IWeb needs simple MySQL integration!

iWeb could be a fantastic program if it had MySQL integration, especially for those of us Mac users who like building CMS type sites. Better yet, iWeb would be the #1 web tool if it could build templates for Joomla, Drupal, Wordpress, etc., from within the App.

Thanks guys for the "heads up." However, I am extremely familiar with php, apache, and hosts.
I guess my suggestion deserves more explanation.
If iWeb contained a "Tables" and "Fields" manager, something similar to Navicat's MySQL tool, within its code base, then iWeb could allow a CMS or CRM to be built right within the app that doesn't require 3rd party involvement. It would also spark some great "security" opportunities for webmasters using iWeb.
It would allow a user to build a user table, giving the designer more flexibility in "who can see what" on the iWeb site. It would certainly up the viability of iWeb's use by Mac Users because it would better support "automated dynamic content." By iWeb having the ability to connect directly with MySQL (which comes with OS X), iWeb could become the Mac users choice for simple CMS and CRM website development / prototyping.
I especially dislike the proprietary nature of iWeb's abilities, in that, I have to pay for an Apple Hosting account that is far too limited on features and offerings for its cost. iWeb needs work, and I think experienced webmaster input is important for Apple to better satisfy the needs / desires of its consumers.
Maybe that clarifies what I meant by this post a little better?

Logic needs a better integration for hardware sinthesizers like Emagic - SoundDiver was!

I work with a community of about 50 logic users in Germany and nearly all of them love to use some of the old hardware machines from Roland, Korg, Akai and so on.
In the past there was a program from Emagic called "SoundDiver". Sound Diver was a program who integrated all well known hardware synthesizers in to logic that a logic user was able to edit (with read, write, automation!!) the programs and sounds in SoundDiver and Logic.
SoundDiver was the bridge between Logic and the hardware synthesizers. Especially for the old hardware with midi function was SoundDiver the best program on the market to integrate your hardware in to logic.
The most important point was that SoundDiver did all this great work by saving time for us as Logic user.
Our Logic User community agrees that Logic Studio 10 needs a better integration for hardware Synthesizers and especially for the old ones. SoundDiver was the best feature for this.
Apple: Please integrate the Sound Diver in to Logic 10!!! You will see, all professional and semi professional users will love it and you will have a big benefit in comparison to Cubase and ProTools.
The current way to work with logic and hardware synthesizers needs to much time and it is not ideal.

Sound diver was really cool, but it's not working in modern OS. If Apple will try to add it's functionallity , it has to rewrite this soft completely. But even in this case they could not support a big variety of old hardware. I would be happy if I have a little bit more functions in external midi instrument track. I also tried to replace Sound Diver with MIDI Quest AU plugin, but it does not work well with my old Virus.

Need simple instructions on transfering photos from Samsung Gusto phone to computer.

Need simple instructions on transferring photos from Samsung Gusto phone to my PC.

smcolvin, happy to help with getting those pictures transferred. As the Samsung Gusto does not have the mass storage functionality, this requires a out of the box solution. You can send the pictures as a picture message and place your email address in the "to" field. Open your email inbox on your computer, open the messages and then download the images to the computer (usually right click and "save as").
Alternatively, you can send the pictures to the online album and access them there. To send to the online album from your phone, press the left soft key. Message>New Message>Picture message. At the "New Picture Msg" screen, press the Right Soft Key and add "To Online Album." Select "Send." On your computer launch your web browser and log into MyVerizon at verizonwireless.com and then go to vzwpix.com .

Need simple instructions to connect my piano to my mac using usb midi

I purchased a midi in/out usb connection for my Yamaha piano (clavinova clp120) and GB sees a midi device connected (in preferences) but I cant figure out how to use it...
I need simple step by step help.
Thanks!

ok, Let me get this correct...
Your piano is already hooked up to the mac via USB and Garage band sees it? correct?
Alright, now, when garageband starts it usually loads the profile for a grand piano or you can select "New Project" > "Piano". If everything goes well you should be able to select the "grand piano" profile and hit record, then you should be able to start playing , do you hear any sound??
If you want to use the LTP lessons then have your piano plugged in and start a lesson. As soon as it loads try hitting a key, do you hear anything??

New developer with spacial - need simple example

Dear All
i developing an application that need to store coordinates which represented with 3 floats. i need simple demo which illustrates me how can i insert such coordinate using Oracle Spatial and the how to select it. i also need little explanation of the structure of the select and insert queries
Thanks alot

Well, Ron, I think you will need to read a minimum in order to use oracle spatial. I admit that the Oracle docset can seem daunting, but I don't think you can use it without at least reading some of the Oracle Spatial Users Guide, available here (file://localhost/D:/Doc/Oracle/1020/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14255/toc.htm) in HTML and PDF.
I suggest reading at least chapters 1 (concepts) and 2 (data types) in this manual.

Simple viewer integration

Can anyone tell me how to integrate a simple viewer gallery into my iweb site through .mac?
thanks
s

Svendo,
So on my photo page, I started with a blank template. Then I drew a text box just big enough to accomodate my gallery viewer (908x522). I then typed some placeholder text "PHOTOGALLERY" and then published the page. Then I found the page.html file and opened it with my text editor and found the PHOTOGALLERY placeholder text. I replaced this text with the iframes code below...
<iframe src="http://homepage.mac.com/jwtseng/1/" width="908" height="522" scrolling="no" border="0" style="border:none;" frameborder="0"></iframe>
Save and that's it. So for your own gallery, you'll need to determine the dimensions and edit the width and height values. And obviously you'll need to edit your own URL depending on where you end up saving the folder. Just think of the iframes concept as a webpage within a webpage and it will become clearer.
The gallery that you see is composed with a free app called "Expose" It is wonderful and has a Mac gallery manager available. I like the AirtightInteractive templates as well (simpleviewer, postcard viewer, autoviewer). But I like the whole gallery in one idea...today. Haha...
Hopefully you have found to be helpful or even an answer to your questions.

Question - how do i check if the query's result.
Simple user authentication via database. Sorry but
im new to JavaFor the simplest authentication, I would use
SELECT count(*) FROM users WHERE username = '<user>' and password = '<password>'
To read through the resultset for this query:
if(rs.next() && rs.getInt(1) > 0) {
System.out.println("User validated");
} else {

Simple database integration

Hello!
I'm new to Dreamweaver 8 as of today. Been struggling along
with FrontPage for way too long!
What I need to do is include a 10,000 line Excel database
(auto parts) into our web site that a only few special clients can
search, but NOT SEE the entire DB. I'd like to have a search box
where they can enter a part number or possibly a simple
description, and then a results box showing only a yes/no
availability and price and perhaps the description. Actually,
availability is the only result necessary. They will not be
ordering directly from the site. We're just trying to cut down on
phone availability checks.
Can DW8 do this?
Or?
Thanks very much!

No, I don't have any of that knowledge, nor do I have the
desire or time to learn it.
I'm not being flippant here, it just isn't worth spending too
much time or money.
Is there s a service that can accomplish what we need for a
small fee?
Like I said, this is only going to be viewed by a couple/few
clients, so we are not looking to spend thousands on a MySQL type
solution. Also, once these parts are sold, they will not be
replaced, so the inventory will actually shrink over time.
Thanks.

HELP need simple search page

Hi. I need to build a search page of the database. I think it's a simple search. The "catalog" is set up in the MYSQL database structure into two tables :authors and books: which are relational via ID numbers. The idea is to enter a search term on the search page and come up with a list of results that look like catalog entries. Each catalog entry consists of book, author, picture, and description. The user needs to be able to enter any term, or partial term and come up with entries. How do I do this?
I'm in CS3.

Have a form with form action that goes to script.php on script.php create a recordset and filter entered value against database table field. Then add bindings onto the page to show the results of the filtered recordset. Nest the bindings in a repeat region to display results if there's more than one result available in the search query.

Help needed for MySQL 5 database DSN less connection with Oracle reports

Hi,
I am using Oracle Develper Suite and java (J2EE) for my application. I am using MySql 5 as database tool. I want to use Oracle reports of Oracle Develper suite. I have created some reports by first creating system DSN for MySql database and then connect Oracle reports to that DSN by "jdbc:odbc" connection string provided in Oracle Report developer wizard. This is working fine.
I want to generate reports without creating system DSN (DSN less) so that i can use my application on any computer without creating DSN for Oracle Reports. I am deploying my application on OC4j as "EAR" file.
Help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Regards.

Using an 8i client, you will need to configure the tnsnames.ora file with appropriate connection information if you are using local naming. If you are using host naming or something like an Oracle Names server to resolve TNS aliases, you can skip the tnsnames.ora configuration. A default installation of the Oracle client, though, will probably be using local naming.
If the tnsnames.ora file is configured, or you have configured an alternate way of resolving TNS aliases, you should be able to use the connection string
DRIVER={Oracle ODBC Driver};DBQ=<<TNS alias>>;UID=system;PWD=managerIf you wanted to move to the 10g client (the 10g Instant Client could be useful here), there are some streamlined naming methods that could be used instead of configuring the tnsnames.ora file.

I need simple advice as to how to transfer/store photos from my iPhone 4 to iCloud to free up memory on my phone.

Hi....I have 1400 odd photos on my iPhone 4 and am running out of memory so I bought extra storage (25GB) on iCloud which I have set up to use. However I'm not familiar with how iCloud works and I don't synch my iPhone with a computer but I want the comfort of knowing that when I transfer the photos to iCloud they are there and need to know how to access them again if/when I want to.
I have looked at the Photos & Camera section in General Settings but really have no idea what Camera Roll, Photo Library or Photo Stream refer to. I take photos as and when the mood strikes me, don't share them with anyone and only want to retain them for future reference as and when I feel like it.
Which leads me to my queries:
1. How do I transfer the photos to iCloud?
2. Can I open folders to seperate different batches of photos in iCloud?
2. When I have done this is it safe to delete the photos from my iPhone?
3. If so how do I delete them all in one go?
4. How do I access the photos again from iCloud?
Please keep the answers/ instructions simple/idiot proof as no doubt you will have surmised by now that the nature of my queries is indicative of my limited knowledge as to exactly what can be done with my iPhone!!!!
Doody

iCloud is not designed to "store" photos (as in long term storage). iCloud can be used to sync photos from one device to another (photo stream) and to store a backup of the camera roll. But that's pretty much it.
Camera roll is the group of all photos taken by the device (but not other photos synced to the device from another source). Your extra storage on icloud will do you no good. The recommended way of storing photos on a device is to sync them to a computer.
So, your questions..
1) You don't/can't
2) No, because of 1.
3) On a computer, deleting large groups of photos is relatively painless. not so on a device.
4) You can't access photos on iCloud because they can't be store in icloud. You can't view/access photos in a backup on icloud unless you restore a backup to a device.
Read this... import photos to your computer...

Serious design flaw in iWeb needs fixing fast

I have been designing websites with various types of software in the past. Always a wysiwyg environment has been amongst my favourites as it shows exactly what you are doing, how it looks and what it's going to be like for the viewer.
Now iWeb does a fairjob at that but it has one MAJOR issue and that's publishing.
I have tried publishing to MobileMe, I tried local and upping the contents via a different FTP program and I have tried uploading to FTP from within iWeb.
The issue that a lot of people are reporting and Apple is ( regretabbly ) not doing anything about is the problem with the settings on the website ( left panel of iWeb)
Normally you would want to save everything of a certain website under a site. iWeb does that, fine.
Yet when you publish your site to MobileMe or any other FTP location, it ALWAYS adds the friggin' SITENAME to the path.
Why can't I get rid of that nonsense ? I want my site looking like http://www.mysite.ext/index.html
NOT like http://www.mysite.ext/<sitename>/index.html
So, to me, it looks like Apple is adding a variable to the publishing path which should NOT be there.
Please Apple, fix this or tell us in which plist this stupid setting is set so we may be able to change that. It's ridiculous this way.

@Ethmoid
Yes I have read your reply and it's similar to many replies in the forum.
Users always get put off with the same nonsense band-aid sollution like " publish locally then upload via other ftp program"
Although I will grant you this works, what use is the whole FTP function in the software if you cannot use it as it is supposed to work ?
Some other things I would like to mention in regards to this bug ( yes it is still a bug in my book )
- Apple does not mention the a-typical behavior anywhere in the documentation
- Apple does not mention the Auto-Adding of the Website name in the Knowledge Base
- Hundreds of people have complained about this odd behavior of the program
What really ticked me off today was the following:
I have tried to contact Apple in various ways about this bug.
Sent in feedback various times, tried this forum ( no luck thusfar ) and even started a Fast Lane Incident. The result of that was that I was given the option that I would have to pay 49 Euro's before apple would even listen to the problem. I tried to tell them that it's a bug in their software which I already had paid for.
In The Netherlands it's set by law that any product ( no matter what ) which does not perform as expected has to be solved by the company that made the product. ( there is more to that but i'll leave it as is for now )
So, I am a paying customer who paid for his software which has a bug. I ask for a sollution and all I get is " You have to pay 49 Euro's per incident" . *** ???
Now you can call me a ranter as many times as you want but no matter how you put it, the behavior in iWeb is odd in relation to any other ftp enabled web publishing client. Pick any 100 different softwares for web publishing with ftp feature and i'll bet you 100 US $ that at least 99 of them upload in the folder you set in the program and they will not add any folders by themselves the way iWeb does.
This combined with the many, many similar posts about this oddity, you cannot keep it up to tell all these users they rant and just need to buy another piece of software to do just that what iWeb should be able to do.
As for the fix.
If people are really " happy" with this behavior of auto-adding a sitename, then at least let Apple give us a choice to either switch this behavior ON or OFF. It should be easier to do and fix then any of the other bugs they recently fixed.
I really hope you see it as it is, a faulty product...

Php mysql integration with workgroup manager

Hello,
I run a non-profit arts organization. We have active and inactive members that are tracked with a php mysql web app that I wrote. I was wondering how I could query the workgroup manager from php to make the inactive members not be able to login to our computers. Also, it would be great if we could just add new members into the php web app and then send that new member's info to the workgroup manager.
Is this possible?
Thanks
Alex

Yes, I have an OS X 10.4.3 server - which is also integrated in the AD. If i log on locally on the server with an account from the AD, then the workgroup manager works perfectly.
Guess my main problem is that i don't know where in the process things goes wrong.
- Is it on the client, that it is not able to sent the right requests
- Is it on the OS X Server, where something is misconfigured
- Is it security settings in the AD that prevents the server and client from getting the right information
I have the possibility on both the server and client to do ldap requests through the address book - this tells me that i do have some sort of connection. And that is also verified by actually being able to login with AD accounts.
Is there any logs i should pay special attention to? All the logs i can see through server admin doesn't contain usefull information. The logs on the client located in /var/log only tells me about some minor issues with mcxd (something about the uid being 1325883267 - which confuses me a bit - i thought uid's on unix was between 1 and 65535 :/ )
