Tried pulling it to the link box but id soent work... any ideas??

Thanks for you reply David,
since I posted I've found the the Spry documentation for
Dreamweaver 9, and
the info at
http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/9.0/help.html?content=WS48C07A61-5107-48d0-AC6 2-D96B7A008F01.html,
seems to suggest that inserting a spry DynamicTable is a
multi step process,
so the Live Object may still be useful in other servermodels,
but I'll focus
my efforts on duplicating the existing Spry integration for
the PHAkt
servermodel.

Dw cs5.5 + Phonegap + spry dataset xml and images links broken

Hi all,
I'm building an app using DW CS5.5 and Phonegap.
This is what I've done:
created pages using the starter template (local)
I created a php page that run a query on a mysql database and output an xml file
I created a spry dataset using the php (see 2) file as data file
It works locally and on-line on my website.
But if I package an app using the android sdk from dw CS5.5 I have problems: all images are all broken. It seems that the link to image is not correct.
In fact, all images are not using absolute path (http://www.mysite.com/images/...) but are set this way: /images/....
So, my question is: have I to specify all images sources using absolute paths to make it work when packaged?
TIA for any reply
tony

Hi Gramps,
I just solved the problem with image paths (I made all src paths absolute).
There is only one problem left: I opened another discussion: http://goo.gl/ysNDH
But here the link you (correctly) need to trobleshoot the problem): http://www.camar.it/newsxml
It should work on desktop browsers but it fails when I pack the app for android and install it on an android smartphone: I get "error loading page" when clicking on any details link (the button label is: DETTAGLI) on the news page.

Can I link to specific items in a Spry dataset?

I have a website for a community festival. I'm using a spry dataset for the festival events http://www.horizonfest.co.uk/programme/events.html . Visitors click on an event in the left hand column and it appears on the right.
The festival programme is on this page: http://www.horizonfest.co.uk/programme/sitemap.html . If you scroll down to for example the evening event on 16 July, it will take you to the events page (first link above). My clients would like it to open the event for 16 July on the events page (and similarly for any event). At the moment visitors have to scroll down and open the event themselves.
I have tried putting an anchor in the 16 July data item. I am not surprised it doesn't work because the anchor is effectively on a different page.
So, is there any way of doing this? I'll be pleased if the answer is definitively 'no'. I'll be delighted if there is a way of doing this. If there isn't it may be something to look at in the future.
I subscribe to creative cloud.
Thank you
Chris Sissons

I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you other than to say it's a grim future for Spry. Adobe abandoned the framework late last year with no plans for future development with it.

Spry dataset is not working properly in IE8, Help me plz...

I am a new user of dreamweaver CS5. I have designed some pages which are using Spry Dataset. It is working perfect in Firefox and IE 7 but it was not working at all in IE 8. Ben asked me to paste the following into the <HEAD> section
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" />
and after doing that it was working properly. But today I tested my site again and I came to know that it is only showing the Master Table, when we click on any master Picture of Spry Dataset it is not showing the details.
Here is the link of my site
http://dsdforu.com/WomensKNewArrivalCollection.htmlhttp://www.dsdforu.com/WomensKSDWCollection.html
I was trying to solve it by myself but I can't. Can any one tell me what am I doing wrong? or what would be the solution.
Thanks for your time.
Suboohi

Hi Suboohi,
I think the problem may be the pictures themselves. They do not seem to be loading quickly which gives the impression that they are not showing, especially when you have a slow connection.
You might look at optomising the pictures and preloading the images to allow your site to work properly.
I hope this helps.

Slimbox not working with Spry Dataset

Hi there,
I'm trying to populate a page with Spry Dataset and use Slimbox2 to show a set of 4 images when a thumbnail is clicked.
The original webpage WITHOUT Spry Dataset is here:
http://shadowmuseum.com/portfolio/p-web.html
Currently it works with just slimbox, but as soon as I add a Spry Dataset, the large images won't load anymore. When a thumbnail is clicked on, it opens the 1st large image of the set in a new page, completely removing the lightbox effect.
I've scouted the internet for solutions; it's been suggested that slimbox doesn't work because spry doesn't have time to load the content first. But I'm not savvy with javascript at all, so have no idea how to work around it....
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
P.S. Below is the HTML code for the page with both spry & slimbox:

You are not re-initializing the lightbox library code after Spry have generated the markup.
You can use the Spry region observer onPostUpdate to get notified of region re-generation and recall the initialization code of the lightbox.

Using Multiple Spry datasets? - regarding Regions: DetailContainer/DetailRegion

Hi Spry experts:
I've been battling a good battle: Spry datasets and mobile app development. I'm making headway, but as is true in life, there are problems. I've professor googled for several days related to the current issue without success. I'm throwing in the towel and asking for help.
I have a jquery mobile project I am developing in dreamweaver cs 5.5. I created a Spry HTML dataset to populate 3 lists on separate pages. Each list page is populated by a single html file that contains 3 tables with different ids.
Each table has 3 rows (name, image, desc). Each list is populated using the "name" field from each table. The lists part is all working just fine.
However, when a list item is selected (clicked), it is supposed to take the user to another page (details). There are three details pages--one for each list. These pages are for the item details. Each details page uses the same basic code. Only one page works. If I switch the location of the detail pages in DW, the page that is closest to the list pages is the one that works. I know that I am doing something that is pretty plain to someone who knows Spry, but I'm lost as to what to do next. I've tried multiple fixes and read many Spry documents. A HUGE thanks in advance to anyone who knows the answer. If you need more information, please let me know.
The expected behavior is that whatever list item is clicked the item should jump to the details page and load the data.
Here is the code for the details pages:



<div data-role="page" id="details_list1"
data-add-back-btn="true" data-theme="c">
<div data-role="header">
<h1>Details List 1</h1>
</div>
<div data-role="content">
<h2><span class="DetailContainer">
<span spry:detailregion="dsList1">{dsList1::name}</span></span></h2>
<p class="DetailColumn" align="center">
<span class="DetailContainer">
<span spry:detailregion="dsList1"
class="DetailContainer">{dsList1::image}</span></span></p>
<p class="DetailColumn"><span class="DetailContainer">
<span spry:detailregion="dsList1" class="DetailContainer">
{dsList1::desc}</span></span></p>
<span class="DetailContainer">
<span spry:detailregion="dsList1"
class="DetailContainer"><br />
</span></span><br>
<br>
</div>



<div data-role="page" id="description_list2" data-add-back-btn="true" data-theme="e">
<div data-role="header">
<h1>List 2 Details</h1>
</div>
<div data-role="content">
<h2><span class="DetailContainer">
<span spry:detailregion="dsList2">
{dsList2::sign}</span></span></h2>
<p class="DetailColumn" align="center">
<span class="DetailContainer">
<span spry:detailregion="dsList2" class="DetailContainer">
{dsList2::image}</span></span></p>
<p class="DetailColumn"><span class="DetailContainer">
<span spry:detailregion="dsList2" class="DetailContainer">
{dsList2::desc}</span></span></p>
<span class="DetailContainer"><span spry:detailregion="dsList2" class="DetailContainer"><br />
</span></span><br>
<br>
</div>



<div data-role="page" id="description_list3" data-add-back-btn="true" data-theme="e">
<div data-role="header">
<h1>List 3 Details</h1>
</div>
<div data-role="content">
<h2><span class="DetailContainer">
<span spry:detailregion="dsList3">
{dsList3::sign}</span></span></h2>
<p class="DetailColumn" align="center">
<span class="DetailContainer">
<span spry:detailregion="dsList3" class="DetailContainer">
{dsList3::image}</span></span></p>
<p class="DetailColumn"><span class="DetailContainer">
<span spry:detailregion="dsList3" class="DetailContainer">

Spry Dataset loading question

I have a general question to any of the experts using the
Spry dataset. I created a test page that works beautifully, and
want to use it as a portfolio presentation on my website. It
automatically created two pages – the dataset, and it’s
data counterpart. The “data” page is a long scrolling
tabled page with a link/content/description column – the
“content” column cells each contain a fairly large
image that displays on the main dataset page in a
“window” as each item is selected.
My question is this – when the dataset calls/displays a
cell from the data page, is it only loading the image that’s
being called, or does it need to load all of the images on the data
page (even though they aren’t displayed until selected)? I
originally assumed they were being called individually, but when I
set up a similar page to display my flv and swf animations in, the
dataset worked - but when the first animation was displayed I could
hear the audio of all of the other animations that were on the
original data page at the same time. This leads me to believe that
there is a definite download/time issue on a page that has several
fairly weighty images/animations...
This could be a HUGE shot in the foot if a viewer is browsing
on a slower connection. My current site uses flash with externally
linked images and works perfectly:
http://www.jgigandet.com/.
Each image loads only when they are called (but it’s a hassle
to make updates to the portfolio)… is there a way to only
load each image as it’s called using the spry menu?
Thanks to anyone who has any insight or advice,
Jesse

I'm not feelin the love - is there another place we can ask
Adobe experts questions about their software? -
I just want to know how the spry dataset works, and if it's a
good choice for what I'm trying to do. I'm not looking to critique
or demean the technology - for the most part it works awesome. I
just need some clear paramerters of how it works, and if loading a
long list of large images will crash and burn on a slow
connection...? Does anyone have any other ways of contacting Adobe
support directly with questions such as these?
Thanks - this is my last post of this question to bubble it
back to the top... promise...

Thickbox/jquery kills my spry dataset

I've been working with a spry dataset on a project that I've
recently added Thickbox to. Once I've added the 2 required js
script files to the header, the dataset stopped displaying any
data.I found a detailed thread about this very problem in the
forums, but all the combinations of adding an observer to my spry
dataset haven't helped at all. Here is the code of the latest
attempt - anyone see where I went wrong?

The main reason can be that Thickbox is triggered before the
dataset is
fully loaded:
You can try this:
1.- Open thickbox.js, Copy the content include in the
function attached to
"$(document).ready" (lines 14 to 16):
tb_init('a.thickbox, area.thickbox, input.thickbox');//pass
where to apply
thickbox
imgLoader = new Image();// preload image
imgLoader.src = tb_pathToImage;
2.- Comment the whole function, because we'll trigger it
using Spry
3.- Now, go to the main document where you defined the
observer:
This is your current code:
<script>
function myRegionCallback(notificationState, notifier, data)
if (notificationType == "onPreUpdate")
alert(regionID + " is starting an update!");
else if (notificationType == "onPostUpdate")
alert(regionID + " is done updating!");
</script>
<link href="css/thickbox.css" rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript">

Spry.Data.Region.addObserver("ddetail", MyRegionCallback);
</script>
4.- We can simplify things a bit; Since we are only
interested in the moment
when the region is finished, we'll replace the callback
function with an
region observer object:
<link href="css/thickbox.css" rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>

Spry dataset not working in Template - please help

Hi all,
I have a situation where when I pull a spry dataset from an
xml file and display the contents in a table which works fine in a
regular html page but not a template formed page for repeatable
region.
The error I get is FAILED TO RETRIEVE DATA SET FOR SPRY
REPEAT. Prior to that it tells me GetParentDataSet is null or not
an object. I tried setting up a repeat region around the repeated
rows but that didn't work either. So I pulled everything else out
that might be causing the problem but nothing. I checked the
pathing as well for the spry assets and it checks out okay.
Anyway, here's the template.

This
is a test

<div spry:region="dsReagCons">
<table align='center' width='680' border='1'
cellpadding='3' cellspacing='0' class='form'>
<tr>
<td colspan='5' class='prodHead' >Electrodes and
Accessories</td>
</tr>
<tr class='prodHead2'>
<td spry:sort="ddi_cat_no" width='80'>Diamond<br
/>
Cat. No.</td>
<td spry:sort="oem_cat_no" width='80'>OEM<br />
Cat. No.</td>
<td width='300'>Description</td>
<td spry:sort="models" width='100'>Models</td>
<td width='45'>UOM</td>
</tr>
<tr spry:repeat="dsReagCons">
<td>{dsReagCons::ddi_cat_no}</td>
<td>{dsReagCons::oem_cat_no}</td>
<td>{dsReagCons::desc}</td>
<td>{dsReagCons::models}</td>
<td>{dsReagCons::uom}</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</body>
</html>
What am I missing here? Like I said I even tried putting a
repeat region around the table itself.
Thanks,

Hey,
Good to have a comm expert on this. Actually I solved the
problem. It was combination of what I was doing within the template
and the way the xml file was formed. Also, I had to use a template
parameter to feed a spry:test filter.
Thanks for getting back to me anyway.

GROUP BY in SPRY DATASET

Hi,
how can I set a GROUP BY in my Spry-Dataset? I got lots of <city> tags that sometimes contain the same city. And I dont want them all to be shown in the list only 1 time.
Thanks for help,
Denis

It starts already here: function( ds, row, index ) where do I find ds? row? index? In the filter you showed me yesterday, it was written like that, too.
the ds, row, and index are arguements of the function. Its basically in the information that Spry sends to your filter function that you can use to filter rows in your database.
ds, is a reference to the current dataset that will have the filter applied,
row, is a reference to the current row of your dataset that the filter is checking.
index, is the current row number that is getting filtered.
You can use these values to compile your own custom filter, as i did in example posted above. It uses the row variable to check for data in the current filtered row, and decided based on the information of that row, if the filter function should return the row, or remove the row ( return nothing );
This is only one of the points. the other point is, that I dont know what to look for, when I need help. This filter thing from yesterday, is, nice, works only half, and brings me to the next frontier, like that GROUP BY thing, and that the dropdown fields are closed.
There are a few points to look for information, when i first started, i used allot code from the examples. And searched the Spry API for information. And bought a few books on JavaScript. ( Spry got me hooked on JavaScript ). The Spry Docs is basically the base source of information. It links to almost everything you need. For more about data sets I would really suggest reading the articles that are bundled with Spry.
These pages are bookmarked by me:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/docs.html
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/data_api/index.html
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/data_set_overview/index.html
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/best_practices/index.html
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/widgets/widgets.html
When i got more used to Spry and JavaScript in I got most of my knowledge by analising all functions in side of Spry, all methods and functions properties, understanding how things work, and why things work. So i can provide better solutions for problems.
When I got one, I got 3 new problems. Thats not so in PHP.
An other thing is, that the german characters arent displayed right. and and and and...
:-) I got to have a coffee now...

set column types to HTML, make sure you have the correct iso set for your XML and page. If you page is "iso-8859-15" make sure your XML and data is that as well. The same counts for UTF-8 and other encodings.

Using an .aspx file for a spry dataset

I need to pull title data and associated links from this page (
http://www.isurv.com/site/custom_scripts/rss_whats_new.aspx) on to a separate site where the info is displayed as latest news.
Whilst locally I can get this to work in I.E. no data shows in Firefox, Chrome, Safari.
If I upload the file and supports to the site I get nothing in any browser.
Question. Can I use an .aspx file as a source for my Spry dataset?
If so can some one show me an example?
here's my code:
<script type="text/javascript">
var ds2 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("http://www.isurv.com/site/custom_scripts/rss_whats_new.aspx", "rdf:RDF/item");
ds2.setColumnType("dc:date", "date");
</script>
<body>
<div spry:region="ds2">
<ul spry:repeatchildren="ds2">
<li><a href="{ds2::link}">{title}</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</body

The problem lies with the fact that XML data cannot normally be transferred from one domain to another, that is unless you are using YQL, see here http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/
Our friend Arnaut Kazemier (V1) has written a nifty script that combines the features of Spry with that of YQL and can be found here https://github.com/3rd-Eden/Spry-YQL-DataSet. Using the YQLDataSet I have written a test page which can be found here http://pleysier.com.au/rss_example/
However, I tried to connect to http://www.isurv.com/site/custom_scripts/rss_whats_new.aspx without the result
Another interesting possibility can be found here http://www.linecraft.com/dreamweaver-get-external-feed/extension.php. I have not tried it yet.

Spry Dataset Checkbox filters

I'm using the spry dataset feature with an XML file. The XML is set up like so...
<item>
     <image>(path to image)</image>
     <title>(short title)</title>
     <desc>(short description of image)</desc>
     <cat>(one of three categories: cars, shirts, graphics)</cat>
</item>
Ultimately my goal is to get 3 checkboxes(cars, shirts, graphics) to filter the spry content accordingly.
What would be my best route for applying the filters?

You are best off using xpath filtering as seen here http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/data_region/FilterXPath_with_params.html
I hope this helps.

ERROR: Spry Dataset -vs- InContext Editing

I am having horrible luck importing ICE editable content into a Spry Dataset.
What I'm trying to achieve is something similar to the YUI Calendar Method performed by George & Pablo here: http://tv.adobe.com/#vi+f1500v1435
The easiest way is to take a web page I have set up in tables.. but you can only create Editable Regions for InContext Editing using <div>s...
No matter which method I try, I come up with an error. I need the end user to be able to edit his own "Calendar" and I need to be able to imort this information into a Spry Dataset. Any way I can accomplish this???

I forgot to mention one other problem
The layout that I sketched up is the one I am going for. So a tip on how to get the text and the headings to flow around the image like shown in the picture would be greatly appreciated. Is it recommended to use tables inside div tags or spry for that matter?
Thanks a million.
