OT - like spry data set

Hello,
I need to get data from a table in another website, I see
this is
available in new features on dwcs4, spry data set can get

How do I link a Spry data set with a detail region to a html web site?

I have created a spry data set with a detail region. It works well. However, I would like to have a link from the detail region to another html web site. Can anyone help with the code? Below is the spry data set.

Spry data sets

I'm having trouble getting the Spry data set to display in my

me some tips? I have the XML file in the same folder as the HTML

Thanks to whomever takes the time. I really appreciate the
extra set of eyes and any tips!

With those 2 changes I mentioned above ... and the fact that
I had to fix the markup because there were missing end tags, which
I was assuming was just a copy paste problem ... it all worked fine
for me. Of course I made sure the includes I used were in the
correct place.
After re-reading your original message above, you never
really mentioned what you are seeing in the browser. Are there any
errors being thrown? Are you seeing data references instead of
values? If you are in need of help, we could diagnose things much
faster if you had an URL we could take a peek at.
Also what platform and browser are you using?
Did you try loading the XML file directly in to your browser
like ZeusChicago suggested? That would instantly tell you if your
server was serving your XML up with the correct content-type or
not.

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

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.
...Brad

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.

Spry Data Sets and IE7 and IE8

Whiile in IE 7 or IE 8, my spry data set is not displaying
the data. However, using the Firefox browser, you can see the data
within the spry data set. For some reason unbeknownst to me, IE 7
and IE 8 in not allowing the spry data set to display the necessary
data. Is there a fix to this issue? Can changing or modifying the
HTML code help make the connection between the spry data set and
its data in IE 7 and IE 8? Any assistance would be helpful. Thank
you.
To view my site where the problem is at, go to
http://www.hrconsortium.net/hrworkshops.htm

It gags in IE because you are saying that the Course_Date
column is a date, but you have an "Open" word in the date column
instead of a date. You can work around the problem by creating a
custom column that replaces the "Open" keyword with a date in the
past or the future, depending on where you want it to land when
sorting (top or bottom). Then, leave your Course_Date column as a
"string" column type, and set the new custom column to the date
column type. Try something like this:
<script type="text/javascript">

My spry data set isn't working

So i followed like 5 to 6 tutorials on how to create a spry data set in dreamweaver, and I can't seem to get it to work.
Here is the script, apparently line 11 has an error to it.

Without seeing the actual error message and the contents of data01.html, it's impossible to offer any help.
However, are you aware that Adobe stopped developing Spry nearly two years ago? See this announcement.

Making Spry data set content clickable

I am just getting started with CS4 & Spry data sets. I have it working pretty well. Now i want to know if I can wrap the results of a column in html?
One column of my test page lists a members web address like: "www.abc.com"
Can I get Spry to wrap everything in the column with "http://" so the URL is clickable? Same thing for an email address. Wrap contents in "mailto:"
Thanks

Sure. You would have something like:
<a href="http://{sprydataref}" >{sprydataref}</a>

Spry data set blinks on loading

Hello
I am testing spry data sets with large tables of content.
Is there any way to stop the blinking of the page when loading.
I would like to show a loading bar or something similar while waiting for the data to be loaded.
Here is a link from one of the pages I am working with.
http://www.riegler-projekt.de/page/wartungsgeraete/3-2-wege-fut.html
Would appreciate any help
Anthony Bury

Thank you, that did the trick.
One problem I have is with Firefox 3.5, on a Mac the table won't show, with Windows I just see the first table without the CSS background colours.
All other browsers Mac or Windows (Safari IE Opera) all show the data correctly. I tried searching the forum for similar problems, but most seemed related to IE and not FF.
Do you have any idea what this could be?
Thanks for any support

Spry data set and html table with multiple images

I use "Spry Data Set" in my Dreamweaver CS4 site. I need to make one html file (a product page) and all the product data comes from a separate html table.
So, I have a html table that contains the product data and the images. Each row is one product.
Column 1 contains a product name
Column 2 contains product information
Column 3 contains products thumbnail image 1
Column 4 contains products thumbnail image 2
Column 5 contains products large image 1
Column 6 contains products large image 2
This a simple example of the idea. In reality, there is lot more content.
So the actual question is that:
How can I show in the product page all the thumbnail images, but only one large picture at a time?
And when the thumbnail is clicked the large picture changes accordingly.

It depend entirely on what you want.
One way would be to show a shadow box as per http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?searchfield=shadowbox&search_exchange=&num =25&startnum=1&event=search&sort=0&interim_dummy_tmpfield=&Submit= or http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?searchfield=lightbox&search_exchange=&sear ch_license=&search_rating=&search_pubdate=&Submit=Search&num=10&startnum=1&event=search&so rt=0&dummy_tmpfield=
Another way is to have a master/detail area where the large image appears after clicking in the master area like this http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/demos/products/index.html
You could also use tooltips as in http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/data_region/TooltipwithData.html.
There are many more ways, but you need to make the desicion based on the layout of your page.

Spry Data Set will not Refresh with New Data?

I'm using the Dreamweaver CS4 "Spry Data Set" Wizard and created the following layout on one of my pages:
In the wizard, under "Specify a Data Source", I chose "HTML", and selected my cfm page that has a simple Table with the datasource below:
<cfparam name="URL.id_com" default="1">
<cfquery name="rsTickets" datasource="Ctickets">
SELECT ticketNum, ticketType, ticketDate, acctNum, firstName, lastName, businessName, city, status, owner, ticketDetails
FROM tickets
WHERE acctNum = <cfqueryparam value="#URL.id_com#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_numeric">
</cfquery>
When I display the page in IE8, The Spry Master/Detail page will not filter my records based on the URL parameter?
(Note: All my other "Non-Spry" datasets filter fine by the URL)
Question: How do I make the Spry data "Refresh" or "Re-run the query" so the data filters properly?
Thanks,
jlig

Ben, Thanks for the reply..
Here is my Source Data page which I created & selected in the Spry Data Wizard: http://cerberus.clearwave.com/jerry/Spry2.jpg
(this page takes my query, filtered by the URL Acct field and makes a simple table to feed the Spry Wizard)
- In the Spry Data Wizard, I selected the file and it properly found the table data: http://cerberus.clearwave.com/jerry/Spry3.jpg
- Then I clicked Next and changed a few of the field types: http://cerberus.clearwave.com/jerry/Spry4.jpg
- Next I chose Master-Detail and used the Acct field to be the Master : http://cerberus.clearwave.com/jerry/Spry5.jpg
- Lastly, I open up the webpage, click on the Tickets Spry Tab: http://cerberus.clearwave.com/jerry/Spry6.jpg
As you can see in the picture on this page: http://cerberus.clearwave.com/jerry/Spry6.jpg, the URL parameter is = 3902 which is the Acct number
being passed from the previous page in my application. (Ex..http://192.168.1.77/COE/salespipeline_mi.cfm?id_com=3902)
The first one is correct, but once I move to a different Acct number the Spry data will not update to reflect the correct Tickets?
Once I move to say, Acct 4413, the Spry Tickets Tab does not change or update to reflect this Acct's tickets?
(see link--> http://cerberus.clearwave.com/jerry/Spry7.jpg)
Here is my code listing for the Tabbed Webpage: http://cerberus.clearwave.com/jerry/Spry8.txt (see images 6 & 7)
It seems like I'm missing some kind of "Trigger" or "Requery" or "Refresh" that "Re-runs" the Source Data page (http://cerberus.clearwave.com/jerry/Spry2.jpg)..?
Thanks again,
jlig

SPRY DATA SET VS. RECORDSET

Hi,
Quick question.
Building a site using CS5.5. Aready had a database created for use on the site.
However, although I have successfully connected to the database, I am now trying to create a recordset to retrieve data and there is no option in the "Bindings" tab to do this.
(My website will pull values from the database based on selections on the web page)
All the options I see in Bindings are:
Spry data set
Get more data sources
But I expect to see
Recordset(Query)
Command
Request Variable
Session Varaible
Application Variable
Is it that these are not available anymore in 5.5 and if not, how will a spry data set allow me to search on the html file created with all the data? {There are 3 tables in the my database at present}
Write soon....

Okay great! Thanks - for the screen shot as well.
But also, I am aware that a spry data set would also allow me to select data based on a value.
First question, can the spry data set allow me to select based on multiple criteria?
Secondly, since for the Spry Data Set, the content will be stored on an HTML page, does this offer the same functionality as a recordset - where you can select a subset of data from the html content?
Reason I ask is because I also like the idea that the spry data set can allow users (that I allow) to modify the content and I'm thinking of using this for the website instead.
<<The website was originally going to pull database enties (which in this case would be html content entries?) based on drop down selection criteria which is also from a database table (other html file in this case?)>> In other words, how would this work using the spry data set.
Thanks.

Spry Data Set visible in Live View, but not on Site.

Hi,
I've used the spry data set widget to create a dynamic table. Everything looks fine in the live view. On the site itself, however, I see only a brief flash of the unpopulated spry table, and then nothing. All necessary files, including those in the SpryAssets folder, have been uploaded.
This is particularly frustating since my first crack at a spry data set worked with ease.
I have the feeling that I missing something simple. Any ideas?
Here is the table:
http://www.ldcsb.on.ca/ntip/teachphotos/profiletable.html
Here is the spry data set:
http://www.ldcsb.on.ca/ntip/teachphotos/profiles.html
Thanks for looking,
Jim

Jim, Your page comes up fine in Firefox, but as you said it flashes and disappears in IE8.
I notice some differences in the ids and Spry:sort values. You might sort those out (make them the same) and see what happens.
This is in the profiletable:
<td id="Image">Image</td>
<td id="First">First </td>
<td wid="Last">Last </td>                                        lose the w
<td id="Sschool">School</td>                                   lose the extra s
<td id="Grade">Grade </td>
<td id="Subject1">Subject1</td>
<td id="Subject2">Subject2</td>
<td w id="Description">Description</td>                    lose the w and the extra space
And this in the Spry region:
<th spry:sort="Image">Image</th>
<th spry:sort="First">First</th>
<th spry:sort="Last">Last</th>
<th spry:sort="School">School</th>
<th spry:sort="Grade">Grade</th>
<th spry:sort="Subject1">Subject1</th>
<th spry:sort="Subject2">Subject2</th>
<th spry:sort="Description">Description</th>
It's possible that IE is pickier than Firefox that the names be the same.
Other than that, look for things to clean up, like tightening up the table...I notice several places in the data where there are blank lines between the </tr> of one line and the <tr> of the next. Make sure every entry in the table has a cell for every column.
You're right; it is an easy Widget to work with...unless some tiny thing goes wrong and it doesn't work! I have had a data set that had some of those tiny anomalies, fixed them, and now I know to look for them.

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.
