Script for adding a page

Is there a way to have a whole page invisible from the actual form but when a certain word is selected from a drop down list the page then appears?? Thanks.

I figured out how to do this one...pretty easy actually.
on exit use addInstance and removeInstance

Script for adding a login item for all accounts in the system

Hi,
Thanks for reading this query. I am new to the mac environment. I have developed a java application and created an installer of this application for MAC system.I want to run this application on starting the system. So I have written an apple script for adding this application in login items and this script will run immediately after completing installation process. And the entire process is fine. But the problem is, the application is added to login items of only the user who installed the application. But I want to get available the application in the login list of all accounts created in the system. How can I achieve this? Once more thanks in advance. I am attaching my script below:
+*tell application "System Events"*+
+* make login item at end with properties {path:"/Applications/MyApplication.app", hidden:true}*+
+*end tell*+

Scripts for adding/deleting/modifying Open Directory accounts?

I think I have searched high and low for an answer to this question, but if I missed it please point me in the right direction. Where can I find information on scripts for adding/deleting/modifying open directory accounts? At the very least, a command line utility with some syntax guidelines! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
I personally don't know if any scripts although you can use the command line to do pretty much anything you want with the Open Directory. Consult the manual: man dscl. If you launch terminal and issue dscl you should see something like this:
my-Laptop:~ me$ dscl
dscl (v20.4)
usage: dscl [options] [<datasource> [<command>]]
datasource:
localhost (default) or
<hostname> (requires DS proxy support, >= DS-158) or
<nodename> (Directory Service style node name) or
<domainname> (NetInfo style domain name)
options:
-u <user> authenticate as user (required when using DS Proxy)
-P <password> authentication password
-p prompt for password
-raw don't strip off prefix from DS constants
-url print record attribute values in URL-style encoding
-q quiet - no interactive prompt
commands:
-read <path> [<key>...]
-create <record path> [<key> [<val>...]]
-delete <path> [<key> [<val>...]]
-list <path> [<key>]
-append <record path> <key> <val>...
-merge <record path> <key> <val>...
-change <record path> <key> <old value> <new value>
-changei <record path> <key> <value index> <new value>
-search <path> <key> <val>
-auth [<user> [<password>]]
-authonly [<user> [<password>]]
-passwd <user path> [<new password> | <old password> <new password>]
Entering interactive mode...
The above is for 10.4 and should server equally as well for 10.5.
Hope this helps, Tony

Best / most popular software or scripts for adding search function to website?

I'm trying to find a good piece of software or script for implementing a site search function into our website. I am relatively knowledgeable in Dreamweaver and can write CSS and XHTML at the fairly intermediate to advanced level, as well as work with JavaScript and js files, but I don't really know much ASP or "by hand" Java coding. Their are so many scripts and software out there for adding a site search that it's hard to sort through and narrow down. I was hoping to find reviews of the popular ones or "top 10 lists" of some sort that would help me pinpoint a good one, but can't find anything like that. These are the primary needs of the website:
--Has under 50 searchable pages that won't change much and probably won't exceed 50. There are product part numbers and descriptions for some 250-300 part numbers, spread across only 24 of those pages. The remaining pages are important but no part numbers-- About Us, News, Where to Buy, History, Featured Products, etc. The product pages are very much like an online store but we don't sell directly on the site (only thru distributors/reps).
--We are trying to keep the price under about $50, or use a free solution
--The pages are all static XHTML+CSS pages, but our server can run ASP (we have another website for one of our other product line divisions, on the same server, with many more products beyond 1000, which was programmed completely in ASP by an outside company about 4 years ago). We self-host both sites.
--Our server can't run PHP
--The search capabilities need only be rather basic-- a keyword search with a results page that uses the same design template as the rest of the site. It would be nice, but not mandatory, to have a search filter and/or a drop down menu to enable selectively searching only certain parts of the site, or only product/part number search vs. general search, etc. (but again, not mandatory).
--I do have a sitemap page already on it, if that matters or helps
Some of the ones I've found so far that looked the most promising include: Zoom Search Engine (http://www.wrensoft.com/zoom/), Site Search Pro (http://www.site-search-pro.com/), and FX Site Search which is a DW Extension I found in the exchange (http://www.felixone.it/extensions/prod/mxssen.asp)-- (that one looks possibly technically challenging or requiring more ASP skill, though)
Forgive me if there is a better area to post this, if so let me know.

For a static site, your options are:
Google ~ http://www.google.com/sitesearch/
Freefind ~ http://www.freefind.com/
Zoom from Wrensoft ~ http://www.wrensoft.com/zoom/

Script for adding datafile to tablespace

Hi
Does anyone have a template alter tablespace add datafile script handy?
Basically, we need to, in the event of a tablespace alert, do two things:
query that tablespace to see how much space is remaining.
ascertain the size of the datafiles added to that tablespace already (to clarify what size we should make the additional datafile)
finally, the command itself for adding the extra datafile.
Thanks.
10.0.2.0

SELECT Total.tablespace_name "TSPACE_NAME",
round(nvl(TOTAL_SPACE,0),2) Tot_space,
round(nvl(USED_Space,0),2) Used_space,
round(nvl(TOTAL_SPACE - USED_Space,0),2) Free_space,
round(nvl(round(nvl((TOTAL_SPACE - USED_Space)*100,0),2)/(Total_space),0),2) "USED%"
FROM
(select tablespace_name, sum(bytes/1024/1024) TOTAL_SPACE
from sys.dba_data_files
group by tablespace_name
) Total,
(select tablespace_name, sum(bytes/1024/1024) USED_Space
from sys.dba_segments
group by tablespace_name
) USED
WHERE Total.Tablespace_name(+) = USED.tablespace_name and
round(nvl(round(nvl((TOTAL_SPACE - USED_Space)*100,0),2)/(Total_space),0),2)< 20;
the above query will display tablespaces which are having freespace below 20%
select file_name,autoextensible,sum(bytes)/1024/1024,sum(maxbytes)/1024/1024
from dba_data_files
where tablespace_name='TBS_NAME'
group by file_name,autoextensible;
the above query will give details of datafiles like autoextensible or not etc.
SELECT SUBSTR (df.NAME, 1, 40) file_name,dfs.tablespace_name, df.bytes / 1024 / 1024 allocated_mb,
((df.bytes / 1024 / 1024) - NVL (SUM (dfs.bytes) / 1024 / 1024, 0))
used_mb,
NVL (SUM (dfs.bytes) / 1024 / 1024, 0) free_space_mb
FROM v$datafile df, dba_free_space dfs
WHERE df.file# = dfs.file_id(+)
GROUP BY dfs.file_id, df.NAME, df.file#, df.bytes,dfs.tablespace_name
ORDER BY file_name;
the above query will show how much freespace is left in each datafile.

Required alter script for adding partition and subpartition

Hi Folks,
Please help me to write ALTER STATEMENT for adding new partition P1 and SUBPARTITION P1_201001 and P1_201002.
Thank you

)Then if the new partition is HIGHER than ALL existing ranges you can just add it
alter table test add

A script for adding the current date to file name?

I am working in Indesign CS3. I frequently save file as PDFs into a designated folder. I was hoping for help in writing a script that would apply the current date to the end of the file name, when saved into this folder. Some days, I save the same file several times, into this folder. I was also hoping there was a way to add a date and version, for example "filename_2.25.11(1).pdf" Is this possible? Can someone help me?

ok, I ended up with this test routine:
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
tell application "Finder"
repeat with this in added_items
my checkifopened(this)
display dialog (name of this) as text
end repeat
end tell
end adding folder items to
on checkifopened(this)
set a to POSIX path of (this as alias)
repeat until 1 = 0
## don't like that one because it relies on an error msg ... so
(** try
set b to do shell script "lsof | grep " & quoted form of a
on error
exit repeat
end try**)
##so I use this one
set b to do shell script "lsof"
if b does not contain a then
exit repeat
else
say "still opened"
end if
end repeat
end checkifopened
this is a folder action that tests if the added file is still opened by an application... there is no delay between each test-loop since lsof takes some time to execute...
And after adding a timeout (just in case) to this function the final script looks like this:
on adding folder items to thefolder after receiving added_items
tell application "Finder"
set folderkind to kind of thefolder
set myfiles to every item of thefolder whose name does not contain "#" and kind is not folderkind
repeat with myfile in myfiles
set myfile_datestring to my get_datestring(creation date of myfile)
set myfilename to name of myfile
if (count of every character of myfilename) > 4 and (character -4 of myfilename) as text is "." then
set filestatus to my checkifopened(myfile, 60)
if filestatus = false then
display dialog "timeout on folder action"
else
set tmp to ((characters 1 through -5 of myfilename) & "#" & myfile_datestring & (characters -4 through -1 of myfilename)) as text
set myfilename to my checknamewith_pdfsuffix(tmp, thefolder, false)
set name of myfile to myfilename
end if
end if
end repeat
end tell
end adding folder items to
on get_datestring(mydate)
return year of mydate & "-" & (characters -2 through -1 of (("0" & (month of mydate as integer)) as text)) & "-" & (characters -2 through -1 of (("0" & (day of mydate as integer)) as text)) as text
end get_datestring
on checknamewith_pdfsuffix(n, D, looped)
--check if filename exists in D
-- so if "A File.pdf" exists it names it "A File 1.pdf","A File 2.pdf",...
#n = string of the filename
#D = file reference to the directory to check
#looped = boolean used for recursive loop...
tell application "Finder"
set thefiles to name of every item of (D as alias)
end tell
if thefiles contains n then
if looped = false then
set n to ((characters 1 through -5 of n) & "(1)" & (characters -4 through -1 of n)) as text
my checknamewith_pdfsuffix(n, D, true)
else
set tmp to (last word of ((characters 1 through -5 of n) as text) as integer)
set tmpcount to (count of characters of (tmp as text)) + 5
set tmp to tmp + 1
set n to ((characters 1 through (-1 * tmpcount) of n) & "(" & tmp & ")" & (characters -4 through -1 of n)) as text
my checknamewith_pdfsuffix(n, D, true)
end if
else
return n
end if
end checknamewith_pdfsuffix
on checkifopened(this, mytimeout)
## this file reference
## timeout in seconds
set a to POSIX path of (this as alias)
set startdate to current date
repeat until 1 = 0
## don't like that one because it relies on an error msg ... so
(** try
set b to do shell script "lsof | grep " & quoted form of a
on error
exit repeat
end try**)
##so I use this one
set b to do shell script "lsof"
if b does not contain a then
return true
else if ((current date) - startdate) > mytimeout then
return false
else
##say "still opened"
end if
end repeat
end checkifopened
to use this save this script in /Library/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts
and add this as a folder action to your folder...
The script processes all files inside that folder each time a new files is added...

Script for extracting multiple pages

Hi,
I'm working with the default "extract pages" script: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_A croJS.88.465.html
I want to modify it to extract 2 pages at a time. For example, say I start with a 6-page document. I would like the script to extract pages 1,2 as one document, then pages 3,4 and 5,6.
How would I modify the script to do this?
Thanks!

You could use a loop, but you don't need to for what you want. Do something like:
// Extract first two pages to a new file
extractPages({nStart: 0, nEnd: 1, cPath: "/F/temp/file1.pdf"});
// Extract 3rd and 4th pages
extractPages({nStart: 2, nEnd: 3, cPath: "/F/temp/file2.pdf"});
// Extract fifth and sixth pages
extractPages({nStart: 4, nEnd: 5, cPath: "/F/temp/file3.pdf"});
Obviously, you need to change the file paths.

What is best practice for adding copyright page, etc?

Hi Folks,
I'm using iBooks Author for the first time. When I added a copyright page using Insert > Pages > Section > Copyright, I get a loose page that I was able to drag in front of the table of contents. However, the copyright page now has no formatting. That is, it spans a full two-page spread without the page break in the middle, like the rest of the book. How can I get the the same format for pages before the TOC?
Thanks,
Rob

iBooks Author will definitely need a code view feature to users can hack the XML manually and fix these things.
While I don't see that happening , (a) you can show package contents and go nuts now, if you like and (b). feel free to use iBA's menu to feedback [ http://www.apple.com/feedback/ibooks-author.html ] for any features, changes, etc. you may have in mind for the future and (c) remember, the best defense is a good offense...best way to stay out of jams w/IBA is to not get into them in the first place...practice with different templates to see which may support specific needs.

Script for printing changed pages only

Does anyone know of a script that will allow the printing of only those pages that have had changes made to them since a previous save? I'm a typesetter doing work only on books and journals and sometimes it's a bit tedious to keep track of the individual pages one works on. thanks,

Ok,
Here is a raw code. All you need to do is edit the script to specify the printer preset you want to use. I don't have a printer my self to debug but I think it should work.
Here is the idml to grab the object styles. Don't forget to apply on objects located onto the pasteboard. The script look for these objects and grab the page name next to them to finally print these pages.
Hope it helps,

Script for adding layer name to artboard as text

I've found scripts that are sort of close but not quite this.
I have 1 artboard and many layers (see image).
Does anyone have a script that will take the name of the layer, ie "01_Intro" and create and then place the text "01_Intro" on to the art board in layer 01_Intro? Then it would repeat the process for all the present layers?
Thanks in advance!

A script for adding Tags based on search result

Hello all fellow faithfuls of InDesign!
I am looking at a challenge with my very basic (near to none) experience of scripting, that goes like this:
I need a script that could search through my story/selection and look for patterns (such as four digits in a row, basic RegEx stuff) and add a specific Tag-element with some specific attributes and given values that would be taken from the found pattern.
EXAMPLE: (Searching the text below)
Product 7352 price 23,60
Now the script would find: 7352 and tag it [7352] and give it attributes like RecordID = 7352 and Field = PRODUCTNR
For the price it would find the 23,60 and give it the same RecordID = 7352 and Field = PRICE.
How would I approach something like this?

Hi AshishK15,
Base on your code, I think the exception is threw in the code of Selection.Paragraphs(i).Range.Select.
For your code, you are getting the all paragraphs of the document (iParCount), however you are using the Selection object to get all paragraphs, which is incorrect unless you select the whole document content.
So, please modify the Selection to ActiveDocument.
For i = 1 To iParCount
ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(i).Range.Select
If ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(i).Range.ListParagraphs.Count = 1 Then
MsgBox ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(i).Range.ListFormat.ListLevelNumber
MsgBox ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(i).OutlineLevel
End If
Next

HT1347 Windows: Is there a script for adding a folder to an iTunes Library at startup?

Has anyone ever created a script to have "watched folders" functionality in iTunes?
Three out of the four users in my household share the same iTunes library folder, which resides on a separate hard drive (along with the iTunes Library of the 4th user). I thought this would be the easiest way for all the music purchased for our family to be shared among us, while not sharing playlists. I thought iTunes would, automatically and routinely, scan and categorize the files in the designated iTunes Media Folder.
However, now whenever someone adds music through their account, the songs will not show up in another user's library (even though both accounts use the same iTunes Media Folder). The only way to have an up-to-date library, is to go to "File" > "Add Folder to Library..." and add the iTunes Media folder each time a user starts their iTunes instance.
I'm new to iTunes (moving over from WMP and VLC).
Just in case anyone cares... I'm using:
- iTunes 10.7.0.21
- Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (with Service Pack 1)
- We have an iPhone and an iPod touch in the household
