Has anyone created an auction site in BC?

We have a client who wants to build a real estate site that allows online bidding for properties. I expect it would be based on the basic real estate web app, allowing punters to sumbit a bid, displaying the highest bid and notifiying users if they have been outbid. I'd like to have a look at anyone else who's done this using BC funtionality.
cheers

You can not properly build that on this platform. You can fudge lots of aspects of it but no. You need a dedicated system which likely will be heavily modified to meet the needs of the client to do this properly.

Has ANYONE created a web site from scratch with iweb 08 that is stable?

I have tried all the tricks i have been able to find to convert my old iweb 1.2 site to the new iweb08 software. I have tried deleting plist files, and changing the themes and re-saving. I am about to give up, and have two options
1. recreate the ENTIRE site from scratch. I am happy to do this, so long as there are people who have done it and their site domain files remain stable.
or
2. Go back to iweb 1.2 and save myself hassle.
Can anyone advise on this?
To apple : You have treated me like a sucker customer. I love you, but you have spat in my face with this terrible software. it destroys everything it touches. Shame on you for treating us all with disdain.

Hi damoyoungsf,
I have managed to recreate my website (www.vnlc.org is the domain name, www.studentgroups.ucla.edu/vnlc is the real address) and fixed the bugs as of yesterday, it took around 6 hours of fiddling but worth it for the new features. I used the watercolor theme, and you can visit the webpage to test its stability. The problems I encountered were:
1. Blog/Podcast pages didn't convert correctly, the yellow/blue band is missing and the picture frames were missing also, also some of the events had incorrect formatting.
a. Fix: You're going to have to recreate these pages, when a page has errors after a program update like this, its better to recreate the page again rather than keep stumbling with further little bugs that might pop up in the future.
2. Links to pages with titles that include the symbols : and - and foreign characters do not work.
a. I think this is a major area in which iweb08 digressed because I used to be able to use foreign and special characters in my links, but now I can't because it would not link appropriately.
Every other page seemed to work well, or had minor problem like incorrect font colors which can be remedied without recreating the whole page. I did not have the photo page problems that some other people had, my photo pages rendered perfectly and now has nice new features.
As a final word, iWeb'08 or rather the whole iLife'08 suite seems to be Beta status just like when Mac OS X first came out. Apple likes throwing at us these problematic new software and wait for the bugs to crop up to fix it. After I first got iWeb'08, I knew it would have major problems but I am hoping further updates would remedy our woes.

Has anyone created a NI-VXI driver for the Ardence RTX operating system?

Has anyone created a NI-VXI driver for the Ardence RTX operating system?
a VXI instrument through a PCI-VXI-8335 card (in the PC) talking to a PCI-VXI-8345 card (in the VXI chassis) via MXI-3, Has anyone created a PCI-VXI-8335 card driver for the Ardence RTX operating system?

Now i want develop driver on RTX,my hard platform is similiar(PCI8335+VXI8340+1418A),and after i read the PCI baseaddress,i find PCI8335 only has memory-map,so that means if i want to driver this board ,so i take following steps list below:
1.use Rtmapmemory() to map the baseaddress to virtual address
2.using memset() or memcpy() to driver the 1418A board
is this right?
if you can give me some hints,thanks
or you can contact me :[email protected]

Has anyone created a Visio-like VI app?

I'm interested in creating a Visio-like app, where I can pick from a predefined set of objects (square, circle, etc.) and place them on a palette (Picture control). I'd like to be able to use the mouse to select placed objects, either to move them, or to right click on them to look at / modify their properties.
Has anyone done something like this? I've created an app like this, but without any mouse interaction on the palette. The user positions and resizes the object through a cluster control. It works nicely, but using a mouse would be more natural. And more user-friendly, especially for those not used to LabView.
Bonus features that I'd like, but can't imagine that are feasible: to use resizing boxes (e.g. at the corners of a square, to resize the square), and a ghost outline of the object when dragging it accross the pane or resizing it.
I've played a bit with incorporating the mouse -- looking up which object is selected, drawing the ghost outline, adding the resizing boxes. But it seems that I'm trying to make LabView do something that the OS is probably better suited to do....?
The end goal is to be able to create a Visio-like screen made up of mostly-but-not-completely graphical objects and save its description in a proprietary format.
I've got LV8, though I'm more familiar with LV7.1. And I've been a proud user since LV3.0. If this can be done, I think I can do it. ... Help?
Thanks!
Tom

That was my method until someone posted the VI shown in the attachment (I cleaned it up a little, documented it and added an example).
If you have a series of points for your shape, then this should be a better method.
That *is* a nice VI.
But it's not better if you have a lot of objects. The InROI has to be called for each object, so the search time will grow with the number of objects. The offscreen buffer only doesn't have this problem. The InROI method will also be hard to use with lines. And with larger circles you have to use a lot of points, or you'll get incorrect hits or misses.
One benefit is that you are still able to select objects even if they are totally covered by other objects. Guess a requirement specification is needed to make a choise. Switching from one to the other method will be terrible.
Also, the picture control is just a string. If you dig into this string, you'll notice that you can make a buffer. In this buffer you can replace one single picture object. So you don't have to redraw all the entire picture. This way you can get a real performance boost. It's convenient to store object info in the same buffer.
It would seem to me that it would be better to have a buffer of the picture itself (the blue wire) which will depend on the z ordering (i.e. everything "under" the currently selected element will be the base picture and all the other stuff would be redrawn). I haven't done any real examining of the picture control VIs, but I would rather avoid manipulating the string myself if only for the reason that NI might (please?) change the implementation to something more efficient.
Well, the picture (blue wire) is a string with the length of the string as the first 2 bytes (perhaps 4, I'm not sure). So you can store each object's picture, and replace them one by one whenever you need to. Then, if you need the picture, remove all the sizes, concatenate the string, and put the total size before the string (then cast to picture).
Or you can remove the size, and store the string, then concatenate, etc. and attach the total size.
If NI changes the way it works, you only need to remake the "remove size.vi" and "concatenate.vi" (provided that concatenation is possible).
The principle of the picture control is a virtual machine. The virtual machine itself is not that slow (unless you compare the 3d stuff to serious 3d stuff). It is slow because the subvi's that build the string are slow. Even worse, you need to call them each time anything in the picture changes. It is also slow because each time you draw anything, the pen is set (even if it hasn't changed).
With the buffer you get a trade off. It will require more memory, but it can be much faster depending on the situation.
With the standard picture control vi's, you are forced to build slow programs...
Draw the ghost outline in a separate picture control. Make this picture control transparent, and set it to the same size and position as the "real" drawing. Don't forget to use the events of the top level picture control! This way, you don't have to redraw the entire picture when you move only one object.
That's an interesting suggestion.
Tom, if you do create something, it would be nice if you post it. Maybe we can improve it and make it into a general template.

Has anyone created a PICTURE BOOK in iBooks Author?

I am coming up against an issue that I wish I had known about before investing my time in iBooks Author and that is the the apparant inability to create our picture book and not give away the plot of the entire book on the second page in the TOC that shows all the pictures (our pages) for our book. My question is, has anyone been able to eliminate the TOC with the row of pictures at the bottom of the TOC for your picture book and still get your book published? If so, can you tell me your title so I can see it? Thanks!

We are building a video ebook, using text, filmed video clips of the characters, still pics and audio and want to have it released in this IBA format according to what we think is proper as far as presentation is, to our audience. The problem of incorrect formatting for a children's picture book in IBA is very much there. Part of this issue is creative control and the other part is unnecessarily revealing the visual storyline on the first page of the book. Thanks for your input though.
Again, has anyone produced a children's picturebook throuh IBA that has made it through the vetting process, and is for sale in the iBookstore? Would love to see it and how you formatted it and, I just might be a customer!

Has anyone created a 400Mbps firewire connection to a PC?

Has anyone been able to successfully create a 400Mbps firewire connection (as opposed to 100Mbps) between a Mac and a PC? I've been trying to connect my G4 1.5Mhz Powerbook (bought last May) to a HP Pavillion d4100e (AMD dual core processor) running the latest Windows XP Home Edition. The Powerbook's firewire bus says it can go up to 400Mbps. The 6ft firewire cable is supposed to deliver 400Mbps. The PC's card says it handles 400Mbps. It shows 400Mbps when the firewire cable is plugged into the PC, but not into the Powerbook. Yet, the moment the cable is also plugged into the Mac, the rate goes to 100Mbps. I've looked all over the web for an explanation but have come up w/ nothing.

Has anyone created a file format converter from "universal file format" uff, to another format?

I need to find or create a file converter from the different Universal formats to another ASCII format. Does anyone know where I can get formating information about UFFs? Has anyone done this? Thanks in advance.

The UFF file info can be found at http://www.sdrl.uc.edu/uff/uff.html
The Sound and Vibration Toolkit 5.0 and the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite 5.0 offers LabVIEW VIs to read and write UFF58 files.

Has Anyone Created a Successful Pre-Order Page?

I've submitted my second book, and still, I'm unable to get the pre-order function to work. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding it?
I assume that if I allow pre-orders when I create my package in iTunes Producer, that after I upload all my assets, etc., and they successfully import, that a pre-order page for that book should appear on iTunes.
However, for both of my books, this has not happened. They still are pending approval, but there has never been any sort of pre-order page on iTunes in the bookstore.
Has anyone successfully created a pre-order for one of their books titles? I've tried contacting Apple but only get a generic response that doesn't really explain anything. ; (

There is a related thread here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3811505?start=0&tstart=0
You can set a pre-order start date for each territory in iTunes Producer. According to the iTunes Producer 2.6 User Guide, the date must be earlier than the sales start date. If you don't want to offer pre-order, you are supposed to leave that date blank.
The user guide says that, if you set a pre-order date, the publication will not be shown in the store until that date. It does not say that, if you set that date, the book will be shown starting on that date (or any date before it becomes available, for that matter).
The user guide also says the following:
Important: Pre-orders require minimal manual production work by iTunes. When you deliver a book that is
available for pre-order, contact your iTunes Technical Account Manager. Pre-orders must conform to the
following specifications:
All assets (EPUB, iBooks format, cover art, and screenshot files) are due up front.
You can only create pre-orders with the first, initial delivery of the book package.
You cannot make any changes to the pre-order once you deliver a book package to the iBookstore with
a Pre-Order Start Date.
Each territory where you are sending a pre-order (each territory where you defined a pre-order start
date) must be priced at a valid price tier.
Do not send pre-order start dates for territory products that have been marked not cleared for sale. Only
deliver book packages with pre-order start dates assigned for territory products that are cleared for sale.
Given the current track record in getting books into the store, I would guess that pre-order is something that would only happen for blockbuster titles from large publishers, where actually a significant volume of pre-orders can be expected. For the pre-order to go through into the store, someone still has to review the book, which isn't worth doing for something that sells a few dozen copies a month.

Has anyone published their iWeb site to their old Homepage folder?

Hi,
I'd like to avoid changing URLs, and was thinking I could just publish the iWeb site to the folder my homepage site is in on my iDisk. Would that work? Has anyone done that before? Any issues I should know about?
Thanks for your help!
Lora

Lora. It can be done but not much is to be gained and many features will not work the same as if published to a "folder" and then uploaded to your iDisk.
Do a bit of "homework" and learn some of the rules about iWeb, Homepage and your iDisk.
Changing your URL's is the easy part. Getting all the external parts to work is, well, work.
Plenty of ways to integrate older pages (via external links) into your new iWeb pages.
The brave can edit the html code to make their own iWeb and Homepage Sites:

Has anyone created a site in BC where you can download coupons?

Hi everyone
As part of a site we are creating, our client wants to have a directory of offers, you can search by postcode to find offers near you, then print out coupons with unique ID numbers . Like Shopadocket. http://www.shopadocket.com.au/
Anyone done something like this or have any tips?

HI Greg
Sorry the coupon part of our site is still in development so I can't show you a working version.
But the prototype worked well.
I created a web app directory of all the coupons, cross referenced with the web app of businesses using Data Source.
Then in the detail page for the coupons web app item I have a pre-populating web form called "Claim Coupon". For our site the form fields are hidden, only the submit button is visible, and is called "Claim Coupon".
When the person presses "Claim Coupon" (submit) it creates a case and sends them an autoresponder email. The case number detailed in the email is the unique ID that they need to quote when redeeming the coupon. We will be styling this into a nice html email but the basic unstyled one is below.
There is also a member area where the person can log in to see their case history:
And then they can click through to each case for the full details of their web form submission.
The site is www.dailyorganic.com.au.
The coupons should be up and running in the next couple of months.

Has anyone created a COLORING BOOK in iBooks Author?

I've seen several coloring books on the iBook store and would like to know if anyone has created one using iBooks Author?
If so, which and how?
If not but have a coloring book, how?
How does one make the interactive colore pallette to work from? Is it a widget and if so where can I get one?
I first thought that all the coloring books were App's until I found actual coloring books outside of the apps.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

iAd Producer 4.0 has a drawing widget as one of its templates. You could start with that and put a transparent image in the layer stack to get a coloring book effect.

Has anyone created a lottery number generator within Labview & if so can I have a copy please?

I would like to study the program of a lottery number generator for Labview if anyone has created or knows where I can get this.

Wow, my vi is close to yours, but I have a different problem: I set mine up to generate a door prize-winning "powerball," but my issue is how can I get the array to show each number in a different cell in the array, rather than in every cell at the same time. I think I need an array constant somewhere, but with a while loop in the for loop, I can't seem to come up with the desired operation.
Here's a copy of my vi and a pic of the "spaghetti"
Also, I'm running on my version 9 student edition.
Thanks for any help.

Has anyone created a dynamic two or three level tree?

Hi -
If anyone has created a dynamic two or three level tree, can you please explain and/or show a code example of how you did it? The 'dynamic tree tutorial' doesn't show the child node being created dynamically, but graphically.
I can build the first level fine, but how does the child node get associated with the parent node in the next level?
Thanks in advance.

Here's a snippet that might help. I'm sure there are more elegant ways to code it but this seems to work!
Good luck,
Keith
//1st Loop - executed once per first level of tree
for (int i = 0; i <= days; i++) {
j = i+1;
TreeNode newFirstNode = new TreeNode();
newFirstNode.setId("day" + j);
newFirstNode.setText("First " + j );
itineraryNodeChildren.add(newFirstNode);
java.util.List firstNodeChildren = newFirstNode.getChildren();
// Second Loop executed once per Second level within the First loop
for (int k=0; k<rk; k++) {
secondNumber ++;
TreeNode newSecondNode = new TreeNode();
newSecondNode.setText(secondNodeText);
firstNodeChildren.add(newSecondNode);

Has anyone created a device driver for the DG101 Programmable Delay Generator?

I am wondering if anyone has written a LabVIEW driver for the DG101 Programmable Delay Generator third party device?

I have looked at the instrument driver network and there is nothing listed there. The board comes with the source code for the device as well as a gui to run under windows but I am working on the PXI-8196 embedded controller running a RTOS so the .dll that comes with the board is not compatible. I have been on the phone and email with NI over the last 3-4 weeks trying to figure out how to import the .dll, how to wrap the .dll, and how to create a new .dll. I spoke with someone yesterday and they told me that I would have to write a register level interface driver to work with the board and that it is very difficult for even the most experienced person. They suggested I outsource it but I was just curious, seeing that this board belongs to a very small community of programmable delay generators, that someone may have written a driver that is available.
Thanks,
Tracy L.
