How to do something - Spry Data Set?

Hopefully David Powers is online this afternoon.
I would like to design a web page so that one record, and one record only, can be pulled from a XML file. Everything is in place but I am totally confused on how to do what I want to do using Spry.
The page in question can be viewed here. By clicking on the "Image Info" button in the navigation bar it opens a sub-window in the browser window displaying another HTML file. You can view the other HTML file here. This sub-file uses a Spry Tabbed Panel for ease of display for the end-user. Each tab is populated with data strings from a XML file. This XML file contains metadata for a collection of TIF images.
At present I am copying and pasting the data strings from the XML file into the second (overflow) file. As the records grow this will become extremely cumbersome and fraught with possible miscues. I would like the second file to call for a particular record from the XML file and display it. If the file 001-ovrflw.html is being opened then populate the placeholders with the appropriate record's information (001.tif) from the XML file.
Can someone show me just how to accomplish this using a Spry data set? And I am totally confused with Spry so please, be gentle. <grin> All I need is one sample using my set of data and then I am off and running. I have to do this for, at present, some 4,000 images. Each XML file will only contain about 800 records but there will be a XML file for each year.

If a database is what I need then so be it. My hosting service allows me 25 databases and I have XAMPP and MySql already installed on my computer.
So then just how in tarnation do I go about setting up a database and hosting it to my service for use? And then how do I set up my files to access this database and extract that one record each file needs? I'm also assuming that I will have to somehow convert my XML file to a database.
The real shame is that the XML file has a header portion that is the same for each and every record. This information would have to be copied into each record in the database really ballooning the size — size equates to slower database access. And then it would take several days to convert the XML file by hand.
As I hope you can see; I am a total neophyte when it comes to databases. At least I have read about Spry data sets and was hoping that would serve my needs. And yeah, I don't want to purchase another book. I have enough of those laying around without the time to read them all. Of course such a book would dictate that I read the whole thing to learn how to change a light bulb. Kind of like a degree in mechanical engineering to flush a toilet.

How to use multiple Spry Data Sets in one page

I'm using two spry data sets in one page. When I add the first spry data set to my page everything runs OK, When I add the second spry data set to the page the first data set stops working. Does anyone know what the problem is?
This is how I have my data sets listed.
var ds1 = new Spry.Data.HTMLDataSet("/accounts/tower/list.php", "list");
var ds2 = new Spry.Data.HTMLDataSet("/accounts/tower/numvisits.php", "chart");
Thanks, let me know if you need more information.

Good News!
There is nothing wrong with what you have shown.
Bad news!
The problem could be in that part that you have not shown.

My spry data set isn't working

However, are you aware that Adobe stopped developing Spry nearly two years ago? See this announcement.

How to link within a spry data set?

Hi everybody,
I am working with DW CS4 and want to know how to insert a link to another html site within the Spry data set. All I am archieving at the moment is to write the hyperlink-addy as plain text on my website.
I have this kind of structure in my data set:
<example>
    <screenshot>Pics/examples/SRB.jpg</screenshot>
    <name>Sounddesign Radio SRB</name>
    <sort>Music production</sort>
    <link> ??? </link>
</example>
Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi,
thanks for taking the time to haul through the Code I produced!
Although the website isn't launched yet, you can have a look at the site on this online "test-site": http://www.media-powerplant.de/media-powerplant-referenzen.html (on the left side you'll find the Spry-master region and on the left-hand side there is the Detail-region which should include the hyperlink)
Here is the HTML-Code for the site: (the green text is the part with the embedded Spry data set that works and the red line is the part which is not working)

Hi,
In your html page, use the following notation:
<a href="http://{weblink}" title="{weblink}" target="_blank">{weblink}</a>
I hope this helps.

How do you set up Paged View with Spry Data Sets

Hope someone can help. I have constructed a Spry data set using a html table and want to use the paged view javascript to limit the amount of rows displayed on one page at a time to 10 then forcing a new page. Have found the java script file in the spry 1.6 download and attached it to the spry assets folder and have followed the instructions found at the Adobe development center   http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/pager/index.html        with no luck. Have attached files to show what I have done. If someone could look at this and point out my error or suggest a better way I would be grateful. I am not a code warrior so simple instructions would be so helpful. Many thanks in advance.
Here is the code

Your region needs to refer to the pageview, not the dataset. Your paged view var is already looking at/pulling in the ds.
I would change the following code:
<div spry:detailregion="ds1" class="DetailContainer">
     <div class="DetailColumn">{Name}</div>
    <div class="DetailColumn">{Product}</div>
    <div class="DetailColumn">{Contact}</div>
    <div class="DetailColumn">{Phone}</div>
</div>
to read the following:
<div spry:region="pv1">
<table>
<tr spry:repeat="pv1">
<td>{Name}</td>
<td>{Product}</td>
<td>{Contact}</td>
<td>{Phone}</td>
</tr>
</table>

Spry Data Set - Possible to limit number of records show

Hi,
I am totally new to Spry in Dreamweaver. I tried searching the forums for an answer but I could not find anything on how to limit the number of records shown.
For example - I have 100 rows of information in my table. When I do the Spry Data Set and use the Master/Detail page I only want 20 records to show. Otherwise the page looks very long and odd. Is it possible to just show the first 20 records and the ability to scroll or link the next 20 and so on?
If you have a link to a tutorial or more information that would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Kathy

Using Spry Data Set Variable in Recordset

I have a page that contains a spry data set and a recordset. The recordset uses one of the variables from the spry data set to filter its results. how do I apply the spry data set variable to the recordset?

I believe passing this the variable through the URL requires you to update the page, right?
Yes
Is there anyway to grab the spry data set variable direct and apply it to your recordset filter?
The SpryDataSet variable can only be used on the clientside (JavaScript) so you will have to get your recordset using JS.
A page refresh can be set in motion if you add {useCache: false, loadInterval: 500} to your dataset to then set an observer to your dataset to invoke the page refreash function.

Using alternate rows with Spry Data Set

Can anyone provide more information on how to implement alternate row colors with a Spry Data Set? What I have done is:
Create spry data set using HTML page as the data set
The html page that displays the data set is: <div spry:region="equipment">
In the default.css page that is linked, I added the info in note #1 below
When the page displays, no colors appear. Tried changing the colors and still no luck. Is there another step to do?
Note #1:
within the default.css, the following are declared:
#equipment odd {
background-color: #CCC;
#equipment even {
background-color: “#F2F2F2;
Note #2:
Here is a link to see the actual pages referenced above.
Any ideas? Getting frustrated!! Thanks in advance for any advice.

You are going to kick yourself, but, you haven't assigned any page element the ID #equipment. The region is called that but the table or the DIV does not have an idea and your selector matches nothing...

Need a little help with Slimbox (Lightbox clone) and Spry data sets

Hello guys!
First of all let me say that I'm not a programmer in any way,
shape or form, and somehow I managed to build me a dynamic
thumbnail gallery that reads data from an XML file and displays it
on my webpage using a Spry data set and a slider widget (yay!)
This is of course only thanks to the many great examples
provided by the Adobe Spry team, and me being stubborn enough to
keep at it, even though I don't really understand what I'm doing :D
But I got to this point where I have basically everything
working, except that I can't get the Slimbox (Lightbox clone)
script to work with the Spry-generated thumbnail gallery.
From what I could understand from other threads on this
forum, is that I need to add an observer somewhere, only that I'm
not sure where and how (those threads are pretty old and the
examples aren't available anymore).
I'm sure you guys know what I'm talking about, anyway, here's
what I got so far:
http://www.riotdesign.com.ar/misc/gallery/test1.html
I have the thumbnail gallery populated from the external XML
file, a basic page navigation using the Sliding Panels widget, and
the Slimbox script which works only on the static test image.
Okay I guess that's it for now, sorry for the long post and
of course any help with this will be GREATLY appreciated :)
Thanks & bye!

Kev,
Where exactly does the .evalScripts = true; text need to go?
Does it go in the href call?
<a href="ManageNotes.asp" title="Manage Notes" onClick="this.blur();
Modalbox.show(this.href, {title: 'Manage Notes', width: 575}); return false;">View your notes.</a>
Thanks for any assistance.

Spry data set help

Just installed DW CS4 and have been playing around with creating a dynamic table using Spry data sets. I was able to get it working & looking OK. I have two questions.
In the past a client would send me an Excel spreadsheet that I normally would export to CSV and then import into a static HTML table. Now I want to use the CSV file & create a dynamic table but the Spry widget for CS4 does not have the option of using a CSV file only HTML & XHTML. Spry is supposed to be able to use a CSV file. How do I do it?
Second question is speed. The dymanic table takes a very long time to come up (lots of rows). Is it slow because it is looking for an external HTML table? If I have to use an HTML table for my data should it be on the same page as the Spry table to get the best speed?
Thanks.

Here's the example.. view the source code: CSV Data Set sample
The Data Set Wizard doesn't give you the handy little import tool which makes it a bit more tricky & advanced set up is required.
If you want to use the wizard, the easiest way is to save your CSV as a XML file. It doesn't doa great job at it though.
I noticed that Spry preRelease will allow a lot of stuff, it just doesn't always make it easy. You'll need to use the SpryCSVDataSet.js and hand code most everything in, I'm affraid.
That's about the best answer I can get for you, unless someone else has a better option. Give it a whirl and us me know if it works for you.

I think it is a bit too late you're 'finally experimenting' with Spry.
Spry has been deprecated from Adobe and is now been made Open Source on GIT - meaning Adobe will no longer officially support Spry tools. The next major release of DW will most probably get rid of Spry, for good.
Read here: http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2012/08/update-on-adobe-spry-framework-availability.htm l
jQuery is the way ahead. You may want to switch to jQuery - since anyway you've mentioned you're just 'experimenting' at the moment. That way, you're not spending time on something that is no longer being supported/ developed by their developers.

Excel table to update spry data set (?)

Hello again!
In my last posted I asked for a scrolling text script.. I have decided to use spry data set to update shipping info - the problem I am not running into is - I need my corker(s) to be able to update this too - I of course understand rows and cell in html etc but they dont. MY goal is you have somehow a way for them to update an excel file click export or whatever and when the webpage I have created refreshs - the new data is there. I have tried do experiement with a macro in excel that exports to an xml file but , man... yikes! I need help. Anyone point me in the right direction? I have no problems of course updating this info for them but if Im gone or somehting .. I need an easy way for my coworkers to update this from excel or the like
Thanks
Rob

thanks V
Im not sure that is going to work... I need to have multiple lines in one row
example - in the 3rd line there - 122 and 123:
I tried a sample csv file too and it said it couldnt retrieve spry:repeat - or something -
thanks, Ill keep trying witht he CSV file stuff but so far not working

Spry Data Sets and CFCs?

So, I've got the Spry Data Set working reading an XML file:
http://brad.melendy.com/projects/ajax/spry/test1.cfm
Which seems to work, the ID column sorts on click, all is
well. The actual
file it is reading is located here:
http://brad.melendy.com/projects/webservice/employee.xml
Then, I have it set to read the same data from my CFC in this
version here:
http://brad.melendy.com/projects/ajax/spry/test2.cfm
This isn't working? But I can see the data when I open the
CFC directly in
my browser like this:
http://brad.melendy.com/projects/flex/DataTest4/employees.cfc?method=FindAll
So finally, here is my code on test2.cfm that isn't working?

<script src="../../../SpryAssets/xpath.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../../../SpryAssets/SpryData.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
</head>
<body>
<div spry:region="ds1">
<table>
<tr>
<th spry:sort="id">Id</th>
<th>FirstName</th>
<th>LastName</th>
<th>OfficePhone</th>
</tr>
<tr spry:repeat="ds1" spry:setrow="ds1">
<td>{id}</td>
<td>{firstName}</td>
<td>{lastName}</td>
<td>{officePhone}</td>
</tr>
</table>

The two files test1.cfm and test2.cfm are the same except for
the source of
the XMLDataSet which is the static XML document in test1.cfm
and the full
URL to the CFC in test2.cfm.
Thanks for any tips, this is exactly how it is suppose to
work according to
the livedocs but it isn't.

I figured this out, my problem was that although IE was
displaying identical
XML documents from my CFC and employee.xml, the output
produced by the CFC
was not a true xml document. I'm not sure exactly what was
making it fail
to be seen as an xml document, but after updating the code to
use <cfxml>
the document was created properly and then Spry could see the
data and
display it.
