Best way to design

Hey everybody. I'm new...to everything. I've had aDreamweaver
Mx for a long time but have used simple webpage builders in the
past (like yahoo pagebuilder-my boss wanted it that way). I'm
actually a graphic designer (using photoshop and illustrator) and I
was wondering, what is the easiest way to go about re-designing our
site? Can I use photoshop or illustrator and just import that into
dreamweaver or one of the other programs? If so, can you give me a
heads up on how I would start to do that (not the whole process)
just a heads up on where to start looking. Thanks so much.

Essentially everything you wrote about dpi and the web is
wrong.

Design question - best way to design a page for layout at runtime

I have an application that I want to port to ADF faces. The application currently generates HTML for both the layout and for the data at runtime. All of the examples I have researched rely on a layout defined at design time, which will not work in my case as I have no way of knowing exactly what the layout will be until runtime.
My question is what is the best way to use ADF faces to dynamically build a web page where the page layout can not be known at design time, only at runtime. Is there a way to build the component tree that will generate the HTML at runtime?
Here are the specifics:
I have an existing application that generates repeating sections of HTML for a user view -- a set of step by step instructions. Each step in the instructions contains one or more of the following elements
- a heading
- some text
- a table with text in the table cells
There can be one or more steps in a document. Some documents will have a few steps, some will have many steps.
I am looking for the best way to generate the repeating HTML steps in a single HTML document.
One idea: can I use a fragment for each step and bind to the data at rutime? If this works, how would I create an iterator or loop that would be able to include the fragment n times to render a single HTML view showing the sequence of all steps?

Thanks for the suggestions, still don't have a good strategy, however.
What I am really trying to do here is to generate HTML at runtime. This is easy to do with servlets and or jsp, it looks like it is very difficult or impossible with ADF Faces. Using Java EE technologies, I simply include or exclude the HTML markup as an output of my servlet or jsp. I can use JSTL and a backing bean to do most of this. Unfortunately, in ADF faces, it seems that all controls are defined at design time in XML. Editing the XML files at runtime does not seem to be a logical approach. I have tried adding some controls in the backing bean at runtime, and got them to render. However, I also got an el error at runtime, indicating that the framework cannot find the accessor methods, which of course makes sense, as they don't exist in the backing bean. I don't really see any way to effectively modify the backing bean to accommodate this use case.
Interestingly, a coworker is using .Net to do a similar project. In this project we want to print labels using convention instead of configuration. In the convention, we have a data object that contains named fields. We try to match up the field name in a label template with the field name in the data structure, using reflection. Any fields that cannot be matched up end up as input text boxes with associated prompts. Since we cannot know how many fields will match up at design time, we dynamically build a web page containing one or more text inputs for the user to enter data that cannot be pulled from our data structure. We return this page to the user for data input. In short, using .Net we can create a single tool that can be used to print any current or future label our users may want to create. Apparently, .Net can do this quite easily.
This is a somewhat common approach, that I have used in a number of businesses. Did Oracle really miss this use case with ADF Faces, or is there some way to approach these types of problems?
Thanks,
Steve

Is InDesign the best way to design material to go into a book?

Hello,
I am creating a music book with colours, designs and sometimes non-uniform layouts. Microsoft Word is a bit too basic for this use, and photoshop has been useful, but a little impractical, since I am only looking at one page at a time.
One of my cousins uses InDesign to create her printed documents and she recommended using it. What would you guys recommend as well? Is Indesign the best platform for designing material that is to the standard of publication.
Thank you,
Rajen

Yes, InDesign would be perfect for this.

Best way to design jsp/template structure

I am trying to create one page comprising of multiple pages without using frames.
My thought was to create a template.jsp, which has the following includes:
<jsp:include page="<%=header%>"></jsp:include>
<jsp:include page="<%=menu%>"></jsp:include>
<jsp:include page="<%=content%>"></jsp:include>
<jsp:include page="<%=footer%>"></jsp:include>Here is an example of the question that arises...
In the HTML code of the 'menu' included page, I have a link to some other page (ex. 'abc.jsp' )
When clicking on this link, I would like to call the template.jsp with 'abc.jsp' being inserted where the 'content' tag is.
So, what is the best way to do this without frames?
Do I have every link call a controller servlet which stores the links in a request. Then the controller servlet calls the template.jsp with the link as a request parameter?
Is there a built in function in JSP that does this w/o any extra code?
Any other suggestions/practices that are more common or easier to implement?
Also, Is there major overhead on including 4 pages each call? Or after it compiles with the included page, the overhead is negligable, until a new page is swapped in place of an existing included page?
Thank you

A thought:
<%
String content = request.getParameter("content");
%>
<jsp:include page="<%=header%>"></jsp:include>
<jsp:include page="<%=menu%>"></jsp:include>
<jsp:include page="<%=content%>"></jsp:include>
<jsp:include page="<%=footer%>"></jsp:include>
Once everything is compiled, the overhead is in executing the pages. If you pass in a page that hasn't been compiled yet, obviously that would have to be compiled. I haven't tried dynamic includes like that - does it work?

What is the best way to design a simple form that is captured in structured accessible database/file?

Hi there,
I need to design a simple form to capture some data from the users. This data shall be able to post into structured database where I can connect to the content to grab the data automatically every night.
What is the simple recommended way to do this?
Thank you

I will agree with Margriet Bruggeman, But if you want to have a collaboration with these data with security, then "Business Connectivity Services (BCS) " could be another option. It need more config/development but it has own use too.

Best way to design methods in a class. Pass parameters or use members?

Say I have a class.
public final class AvgOuncesChart extends Base {
    private TimeSeriesCollection ouncesCollection = new TimeSeriesCollection();
    private TimeSeries ouncesSeries = new TimeSeries("Oz. Film/Pallet");
    private NumberAxis ouncesAxis = new NumberAxis("Oz.");
    private XYItemRenderer ouncesRenderer;
private XYPlot plot;
    private final int pkgLineId;
    private final int wrapSpecId;
    private final Date dateBegin;
    private final Date dateEnd;
    private final long millisApart;
    private final WrapSpec wrapSpec;
    public AvgOuncesChart(XYPlot plot, int pkgLineId, int wrapSpecId, Date dateBegin, Date dateEnd, WrapSpec wrapSpec, long millisApart) {
        this.plot = plot;
        this.pkgLineId = pkgLineId;
        this.wrapSpecId = wrapSpecId;
        this.dateBegin = new Date(dateBegin.getTime());
        this.dateEnd = new Date(dateEnd.getTime());
        this.millisApart = millisApart;
        this.wrapSpec = wrapSpec;
        log.info("AvgOuncesChart contructor called...");
getAvg();
getOunce();
private void getAvg() {
    plot.doSomething(pkgLineId);
private void getOunce() {
    plot.doSomething(wrapSpecId);
}Is it better to just pass the parameters I need initially into the constructor and then set them as members.
Or pass them into every method of the class every time I need them.
public final class AvgOuncesChart extends Base {
    private TimeSeriesCollection ouncesCollection = new TimeSeriesCollection();
    private TimeSeries ouncesSeries = new TimeSeries("Oz. Film/Pallet");
    private NumberAxis ouncesAxis = new NumberAxis("Oz.");
    private XYItemRenderer ouncesRenderer;
    public AvgOuncesChart(XYPlot plot, int pkgLineId, int wrapSpecId, Date dateBegin, Date dateEnd, WrapSpec wrapSpec, long millisApart) {
        log.info("AvgOuncesChart contructor called...");
getAvg(pkgLineId, wrapSpecId, dateBegin, dateEnd);
getOunce(wrapSpecId);
private void getAvg(int pkgLineId, int wrapSpecId, Date dateBegin, Date dateEnd) {
    plot.doSomething(pkgLineId);
plot.setDate(dateEnd);
plot.doSomethingElse(wrapSpecId);
private void getOunce(int wrapSpecId) {
    plot.doSomething(wrapSpecId);
}I heard the second way is better because then you can tell from the code what the method is going to use and possibly modify. I'm not to sure on this though.

Best way to design website with multiple pages

In dreamweaver what are your suggestions to create a full website with multiple pages where each page has a different but similar setup. I'd have a similar theme but I don't want each page to be exactly the same as the home page? I've tried a template but that was a nightmare since some of my pages were different from the original page and i had to mess with it to fix it.I've also made the home page, saved the html file in my website root folder then changed that page into the second page and saved it as another html file. I have thought about using pre-made templates and designs but I kind of want to design from my own creative viewpoint.
your ideas are appreciated, advice welcome.

Templates do make your life much easier. I use the following scheme....
First, I mentally separate the page layout into three sections:
1. Stuff that will not change for the life of the site (i.e., the basic
structural elements)
2. Stuff that *could* change from time to time (e.g., navigation elements,
burst advertisements, section-specific navigation, etc.)
3. Stuff that *will* change from one page to the next
Then I create a template containing all class1 elements. Next I create
server-side include files containing all class 2 elements and place them on
the template as needed. Note - some of the class 2 elements may be
"section-specific elements", and their placement on the template will be
subject to the next item. Finally, I insert editable regions to cover the
class 3 items, INCLUDING the section-specific navigation.
This allows me to just cookie-cut the rest of the site. I estimate that
even for fairly large sites, about 80% of my work goes into planning and
creating this template file.
To handle pages that have substantially different layouts I just change the CSS on those pages, and leave the Template alone.

I Need to build a database/booking and dispatch system that intergrates with iCal, Address Book and all Apple device's What would be the best Way.

Hi
Can anyone give me some useful information on the best ways to design and build a database/booking & dispatch system that can be intergrated through ical, address book and available on my macbook, ipad & iphone and all accessed through icloud.
I started my own chauffuer Service a year ago as an independent. it's becoming a massive bore that most of my time is spent taking down information, checking if i am available for clients and with alot of diary checking and repeatative entries and email ping pong and invoicing, what i want to do is concerntrate on advertising and marketing and using my time off for R & R
What i would like to do is access my information in an app and automate most of the processes like
assigning the job to the client with intergration through iCal and Address Book
be able to email confirmation through mail with an invoice produced through numbers or excel
payment is already done through payleven mobile and must be done in person so i'd rather keep that seperate to all processes apart from a tick box to say it has been paid for.
I have been looking at all options FileMaker, Bento, Automator, Apple Script. to be frank im no expert and am a little confused as to what to do any advice would be greatly recieved.

Hi,
I would suggest that is going to be an involved and complex process.
I would personally look into some of the invoicing and time scheduling software available and see if any fit your needs.
Take a look here: http://www.tuaw.com/2008/07/30/app-roundup-timekeeping-and-billing/
and here: http://www.tuaw.com/2008/07/31/app-roundup-timekeeping-and-billing-part-ii-the-q uickening/

Best practice for designing a directory tree

Hello all,
I wanted to know what you all think about what is the best way to design a directory tree. Again it seems to me that experience makes the man perfect and I wanted to know what you all think about how to design directory tree model.
Here is my view; I believe that keeping at least Users/ Employee information flat make more sense to me. I know itâs a good idea that one should consider an organizational hierarchy when designing a tree. But there seems to be some problem too. If employee moves from one department to another within the same organization then directory administrator has to change the location/department of the user. However, if all users are under the same namespace i.e. ou=Users, administrator does not have to change or move users location in the directory to another location.
Also, while designing a directory there could be several hierarchy, one is organizational hierarchy another could be organizing user info based on job roles i.e. CEO->VPs-Managers->Consultant.... and so on so. So which one should consider. So by considering ou=Users namespace, we are avoiding risk on favoring one type of hierarchy.
The trade-off in using ou=Users a flat namespace is that browsing of the directory looks less interesting.
Anyway, this is my view, I would like to know your views too and hope this thread will help other in building their own directory Tree.
Thanks
Syed Suhail Ahmad

Honestly it really depends on what you need your system to do and how you want to handle administration. I have read the argument about keeping things simple with using ou=USERS and seems like the best situation for administration purposes. Currently my client is wanting all identity management to be handled in OID so I am in the process of doing our hierarchy also. I still have to explore the abilities of OID to see how I can set things up.
There are a few good books and websites that are good for referencing ldap. One book I use is LDAP Programming, Management, and Integration by Donley. For websites, just search on google or check out www.ldapguru.com or www.openldap.org(possibly).
Hope this helps a little. I honestly can speak on the best way since I haven't implemented my own yet nor do I think one way will always be best for every situation.

Best way to do document covers -- Illustrator or Indesign?

I work on an academic journal that's relatively simple -- no bleeds on the inside, mostly black and white text and illustrations, with a perfect-binding (paper-back-book style spine). I also now design the covers, which are identical for each issue except for the issue number and date on the front and the spine, and a picture in a box on the front cover. There's a background color over the entire cover that bleeds off all edges. I've been doing the cover layout in Illustrator, since I need to do the front, back, and spine in one piece, and since the width of the spine changes based on the page count, and I wouldn't know how to do this easily in Indesign. But I also need to produce single-page PDFs of the front and back covers without the spine, and making these in Illustrator is awkward -- I can do it using the Print Tiling Tool and printing PDFs, but the Print Tiling tool doesn't snap to the page borders, so it's not as accurate as I'd like. I'd also like to see if I can set up the issue number and date as cross references so they'll automatically update each month, which is something I'd have to do in Indesign.
What's the best way to design the front and back cover in Indesign and import to Illustrator to unite them and add the spine? I'm a little worried about seeing borders between the background color of the covers (made in Indesign) and the spine (made in Illustrator). Any advice appreciated...
Rodney

I do the reverse: front and back covers + spine (with bleed) in 1 spread, and then place that document (cropped to trim) into my single-page layout when generating a low-res PDF of whole book: placed once on front cover, and once on back.

Best way to lay this out?

I have a component that will hold a Tree. In that tree are
certain types of Objects, called 'JReport' objects. Whenever a
JReport Object is clicked, i want to notify a bunch of different
components. Some of these have the same parent as the Tree, but
most do not.
What is the best way to design this? I want it to be as
'black-box' as possible, so no passing objects around if i can help
it. Any suggestions? thanks!

The Observer pattern is a good one for this. Luckily, Flex's
binding
architecture already implements this pattern. Create a model
object that
you change a property of based on what object has been
clicked, then bind
all the views to that property.

What is the best way to use Swing GUIs in an MVC design?

I have a question on how to build an application using swing frames for the UI, but using an MVC architecture. I've checked the rest of the forum, but not found an answer to my question that meets my needs.
My application at this stage presents a login screen to get the userid and password, or to allow the user to choose a new locale. If an Enter action is performed, the userid and password are checked against the DB. If not accepted, the screen is repainted with a "try-again" message. If the Cancel action is performed, the process stops. If a locale action is performed, the screen is repainted with different langauge labels. Once the login process is passed, a front screen (another swing frame) is presented.
Implementation: I am using a session object (Session, represents the user logging in) that calls the Login screen (LoginGUI, a Swing JFrame object with various components). Session uses setters in LoginGUI to set the labels, initial field entries etc, before enabling the screen. From this point, the user will do something with the LoginGUI screen - could be closing the window, entering a mix of userid and password, or maybe specifying a locale. Once the user has taken the action, if required, the session object can use getters to retrieve the userid and password values entered in the fields.
The crux of the problem is 1) how will Session know that an action has been taken on the LoginGUI, and 2) how to tell what action has been taken.
This could be solved by getting LoginGUI to call back to Session, however, I am trying to buid the application with a good separation of business, logic and presentation (i.e MVC, but not using any specific model). Therefore, I do not want LoginGUI to contain any program flow logic - that should all be contained in Session.
I am aware of two possible ways to do this:
1. Make LoginGUI synchronised, so that Session waits for LoginGUI to send a NotifyAll(). LoginGUI could hold a variable indicating what has happened which Session could interrogate.
2. Implement Window Listener on Session so that it gets informed of the Window Close action. For the other two actions I could use a PropertyChangeListener in Session, that is notified when some variable in LoginGUI is changed. This variable could contain the action performed.
Has anyone got any comments on the merits of these methods, or perhaps a better method? This technique seems fundamental to any application that interfaces with end-users, so I would like to find the best way.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I tried to avoid putting in specific code as my question was more on design, and I wanted to save people having to trawl through specific code. And if I had any school assignments outstanding they would be about 20 years too late :-). I'm not sure computers more sophisticated than an abacus were around then...
Rather than putting the actual code (which is long and refers to other objects not relevant to the discussion), I have put together two demo classes to illustrate my query. Comments in the code indicate where I have left out non-relevant code.
Sessiondemo has the main class. When run, it creates an instance of LoginGUIdemo, containing a userid field, password field, a ComboBox (which would normally have a list of available locales), an Enter and a Cancel box.
When the Locale combo box is clicked, the LoginGUIdemo.userAction button is changed (using an ActionListener) and a property change is fired to Session (which could then perform some work). The same technique is used to detect Enter events (pressing return in password and userid, or clicking on Enter), and to detect Cancel events (clicking on the cancel button). Instead of putting in business code I have just put in System.out.printlns to print the userAction value.
With this structure, LoginGUIdemo has no business logic, but just alerts Sessiondemo (the class with the business logic).
Do you know any more elegant way to achieve this function? In my original post, I mentioned that I have also achieved this using thread synchronisation (Sessiondemo waits on LoginGUI to issue a NotifyAll() before it can retrieve the LoginGUI values). I can put together demo code if you would like. Can you post any other demo code to demonstrate a better technique?
Cheers,
Alan

Best Way to Install CS6 Design/Web Premium Upgrade

Hi,
CS6 Design/Web Premium Windows Upgrade (for CS5.5 Design Premium) is shipped and on its way for 5/10/12 delivery. Reading on these boards about CS6 installation problems (plus the installation difficulties for CS5 upgrade from CS4), prompt me to ask:
What is the best way to install the CS6 upgrade?
Is there a CS6 clean tool available?
I would ordinarily first deactivate and uninstall CS5.5 Design Premium.
Is this the best way to proceed?
Regards,

If you do not want to keep a CS5.5 concurrent installation , this is the best way in my opinion.
The CS5.5 uninstallers do not remove everything of CS5.5 however. There will be e.g. left overs in the Help titles of the CS6 Help Manager. There is a cleaner tool: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
Cheers,
Dave

Best way to import Site design in illustrator to Dreamweaver

I have graphically designed a web page in Illustrator and
wish to import it into Dreamweaver to add hyperlinks and such so
its coded properly (i have no experience in coding or web design
prior to this). The menu buttons are already a part of the design
in Illustrator, would they need to be sliced seperatly in order to
create hyperlinks?
What would be the best way to go about all this?
Thanks very much
Jamie

Anyone?

What is the best way to upload icons I created on illustrator, onto a photoshop file of a website design?

I currently in the process of designing a website on Photoshop. I have designed some icons for the website using Illustrator. What is the best way to upload these icons onto the photoshop file and keep them looking crisp and high quality? I have tried a number of ways but all seem to come out pixilated.

What you need to do is make sure you are creating the Illustrator icons at the same ppi as the Photoshop document and at the correct size. If you have created the icons say with 300ppi but are in pixels it won't carry the same properties as the website you are creating if that has been set up as 72ppi and therefore will distort.
Once you have mastered that then you are best (if you think there may be changes to the icons later down the line) to create .ai files of each icon and place them intt the Photoshop document, then if you make any changes to the source .ai file it will update within you website design.
If you don't see the icons changing then you can always just copy and paste directly from Illustrator to Photoshop and make any changes on the fly by making sure you keep it as a smart object.
