Making a login that will direct to a file/url based on unique id

This may be the wrong forum, and I apologize if so.... I have a flash website for my photography business and I would like to make a link I have to "Client Photos" redirect to a specific clients files/folder with thier unique id and/or password. Currently I send them to another URL alltogether where I have my shopping cart set up and hosted, but they see a long list of folders/thumbnails and have to click on thiers then enter a password. This is set up thru zenfolio so I didnt have to do any coding for the password. I already have the link on my flash site, I am just wondering if someone can point me to a good tutorial on php/mysql (i assume this is the best method as a database will be required) that addresses this without having to spend 6 months becoming a php expert first. I am pretty familiar with dreamweaver CS3 and have built dozens of html/css static sites, some javascript stuff, but this level of interactivity is all new to me.
Basically this is the flow needed:
1. Client clicks link on flash site, and is taken to a login page (would like to use an xhtml/css page for this instead of flash because many clients use iphones, so i can give them all the same url to login page also, bypassing flash site they cant see if on a mobile device)
2.this page will be styled like my site so its seamless looking and will have two form fields so client can enter thier last name as a login and a password I assign
3. when this data is entered the database (i assume) will have a url stored that is a gallery of thier images and open this in a new browser tab/ window
I am a complete newb at this sort of thing and want to learn instead of just being handed code, so ANY help is greatly appreciated. Most photographers websites I see have a feature like this so I assume its not an uncommon thing, however when I ask other photographer friends how they did it, none of them have a clue because they paid someone else to build thier site or it was already included in a template...

You're in the right forum now. I have moved this thread to the Dreamweaver Application Development forum, which deals with PHP/MySQL and other server-side issues.
What you want to achieve is relatively simple with Dreamweaver's User Authentication server behaviors. The Dreamweaver help files have a section on Building a login page. There's also a tutorial in the Adobe Developer Connection on setting up a PHP testing environment.
Out of the box, the Dreamweaver login system sends everyone to the same page, but it's relatively easy to tweak the code to send people to individual pages. You can ask here for more help once you've got the basic system set up. You might also find my book "The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS4 with CSS, Ajax, and PHP" smooths out a lot of the process for you. It has a complete chapter on building a user login system, including the database end. It also shows how to redirect users to individual pages.

Making a DVD that will play on windows XP

Hello,
I am trying to make a DVD for a client that will play on a Mac, a regular DVD player, and on a PC. The DVD will also have PDF's to access. I have given instructions to open the PDF's because I didn't want to mess with DVD@ccess.
So far the DVD plays well on everything, even Windows Vista, but will not play on my clients computer. She is using Windows XP. She plans on making about 5000 copies, but is concerned that some people will have the problem that she is having.
Is there something I can do to make it play on her computer?
Are the PDF's messing things up?
If she takes my DVD to a big time production house to duplicate, will that clear up the issue?
I feel like I might lose her soon, and she has about 80 more jobs for me. I don't know what to do!
Thanks for any help you might offer. I'm going crazy!

Windows computers do have a lot of "issues". The first thing you can do is make sure she is using a DVD player other than Windows Media Player (the absolute worst). PowerDVD, WinDVD, etc all have better chances of playing DVDs. Remember to use simple logic. If it plays on Macs, it plays on Vista, it plays on stand alone DVD players, and it plays on other Windows XP computers (it does, trust me) but it doesn't play on her computer… there must be something wrong with her computer.
Is there something I can do to make it play on her computer?
No, because the DVD isn't the problem, it's the client's computer that is the problem. Now, Windows Media Player is notorious for having problems with DVD-R and DVD+R discs. Sending it out for replication to DVD 5 discs might allow her to play the DVD… but there are no guarantees, she could be having a whole host of other problems.
You do realize that even if you do get it to work on her computer, you are guaranteed to get somebody using Windows saying, "It doesn't play." And the reason could be that they only have a CD drive… There is no "foolproof" solution.

Making a loop that will stop when a double or a float will max out

Can someone tell me to how I can create a loop that will take a float abd a double value each with a beginning value of 2 and double each value until both variables run out of memory, and return the maximum valid value for each variable? I assume I will need two loops to do this, but I am not sure how to get the loop to stop. I have had the values go into crazy negative numbers when it starts to max out.

So it does. Apparently that example only works for fixed point math... I did
System.out.println(Double.MAX_VALUE * 2);and it said "Infinity" which I find a little humorous. In any case, try the static methods Float.isInifinite() and Double.isInfinite()
EDIT: even weirder!
public static final double POSITIVE_INFINITY = 1.0 / 0.0;

I want to create an offline clickable portfolio that will launch with one file click on a USB device

I want the fastest solution. I could create in Dreamweaver, Muse, Flash or Edge, or InDesign with clickable links.
What do you recommend as the best? Is there an export format that would work best as a single clickable file that is cross platform? Is .swf the best solution? I think it would take awhile to set up a portfolio that way.
All ideas welcome! I'm doing an press kit on a USB device that will be handed out to many.

Hi Wrayco,
The fastest solution that came to mind for me was using the web module in Lightroom and outputting gallery files locally for putting them on a USB drive. You might also want to post the same question on some of the product specific forums you cited.
Hope that helps,

Is there an add-in for FF that will direct files based on the type? i.e. put graphic files in a folder called graphics, program files in a folder called exe etc?

I would like FF to be able to sort my downloads into categories, to put program files into a folder called exe, to put graphic files into a folder called pics ,etc. Can this be done?

The Firefox download manager isn't set up to do that, but I understand there are a few external download managers that offer a feature like that.

How can I autorun a script that will process an XML file on open?

I am using Frame 11. I have a registered script that looks for event notification Constants.FA_Note_PostOpenXML. When this event fires, the script is supposed to examine the root element (so I only edit appropriate XML files), then make some edits to the file. Specifically, I want to be able to delete empty pages, remove room for side heads, and fix table formatting (such as left indent, which I can't directly access, apparently, in the EDD or R/W rules). The snippet of code that starts doing the work follows:
Notification(Constants.FA_Note_PostOpenXML,true);
function Notify(note, object, sparam, iparam) {
    switch (note) {
        case Constants.FA_Note_PostOpenXML:
            doTheWork();
            break;
function doTheWork() {
    var doc, flow, root, elemName, mPageAttrib, topicElem, topicElemName, allAttribs;
    doc = app.ActiveDoc;
    flow = doc.MainFlowInDoc;
    root = flow.HighestLevelElement; // will always get something even if unstructured document
    while(root.ObjectValid()) { //only do something for structured docs
        elemName = getElementName(root);
        ...more code to do stuff....
I then check the root element name, and if it matches, I make some changes. This code works fine when run manually. But, when run as a registered script, the app.ActiveDoc object is invalid, and there is no structure to edit. (I added debug line if(!doc.ObjectValid()){alert("not valid");}, which is not included above.) It appears that the Constants.FA_Note_PostOpenXML event fires as soon as the XML file is opened, but BEFORE Frame actually reads it.
Does anyone have any recommendations on how to work around this? Is there another event I could use instead of Constants.FA_Note_PostOpenXML? Is there any other way to automatically manipulate an XML file when it loads?
Thanks in advance

The Notify event receives four parameters: note, object, sparam, and iparam. For the event you are using, object should be the document object of the FrameMaker document being opened. So, you should be able to use this:
doTheWork(object);
Make sure you update your doTheWork function to receive the Doc object:
function doTheWork(doc) {
    var flow, root, elemName, mPageAttrib, topicElem, topicElemName, allAttribs;
    flow = doc.MainFlowInDoc;
    root = flow.HighestLevelElement; // will always get something even if unstructured document
    while(root.ObjectValid()) { //only do something for structured docs
        elemName = getElementName(root);
        ...more code to do stuff....

Button that will pause project AND open URL

how can I create a button, that upon clicking will pause the
movie, and open a URL in another window. I've got javascript that
opens another window, but the movie doesn't pause. I uncheck the
'pause movie' box because I want the user to have the option of
clicking on the button or not. The 'Continue playing project'
option in the pull down that appear after selecting Execute
Javascript, doesn't work. I've tried unchecking it.

Hi there oddrhythm
You have posted this identical question three different times
now. I realize you haven't yet received an answer, but if we have
multiple posts asking the same question, it makes searching the
forums later more difficult for others that have the same question.
Anyone choosing to reply should direct the reply to the
thread at
this

I have a thought on how you might achieve what you are
looking for. So I'll reply to that thread.
Cheers... Rick

Is there a Chrome extension that will automatically open a matching URL in Firefox?

I'm on OSX. I use Chrome as my default browser (personal choice). However, an internal site that I use regularly is a boxed product that works only in Firefox.
Is there a Chrome extension that I can list URLs that Chrome should automatically open in Firefox instead? I want Chrome to remain my default browser, but when I click on a URL for that site in my email, Chrome opens the site in a tab, then opens Firefox with that URL, then closes the tab it opened.

There might be some vise versa however.

Is there an app or haxies that will retore color to file labels instead of dots, thank you

Is there an app or haxies that anyone nows that could do this, please

Hi all! Just installed XtraFinder... it's FREE and gives back the old label colors (and so much more)! Latest version from 3/25/2014.
Discussion over! (It's just too bad that we have to resort to 3rd party stuff to get something that so many people want...)
