Collecting Data using forms
Need help soon or else I am going to throw my computer out
the window.
My problem is simple (or so I thought). I would like to
collect data from people using a simple form. I thought all I would
have to do is create the form (done this already), and have the
form dump the info into a file (say a database). Then I could go
into the database and look at the data at my leisure. This is
proving far too difficult.
Steps I have taken so far:
1. I have created the form.
2. I have created the associated database using ACCESS 2000.
3. I have talked to my provider, they use ASP
This is where I get stuck. I want the info dumped into my
database. This apparently is not so easy. I have scoured the
internet for a layman's tutorial, but to no avail. There is talk of
a script required. Where does this go, in dreamweaver or elsewhere?
I switched to dreamweaver from FrontPage recently because of
the power behind the program. However, FrontPage is sooooo much
easier when it comes to collecting data. Why is dreamweaver so much
more difficult?
I am getting frustrated and hope someone out there can give
me a hand.

Because FP relies on a propriatary server technology that is
installed on the Windows Server.
DW works with all kinds of operating systems, web servers and
technologies. For some tasks, like the one you are inquiring about,
it has server behaviors that essential write the server side
scripts for you. Again, read the tutorial I mentioned.

Capture who changed data using Forms Personalization & changed to what data
Dear All,
When the data is changed to a new data (say the price has been changed), I need to capture
a) the original data
b) newly changed data
c) who changed the data
into a newly created custom table using FORMS PERSONALIZATION.
How do I do using FORMS PERSONALIZATION?
Thanks.
MatthewHey guys, I did it.... and it does work. Here is what I did.
I created a table to capture the required data.
CREATE TABLE XYKA_PRICE_CHANGE_DTLS
LIST_LINE_ID NUMBER,
PRODUCT_ID VARCHAR2(240),
PRODUCT_ATTR_VAL_DISP VARCHAR2(4000),
NEW_PRICE NUMBER,
DIV_NAME VARCHAR2(240),
PRICE_CHANGED_BY VARCHAR2(6),
PRICE_CHANGED_TIME DATE,
OLD_PRICE NUMBER
Create two procedures which needs to enter data into this XYKA_PRICE_CHANGE_DTLS table. We will pass values from FORMS PERSONALIZATION by calling this
procedure in the ACTION tab.
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure PRICE_CHANGE_DETAILS(price IN number,updated_by IN varchar2,disp IN varchar2,prod_id IN varchar2,line_id IN number,head_id in number,old_price in number) AS
v_name varchar2(240);
BEGIN
select name into v_name from qp_secu_list_headers_v where list_header_id = head_id;
insert into XYKA_PRICE_CHANGE_DTLS(NEW_PRICE, PRICE_CHANGED_BY,ITEM_NUMBER,PRICE_CHANGED_TIME,PRODUCT_ID,LIST_LINE_ID,PRICE_LIST_NAME,OLD_PRICE) values (price,updated_by,disp,sysdate,prod_id,line_id,v_name,old_price);
COMMIT;
END;
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure APPS.PRICE_CHANGE_DTLS(price IN number,updated_by IN varchar2,disp IN varchar2,prod_id IN varchar2,line_id IN number,head_id in number,old_price in number) AS
V_PRICE_CHANGED_TIME date;
V_PRODUCT_ID varchar2(240);
V_LIST_LINE_ID number;
V_count number := 0;
BEGIN
select count(*) into v_count from XYKA_PRICE_CHANGE_DTLS
WHERE LIST_LINE_ID = line_id AND PRODUCT_ID = prod_id AND NEW_PRICE = price;
if nvl(v_count,0) = 0 THEN
PRICE_CHANGE_DETAILS(price,updated_by,disp,prod_id,line_id,head_id,old_price);
else
null;
end if;
END;
In fact, I want to capture the current price and the changed price in pricing which is OPERAND field in qp_list_lines_v table (OM MANAGER > PRICING > PRICE
LISTS > PRICE LIST SETUP)
In the FORM PERSONALIZATION, enter the seq and the description
Seq 1
Description GLOBAL_VARIABLE

Trigger Object LIST_LINES.OPERAND
Processing Mode Not in Enter-Query Mode

Click APPLY NOW button. Save it and the close this FORMS PERSONALIZATION. Go back to the navigation and then click on the module. Try changing the price.
Your current and the newly changed price along with who changed it, time etc will be inserted into XYKA_PRICE_CHANGE_DTLS table.

I am a convert from MS Expression Web to DW and loving it. I
am still learning the ropes however of this app.
I have figured out how to create HTML forms and used some
Spry in the process. I add a submit button and tested it. No errors
occurred so I figured I am fine so far, but how do I config the
form to email me the results of what my site visitors enter? I got
it to post to a another page, but that does not send the info to
me. So how do I do that part?
Thank you.does the hosting for this site have a control panel or
CPanel?
If yes- look in there for icons for cgi-library or script
library. Most
CPanel sites have "formmail clone" installed with a link to
instructions on
how to use it.
if the hosting can use PHP scripting, i suggest this script:
phpformmail
1)go to
http://http://developerkarma.com/projects
-->phpformmail
download it.
extract the ZIP file.
**More detailed instructions are in the docs folder.
**These shortcut instructions are for version 1.07 of the
phpformmail
script.
2) open formmail.php in dreamweaver
Make the following changes (in code view, turn line numbers
on)
2a)
line 4,
define('CHECK_REFERER', true);
change to:
define('CHECK_REFERER', false);
reason: too many people use a firewall or Norton security to
restrict this.
2b)
Line 43
$referers = array('www.example.com', 'example.com');
change to the domain name of your web site.
reason: this probably isn't needed since we just turned the
referrer
checking off. but change it anyway.
2c) *this is to hard-code the recipient address into
the php
file, where it is totally invisible *
Line 46
$recipient_array = array();
change to:
$recipient_array = array('me' =>
'[email protected]');
**of course, replace [email protected] with
the email address
you want to receive the form data. Also note the single quote
marks.
reason: this sets the email address the form results will be
sent to.
You can also make a list of possible recipient alias values-
see the readme
in the docs folder.
2d) give the script a default "From" address to use.
Go to line 41
Change:
define('FROM', null);
to:
define('FROM', 'Example Name <[email protected]>');
substituting your name and email address.
3) now do a File-->Save As and save this file to within
this Local Site
folder. save it as anythingyouwant.php
4) in dw's File Panel, find anythingyouwant.php and upload it
to the remote
site.
5) Now open your form html file in dreamweaver,
5a)click the mouse into the form area, and select the
<form> tag on the
lower left margin of the design window.
In the Property Inspector, it should now show the properties
of the <form>
tag. In the Property Inspector, to the right of the ACTION
line, click the
folder icon and browse to and select the anythingyouwant.php
file
you've saved to within this site.
5b) now click within the form area and go to dw
menu-->Insert-->Form
Objects-->Hidden Field
This inserts a hidden form field.
In the property inspector, change the NAME/ID of this field
to: recipient
And the VALUE of this field to: me
the code should look like:
<input name="recipient" type="hidden" id="recipient"
value="me">
This tells the script to use the "me" recipient_alias value
as the email
address to send the form to.
5c: Do you have a form field to collect the user's email
address?
If yes, if this field is named exactly "email" then the
script will use the
user's email as the reply to in the outgoing email
6) Save and upload the form page.
Try the form from the website.
Note also- If you have any form fields that can accept
multiple values, like
a set of checkboxes or a select list, they need to have a
name/ID that endes
in pipebrackets- such as my_form_field[] so the script
processes that
field as an array

Collection Data Form in invisible mode.
Hi,
We are using zcm 10.3 installed on SLES 11. Our clients are XP SP3. I have configured a collection data form with autofill and checked "Invisible mode for autofill only" In the autofill settings I have entered a environment variable. I have configured a Collection data form schedule to run "When a device is refreshed". The collection data form never pick up the environment variable value when running a refresh. When I right click on the ZenWorks notify icon and choose "Collection data form" the environment variable value configured in autofill is picked up.
Autofill worked well when refreshing a device in zcm 10.2.2.
Does anybody know if this is a known "bug"?

Is it possible using SQLite to collect data from an older SQL database?
Is it possible using SQLite to collect data from an older SQL database? Where can I find a possible answer. Thanks in advance.
There are 3rd-party tools (see comprehensive list at http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html) that provide extra pdf functionality on top of the pdf export from Crystal.
In the case of my Visual CUT software, you can use hidden formulas inside your Crystal report to generate form fields (pre-populated as well as empty) as part of the pdf export process.

Collection Data Form Invisible Mode for Autofill Only
I am trying to use the Collection Data Form to get information from the registry. The following entry worked for a little bit and then stopped working: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\LastLoggedOnUser . Is this syntax correct? If not, what is the correct way to enter the registry key information?

According to the docs that is the correct syntax, but you could also try HKLM instead of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to see if it makes any difference...
Have you verified on the workstation that the LastLoggedOnUser key is not empty? Since you say that this have worked but suddenly stopped working then could it be that you have enable Interactive Logono not display last user name in the GPO for your workstations?

Hi, I am using HP11 and iPlanet web server. When trying to upload files over HTTP using FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" that are bigger than a few Kilobytes i get a 408 error. (client timeout). It is as if the server has decided that the client has timed out during the file upload. The default setting is 30 seconds for AcceptTimeout in the magnus.conf file. This should be ample to get the file across, even increasing this to 2 minutes just produces the same error after 2 minutes. Any help appreciated. Apologies if this is not the correct forum for this, I couldn't see one for iPlanet and Web, many thanks, Kieran.
Hi,
You didnt mention which version of IWS. follow these steps.
(1)Goto Web Server Administration Server, select the server you want to manage.
(2)Select Preference >> Perfomance Tuning.
(3)set HTTP Persistent Connection Timeout to your choice (eg 180 sec for three minutes)
(4) Apply changes and restart the server.
*Setting the timeout to a lower value, however, may prevent the transfer of large files as timeout does not refer to the time that the connection has been idle. For example, if you are using a 2400 baud modem, and the request timeout is set to 180 seconds, then the maximum file size that can be transferred before the connection is closed is 432000 bits (2400 multiplied by 180)

Use Java to collect data from HTML
Hi Guys
I am doing a online stock trading project, the main part is to collect raw data from http://finance.yahoo.com User can retrieve the stock detail by inputting the right stock symbol, such as "AOL". I dont have too much problem in this part because yahoo provde a spreedsheet format to display the result. If you type the URL below, it can bring you a set of stock data separating by comma. So, I can use StringTokenizer(date, ",") to collect each data from yahoo into my system.
========================================================================
http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?f=sl1d1t1c1ohgv&e=.csv&s=AOL&
"AOL",15.57,"8/12/2003","4:01pm",+0.04,15.47,15.63,15.40,12097200
========================================================================
However beside this function, I also need to search Stock Symbol, because user may only know the company name. Although Yahoo finance also provide this function, with no spreedsheet format provided. So, if I type the URL below, it will only give me a set of result BUT in HTML format.
========================================================================
http://finance.yahoo.com/l?s=AOL&t=S&m=
========================================================================
So, can anyone tell me what is the best way to collect data from a HTML page? Or anyone know any good stock quoting sites which also provide spreedsheet format?
Thank you very much

Sounds fun.
So, can anyone tell me what is the best way to
to collect data from a HTML page? Or anyone know any
good stock quoting sites which also provide
spreedsheet format?I really don't know any other stock quote sites. But if you want to implement a search function for stock names, I would do it like this
1) Code the HTTP SUBMIT/POST to lookup the possible stock names
2) Use XSL to filter out the HTML path to the table with results, the layout is consistent, so there are no strange exceptions. You can check the DOM structure by using Mozilla's DOM inspector. Just write down the path to the TABLE element and select it, and transform it to CSV for example.
3) Reparse the CSV to fill some boxes
To possibly save some server load use a small fixed size in memory cache to store N requests based on some strategy.
The other part is actual a separate part of what you want to code and should be a separate class in which you can feed the stock name.
If the user types in a bad stock name, you can retrieve a list of possible names using the input as the company name.
