How complicated is this?

I stumbled upon this website
Click Here and this has been
something that I have been wondering about for a long time. If you
go to the forum page, you will see that the forum is "attached" to
the actual website. Is this some CSS code thing (I'm fairly new at
this so I apologize) or is this some crazy complicated thing that I
will probably never understand? Any help on this issue would be
awesome and I apologize if this is in the wrong section.

Fairly complicated and pretty simple, but it really depends
on what you mean
by "Attached".
This web site has a link to its forum pages, and the forum is
styled to
match the web site. A forum is simply web pages like any
other (although
dynamic and attached to a database that runs it) This
particular forum uses
.ASPX pages to attach to its data files, others may use PHP.
I run a couple
of forums, and I choose to open them in new windows so they
are separate
from the main site. It's simply a matter of preference.
The "connection" is not complicated at all. Creating forum
software is
beyond the scope of most of our abilities (there are a few
here who could do
it in their sleep) but the rest choose to use existing third
party software
to run their forums.
There is a great free package at www.PHPBB.com You'll need to
have SQL
available on your server to run it.

Help a newby - How complicated is this baby?

I've been working with iMovie08 and I'm not happy with the results of what I've produced. So I just picked up a copy of FInal Cut Express 4 at the Mac store today. I came home, installed the software and (boing), this is a tough bugger. So I went online and ordered Lisa Brenneis, book FCE4 Visual Quick Start Guide. I've used Visual Quick Start Guides with other programs and they're usually pretty easy.
So here's my question. Will a guide like this help a middle aged guy with limited patience dive into this software and become successful? Or should I spend $100 (half the price of the program) to take the FCE4 training at the Mac store?
I need to get a good grasp of the software ASAP. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Rick ..... please accept my apologies for taking your thread off-topic (in middle-age the mind tends to wander).
To make up for it I have found this Basic Tutorial to get you started.
It was posted last April by Da Nam and I am taking the liberty of copying it here without his permission!
I hope you find it of some use ..........................
Da Nam: Absolute basic lesson I composed a while back for someone starting out with FCP so, deep breath,
"Leesten very carefully, I vill say zees only vonce!" * (Franglais accent|)
* 'Allo, 'Allo - old UK sitcom - I’m sure Ian R. Brown remembers! - apologies to any French speakers!
1) Set scratch disk -
i.e specify where your captured media and other files will be stored.
In the Final Cut Pro menu, go 'system settings' and select the 'scratch disks' tab. Click 'set' and set your scratch disk to your attatched external firewire hard drive (you do know it's not recommended to capture to your system drive, don't you?)
e.g '(external hard drive name) - users - documents - final cut pro documents'.
(If you don't have or choose not to use an external FW HD, the scratch disk will be set to '100GB (or however much space you have available) - Macintosh HD - users - documents - final cut pro documents.)
2) Choose easy set up
A quick way of choosing an err.... easy set up.
From the Final Cut Pro menu, choose ‘Easy Setup’ and choose ‘DV-NTSC’ (if that’s what you’re working with)
3) Go ‘file’ – ‘save as’. Name your project and choose where to save the project file.
This should be on your system drive (either documents/movies or wherever you prefer). The project file should be backed up frequently – it’s the brain of your project but as it contains no media – just pointers or references – it is small in size so back it up to a removable USB flash drive.
4) To transfer video from your camcorder to computer (called capturing) connect your camcorder to your Mac via a firewire cable and put it into ‘playback’ or ‘VCR’ mode. (This should be done before launching FCP.
Captured clips are filed into ‘bins’ in the ‘browser’ window. In anything than the smallest of projects, you will want to have a number of different bins for organizational purposes – e.g scene 1/scene 2 or location X / location Y or whatever you prefer.
To achieve this go ‘file’ – ‘new bin’ – a ‘bin 1’ icon will appear in the browser – name this, then select it (by clicking on it) and go ‘file’ – ‘set logging bin’ – a small clapperboard will appear next to the bin signifying that this is the bin to which you are capturing your clips.
Go ‘file’ – ‘Log and Capture’ – The ‘Log and Capture’ window opens and click on the ‘clip settings tab’ and set your ‘capture’ and ‘audio format’ to ‘audio and video’ and ‘stereo’ respectively (or whatever you choose).
In the ‘Logging’ tab, it’s important to name your ‘reel’ accurately to reflect the name of your source tape.
Then using the transport controls in the log and capture window to control your video camera, click the play icon to view the video.
Press the ‘i’ key to set the ‘in’ point of a clip and ‘the ‘o’ key to set the out point. Then click the ‘log clip’ button and fill in some info as required.
Repeat the last paragraph until you’ve got as many clips into the specified bin as you require.
At this moment, the clips will be ‘off-line’ (signified by a red strip thro’ the clips in the browser. To digitize these clips and place them on your hard drive, click the ‘batch’ button and in the resulting dialogue, choose ‘all items in logging bin’ or ‘off-line’ or ‘selected clip’ – whatever you want to digitize. Assuming you’ve left enough ‘pre-roll’ / ‘post roll’ at the beginning / end of the tape and you’ve got no timecode breaks in the tape, you should be able to relax and wait till the capture is complete.
After clicking OK or continue or whatever prompt you are given next, the files will be connected (the red bars magically disappearing) so hit save project and then either create a new logging bin and continue to log or close the log and capture window to start editing.
5) To start editing, double click a clip in the browser to load it into the viewer window, where you’ll set in and out points (to trim your clips prior to placing in the timeline), view the effects of filters/effects you might apply to the clips and change their properties.
With the clip loaded into the browser, click the ‘i’ and ‘o’ keys to set in and out points i.e where you want the clip to start and finish and then drag the clip from the viewer onto the timeline. Drag the playhead back and forth and use the transport controls to scrub through the clip and choose your in and out points. Hitting the ‘j’, ‘k’ and ‘l’ keys will play the clip back and forth at varying speeds depending upon how many times you press the keys.
To the top right of the timeline are 2 small boxes. Hover the cursor above each in turn and you’ll see one says ‘Linked selection’ and the other says ‘snapping’.
Toggle these on and off to select and deselect either option. Snapping enabled will accurately ‘butt’ up clips next to each other without a gap. Linked selection toggled off allows you to unlink the audio from the video.
The canvas window is where you can watch the results on the timeline.
To add an effect from the effects tab in the browser to a clip, drag an effect onto the clip in the timeline, double clip the click to load it into the viewer and adjust the values in the ‘filters’ tab in the viewer, monitoring the result in the canvas.
It’s recommended to monitor the editing process via some form of external monitor attatched to your Mac via the A/V output of your videocamera/dedicated deck to at the very least a domestic portable TV, if not a broadcast monitor. This will help with colour correction and ‘title safe’ areas for TV playback.
To output your finished project either use the ‘file’ – ‘print to video’ option and record back to tape in your camcorder or create a Quicktime movie (‘file’ – ‘export’ – quicktime movie’ (leave the ‘make movie self contained’ checkbox unchecked) to use in iDVD/DVD Studio Pro or use ‘Compressor’ to give you more compression options before authoring in DVDSP.
As I said, this is a beginners guide to get you going – there are many different and preferred ways of achieving this. That’s just the way I work so get a good book or 2 and work your way through the manuals.

Starting From Scratch -- How Complicated is This Going To Be?

I am starting from scratch with iChat (and with any video chatting for that matter).
By next week I have to either figure it out and make a video call or find a local set up I can use or fly ot the meeting which I'd really rather not do!
Looking at this forum I see lots of people with problems sharing huge complex error messages. These errors make me wonder if getting going will be too complicated.
What do I need to do? Are there resources / hints / tips / traps / ... people can suggest?
I have a G5 iMac without the built in camera but we do have an old cheap logitech webcam (or I could buy a better camera if needed). And I guess the iMac has a built in mic.
I'm running Tiger 10.4.11 and I believe my iChat is version 3.1.9
My internet connection is a high speed DSL
The call I have to make will just be between two points -- if I'm set up with iChat what do they need to do on their end. They have a professional set up.
At our end we would be three people -- will it be silly the three of us huddled around one computer?
With my first quick look it seems that one either needs to be a .mac or an AOL member -- is that right or are there other options?
If I'm starting from scratch is it worth the trouble to use iChat? Is this the excuse to upgrade to Leopard? Or should I forget iChat and try Skype?
Bla Bla Bla I can go on but I think you get the drift.
Can I do this? Will it work? What is critical? Should I bother?
Thanks
James

Hi,
Start at Ryan's Pages
My Version
The Built-in camera an Mic work.
It is better if the background is uncomplicated and that you are better lit from the front than the Background is (Setting the Screen to something light can also help with this)
You System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming is almost certainly going to need to be changed to 1.5Mpbs.
If you change this whilst iChat is Open Restart iChat to see the new speed.
Depending on your modem and any router you have they may need to have ports opened as iChat uses ports above the ones that are open by default (And allow Web Browsers and Mail to work) much like an On-line Game.
There are test accounts and real people willing to test with
iChat can Video chat to other iChat users whether they have a camera or not.
Some people can have success with Video Chats to AIM on a PC.
Names
You can use the AIM Buddy list with either a AIM or @mac name
There is also a Jabber List which you can use a Jabber ID or a GoogleMail/Google Talk ID with
If you are connecting to PCs then Looking into MeBeam is a better option at present.
Uses a Web Browser and Flash to allow use of your Camera and Mic.
As far as the number of people around one camera goes it may pay to use two or more cameras as this creates a Drop down in iChat in the Preferences > Video section where one person could switch between the cameras.
Alternatively if this is iChat to iChat then up to 4 computers could be connected in the chat (providing you have the Bandwidth at one end of the connection as it will count and 4 chats)
The Critical bit is understanding your LAN
iChat does not like it when it can see two or more Subnets (or Parallels or being wired and wireless at the same time)
A Company LAN is not likely to use two DHCP servers but it is a common mistake on home LANs as web browsing and Mail still work due to the way the ports are opened.
The Logs you see posted are seen in the Pop up at the time of a failed chat if you open it and they are stored in You Home Folder/Library/Logs/iChatConnectionErrors
They can be somewhat interpreted and point you in the right direction at times.
On the whole people keep posting all of the log but the bit below where it says +Binary Images+ is rarely useful and does not need to be posted.
I hope this helps.
Summary.
Get name.
Test to Test accounts.
Test with real people
Post back any info and about Modem, Router and LAN set up.
+NOTE. With Tiger/iChat 3 you may possibly have issues with an ISP blocking port 5060 for use with their Own VoIP service+
Ask again.

How complicated is it to implement Robohelp Server for multiple authors?

I am presently the lone techical writer in my company and I use Robohelp HTML V8 to generate WebHelp for our software. The RH software has been upgraded from an original V5 Robohelp full license, to a V7 upgrade and then a V8 upgrade.
I am investigating the use of Robohelp Server to open the possibility of adding another author, and would like to know how complicated it is. Do we still need to buy two seat licenses for Robohelp V9 as well as Robohelp Server V9, or are they included with the Server license? Also, are there any concerns for upgrading V8 project to V9?
If this information is already covered somewhere in the forums, please feel free to point me in that direction. I have not been able to find it myself. Thanks in advance!

Hi Sheryl
Indeed what you likely want is some form of source control. And certainly, splitting the project up and making different folks "captain of their own ship", is one way to roll.
But it sounds like you may have either misunderstood or had the RoboSource control misconfigured. With any source control system, the way it usually works is by storing all the content on the server in the source control database. But for each client connecting to the database, you establish what is called a "Working Folder". And that is usually on each local PC. When you check files out, they are copied to the working folder. So you work locally, but the application handles copying them back and forth to and from the server as you work. That way, you shouldn't be seeing performance issues.
Cheers... Rick

Advice on how to make this look up?

Hello everyone.
I was wondering if anyone can give me advice on how to do this to make it the last complex.
I thought up some complex solutions that will work but seem messy in some ways.
I need to create a look up, I'm parsing a file and transforming it based on its field name and field value. If a certain field name and field value is found, I need to create specific subfields. An example is:
say I read in a file and I come across
A class named interface
with a data field DisplayStatus and field type: INTEGER INIT(132)
DisplayStatus INTEGER INIT(132)
Then I need to create a file that looks like this:
DisplayStatus INTEGER INIT(132);
OP 'interface'.'DisplayStatus'
HAS_SUBFIELD NOTIFY;
OP 'interface'.'DisplayStatus'
HAS_SUBFIELD TIMESTAMP;
OP 'interface'.'DisplayStatus'
HAS_SUBFIELD CHANGE;
OP 'interface'..'DisplayStatus'.CHANGE
SUBFIELD_HAS_VALUE (METHODSPEC) (DUIFCRDC) ;
OP 'interface'.'DisplayStatus'
On the other hand, if I run across a field name:
CommandIndicator CHARVAR;
Then I need to create the following in a file:
CommandIndicator CHARVAR;
OP 'interface'.'CommandIndicator'
HAS_SUBFIELD NOTIFY;
So you can see, based on a specific field name, and data type, they have unique data types.
My solution was going to store a text file that contained all the field names, data types and subfields, and just create a map, so based on the field name, it will look up the value which wil be the subfields, but you can see the sub fields can either be 1 line long, or it can be multiple lines long, thats where I'm running into issues.
What type of data structure would I use? a Map<String, List<String>> ? or is that making it more complicated than it ahs to be?

To make sure I understood you correctly:
You have a file like
class classname
fieldname1 DATATYPE1 constraint
fieldname2 DATATYPE2 constraintyou want
OP 'classname'.'fieldname1'.some optional string
some line defined by DATATYPE1
...How would you store "some optional string" in a Map<String, List<String>>?
Do you just replace a special char sequence with 'interface'..'DisplayStatus'?
If so, why not just store the lines in one String including the line breaks, making the list dispensable?
Regarding XML:
I guess he meant that if you had both your source files in xml, you could do what you want via XSL transformation.
But you'll have to google for that yourself. It has been a while since I worked with that.

When updating to itune 10.5 I get this error message ,older version of bonjour can not be removed, and older version of apple mobile support cannot be removed, any one know how to fix this.

1) The older version of Bonjour can not be removed. Contact your technical support group.
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

Aggregating table - how to solve this with ADF Faces

Hello.
I am trying to solve something that would typically be really simple. However, now i' using ADF faces which is new to me and i'm stuck.
I want to show a table of rows with aggregated numbers (department in example below) and then "open up" any row by clicking on it to display the numbers that make up the aggregate (the guys in the helpdesk department in the example below).
Something like this:
DEPARTMENT SALARIES
+Sales                  1.234.567
+Warehouse         3.425.553
-Helpdesk 655.000
Joe 155.000
Jill 300.001
Burt 199.999
+Personnel           546.225
+Management     9.646.383
And to make things more complicated, some of the aggregate rows in my real life example don't have any underlying rows. They just have the total. Can anyone give me hint about how to do this with an ADF Faces-control? I need to show management this can be solved quick and simple with ADF Faces, so i can convince them that it is the way we should be working in the future.
Edited by: GoodCoffee on Jun 2, 2009 4:15 AM. Trying to indent the three rows under "Helpdesk"

Hi,
if you use ADF BC as the business Service then you can create a transient attribute (one that does not ave a database column ) and compute the total. Using JDeveloper 11g, you can use a Groovy expression. The below example calculates the Overall Salary paid by an department. The transient attribute is defined on the Department Entity Object
XML View
<Attribute
    Name="SumSalary"
    ColumnName="SUMSALARY"
    SQLType="NUMERIC"
    Type="java.lang.Long"
    ColumnType="NUMBER"
    IsQueriable="false"
    IsPersistent="false">
    <TransientExpression><![CDATA[Employees1.sum("Salary")]]></TransientExpression>
</Attribute>The Employees1.sum("Salary") string is the Groovy expression that you need to add for the attribute. You select the created transient attribute in the EO editor and press the pencil icon. Then you select "Expression" as the value type and add the string.

I locked myself out of my ipod touch for 60 mins then actually typed the wrong password in again. Now it is telling me to "connect to itunes". I am unsure how to do this. I am unable to use my ipod at all now. Please help.

Hi,
Due to my brother locking me out of my ipod touch I had to wait an hour to log in again. Unfortunately when I did this, I, again put in the wrong password twice more, each time locking me out for a further 60 minutes. On my 3rd attempt to log in the wrong password was entered again. This time though instead of logging me out for another 60mins it now tells me to "connect to itunes" but I have no idea how to do this and I am now unable to use my ipod. Please help.

I'm not that familiar with how FaceTime works. I know how to set It up but I don't use it. I just know that you can't activate in the UAE. I believe that you can activate in any country that permits it's use. Whether you will need a new ID or not, I can't confirm.
You can Google this and get all sorts of articles on workarounds. Apparently if you set up a VPN you can use it in the UAE. Here is one article that I found.

My new iPhone 4S can't connect to iTunes, App Store or iBooks via Wi-Fi. Works with 3G network. How to fix this?

My new iPhone 4S (week old) can't connect to iTunes, App Store or iBooks via Wi-Fi (and some other apps e.g. Hollister – but most of the other apps like Safari or ebay work fine). There is no problem with those apps loading via 3G network. When I turn off the wi-fi, it runs over 3G and i can access App store without any problem. When i turn off the 3G network and turn the Wi-Fi on, those apps like App Store won't work, other apps work fine. When i turn on both Wi-Fi and 3G, the App store (and so on) is also not working, other apps are.
I also found out that when the Wi-fi is on and I sign out my apple ID, the App store starts working! But when I log in again, it will imediatelly stop working. I've tried logging in with others apple IDs, still with the same result. There is no problem with my apple ID account, because it works on my iPad, even via Wi-Fi.
When i first set up my iPhone, there were no complications using App store ia Wi-fi with exactly the same account. I don't know if it has anything to do with it, but this problem started when i logged in with my UK account and then wanted to log back in with my Czech account.
I tried turning it off, hard reset and deleting my iPhone several time (even without back up). Nothing worked since then.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
I would really appreciate ANY help. This porblem is driving me crazy!

I am also having the same issue. Please help!

How complicated is this?
