Tracking Hits to a particular image

Hi,
My company sends out marketing emails to mass group. We would like to track the number of people who actually opened the emails. For that, I was thinking that if we include a clear gif in email and then whenever anyone would open the email, Portal can track a hit to that image as the image is stored in the content area and any request to an item in the portal's content area should be logged in the activity log. But this doesn't seem to be working. Can anyone please suggest me what should I do? Is there any other method for tracking the number of opened emails?
Thanks in advance for all your help.
Regards,
Jatinder

I am writing this assuming that you have a IMAGE item, and a URL assciated with the item.
1. Create a Procedure with item_id as IN parameter,(ex.. REDIRECT_PROC(item_id in NUMBER);)
2. in REDIRECT_PROC, Select the URL from Portal30.wwvThings table for item_id.
3. Use owa.util package and redirect to the selected URL.
4. Before redirection, Insert a record into your metrics table.(You create one table)
5. while emailing the Image, just send the ProcedureURL with image..
(ex..http://yourservername:port/pls/your_DAD/REDIRECT_PROC?item_id=11111)
so when Users click on the image from mail, they will come to this procedure, get the metrics, and then redirected to correspondding URL...
hope it will help..
thanks

Query to track changes to a particular table data

Hi,
Do we have some query to track the chnages to a particular table data?how we can do that...please helppp
Regards
Aswathy

The answer can only be as good as the question.
Your question is not good: there is no detail.
Say exactly what version of Oracle you have.
Say for how long in the past you need to track the changes.
Partial answer: for changes in the last few hours, read Flashback Queries
Message was edited by: Stew Ashton
P.S. I forgot to ask: do you want to know WHO and WHEN data was changed, or WHAT data was changed? Hoek answered the first question, I gave a partial answer to the second.

One track instead of rows of images

I noticed that you have on track to work with, which makes it difficult to work with with a large slide show or movie.
Is it possible to view your images in rows to better move your images around?

Your comparison of the Premiere Elements situation with the Movie Maker workspace clarifies what you seek.
There is no way to get the Movie Maker workspace look in Premiere Elements.
Expert workspace - tracks left to right and right to left - of course you can build on the track 99 tracks (default 3).
Quick workspace - filmstrip with scene spaces left to right and right to left.
There are a few Timeline maneuvers that you could consider, examples
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12/12.1: Timeline Playback Auto-Scrolling
a. Home key to get to beginning of Timeline
b. Enk key to get to last item on Timeline
c. altering zoom in zoom out level
d. use of the Fit to Visible Timeline option
e. exploring some of the Timeline scroll options
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12/12.1: Timeline Playback Auto-Scrolling
Also when you add a file to an existing Timeline, holding down the Alt key of the computer main keyboard
as you make the addition can avoid disturbances in the existing TImeline. There are way to group media
for mass movement. See Clip Menu/ Group or Ungroup.
Just some miscellaneous thoughts.

Can I extend a music track beyond photo or video image?

I am in iMovie 11 and trying to extend a sound track at the end of my project to play past the final image. My song still has 1 minute 30 seconds according to the clip master, but the song ends with the last picture. I can't pull the sound strip beyond the last picture, and when I try to extend in clip master it reverts back to end picture images. Is there a way to have the music play past the final image?

You need to have video or a photo/still running with the audio. You can't drag the audio track beyond the last image. You will need to add a further image or video to cover the remaining part of the song.
To insert a black image, go to the Map, Background and Animatic Browser (the last icon in the centre tool bar). Drag the Black (or any other) background to the end of your project. Double-click this to bring up the Inspector and change the duration to match the section of song you wish to cover. After inserting the background, you will need to drag out the sound track to its full limit (adjust the image duration again if necessary).

Tracking Time on a particular Web Site

Several people in my house share the same laptop. I would like to see how long some one was on a particular web site. Can I look at that in some file on my mac? I have looked through Safari and can't find anywhere to find that information. Maybe in Terminal?

Hi Bernie,
Safari keeps track of the date and time when website are downloaded (viewed) in its history. It has no way of knowing how long you view the site but will give you the date and time of the next site you view which could give you an idea. The date of access is stored within its history plist file (~/Library/Safari/History.plist).
If you open this up and look under root>WebHistoryDates>Item#>'Last Visited Date' (item number being the most recently visited site) you will get the time of the visit in absolute seconds. Absolute seconds are the number of seconds that have passed since Midnight January 1st 2001. Random I know. Anyways if you say access a video on youtube at 300,000,000.0 and then accessed your email at 3000,000,060.0 you could determine that you viewed the youtube site for 1 min sometime in June of 2010.
There are programs which will instantly calculate the date and time for you from these numbers but for your purposes it seems you just need to subtract the 2 to get number of seconds passed.
Hope this helps.
edit: be sure you don't change anything in the plist file, nor have it open when safari is running, to prevent any corruption.

Welcome to the discussions. Although it appears to be available, you may find that those apps won't actually accept or publish that iTunes music.

Yes — unless it's music you created yourself or music which you have the rights to re-distribute.

ID CS hangs on one particular image when exporting to pdf

I use ID 3.01, and have created a two-page folder, with 10 images. I cannot create a pdf, because ID hangs when downloading one image during the export process. It's an 8-bit CMYK Tiff, one layer only, saved without compression. The only thing that makes this image different, is that it has some InDesign text and graphics on top of it. (I tried to remove all the text and graphics, and I also tried embedding the images before exporting, but it made no difference)
The image opens without any problems in Photoshop, and is editable. I have also tried to do a Save As under a new name, which didn't help. The image originates from my Nikon D70, but so do other images too.
The folder is due to be printed on Thursday, so any help will be greatly appreciated.

As this is a camera original file, are its resolution settings in a normal range? I.e., verify in PhotoShop that it's not trying to put >5000 pixels into either 0.1 inch or 5000 inch (your numbers may vary).
I've had ID behave erratically with such files, which was solved when I changed the resolution settings in PS.

Is there a way to reference particular images in my library by code?

I have images in my library I want to reference in code, because I want those images to be displayed dynamically. How can I do this?

Create a movieclip which the the container of your image, when you import an image it will automatically create a symbol for you make that symbol to a movieclip and give a identifier name by right click properties. Export for action script and give a name.
Then in the action frame:
var mc:Movieclip=new dollmc; (dollmc is the name given as the identifier in the linkage from llibrary)
addChild(mc);

Tracking changes done to particular in SU01

Gurus,
Through an interface the cost centers of SAP users are changed in TCODE SU01 everyday if a user changes the department within the company under 'logon data' tab in 'other data'
I have to trigger certain emails if the changes occur in cost center values of a given user in SU01. How can I track the changes for this ? Is there any table which stores old and new values for cost center changes.
Regards,
Rajesh.

Hi
The cost center details resides in table USR03 field KOSTL.
The data element assocaited with it is XUKOSTL.
XUKOSTL does not have change document enabled.
so here is your design,
1. Take the access key for dataelement- XUKOSTL
2. Enable the change document check mark in the definition tab of the data element.
3. Write a program and check for changes in fields KOSTL by checking the entries in CDPOS and CDHRD.
4. If changes are done to fileds KOSTL then trigger mail.
5. Schedule the program everday at midnight.
or
1. Search for user exits which will get triggered during SU01
2. check the new and old value of KOSTL.
3. if there is a change then trigger your mails.
Thanks

How do I place a particular image for ex. .png or .jpg in postscript file?

Hi all,
Can some one help me out by telling how to place a image with in postscript file, I see some binary code in .ps file which are stated in examples.
Is there any way to encode/decode the image in to this binary format and place it in .PS file.
Regards,
Ravi Nandan

Adobe has published a downloadable Technical Note #5095 (JPEG Source Vendor List) that includes an Appendix titled "Printing JPEG-Compressed Files", which includes sample code.
This would be a good place to start.
Then, depending on the PostScript Language Level of the interpreter you are using:
Another Technical Note #5603 (Filters and Reusable Streams) has a much more extensive explanation of the PostScript Language Level 3 filters, including GIF and PNG image filters.

All tracks have the same preview image after import

Hi,
when importing some videos (h.264) into iMovie'08, all have the same preview image. I would expect them to hava an image from the clip.
How to fix this?
Arne

The files are on disk in my pictures folder. I took them with my Sony camera as mpeg2 and converted them with MPEG Streamclip to mpeg4 (h.264).
Just updated to iMovie 7.1, but did not change anything.
The icons are all of the 1st clip. Moving the mouse over them always show the 1st clip and the audio of the first clip in the thumbnail, but in the preview I see the correct clip.

How do you track hits on hit counter in iWeb?

I have been creating a personal poetry website on iWeb and I am fairly new to Mac in general. I found the Hit Counter button and added it to every page on my website. My question is how do I see how many hits i have? The hit counter does not show up on my published site.
http://jennifercramer.site90.com/Jens_Site./Home.html

The hit counter only appears when you publish to MobileMe.
Search the iWeb Help for ftp to learn what else is not supported.
There are lots of alternative counters you can use.
Search this forum : hit counter

Tracking hits

Please forgive my lack of knowledge as I learn some new tricks.
I recently and successfully changed my .me website to a personal domain name. When I use a stat counter website to view daily hits, the count seems about right compared to before the switch. But, when I try to see where the referring url is from, every one has my .me address as the referring url. Obviously, this doesn't help me understand from where my traffic is coming.
Is there a way to resolve this problem?
Thanks. Bill

What stat counter are you using and what page(s) are they located on? Are you using your domain name as the URL for the sta tcounter or the actual full URL to the page. I would use the full URL to the page. I have StatCounter counters on the first page of several of my sites and get all the detailed info about the visitor. Since I have domain name masking only the first page is needed.

How to track scenes viewed and display image A or image B based on scenes viewed

I have an interactive story divided into scenes. At the end of each scene a button appears. This occurs on a frame on the timeline.
There are two different buttons that might appear based on whether a prior scene has been viewed or not.
For example, there are Scene_1 and Scene_2. At the end of Scene_2 one of two buttons will appear. The buttons will be either "Go see Scene_1" or "Return to Main Menu".
If the user has already seen Scene_1, Flash will know that and automatically go to the frame in Scene_2 that contains the button "Return to Main Menu".
Conversely, if the user has not seen Scene_1, Flash will know and automatically go to the frame in Scene_2 that contains the button "Go see Scene_1".
I imagine there would be an action frame at the end of Scene_2 that will contain the as2 code to enable this action.
Perhaps something like, but probably not at all like the following:
if ("Scene_1", last frame == true){gotoAndPlay("frame#");}else{gotoAndPlay("frame#");}
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Jerry T

create an array. at the end of each scene push the data you need to judge that scene's been viewed. use that array at the end of each scene to determine what buttons to present.
