How do I execute "wget" to archive whole sites for offline browsing

I ran across this post:
<If you find some good online sites, you can use "wget" to archive the whole site to your machine for offline browsing. I use the following:
<alias getsite='wget -k -r -N --random-wait -np'
I would like to try this offline browsing suggestionbut I don't understand how to implement this.
I posted this to the orriginal sender but haven't gotten a response, being impatient...Could anyone give me a step by step idiot proof intructional version of this?

That sure sounds like my post. I was going to respond with my alias:
alias getsite='wget -k -r -N --random-wait -np'
Which looks a whole lot like yours.
Yes. This is definitely in the Terminal. It is located in /Applications/Utilities.
The alias command above is a line in my .bash_profile file in my home directory. It cans all sorts of similar commands to do cool stuff in the terminal. Once you add the above line to your .bash_profile file, open a new terminal window, and type getsite http://www.apple.com and sit back and let it work.
The other day I was travelling and had a very slow connection. I had to adjust the command like this ' getsite --reject=bz2,mov,gz,dmg,swf http://osxbook.com/book/bonus/' so that is wouldn't try to download huge files.
You don't want to use curl. The curl program is more low-level and is more suited to software development and testing. If you are just starting to learn the terminal, use wget for now. Later, when you learn about standard output redirection, you can try curl.
I always do 'cd ~/Sites' before using wget. Then, I can just go to 'http://mymachine.local/~jdaniel/www.apple.com' to view archived sites.

Online or archived update site for 12.1.1?

Hi!
Any chance there will be online or archived update site for 12.1.1?

Since the time frame for the OEPE 12.1.1 beta is fairly short, less than two months, we are only planning on making the zipped installers available. We plan to run additional beta programs throughout 2012 and will consider making either an update site or update site archives available.
Is your standard install method for OEPE from the OTN Update Site?

How to enable multiple check-out and check-in for offline editing (sharepoint 2010)

I have a SharePoint site where I am using check-in check out feature for one of 'Project' document library.
By default SharePoint supports single document to be checkout for offline editing (when i click on checkout, SP ask for 'Use local draft option' for offline editing), if I select that check box, it take a local copy for offline editing in my 'SharePoint
Draft' folder.
but when I try to check-out multiple files from 'Project' document library, it does not show any form for confirmation, as shown above (use 'Local draft option') and files get checked out on server it self, but I didn't find any local copy in 'SharePoint
Draft' folder. mean sharepoint does not support multiple file check-out feature for offline editing.
Please suggest if we can check out multiple files for offline editing in sharepoint 2010.
Thanks

Sagar, Thanks for reply, but none of the link is useful.
These all links talk about the check-in check-out feature, but my issue is that, when I do select multiple files for checkout Draft’s dialog
box does not appear and offline copy of files is does not created. how to fix that issue.

How to handle a large number of query parameters for a Browse screen

I need to implement an advanced search functionality in a browse screen for a large table. The table has 80+ columns and therefore will have a large number of possible query parameters. The screen will be built on a modeled query with all
of the parameters marked as optional. Given the large number of parameters, I am thinking that it would be better to use a separate screen to receive the parameter input from the user, rather than a Popup. Is it possible for example to have a search
button on the browse screen (screen a) open a new screen (screen b) that contains all of the search parameters, have the user enter the parameters they want, then click a button to send all of the parameters back to screen a where the query is executed and
the search results are returned to the table control? This would effectively make screen b an advanced modal window for screen a. In addition, if the user were to execute the query, then want to change a parameter, they would need to be able to
re-open screen b and have all of their original parameters still set. How would you implement this, or otherwise deal with a large number of optional query parameters in the html client? My initial thinking is to store all of the parameters in
an object and use beforeShown/afterClosed to pass them between the screens, but I'm not quite sure how to make that work. TIA

Wow Josh, thanks. I have a lot of reading to do. What I ultimately plan to do with this (my other posts relate to this too), is have a separate screen for advanced filtering that also allows the user to save their queries if desired.
There is an excellent way to get at all of the query information in the Query_Executed() method. I just put an extra Boolean parameter in the query called "SaveQuery" and when true, the Query_Executed event triggers an entry into a table with
the query name, user name, and parameter value pairs that the user entered. Upon revisiting the screen, I want the user to be able to select from their saved queries and load all the screen parameters (screen properties) from their selected query.
I almost have it working. It may be as easy as marking all of the screen properties that are query parameters as screen parameters (not required), then passing them in from the saved query data (filtered by username, queryname, and selected
item). I'll post an update once I get it. Probably will have some more questions as I go through it. Thanks again!

HOW TO INCLUDE a LITTLE LOGO of your site in the browser bar

All the website are having their logo appearing in the browser bar at the left hand side. I would like to incorporate a little logo to my website ( www.buscapartamentosbogota.com).Does anyone know how?

How can I make a "Youtube" style video gallery for offline, '.air' use?

I work for a language company and we've put together a set of videos for use in computers, not online. Currently we're using Apple's Keynote to present our videos to to the student. This has the advantage of allowing us to put videos in a sequential order, with absolutely no work in the development department, and most importantly was easy for any student to control and navigate.
Things have now changed.
Keynote can no longer hold the size of our videos and we are constantly adding and changing videos all the time. Now that CS5 is out, I would like to build a stand alone flash application for our system modeled after the same look and functionality of youtube.
Key features would be:
• Main video player that links to our resident video files
• Something that generates and displays a title for the current video
• A text box below the main video player for notes and instructions
• a side bar of thumbnails for all related videos, with titles displayed
Future features would be an easy way for us to change videos in and out of the library (by "uploading" and "downloading" using a form for the videos, although not to the net, but again, on the resident computer).
It looks like CS5 would make this possible. My plan is to make a youtube-like site using flash catalyst. I think I can do it myself since the first version only needs basic elements and design, but I know I'm going to run into some problems because I'm not sure the limitations of catalyst for this style of interactive video gallery.
What I'm looking for is someone to just quickly guide, tell, or yell me in the right direction, and I'm really keen (hell-bent?) on trying it out using Flash Catalyst... is this the way?
Keeping in mind that my first draft only has to be a simple working version of the system, and I can play with the rest later, is any of what I said possible using flash catalyst?
Thanks in advance to whoever can help me out!

I doubt MU can do this. It's pretty limited in scope & I don't think it supports server-side code which you would need to parse feeds. But feel free to post your question in the MU forum. Maybe somebody there has a workaround.

How to create MUSE file from existing MUSE site?

Hi-
A customer has a site that was created with MUSE and she wants some edits made to it.
I have installed MUSE and can access the server via FTP. I've downloaded the site's html files and assets, but these are useless in MUSE.
How do I create or get the whole site's MUSE file from the server so I can make the edits and put back on her server?
Thanks for any guidance here.

Hello,
You would need the .muse file (source file of website). And you can get it only from the person who created it.
It must b saved on their local machine. This file is not uploaded on the server via FTP. And you cannot use the .html and other output files as the changes need to be made in that .muse file.
Regards,
Sachin

How to save downloaded files from safari for offline use?

Need help how to save downloaded PDF or images from Safari for offline use. On Mac or PC, we "save as" the files. How do you do it on safari on iPhone?

You can't detach email attachments as separate files, though you can view supported formats as attachments. If you're viewing webmail with Safari, the attachments aren't saved on the iPhone.
Apple hasn't made any announcements about new feature for the iPhone and rarely does. The other iPhone users in this user-to-user forum have no access to unannounced Apple plans, and speculation about them is prohibited by the forum Terms of Use.
If you want to make a suggestion to Apple, post it on the iPhone Feedback page:

How to Best Optimize Flash site for performance (not SEO)

I am a newbie to Flash design. I have build this site for my client www.888acolyte.com
I watched a bunch of YouTube Videos on how to stracture a site and then pulled together a lot of features from different learning resources.
I loved Flash for its animation capabilities and used a lot of time line tweening in my site layout. My background has a moving blurry colorful spots animation, my pages come out and assemble themselves as animations, transitions and rollover done as animations.
All of it done via Flash's time line tweening.
As the end result site is stattering in performance rather significantly. I am not sure if it is because of the animations I have employed or because of something else?
I used JPG instead of PNGs as they take a lesser size. I used an 80 quality in them out of Photoshop.
Every JPG is scaled to 75% of its actual size as I expect the site to be bigger on some bigger screens. I set it up to "Allow Full screen"
Flash Tab Settings:
In the export options :
JPG Quality = 80
No Sound
SWF Settings:
Checked "Compress Movie"
Checked "Include Hidden Layers"
Checked "Include XMP Metada"
UnChecked "Export SWC"
HTML Tab Settings:
Dimensions: 100%
Quality: High
I looked up some resources for "how to optimise a flash site" and seems that the best one around would be from 2009: http://www.netmagazine.com/tutorials/optimise-flash-movies
There is also this "magic button" "Save and Compact", which did not seem to have much effect on the final size of an .swf file.
I hope to receive a feedback on how to properly stracture and optimize a Flash site for the best performance.
If to go into details is too complicated perhaps someone can point me to a good learning resource on the topic?

If you're just needing a flash player, have you tried the JWPlayer from Longtail Video? That's what I'm using to view flash video on my site.

Need details on how to make custom ABAP report archive enabled

Hi All,
We are working in our project to make custom reports as archive enabled so that they can read archived data.
Need some information on the below queries.
1.Is there any function module to read selected data from archive file? For example i don't want to read the whole BKPF table data from archive file instead want to get belnr and bukrs only.
2. What are the perfromance measure which can be taken while making an existing program archive enabled
3. Important archiving tables which can help for the above.
4. When i use the function module "Archive_open_for_read' then system displays a pop up to select the archive files based on the archive object.
Considering that all the reports are run in background how do i make sure that in background run all the archive files are selected and processed.
Thanks in advance for your valuable suggestions...
Regards/Ajay

Hi Ajay,
1. You have to create a separate field catelogus and AIS according to your requirement with the required fields you want . Because the standard structures and field catelogues contains many fields from all tables. So before doing the read operation you have to deactivate the standard AIS and activate your newly created AIS .
2. Can you give some more details for this question to be answered.
3. The important archiving tables used are ARCH_IDX,ARCH_RPRG,ARCH_DEF.
4. While scheduling the Read process in batch mode , it will give you three criterias to be entered.
     . Spool Parameters
     (ii). Start date
     (iii). Archive selection of files.
    Unless you enter values for any one of these options , You cannot execute the batch job.
Hope this would help you.
Regards - Swarna.

I ignore your statements fully. I have a joke here.
There is one fools' gang in a city and they want to prove that they are not fools. One of them says " If we can find the most intelligent man in the city, then we can no more be called fools." Then on one fine morning, one of the fools sets out on a search. He goes to a taxi-driver and asks him to take him to the most intelligent man in the city. Taking advantage, the taxi fellow roams around the entire city for the whole day and end of the day brings him to the same spot where he met him in the morning.
Taxi driver says, "Sir! I've not seen anyone who is more intelligent than me in this whole city. To prove this, I ask you a question and you answer me. If you can't answer me, then I'm the most intelligent in the city." Even the fool agrees on this and the Taxi driver continues saying, "We are four in our house. My mother, my wife, my son and who is the fourth one?". The fool couldn't answer that and the taxi driver says "The fourth one is me". the fool accepts his ignorance and sets off from the place to their fools-community gathering.
In the gathering, this folls explains other fools about his achievement and says that the taxi-driver is the most intelligent in the city. When other persons insist on how he had come that conclusion, he asks the same question to his community as says, "We are four in our house. My mother, my wife, my son and who is the fourth one?". The other fools fail to answer and ask for the answer excitedly. This fools replies, "The taxi driver".
In the same way as the fool, if I give direct answer to the question, the OP doesn't know the logic behind the answer and then just blindly remembers the answer rather than learning. That is the reason I insisted on doing some search before giving a solution.
Have a nice day ahead.
And yeah! Neither the number of posts not you can judge my skills. Rest of the community knows.
Cheers
