Urgent question on styling forms and best approach to building them in BC

Hi I need some guidance on forms and adding the styling to them
Thsi page I have created in reflow
http://www.beadmanso…LS_LP/assets/spstudioslf1.html
Here is the same page were I have added a BC Form
http://www.beadmansolutions.co.uk/SPStudios_2LS_LP/assets/spstudioslf.html
I need some advice to whether this can be styled and what is the best approach to go about this?
Many thanks Chris

But I'm intrigued... Given that you're completely au fait with PHP/MySQL solutions, what prompted you to integrate a Wordpress blog on your own site when you could have built one for yourself quickly and easily?
Several reasons:
I originally installed it in 2006, because I wanted to find out what all the fuss about WordPress was about.
I wanted to learn how to integrate a WordPress theme with the CSS for the rest of my site, so they would have an integrated look.
I don't blog very often (only six times so far this year).
The commenting and moderation system is very well organized. I didn't see much point in reinventing the wheel.
It's only a small section of my site. Most other pages aren't database-driven, but they do use a lot of PHP includes and conditional logic.
Why would any of us mortals bother building PHP/MySql blogs if guys as adept as you are using Wordpress?
If you want a blog, WordPress presents you with a ready-made solution that's very easy to set up. What's not so easy is modifying and styling it. That's where a good knowledge of PHP and CSS are essential. Also, I'd say that WordPress is not suitable for a lot of sites. That's why I don't use it for the other parts of my site.

  • Best approach for building dialogs based on Java Beans

    I have a large amount of Java Beans with several properties each. These represent all the "data" in our system. We will now build a new GUI for the system and I intend to reuse the beans as far as possible. My idea is to automatically generate the configuration dialogs for each bean using the java.beans package.
    What is the best approach for achieving this? Should I use PropertyEditors or should I make my own dialog-generator using the Introspetor class or are there any other suitable solutions?
    All suggestions and tips are very welcome.
    Thanks!

    Definitely, it is better for you to use JTable. Why not try it?

  • Is Dynamic Link best approach toward building/integrating AE title sequences for PP TV Master?

    I’m attempting to create my first TV Pilot using Premiere Pro and After Effects using down converted 4k 29.97 -1080P 29.97 for the full screen portions which I have now roughly arranged in Premiere Pro. I would appreciate advice and any useful links toward, how should I best approach building the show’s title sequences???
    Reading comments about work flow here, I’m thinking I should start my title builds in After Effects in equivalent 4K 29.97 set up (still finding the AE setting for do this confusing?) then possibly creating  “a composition right in AE and then import it to PrPro project via Adobe Dynamic Link -> Import After Effects Composition...”
    Does this sound about right? Any tips/links would be greatly appreciated by this FCP user in transitioning over to PP/AE. I also have Mocha for AE but have yet to explore how to do three way work flows...Any links on that would be greatly appreciated as well.
    Thanks for your input guys. This forum has already proved so useful in making the FCP transition and learning these great new tools!
    Best,

    AE is obviously awesome tool for titling!
    When you create your brand new AE comp, dialog box with ALL settings appears.

  • When I duplicate or copy slides, my custom theme images turn into question marks.  Why, and how can I copy themes with slides?

    When I duplicate or copy slides, my custom theme images turn into big grey boxes with an 'x' through them and a question mark in the middle in their new destination.  When I go look at the master slides, I see that there are now two sets of masters, one for the my custom theme and a new one just like it, but with no images.
    How can I copy (or duplicate) my slides?

    OK, got it ...  the Power ON Factory reset procedures might have changed with GB ... 
    To get to a Factory reset using the Power up method:
    1.  Power Off phone
    2. Press & Hold the HOME Button
    3. Press and Hold the Power ON button.
    You come up to the Triangle with the Exclamation mark & android guy.
    Press BOTH the Up and Down Buttons at the same time.  This brings up the Blue menu of options.
    use the Up/Down arrows to scroll thru the choices. Press the POWER Button to Select the menu item you choose.
    You can harmlessly test this and just choose to Reboot without doing anything, just to see how it works in case you ever need to do this in the future.
    edit:  It was concluded in the test group that they changed this process to align it with the new DX2 as the camera button isn't hard-wired like it is in the DX. So likely they just wanted to make this process the same for both platforms.  At least it sounds like a good reason...

  • Questions about Objects, pointers, and the memory that loves them

    Hey,
    This is all just a theoretical discussion so do understand that the code itself is not germane to the topic.
    I have been mulling over the whole object release/retain/copy thing and need to understand a bit more the real inner workings of the beast. The catalyst for this is the repetitional fervor that most books on the subject of Objective C have employed. Yet they all seem to fail in a complete explanation of the whys and wherefores so that one can determine on her own the correct implementation of this.
    Let's say I have an Object. For the fun of it it is an instance of NSObject and we'll call it myObject.
    When I "create" this object thusly:
    NSObject *myObject = [[NSObject alloc] init];
    What I, in fact get back is a pointer to the object in question, yes?
    So when I "seemingly" add this object to an array like:
    NSArray *myArray = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObject:myObject];
    What is actually placed in the array? is it another pointer to the original object created by myObject or is it a pointer to the pointer of myObject?
    The reason I ask this is because I have run into a situation where some previous instructions on the subject have caused errors. I was told that if I did something like this and then passed the array to a calling method that I could release this array and it would then be the responsibility of the calling method to handle the memory. Further more if I place an object into an array and then copy it into another object of the same type as the original then I could release the array and still have the reference to the first object in the second object. When I have done this I get unpredictable results, sometimes the original object is there and sometimes it isn't
    At what point should I release the array, after it is passed to the calling method (with the use of an autorelease) or when the class that it is encapsulated in is done?
    Sorry about the length of this but I can't believe that I would be the only one that would be helped by such a discussion.

    etresoft,
    Thanks for the detailed reply. I wish I could say that I wasn't still a bit confused by this. I thought I had this down after going through the lessons. It seems to not be working in practice the way that it works in theory.
    My current project is an example
    In a class I have declared a couple of ivars thusly:
    NSMutableString *source;
    NSMutableString *destination;
    @property (nonatomic, retain) NSMutableString *source;
    @property (nonatomic, retain) NSMutableString *destination;
    This is followed by the appropriate @synthesize directives.
    in the init method for my class I have the following:
    source = [[NSMutableString alloc] initWithString:@"customer"];
    destination = [[NSMutableString alloc] initWithString:@"home"];
    in a method triggered by a button click I have the following:
    if (sender == sourcePop){
    source = [sourcePop titleOfSelectedItem];
    }else{
    destination = [destinationPop titleOfSelectedItem];
    NSLog(@"SOURCE-%@", source);
    NSLog(@"DESTINATION-%@", destination);
    When I run the code and change the source selection the console reads the correct value for what is in the source popupbutton and "home" for the destination. If I then change the destination popupbutton I get a crash and nothing written to the console.
    Placing a breakpoint at the beginning of the "if" and running shows me that just before the crash the source ivar is reported as "out of scope." There are no release or autorelease statements for this ivar anywhere in the class. Yet if I change the line that sets the ivar to the value of the popupbutton to this:
    [source = [sourcePop titleOfSelectedItem] retain];
    The debugger will have the correct value for the ivar and when run normally there is no crash.
    I would assume that the problem is that the ivar is being released but I am not the one releasing it. Why does this behavior happen? Shouldn't the retain count still be 1 since the @property directive has it and there is no release in the code? Or is it that the statement that sets the ivar to the value of the popup really just setting it to the pointer and it is the popup that is somehow being released?
    Is there something else that I should be doing?

  • AIR Intrinsic Classes-Tried and Proven Approach to building AIR applications   in the Flash CS3 IDE

    Hi everyone,
    For all of you out there who would like to develop AIR
    applications
    from the Flash CS3 IDE but aren't sure how to get those pesky
    intrinsic
    classes working, I have a technique that you can work with to
    create
    your classes and make fully functional AIR applications.
    First of all, those solutions out there that list
    "intrinsic" functions
    in their class definitions won't work. That keyword has been
    taken out
    and simply won't work. The "native" keyword also doesn't work
    because
    Flash will reject it. The solution is to do dynamic name
    resolution at
    runtime to get all the classes you need.
    Here's a sample class that returns references to the "File",
    "FileStream", and "FileMode" classes:
    package com.adobe{
    import flash.utils.*;
    import flash.display.*;
    public class AIR extends MovieClip {
    public static function get File():Class {
    try {
    var classRef:*=getDefinitionByName('flash.filesystem.File');
    } catch (err:ReferenceError) {
    return (null);
    }//catch
    return (classRef);
    }//get File
    public static function get FileMode():Class {
    try {
    var
    classRef:*=getDefinitionByName('flash.filesystem.FileMode');
    } catch (err:ReferenceError) {
    return (null);
    }//catch
    return (classRef);
    }//get FileMode
    public static function get FileStream():Class {
    try {
    var
    classRef:*=getDefinitionByName('flash.filesystem.FileStream');
    } catch (err:ReferenceError) {
    return (null);
    }//catch
    return (classRef);
    }//get FileStream
    }//AIR class
    }//com.adobe package
    I've defined the package as com.adobe but you can call it
    whatever you
    like. You do, however, need to import "flash.utils.*" because
    this
    package contains the "getDefinitionByName" method. Here I'm
    also
    extending the MovieClip class so that I can use the extending
    class
    (shown next) as the main Document class in the Flash IDE.
    Again, this is
    entirely up to you. If you have another type of class that
    will extend
    this one, you can have this one extend Sprite, Math, or
    whatever else
    you need (or nothing if it's all the same to you).
    Now, in the extending class, the Document class of the FLA,
    here's the
    class that extends and uses it:
    package {
    import com.adobe.AIR;
    public class airtest extends AIR{
    public function airtest() {
    var field:TextField=new TextField();
    field.autoSize='left';
    this.addChild(field);
    field.text="Fileobject="+File;
    }//constructor
    }//airtest class
    }//package
    Here I'm just showing that the class actually exists but not
    doing much
    with it.
    If you run this in the Flash IDE, the text field will show
    "File
    object=null". This is because in the IDE, there really is no
    File
    object, it only exists when the SWF is running within the
    Integrated
    Runtime. However, when you run the SWF as an AIR application
    (using the
    adl.exe utility that comes with the SDK, for example), the
    text field
    will now show: "File object=[object File]". Using this
    reference, you
    can use all of the File methods directly (have a look here
    for all of
    them:
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/labs/flex/3/langref/flash/filesystem/File.html).
    For example, you can call:
    var appResource:File=File.applicationResourceDirectory;
    This particular method is static so you don't need an
    instance. If you
    do (such as when Flash tells you the property isn't static),
    simply
    create an instance like this:
    var fileInstace:File=new File();
    fileInstance.someMethod('abc'); //just an example...read the
    reference
    for actual function calls
    Because the getter function in the AIR class returns a Class
    reference,
    it allows you to perform all of these actions directly as
    though the
    File class is part of the built in class structure (which in
    the
    runtime, it is!).
    Using this technique, you can create references to literally
    *ALL* of
    the AIR classes and use them to build your AIR application.
    The beauty
    of this technique is its brevity. When you define the class
    reference,
    all of the methods and properties are automatically
    associated with it
    so you don't need reams of code to define each and every
    item.
    There's a bit more that can be done with this AIR class to
    make it
    friendlier and I'll be extending mine until all the AIR
    classes are
    available. If anyone's interested, feel free to drop me a
    line or drop
    by my site at
    http://www.baynewmedia.com
    where I'll be posting the
    completed class. I may also make it into a component if
    there's enough
    interest. To all of you who knew all this already, I hope I
    didn't waste
    your time.
    Happy coding,
    Patrick

    Wow, you're right. The content simply doesn't show up at all.
    No
    JavaScript or HTML parsing errors, apparently. But no IE7
    content.
    I'll definitely have to look into that. In the meantime, try
    FireFox :)
    I'm trying to develop a panel to output AIR applications from
    within the
    Flash IDE. GSkinner has one but I haven't been able to get it
    to work
    successfully. Mine has exported an AIR app already so that's
    a step in
    the right direction but JSFL is a tricky beast, especially
    when trying
    to integrate it using MMExecute strings.
    But, if you can, create AIR applications by hand. I haven't
    yet seen an
    application that allows you to change every single option
    like you can
    when you update the application.xml file yourself. Also, it's
    a great
    fallback skill to have.
    Let me know if you need some assistance with AIR exports.
    Once you've
    done it a couple of times, it becomes pretty straightforward.

  • Question on Swing, MVC and Events (Best Practices)

    Hi,
    I'm making a Swing application trying to follow the MVC pattern. To that end, I have an ApplicationView class and an ApplicationController class (as well as a DataModel). Obviously, I want to have the view as loosely coupled to the controller as possible so I can swap out the GUI later on if I want to. To that end, my controller is creating an instance of this view and passing it via its constructor a sub-class of ActionListener I created. This sub-class is an inner class of the model and basically handles all the button clicks and menu selections from the view and responds accordingly. My question is, is this the best approach or can someone reccomend a better way? Thanks in advance.

    Basically I have the same question, and I have frenetically been looking for a good answer to this... I've found that a common practice is to use actionlisteners (actually, all kinds of listeners) as nested classes in the GUI-code, also use a separate actionlistener for each event, e.g. having one actionlistener to handle events fired from one specific button, another actionlistener for another button etc.
    But this inevitally means that you get the GUI-code (more or less) interwoven with the source-code of your application. The positive effects of this is of course easy access to variables and graphical components in the rest of the code. But the downside is a potentially hard code to read and debug, also you make it difficult to separate the GUI-code from the source-code, if you for instance wanted to use the same GUI in another application.
    Take a look at the following code example (ListDemo.java) that uses several nested listener classes:
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/list.html
    to download the app:
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/example-1dot4/ListDemo.java
    Well this isn't perhaps much of an answer, it may however shed some light on matter.
    I would very much like to elaborate on this subject, so if anyone knows or has any practical examples of how to best use listeners and Swing-applications please feel free to reply this message or e-mail me personally at [email protected]
    All contributions are truly welcommed!
    Thanks

  • What is the best approach to handle multiple FK with single table.

    If two tables are joined with each other with more than one ways, for example
    MAIN table is (col1, col2,....coln, person_creator_id, person_modifier_id)
    PERSON table is (person_id, name, address,........ phone) etc
    At database level PERSON_CREATOR_FK and PERSON_MODIFIER_FK are defined.
    Objective is to create a report that shows
    col1, col2...coln, person creator name, person modifier name
    If above two objects are imported with FKs in a EUL and discoverer plus is used to create above report. On first inclusion of person name discoverer plus will ask you to pick the join (provided the checkbox to disable this feature is not checked). Once you pick 'person creator' join it will never allow you to pick person modifier name.
    One solution is two create a custom folder with query like
    select col1, col2,...coln,
    pc.name, pc.address,.... pc.phone
    pm.name, pm.address,.... pm.phone
    from main m,
    person pc,
    person pm
    where m.person_id_creator = pc.person_id
    and m.person_id_modifier = pm.person_id
    Second solution is to import the PERSON folder twice in EUL (optionally named one as perosn_creator and other as person_modifier) and manually define one join per table. i.e. join MAIN with PERSON_CREATOR on person_creator_fk and join MAIN with PERSON_MODIFIER table using person_modifier_fk.
    Now discoverer plus will let you drag Name from each person folder without needing to resolve multiple joins.
    Question is, what approach is better OR is there a better way?
    With solution 1 you will not be able to use functions on folder items.
    With solution 2 there is a EUL design overhead of including same object multiple times and then manually defining all join (or deleting unwanted joins), and this could be a problem when you have person_modifier and person_creator in nearly all tables. It could be more complicated if person table is further linked other tables and users want to see that information too. (for instance, if person address is stored in LOCATION table joined with location_id and user want to see both creator address and modifier address....now you will have to create multiple LOCATION folders).
    A third solution could be to register a function in discoverer that return person name when person_id is passed. This will work perfectly for above requirement but a down side is the report will run slower if they need filters on person names (then function will be used in where clause). Also, this solution is very specific to above scenario, it will not work if you want the report developer the freedom to pick any attribute from person table (lets say, person table contain 50 attributes then its not a good idea to register 50 functions).
    Any comments/suggestion will be appreciated.
    thanks

    Hi
    In a roundabout way you have really answered your own question :-)
    In my opinion, the best approach, although by all means not the only approach - see below) would be to have the object loaded as two folders with one join going to the first folder and the second join to the other folder. You would of course name the folders appropriately.
    Here's a workflow that I use all of the time and one that I teach when I'm giving Discoverer Administrator training. It might help you:
    1. Bring in the PERSON folder to begin with
    2. Make all necessary adjustments to bring it up to deployment standard. These adjustments would be: folder name (E.g PERSON_CREATOR), item names, item placement, default positions, default aggregation and so on.
    3. Create or assign the required lists of values
    4. Create any required calculations
    5. Create any required conditions
    6. Create the first join from this folder to MAIN.
    7. Click on the heading for the folder and press CTRL-C.
    8. Click on the heading for the business area and press CTRL-V. A second copy of the folder, complete with all of the adjustments you made earlier will be inserted into the business area.
    Note: joins are not copied, everything else is.
    9. Rename this folder to say PERSON_MODIFIED
    10. Rename the items as appropriate
    11. Add a join from this folder to MAIN - you're done
    Other ideas that I have used and work well would be to use a database view or create a complex folder. Either will work, In both cases you would need to join on some other column other than the ones you referred earlier.
    I hope this helps
    Best wishes

  • InfoPath Forms and Workflows

    Hi
    I have a question regarding InfoPath Form and associated Workflows. This is a timesheet application form where employee fills time sheets and send it to his manager for approval. 
    I have completed the InfoPath Form with 2 views: (1) Employee completes the timesheet per week. (2) The time sheet part is grayed out and there is a comments section for his manager.
    I have deployed this to sharepoint to a form library and started a Simple Approval based workflow at the Form Library Settings. So far so good.
    But in the Approval workflow; can i code logic to identify the staff's manager ? It seems that I have to define a single account from SP Groups to where the workflow will be always routed to. 
    Secondly how do I associate the View 2 to the manager for comments and approval.
    Any pointers on the above will be very useful in my implementation.

  • Best approach to "migrate" from BEX reports to Webi reports ?

    Hello,
    i have read lots of documents regarding best practices on how to built webi reports and universes on top of BW.
    But i can't find any document about best approach, not in performance way of thinking but in best way of using reports.
    i mean: when end users are coming from bex reports (where they can drill down through hierarhies and use free filters ) to webi reports (where layout is quite beatiful and user can change it easely), this is not the same way of consuming reports.
    I come from BO world and are new on reporting on top of BW.
    for me webi is good for quite static layout reporting where data is clear and available.of course you can have prompts for interactivy and more accurate reporting.  Drill down is just a functionality but is not the real purpose of the report tool.
    So ,according to me there is a gap between both tools (BEX and WEBI) but end users are the same.
    So i 'm wondering if you have any feedback for the best approach to build webi reports where end users are coming from bex reporting.
    And how to choose between prompts, drill-down (with available filters on top of the window), fold/unfold and input controls or just having diffrent levels of hierarchies in the table/ section/ breaks but without drill down (because if you drill down, report begins weird with diffrent levels) ...?
    So , if you have any feedback , advise....
    thanks in advance,
    Rgds,

    Hi,
      WEBI don't replace BEX reports, is for different audience, in fact BEX is for OLAP reports and analysis.

  • XML Forms and Posting Directly to iView

    Hey Everyone,
    This is my first time posting a question on SDN, so please forgive me if I leave anything out.
    I have a question regarding XML Forms and iViews. We are using EP 6.40 SP12.
    I would like to have an XML Form filled out and have it's contents sent directly to an iView which is located on the opening screen of our Portal. The scenario is that every Tuesday the form will be filled out, saved and will appear on the user's Portal. An appropriate folder structure has been created in KM to hold all the forms, etc...
    Any help would be much appreciated,
    Cheers
    Rav

    Hi Ravinder,
    After generating the forms,you have to create iViews for the Forms,Authoring iview and Render List iView.
    These iViews can be assigned to users,or assigned to some page using Delta link.
    The updated news will be available as a List on the Browser iView,which can be clicked to drill details.
    The properties are set in the iView properties of Layout Set ,for example for authoring iView
    Layout Set = NewsExplorer
    For render List iView
    Layout Set = NewsBrowser

  • Deploying forms and reports with parameters from portal

    hi , how do i build forms and reports from database limiting them with parameters from the login details on the portal on my application server.

    I had the same problem.
    I resolve with a new third party tool:
    RunDev
    I've found it on:

  • Best way for building an application main frame

    I'm about to program a desktop application.
    The main frame will have menus, toolbar, status bar etc.
    There will be a lot of interaction between the menus, toolbar buttons and other custom gui components (such as an editor).
    My question is which is the best way for building it.
    Cramming all the code in one class file is out of the question.
    I thought about making my own custom JFrame and add API functions like for it so different GUI elements can be accessed.
    Each component which will be manipulated will be in its own class file with the constructor accepting a reference to my custom JFrame object which it is contained in.
    Any suggestions on the matter would be of great help since I've never done extensive Swing programming before.
    P.S.
    The application makes extensive use of RMI.
    What considerations should I take into account (except using SwingUtilities.invokeLater()) ?

    Hi,
    I have replied on this subject somewhere else today but what I do is have one simple entry point where I just instanciate a JFrame.
    On that frame I have a main JPanel. On that panel I add new objects like JPanels, tabs etc.
    I keep each new panel in a separate source as it is easier when the application grows, and it will. That also means that several programers can work with the same application without interfearing each other.
    I hope you understand what I mean the the thing is to split up the code into several sources.
    It may not suit everyone but I found this approach to be the best for me.

  • Best approach to upgrade MaxDB AND move to new OS release

    What would be the best approach to upgrade Contentserver MaxDB 7.5 on W2K server (32-Bit) to MaxDB 7.7 on Windows 2008 Server x64 (R2?)?
    1.  a) Upgrade MaxDB on the existing installation
         b) Create a complete backup
         c) Install latest release on new machine
         b) recover with backup from existing installation on new machine
    2. a)  Create a complete backup from existing installation
        b) Install same release on new machine
        c) recover with backup from existing installation on new machine
        d) upgrade to latest release on new machine
    Both approaches share the problem that you have to run a OS/DB release constellation that is not released according to SAP PAM. The second approach has the advantage that the source system will not be touched and is still available in the original status if something fails. But the main issue is the compatibility question (7.5 not released for W2008, 7.7 not released for W2K)
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Matthias

    Natalia,
    thanks for your answer.
    > Do you have Content Server 6.40 ?
    yes.
    > the MAXDB version 7.5 is not released on W2008
    neither is 7.7 on W2K.
    > I recommend to go with 1 option.
    Which would be this one:
    >>1. a)Upgrade MaxDB on the existing installation
    So can I upgrade to 7.7 on W2K though it is not released for this combination?
    Best Regards,
    Matthias

  • Best approach to transfer and transform data between two Oracle Instances

    Let me first preface this post with the fact that I am an Oracle newb.
    The current problem I am trying to solve is how to quickly transfer data from a customers legacy database into a new normalized destination that is modeled differently than the legacy data. So, the data not only has to be transferred, but also transformed (into normalized tables)
    We have discovered, the hard way, that reading the data using a C++ application and performing inserts (even with indexing and constraints disabled) is just way too slow for what we need. We are dealing with around 20 million records here. I need to determine what the best approach extracting this data out of the source and inserting it into the destination. Any comments or tips are greatly appreciated.
    Note: I have read about SQL*Loader and mentioned it to management, but they seem resistant to this approach. It's not totally out of the question though.

    Oracle has a lot of technologies that fall under the general heading of "replication" to choose from. Going from a database to a flat file and back to another database is generally not the most efficient solution-- it's generally much easier to go straight from one database to another.
    Oracle provides materialized views, Streams, and Change Data Capture (CDC)-- any of these would be able to give your new system incremental feeds of data from the old system's data and could be used by whatever routines you write to transform the data between data models.
