScript and takes a few seconds to install, no downloads or modifications needed!

Demo is on this site at the top and also DEMO here 

vBulletin Profile Re-Write with htaccess

What does it do?
It produces a short profile url like so: yourdomain.com/username

What was the point releasing this?
Someone emailed me about my existing modification vBulletin Members Page Subdomain Re-Write, and was complaining it does not work with 3.5.x series nor vBulletin 2.x or 3.x, I even found a modification simaler to this on vB.org so it inspired me to change it, I have added the new solution for offtopic, “nonetheless” the Members Page Subdomain Re-Write does a good job if this does not work..

Do you guarantee it will work on my server?
No.

Will you support this if I cannot get it to work for me?
Yes contact me, using this form

Will this work with usernames that have special characters or spaces in them?
I don’t know. I have only tested it on my test forum with a few usernames that don’t have special characters or spaces in them. If it works for you, please let others know.

How can I tell my members about the shorter profile url?
That is something you will need to figure out.
Or view my update post here to show it in their profiles: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showt…46#post1435246

If this does not work for me, can you suggest another one?
VBSeo
Zoints
Nuhit.com
vBulletin Radio

Insert the following code in your .htaccess file (Post comments for other tweaks and suggestions and alterations to save time for other people who surfed here):

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/?([a-zA-Z0-9]+)$ member.php?username=$1 [L]
