Creating a Flex CMS

I am looking to create a Flex CMS for managing a school site.
I have an .xml file that is connected to my flex image gallery. To
make it easier on the people that need to edit or add information
about the photos I am looking to create a CMS. I realize that this
would involve using other technologies such as PHP but if someone
would like to assist me on this project I would be greatful. If
there is a way to do this I would also like to expand this to edit
HTML files as well. Any ideas or suggestions would be great.
I was looking to Flex for this project because of the great
interface and possibities but it is not nessasary for me to use
this ( I could always go with a standard approach - HTML, PHP, etc.
Thanks

The project is a new extension to the school site for clubs
and organizations. I currently have a homepage and one club site
ready. The club site is for the art club hense the image gallery. I
do not want to be resoponsible for adding content for everyones
clubs and that is why i am looking towards CMS. I will have to
check about the permissions that can be given in regards to PHP nad
MySQL access as the server is shared for the entire school
district's websites. I will be trying to push access but in the
meantime I want to get started on the website.
Each club or organization will have its own login to give it
access to changing its own site. I do not want to give them any
access to the actual files on the server. In regards to the xml
file I will try to set it up in advance and not get them to edit it
as it will probably look intimidating with 100+ nodes.
I look forward to seeing what you have developed. I will
contact you via email with my contact information.
Thanks for the help,
Jon

  • Is it possible to create a flex field in advanced table

    Hi Sir,
    Good Evening,
    I created a flex field in an advanced table.i want flex field values from master table.
    whenever we click the flex field,we get the flex field values from the master table andthose values are stored in child table also.
    i want to get this type of result,
    How do u get.
    Please give me reply
    Thanks

    Power View does not have this capability. However, you can combine columns and do advanced calculations lie this in your Power Pivot Tabular model.

  • [svn] 762: -update the 3.0 branch to use build. properties to create the flex-sdk-description.xml

    Revision: 762
    Author: [email protected]
    Date: 2008-03-10 07:44:49 -0700 (Mon, 10 Mar 2008)
    Log Message:
    -update the 3.0 branch to use build.properties to create the flex-sdk-description.xml
    Modified Paths:
    flex/sdk/branches/3.0.x/build.properties

    Added Paths:
    flex/sdk/branches/3.0.x/collateral/en_US/flex-sdk-description.xml

    By the way, simply adding the quotes around the lexical names in the sql statement doesn't work. That causes the lexical references to be ignored as simple string values:
    SELECT
       '&FLEX_GL_BALANCING_APROMPT' alias_gl_balancing_aprompt
      ,'&FLEX_GL_ACCOUNT_LPROMPT'   alias_gl_account_lprompt
      ,'&ACCT_BAL_LPROMPT'          alias_acct_bal_lprompt
    FROM dualI turned on statement-level debugging via xdodebug.cfg and saw how it compiled the lexicals. By replicating the call to apps.fnd_flex_xml_publisher_apis.kff_segments_metadata that I found there, I was able to hack together a workaround for this issue.
    Please point me to a better way of doing this if possible, as I had to GRANT EXECUTE on this apps package to my custom code schema. Is there a better lexical/flexfields reference than the XML Publisher documentation?
    Here is the call I made in my before-report trigger:
    --set ACCT_BAL_LPROMPT flexfield segment metadata lexical
    begin
    apps.fnd_flex_xml_publisher_apis.kff_segments_metadata(
      'FLEX_ACCT_BAL_LPROMPT',
      'SQLGL',
      'GL#',
      101,
      'GL_BALANCING',
      'Y',
      'LEFT_PROMPT',
      c_FLEX_ACCT_BAL_LPROMPT
    end;

  • Creating a Flex Theme from a Skin made in Flash

    Hi all, here's what I'm trying to do in Flash Builder 4 Beta 2:
    I have the Flex Scope Skin used for creating UI for CS4 products from here:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite/
    I have the Skin Design Extensions and Flex Component Kit from here:
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=flex_skins
    The instructions on the skin page say to add the skin files to each Flex project which bloats the number of files in each project.  What I'd like to do is compile the Scope Skin down to a SWC that can be referenced by projects OR create a Flex Theme.
    I've tried compiling an SWC out of Flash CS4, this kind of works but I can't find a way of embedding the fonts in the SWC that are recognised by Flex.  I've also tried crating a Theme SWC from Flex with no success.
    Is there a tutorial out there showing how to create a Flex theme with embedded fonts and swf resources as well as CSS?   I have found some tutorials but the are all basic.
    TNKS!

    Hi,
    check out this option

    This profile option must be set to 11.5.9 at site level.
    changed this profile option to current version (eg - 11.5.10) at the application level and restart JDeveloper.

  • Issues adding swfs created in Flex to a Captivate project

    The company I work with, ePath Learning Inc. has an online authoring tool called eActivity that we use to publish different eLearning templates. This online tool is built completely in Flex and uses the Flex compiler to ouput a swf file that can be used in many different products and online courses. Because it's an AS3/Flex created swf, we've had to wait for Captivate 4 to be released to support the generated swf file, so now we are testing it's compatibility and have run into some issues. It appears that swf files from our online authoring tool do not work correctly in Captivate. Further testing resulted in any swf published using Flex do not work properly in Captivate. Attempts at adding a swf file complied with Flex result in a variety of different errors as well as a performance issue causing the control bar as well as all other aspects of the Captivate project to work incorrectly.
    I've attached 2 sample swf files, 1 built using our online authoring tool and 1 using Flex Builder 3. When added to a new blank project in Captivate 4 using AS3 settings we have the errors as explained above.

    Hi there
    I just uploaded a small video to Jing. See if it helps you resolve the issue.

  • Import widget created in Flex?

    Hi all, I was just wondering if you could direct me to resource (or tell me if its not even possible) that would show me how to create an interactive widget in Flex (rather than Flash). I've tried simply transfering the actionscript that in generated in the flash file for an interactive widget over to a Flex file, but the resultant swf is not recognized as a widget.
    Thanks

    Sorry I don't know of any resources to actually perform that but I don't see why it would not be possible. As long as the Flex widget implements the proper interface for Captivate, it should work. However, I would not necessarily do that as using the Flex framework will bloat you swf file. I have coded some applications in Flex and it will easily add a few hundreds KB to your file. If you can live with the increased size then there's no problems.

  • Create a flex 'design view'

    Hi
    is it possible to create a page using flex 3 which is similar to the design view in the flex builder.
    essentially what we are planning to do is that we want to provide the user an ability to design a page.
    Does flex provide the users the design view as a component that can be used in a page.

  • Create a Flex UI for WikiMedia site

    Hi guy,
    I just look at some example of what Flex can do and I really
    like to cool UI it provides.
    I am wondering, is possible to make a Flex UI to replace the
    HTML front end of Wiki Site. I mean building up a UI with Flex for
    a Wikimedia site? Is it something possible or is Flex only for
    application and not for website?
    thanks
    Alain

    Flex is a presentation tier technology. If your wiki site
    provides some sort of RPC data API, then sure, you can use Flex to
    create a front end.

  • Problem creating a Flex 4.5 mobile Scroller

    I have created a 'new' Scroller component by copying all the code from the spark Scroller into a new actionscript file, renaming it, updating import statements and adding any files I need to include to the local directory. I'm having to do this because I need to change something in a private method and basically I don't know any other way.
    Everything seem to work fine except a couple of lines in the ensureElementPositionIsVisible method.
    This one
        var delta:Point = layout.getScrollPositionDeltaToAnyElement(element, elementLocalBounds, entireElementVisible);
    and
         var eltBounds:Rectangle = layout.getChildElementBounds(element);
    I am getting these errors 'Call to a possibly undefined method getChildElementBounds', and 'Call to a possibly undefined method getScrollPositionDeltaToAnyElement'. There is a little bit of code before this that sets the layout variable to either a GroupBase layout object or SkinnableContainer layout object.
         if (viewport is GroupBase)
                         layout = GroupBase(viewport).layout;
         else if (viewport is SkinnableContainer)
                         layout = SkinnableContainer(viewport).layout;
    My hunch is that there is a problem with the viewport not being defined somehow, or possibly the skin. If anyone knows how I can fix this so that I can change the Scroller classes private methods, then I would be truly grateful.

    In the same folder as this mxml file create the folder spark/components and copy the file Scroller.as from the sdk into it. Also copy the spark/styles folder and the file core/version.as. It compiles with no error. Edit scroller.as and the change is seen in the compiled swf.
