Updating Dynamic website with CSV database

I have a question. I am very new to dynamic sites. I am
working in dreamweaver, navicat, mysql and coldfusion to create a
site that reads from a csv database. My question is this:
The csv file is updated daily to reflect changes in
inventory. Again, be gentle because I am very new at this, and our
company cannot afford to bring in someone who can speed through
this. Is there a way for me to design the front end and back end so
that all I need to do to update the site is replace the information
in the database from the new CSV file to reflect the updates in the
inventory. I don't want to touch the front end. I want to have
fields in the database that link to the images.
Is this possible?

Cannot afford or will not afford? This is a tremendous
difference.

What platform?
When you say database do you mean the csv file?
Many databases (Access, Mysql, MSSQL) you can import csv
files and
depending the the options your hosting co provides, it can be
very easy
to somewhat agravating.

Progammatic update a table with a database view in the page

Hi All,
I am using JDev 11g. With FOD database schema, I have one database view Products which comes from two tables Products_Base and Product_Transactions. I created three EOs (ProductEO, ProductsBaseEO, ProductTransactionsEO) and three VOs (ProductVO, ProductsBaseVO, ProductTransactionsVO) based on their EOs respectively.
Here is my scenario. I have an ADF form which is based on the database view Products and is dragged and dropped from Data Controls->ProductVO. When an existing record is submitted, a backing bean method will be called to update the data against the table Products_Base (and the table Product_Transactions at the same time) programmatically. An update method updateProductPrice() is added into the Application Module and published it to UI Client. The submit button in the page is created by directly dragging and dropping Data Controls->updateProductPrice into the page. When I run it, I got the following error message,
Failed to post data to database during "Update": SQL Statement "UPDATE PRODUCTS ProductEO SET COST_PRICE=:1 WHERE PRODUCT_ID=:2".
What I don't understand here is that, in my update method updateProductPrice(), it supposes to update the table Products_Base. But from the error, it appears that it is trying to update the view Products. Can anyone give me a help on what I did wrong here? When I try to debug it, it throws an exception to this line in the method updateProductPrice(),
getDBTransaction().commit();
Here are my codes,
The method which got called in the backing bean
public String cb6_action() {
DCBindingContainer bc = (DCBindingContainer)getBindings();
FacesCtrlAttrsBinding ProductId = (FacesCtrlAttrsBinding)bc.get("ProductId");
FacesCtrlAttrsBinding CostPrice = (FacesCtrlAttrsBinding)bc.get("CostPrice");
JUCtrlActionBinding action =
(JUCtrlActionBinding)bc.findCtrlBinding("updateProductPrice");
DCDataControl dc = action.getDataControl();
ApplicationModule am = (ApplicationModule)dc.getDataProvider();
AppModule service = (AppModule)am;
service.updateProductPrice(new Long(ProductId.toString()), CostPrice.toString());
return null;
public BindingContainer getBindings() {
return BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
The update method defined in the Application module (AppModuleImpl.java)
public void updateProductPrice(long productId, String costPrice) {
ProductsBaseEOImpl product = retrieveProductById(productId);
if (product != null) {
try {
product.setCostPrice(new Number(costPrice));
getDBTransaction().commit();
catch (JboException ex) {
getDBTransaction().rollback();
throw ex;
catch (SQLException ex1) {
getDBTransaction().rollback();
private ProductsBaseEOImpl retrieveProductById(long productId) {
EntityDefImpl productDef = ProductsBaseEOImpl.getDefinitionObject();
Key productKey = ProductsBaseEOImpl.createPrimaryKey(new DBSequence(productId));
return (ProductsBaseEOImpl)productDef.findByPrimaryKey(getDBTransaction(),productKey);

Dynamic website with Flash?

I'm using Dreamweaver 8 building a coldfusion website. The
content for
the webpages are pulled from an MS Access database. I'm
trying to add
in a flash photo gallery to a few of the pages. If I put the
flash
code directly on the webpage it will dispaly the flash photo
gallery.
However, if I put that same code into the database and
display it
dynamically it will not display the flash photo gallery. I
have
checked the source code of the dynamic page after it has
loaded and
the code is there.
I'm sure the problem has something to do with the slight
delay it
takes for the code to be pulled from the database. Does
anyone know of
a fix for this?
The html for both the static and dynamic page look exactly
the same if
you view the source code after the page has loaded. any help
is
GREATLY appreciated, thanks!

Usually the best source of information on working with a
template is from the site where you purchased the template. There
may be supplimental information packaged with the downloaded files,
or there may be comments written directly into the files
themselves.
Exactly how you modify the file will depend on how it was
designed, what version of Actionscript was used, whether it uses a
component, or an swc file, and how well it was created.

Updating internal table with CSV file

I have a flat file as below:

Can anyone give me some solution to update the internal table.

or you delete ' from csv file before uploading it or after uploading it, in this last case u can use statament replace:

If you have trouble finding the domain file in Time Machine you can try using Find Any File to search your Time Machine hard drive for "Domain.sites2". FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't, like invisible folders, packages, etc.
When you find the latest domain file in the serarch results window just drag it from that window to the Desktop.

Csvde update user info with csv file

I see many ways how to do this online but I don't understand how to write the entire script myself from what's being showed online, being it from a video or from another forum - due to everyone else s' methods involves different scenarios.
I would like know what does my excel/csv file need to look like if I'm updating only each AD object inside an OU with the following:
TELEPHONE NUMBER, FAX NUMBER, MOBILE NUMBER, TITLE - the other entries are already there, such as web address, email address, display name.
And then what am I going to add in the command line: CSVDE -i -f mailboxdetails.csv ect?

I agree with Ed.
If you have a Windows 2008 R2 AD in place , you can achive this goal by using a .csv file and a script with couple of lines in PowerShell .
First create the csv file which must contains the following header and its value (any other if you want) :
SamAccountName,Title,FaxNumber,MobilNumber,TelephoneNumber
then use the below script :
Import-Module activeDirectory
$allusers =Import-Csv c:\users.csv
foreach($user in $allusers)
Set-aduser -identity $user.samaccountname -Title $user.title -mobilePhone $user.mobileNumber -Fax $user.faxNumber -add @{TelephoneNumber=$user.telephonenumber }
Note : just change the .csv file name and it's path .

How difficult is it to update a website with mobile platforms as well as desktop?

I just updated my Adobe CC for Photographers to the full version of CC mostly to get Muse. I thought it was fully adaptable to mobile devices. Now I'm finding out that that isn't necessarily true. Is it true I have to run three different platforms to have the mobile comparability? If this is true will I have to update all three every time I change or add to my website? How difficult is it to do this?
Also, I read somewhere that if it isn't hosted at Adobe some of the add-ons like forms and blogs may not work. Is this correct?
Thanks for any help,
Linda

Multi-platform support depends on what templates/ themes you use and their associated CSS and widgets. Not everything works everywhere and that's something you have to live with, was e.g. support for JavaScript on mobile devices is generally a pain in the rear parts. Otherwise you get what you pay for - if you need more forms or other features, you have to move on from your limited options included in MU and look around. Though I really don't see the issue. You can have anything from blogs to forums for free these days, you may just have to live with the fact that then you wouldn't use Muse at all to manage them and add content.

Building the site structure for a dynamic website with JSF

Hi,
I am still a JSF-beginner.
I try to build a fully-functional base-demo-application with a fix and a dynamic part.
Fix part for menu, dynamic part for site-content.
At the moment, the JSF-hyperlinks of the main menu work, but any JSF-parts in the included documents of the dynamic part are not shown. I guess, this is dued to inclusion of subviews, but I cannot find any similar examples in the web to come one step further.

Who can name me that code positions responsible for that the JSF link in the dynamic part is not shown?
It is not that it does not work it is not shown. The JSF tree seems to be cut because of wrong use of view and subview etc.
(To put view tags in site1.jsp and site2.jsp does not help.)
(Once having afforded an example it should go... (*Then* with JSTL, external CSS, etc. ;) )
Dynamical site structure with include files is the big problem at the moment.)
bye, Maik

I found your following suggestions for such cases (seems you are the only profound JSF freak in the world...? :-) )
Switch between subviews in one main page
http://balusc.blogspot.com/2007/01/dynamic-jsf-subviews.html
But the main problem for me is that I never find complete examples, but always fragments and it would be important for a beginner to have at least once a complete JSF example over a few subviews, especially here where it is very easy to corrupt the internal tree.
(Some examples use the subview tags in the calling JSP, some in the called e.g.... Does not matter where to put it? Some use verbatim tags for HTML code outside JSF, some don't... and so on)
Can anyone give me an URL for a complete example of a JSF site (with all files as possible, I am not very patient, too, but in this case it makes sense to have it entire ;-) ) with dynamic switches of subviews as preferentially used for bigger portal sites?

How can I update existing website with Iweb after hard disc crash?

I created my website on iweb and published it (but not at mobile me). Unfortunately my hard disc crashed, before I saved my webpage. Now I bought a new web and want to update my published website. How do I open it in my new Iweb 9 to update it?
Thanks for your help,
orisu

Your iWeb data is stored, not in your actual published html files, but in a file called Domain.sites which is stored in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. If you want to work on your site on another computer, copy this file to a thumb drive to move it around.

Website with a database

I want to create a website which will have downloadable content and I don't know if I have to create a database for it and have a server.Can anyone help me, please?

Strictly speaking, just having downloadable content does not require either a database or scripting. For example -
<a href="whatever.zip">Download 'whatever.zip'</a>
This link will trigger a download action in your browser for the whatever.zip file. That's because the browser does not recognize the *.zip extension as renderable.
As Jon correctly points out, there are many other scenarios that you could be thinking of when you asked your question and we would know what the full context of the download is to answer properly.

SAP Kernel update with HANA DATABASE

I have updated kernel with Oracle databases and my biggest doubt is if I have to do something in the database, what would it be?
I have looking for any note that help me with a step by step but I couldn't find it. In that order I will ask you based on your own experiences.
Current Kernel is 742 PL28, I am planning to update to PL 101.
I appreciate any comments or suggestions,

Dynamic website advice needed

Hi, I need a program that has an easy interface for a
non-programmer. The
client is a staffing agency and needs to update the available
jobs on a
daily basis. Right now they are using 8 year old software
called Web Data. I
would like the program to integrate with DW8 and be easy to
install.
Thanks, Ron

You would build a dynamic website with DW that gives your
client access
to a secure area where they can add jobs.
Do you know any serverside languages? If you do, DW can help
you out, if
not, then you either need to do some learning, or pay someone
else do
this one.

Help with building dynamic website using tutorial (was: I know this is a repost but I'm still stuck!)

Perhaps this was missed by the group but here goes:
I am slogging thru a dynamic PHP tutorial but I cant continue without losing some understanding of the process due to ?
I am trying to complete the following:
Building your first dynamic website – Part 2: Developing the back end
However,
my Insert record form dialog (below) looks like this, and I need to change both 'title' and 'blog_entry' values (as shown above), but I cannot make that choice in my form.
I am using DW CC with the Deprecated Server Behavior from DMX zone.
I have made sure my results match the tutorial, but I cant get past the above inconsistency in functionality.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks folks!

The Columns area indicates which form field is used to insert a value in each column. Although the post_id and updated columns are listed as getting no value, their values are generated automatically by the database.
Check that the title and blog_entry columns are being assigned the correct values. If either is marked as getting no value, it means that you have spelled the names of the form fields differently from the column names. Correct this by selecting the column name in the Columns area and selecting the form field's name from the Value pop-up menu.

Can a website built with adobe muse interface with a database such as an Excel spreadsheet?

Is it possible for a website built in Adobe Muse to interface with a database? I need to turn a rather robust excel spreadsheet into an easy-to-use website that links to a database that can be updated easily and regularly. Thanks.

Hi,
Muse is a designing software. You can design websites in Muse and host it on any server of your choice. There is no native feature in Muse to convert a spreadsheet into a website. If you are good with coding, you can develop it outside Muse and call it in Muse site using iframes, if at all it is helpful to you.

I need to host a website with a SQL database - Azure pricing details are too confusing

Hello,
I need to give a potential client a hosting price for a somewhat simple web application they want me to build. I told them it shouldn't be a problem. After gathering the requirements, I figured I would use the following technology to build and host
it:
ASP.NET 4.5
MVC 5
1 SQL Database ~ 25GB with options to expand and also with a backup
SSL certificate needed
Hosting would be on Azure because I have some experience using Visual Studio 2012 and integrating the Visual Studio Online (TFS) source code and scrum web applications. I've never actually spun up a website with a SQL database using Azure before, but I
imagined it wasn't too difficult to find a general hosting plan to support the above requirements.
The use of the website will be very simple and limited to the basic CRUD operations. Will support forms authentication using the Identity 2.0 framework. The web applications main purpose is to fill out a form for new accounts, have a search page for
those accounts, a page to view a created account and add notes to it. So performance wise, it isn't asking for much. I just want it to be fast and secure.
So I start looking on the Azure's pricing landing page which is here: (can't put links in here, but search Azure pricing on Bing) and I see this Pricing Calculator, so I click it
First thing I notice is the Websites tab doesn't mention SQL Database - in fact the Data Management is a separate tab from Websites. And if I made my selections on the Websites tab, the estimated monthly price doesn't stay the same when I go to the Data
Management tab - so I get the illusion I have to have two separate purchases.
I'm not exactly sure if the Pay as You Go billing feature would be okay because it's just a bit scary to leave every monthly payment up to chance; somewhat. Would love to know if there is other payment options that I could see for what I described above.
I want to use Azure to host my asp.net website - it makes sense and the integration with Visual Studio is amazing. I love the publish feature for both MVC 5 Projects and SQL Database Projects.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Hello jdevanderson,
I suggest that you start by looking at the pricing TIERS for the Azure website. This link will give you clarity on different Service TIERS that are availaible:
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/pricing/details/websites/
You can guage your requirement and choose the Service TIER accordingly.
And regarding the database, you are right about it. You will be charged seperately for the database. You can refer to this link that will give you clarity on SQL database pricing:
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/pricing/details/sql-database/
Refer to this link for more information on 'How pricing works':
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/pricing/
Use the full calculator to add your website and the database to get an estimated cost:
