Is there an up-to-date forum for email coding issues?

There's a lot of info online but these issues change almost monthly with new webmail "features" that tend to break old format rules. Is there an ongoing discussion group for this?  Or is there a Dreamweaver email perfect plugin?
Also, does the Outlook 2007 validator (made for Dreamweaver 8 it says) work in CS5?  If so, how do you find it in the Validator in Dreamweaver?
Charles

I installed the Dreamweaver Outlook 2007 validator but I found an immediate problem with it.  I tried validating an en email that I built from a template that I was given by a client which has the font style only in the body tag. It validates the code as being perfect. It may validate perfectly but the template doesn't work in Outlook 2007 because the font style is not inline.  A working code validator that would report problems in different email clients would be brilliant - but it would have to be continually updated. Just last month Yahoo launched a new version of its online webmail which already has caused problems for me (such as tables mysteriously separating which doesn't appear anywhere else). Articles are OK but the problem is requirements are always changing.
Charles I agree with a lot of what you are saying and from my personal experience I don't even worry about Lotus Notes anymore because of the low volume of recipients.  It is true what you are saying though about Outlook and inline styles, but Microsoft has been pretty consistent since the change in 2007 with the "Word Rendering Engine".  You should be able to easily modify the client's email though with the font so that it is inline and renders, not that it should be a big concern because you are very limited in the fonts you use unless you are doing emails for a company like Panic which targets Mac & mobile users, all of which have clients that allow CSS3 effects in emails.  It's very good to see their optimism with the way the rest of world looks at email.
The problem with Constant Contact and Mail Chimp are that they are commercial blasting companys.  I can't use them for our clients - we have to code and blast  the emails ourself. 
This is a very dangerous practice and I don't understand what why that wouldn't work for your clients?  If it's sensitive content there are other email providers who can do that sort of thing if you give more industry specifics.  The part that would worry me as an outside contractor is that the client needs to know up front, if they send spam, their server is done for.  Your hosting provider for the mail server could shut you down, the ISPs could blacklist you and it would affect the everyday email traffic and not just the promotional email pieces that you send out.
And I will say this about Mailchimp.  I did find consistent results using their templates with the exception of their footer, which I did write to them about.  I've noticed some issues with some !important tags not being read correctly in Outlook 2010.  But other than that, the service was good, and I did try to learn their template language for some custom emails, but then someone had a change of mind about services so I never saw it through.

  • SSRS 2008 Column Chart with Calculated Series (moving average) "formula error - there are not enough data points for the period" error

    I have a simple column chart grouping on 1 value on the category axis.  For simplicity's sake, we are plotting $ amounts grouping by Month on the category axis.  I right click on the data series and choose "Add calculated series...".  I choose moving average.  I want to move the average over at least 2 periods.
    When I run the report, I get the error "Formula error - there are not enough data points for the period".  The way the report is, I never have a guaranteed number of categories (there could be one or there could be 5).  When there is 2 or more, the chart renders fine, however, when there is only 1 value, instead of suppressing the moving average line, I get that error and the chart shows nothing.
    I don't think this is entirely acceptable for our end users.  At a minimum, I would think the moving average line would be suppressed instead of hiding the entire chart.  Does anyone know of any workarounds or do I have to enter another ms. connect bug/design consideration.
    Thank you,
    Dan

    I was having the same error while trying to plot a moving average across 7 days. The work around I found was rather simple.
    If you right click your report in the solution explorer and select "View Code" it will give you the underlying XML of the report. Find the entry for the value of your calculated series and enter a formula to dynamically create your periods.
    <ChartFormulaParameter Name="Period">
                      <Value>=IIf(Count(Fields!Calls.Value) >= 7 ,7, (Count(Fields!Calls.Value)))</Value>
    </ChartFormulaParameter>
    What I'm doing here is getting the row count of records returned in the chart. If the returned rows are greater than or equal to 7 (The amount of days I want the average) it will set the points to 7. If not, it will set the number to the amount of returned rows. So far this has worked great. I'm probably going to add more code to handle no records returned although in my case that shouldn't happen but, you never know.
    A side note:
    If you open the calculated series properties in the designer, you will notice the number of periods is set to "0". If you change this it will overwrite your custom formula in the XML.

  • Is there a solution or work around for flash player issues?

    Is there a solution, app or work around for flash player issues w/ iPad 2? Maybe even something in development?

    Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter and Puffin 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store, so you could try checking there for your sites (and there is the built-in YouTube app). But flash itself is unlikely to ever be supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ , and Adobe have failed to create a version of flash that works on iOS
    There is a search box on the right-hand side of this page for further info.

  • Can we set up a forum for Security related issues?

    I know many of us think security is a Windows related issue, but from time to time there are security issues that may come up. I had a question so I looked and couldn't find a forum, so I posted in one of the OS X 10.6 sub forums.
    Thanks!

    I am a co-founder of Calendar of Updates http://www.calendarofupdates.com/updates/index.php?act=idx This is a site that is primarily a Windows based security forum (I switched about 4-5 years ago). Over the years, I've tried to grow the Mac side of our forum, but, as you may know, there is little or no interest in security within the Mac community. For many, the feel security is a Windows issue.
    It's a free site, so don't think I have a vested interest in growing the membership, I'm not an owner, either.
    I just created an *Apple OS X Security Issues* forum http://www.calendarofupdates.com/updates/index.php?showforum=209
    Right now it's an empty forum since it was created 10 minutes ago. Please feel free to join the forum and share security related issues and questions.
    I am not aware of any other forums that deal with OS X security issues
    exclusively, so this forum could be a good place to bookmark and visit from time to time.

  • How to change data usage for email?

    Is there a way to change the email settings from Push to Pull, and also email advance settings as far as deleting emails from the servers?

    You could try disabling IMAP on your email client website and then adding a POP account for your email on your phone. I know GMAIL allows you to disable IMAP on the website.

  • Is there any work-around in Mavericks for DVD burning issue's

    Ever since I installed the updated OX I get errors and problems burning disc's ( with my external Sony and OWC DVD burner's. Sometime's it freezes in the middle of burning and other times it hangs by the verification process. Even using Apple's own internal burner give's me these issue's. Even aborting the burn after it hangs is problematic. I usually have to turn off the burner and then on again and eject the disc . I use the latest version of Toast but have tried with Mac's own burning option. It makes no difference, both ways aren't working for me. In Bootcamp while trying to burn (on PC) side. The computer keeps crashing. I have had this experiance on my iMac and Mac Book Pro both early 2011.

    Hi Pavan,
    I am assuming you want to persist some intermediate values from a process XSLT invocation to another process XSLT invocation in BPEL.
    An approach to persist variables in XSLT could be to persist them the target variable itself (in an optional section):
    <li>This can be achieved by having an additional root element and mandatory element (say, data), having the actual schema and an optional complex type element (say, parameters, which would in turn consist of 2 elements name and value and maybe, if needed, type) attached to both the source and target schemas.
    <li>whatever variable you would want to persist, you can append it in the XSLT to the target variable,as children of parameters node.
    <li>Whenever, you want to invoke a partner link, you can have an assignment before invoking, which would assign the actual schema data (from element data) to the input variable of the invoke.
    As there is no inbuilt solution for this, things could get messy.
    Regards,
    Shanmu.

    it seems to me that these forums are for the use of safari with focus on troubleshooting technical issues. i have asked questions in here before about writing code and scripts for safari and it seems those questions just won't get answered here. so can anyone recommend a good coding forum definitely with a focus on safari, html, and javascript?

    Hi
    Yes, this forum is definitely a "troubleshooting" one, directed towards users of Safari. For something developer oriented start here.
    Hope that helps.

  • Due date analysis for G/L account

    Hy!
    I need to make a report that makes due date analysis for G/L accounts similar to S_ALR_87012078 Due date analysis for open items
    for Account payable.
    Has any one experience with that and can help me with that?
    Regards,
    Marina

    Hi Marina,
    its a bit surprising why you require due date analysis for GL accounts as GL accounts are used for realtime posting and no credit involved. Only AR and AP accounts contain credit, so they may be even over due and thus we require ageing or due date analysis.
    If transaction is on a cash basis should be posted to GL not to Subledger. Since there is no due date system for GL posting due date is not possible which makes sense too.
    Hope this gets a better clarity for you.
    Regards
    Bharat

  • Difference between Data Providers for Oracle

    Hello,
    There are 3 .NET Data Providers for access an Oracle Database:
    1) ODP.NET, who uses Oracle API to access an Oracle Database.
    2) Microsoft .NET Data Provider for Oracle, who comes in the Assemblie System.Data.OracleClient
    3) Microsoft .NET Data Provider for OLE DB.
    My questions are:
    1) There is another Data Provider to access an Oracle DB ?
    2) Which is better, for example to handle LOB fields ?
    3) Which is better in performance ?
    4) ODP.NET uses some Oracle API to handle a DB, and the others ?
    5) What is the requirement (Oracle Client, OS) of each of them ?
    Best Regards
    Alfredo DS

    I would recommend using ODP.NET. Overall, I've seen better performance from it than other Oracle providers. It requires the 9.2 client and any OS that the 9.2 client supports.
    With respect to LOBs, the first ODP.NET version was consistently faster retrieving LOBs than other Oracle providers. The latest version of ODP.NET (and the upcoming version) have made some substantial improvements in LOB performance on top of that.

  • CalendarUI element showing different date format for different locations

    Hi,
    I have an input field with date calendar in my webdynpro Java form . User can select date from this calendar and fill the input field. For this I have used input field  in my layout and have binded this with one context attribute of type date. Say name of this field is requiredByDate
    Now when I build and deploy my code, I can see the the required By date field and user is able to select date values from the calendar button next to the input field. The format of the date selected is mm/dd/yyyy.
    However , when a user tests this application from other location say Malaysia, for him the format is coming as dd/mm/yyyy after selecting the date from the calendar.
    Just want to know ,is there is difference in date format for differnt locations ? For India, when you select the date its showing mm/dd/yyyy and for Malayisa its showing dd/mm/yyyy.
    Is there anything we can do by changing our system settings like timezone or dateformat in system settings.
    I am using standard UI element and binding it with context element of type date.
    Need your advice or help on this..
