Hey John,
I have tried the method you suggested and followed the link however I am still unable to produce the desired effect.
It seems to push the photo to the top of the page and squash so it is almost unviewable
Any suggestions?

Are you sure that a parent element isn't having some affect on this element? I notice there's no sizing of the element itself, and without seeing your actual markup, I can only take a wild guess. Also, a div with no actual content will be very small as you describe.
Start over with this:
.about
{
min-width:nnpx; (the width of your background image)
min-height:nnpx; (the height of your background image)
background-image: url("../Images/about.jpg");
backgroud-repeat:no-repeat;
}

You set the element "background-size: 50% 100%" and so that's exactly what it's going to do.
You are forcing the to fill a space and so it is distorted. That shouldn't surprise you.
background-size: auto 100%; might give you something closer to what you want, BUT, if you wish an undistorted picture to fill a space then it must be of the same proportions as the space.
You should be able to figure it out from this[^]

Not if you use background-size:cover. 
However, it's not simple to make that only cover half of the height. You'd probably need to use a second element, or a pseudo-element.

At least according to W3Schools:
cover Resize the background image to cover the entire container, even if it has to stretch the image or cut a little bit off one of the edges

Letter-spacing css in chrome is broken if you use absolute pixel count (Npx), but it works fine if you use em.
Just a heads up...
BTW, absolute pixels work fine in IE11, and the latest versions of FireFox, and Opera.
EDIT =============
The CSs only breaks in chrome if you define a class with pixel-based letter-spacing in it. If you just add it to the element as a style attribute, it appears to work fine.

Hi all,
I have a small program that makes a call to a REST API and retrieves a block of JSON. I am parsing this in Ruby which then creates a hash. Because of the way the JSON is structured I am putting the hash into an array and then extracting the second element. I am then doing some string manipulation on this element to produce another array with each element containing a string that looks like the following:-
{:from=>"2018-01-01T00:00Z", :to=>"2018-01-01T00:30Z", :intensity=>{:forecast=>154, :actual=>157, :index=>"low"}}
I am then trying to put each of these elements back into a hash and back into an array (so I end up with an array of hashes) so I can get access to each element of the hash through their corresponding keys.
However when I try to do this within the 'each do end' loop I get an error:-
odd number of arguments for Hash
When I take the same string and just directly add it to the hash (like indicated below) it works fine:-
hash["Mystring"]
Any idea what else I can try?
I can post more code if that would help.
Thanks

I have a partial view in which I am passing a model (the model object is not null). This is the method in the controller:
[ChildActionOnly]
public ActionResult LargeHeader()
{
PWQuote quote = db.GetRandomQuote(-1);
return PartialView("_LargeHeader", quote);
}
When I try to use the Html helper property, intellisense doesn't show it, and when the page is rendered, the partial view is not rendered (and doesn't show up in the page source or browser debugger).
This (simplified code in the partial view .cshtml file) allows the partial view to render:
<span style="font-style:italic;">
Test Quote
</span>
But this does not:
<span style="font-style:italic;">
@Html.DisplayFor(model=>model.Quote)
</span>
In both cases, the model is defined in the partial view with this:
@model Models.PWQuote
Help, please.

Just a guess, but since you're loading it via jQuery, I'd try removing the [ChildActionOnly] attribute. Child action methods aren't supposed to respond to URL requests, so jQuery shouldn't be able to call it.

I'm trying to make _Layout.cshtml load different partial views based on browser window width, but the jquery.load() method can't find the cshtml files (getting a 404 error). The files are in the shared folder, and my javascript looks like this:
<script type='text/javascript'>
$(function ()
{
if (getWidth() > 640) { $("#fluidHeader").load('_LargeHeader.cshtml'); }
else { $("#fluidHeader").load('_MobileHeader.cshtml'); }
});
function getWidth()
{
if (self.innerWidth) { return self.innerWidth; }
if (document.documentElement && document.documentElement.clientWidth) { return document.documentElement.clientWidth; }
if (document.body) { return document.body.clientWidth; }
};
</script>
What am I doing wrong?

I figured it out. I ended up doing this in _Layout.cshtml:
$('#fluidHeader').load('@Url.Action("LargeHeader","Home")');
and this in the Home controller:
public ActionResult LargeHeader()
{
return PartialView("_LargeHeader");
}
Which displays the appropriate markup.
However, I want to use data from a model in the _LargeHeader partial view, and ran into my next roadblock. I started a new question for that.

Hi, everyone!
I scrolled internet and find some interesting article about blockchain. I see that this trend is getting more popular with everyday. But the main question, how to start development in that industry? I am a backend specialist. What info or sites you can recommend to learn this technology and what I'll need to know to work with it? Just for a start and so on.
Thank you!

You can get started with the Wikipedia article as a free resource, Blockchain - Wikipedia.
For any trusted resource, you can find a good resource (book, video course etc.) from a publisher. Since this is an emerging technology, many publishers are investing in the technology and providing an expert-led tutorial that you can look for. Then, there are these libraries (frameworks/platforms) that you can study and learn how they work.
Other resources include, Tutorials & Guides Archives - Blockchain Blog
What is blockchain? - IBM Blockchain

What do you guys use?
A lot of people use reCaptcha (millions of sites according to their propaganda). My only concern there is that if someone succeeds in hacking their stuff, MILLIONS of sites become vulnerable at the same time. Is that a pointless concern?

Certificate-based auth so CAPTCHA isn't needed? 
But seriously, it's just a key code generated off of a selection grid. As long as you limit attempts from a single source (which I'm positive reCAPTCHA does) and seed the interaction (also something it does) it should be as secure as you're going to get in an ostensibly untrusted interaction.

Sorry if this is not the correct forum for discussions on Swagger but I don't know which one is appropriate for it.
I have a rest web api created in C# which returns a JSON response containing base objects and their derived objects. In Swagger response body I am able to see both the base objects and derived objects after applying the filters as explained in the post How do I include subclasses in Swagger API documentation using Swashbuckle? - Stack Overflow[^]
However, I only see the base objects in the Example Values and not their derived objects. So suppose my JSON contains objects called Dog and Cat which inherit from the Animal object, then only the Animal object will show up in the Example Value but not the Dog or Cat object.
Please show me how to modify Swagger Example Value to display base objects and their derived objects. Thanks.

ok, this is possibly an unusual one...
I have a friend who owns a load of domain names, which he's always had the intention of setting up with full blown sites over time
he isn't a coder, but he is a really good ideas guy
Obviously, this means he is paying a load of money out each year for renewals, way too much, thousands!
At one point he had close to 3000 names, i think many lapsed but he still has at least a few hundred, maybe even a 1000!
So anyway, the here task is to find a way to put some kind of sites up really quickly, with the intention of making a small amounts of money from advertising, not so that he can make a fortune from them, but just so that each one can cover the renewal fee.
he wants to get some of the full sites developed as soon as possible but obviously can't do them all at the same time.
Therefore, As these quick sites are built, he wants to be able to make a bit of money off each to cover the domain renewal cost, and use that money (which was being used to renew) to have the full ones built and gradually snowball the development of the portfolio
so for the initial phase, i think the priorities are to look at having a fast, efficient way of getting sites online, being able to automate everything possible.
I know him well and he is not a spamming kind of person, but he needs to stop the outgoings and put that money into developing the full sites
his initial ideas (for the full sites) were good and in depth for each site.
Some related domains were to be used to point to 1 central site, like several satellites generating traffic for the main one in each area
he says as long as they are making the renewals then thats good enough at this stage
oh, and he hates Wordpress, so anything WP related is off limits
My skillset and preferences revolve mainly around Laravel, but I'm open to other non-Laravel solutions if thats what would be a better fit
so far, I'm thinking towards the following possibilities, but I'm open to critique on any of them, since I do not have the experience to tell what would work best
- to find a way to create a fairly simple template and find a system to be able to upload multiple versions of it quickly.
- I was interested in finding out more about laravel.hosting as they said they had a 1-click Laravel solution, but now I'm not sure if they would be the best people to use!
- Maybe Forge could be a possible solution for quick deployment?
- could I use subdomains running from one laravel base for this? I don't know if that is possible
- use sass with variables for the colours, and on each iteration, have a different sass variables file which would give a different colour theme on each site.
- research scraping to find a way to include content on each site. I've found possible solutions in Python, Rails, and a possible solution in Laravel by writing a scheduled command
- group the domains into subject areas, so that different content can be added to one site, and then point related domain names at the one with the content
- have (google or other) ads included to create Click Through income
Any ideas?

I find it a bit suspicious that someone would accumulate thousands of sites without having any use for them. What's missing from your description is just what kind of site(s) he needs to set up. And why so many domains?
It sounds like someone who is going to get themselves in lots of search engines with all of the sites pointing the same one (or few). This way, if a scammer, he/she can get lots of hits and still keep an apparently good reputation via the many other sites.
Perhaps follow up with a plausible and legitimate reason for this scenario and you'll get more help.

I want to disable add to cart button for specific products. Can anyone guide me on this ?

Where does this cart come from?
WordPress? ASP.NET based, or any other? You need to share some more specifics about it.
