I wanna get your opinoun for my situation.My customer has excel files which is edited daily by herself.My customer wanna reach and edit from all devices like tablet pc,laptop pc or mobile phone inside her company .(it is local network)
One solution I can find is install a excel server using the share point.in that way I am planing to reach her excel file via browser from all devices and edited.
but I am not famillier with the share point.and no idea how make an excel page available on the local network.
My question is what should be the best solition on this issue.is the using share point is only solution.?whats your opinoun on this issue.
If Internet is also available on all devices, you can go for a ready made solution of Google Drive, It will sync automatically.. But the Company IT policy could be a Constraint

Just getting into mobile app development, and I have a couple of very basic questions relating to the use of a large prepopulated SQLite database. It's not a typical for-public-consumption app that captures a little bit of user data.
The app would be deployed to some employees of the company, not to the general public. We would like to attach their phones via USB cable to a PC and copy a 300MB SQLite db file onto their phones.
We would like to write a number of apps that know how/where to find that db file in the phone's file system, and issue selects against it. It would be read-only.
Is that scenario feasible with Appcelerator? Can the database file be located outside the folder structure of the app so that multiple apps could use it?
On both iOS and Android apps are sandboxed and can only access their own data. On Android you could use the external storage but then every app would be able to access it. Also, since on iOS the app won't be able to open the SQLite database from the read-only application resources, it will be copied to the application data directory, meaning the app will be 300+300MB in size. You better download the files once the app is installed.
I have a simple Wordpress website that is created using twelve twenty. I need to transfer it from server to my PC to be able to edit it and transfer it back to server. Now that I copied wordpress directory from server to my PC it asks me to reinstall it. How can I do it? Am I missing something? Is it possible to work on website locally and once it is done transger it to the server?
Reason for doing this are:
-don't want to loss data for wrong doing things.
-have a copy of website on local machine.
-easier to work on the local machine offline rather than bing online and accssing the server.
From my point of view , i would suggest u to back-up full website and database from server [every hosting control panels has option to backup same]
Connect via ftp and edit ur files.. there to make lots of changes when u want to move from local to server or server to local.
cheers!!!
Editing the files on a live site directly is a terrible, terrible idea. It invites any number of points of failure. If you're actively developing a site things will break at some point - it's part of the developing process - and you definitely want to break things locally, not on a live site.
There's actually several steps involved, all of which are too long to go into great detail, but here's an overview of what is required along with a few links to get you started. The first time you do it seems laborious, but once you figure it all out it actually only takes 10 minutes.
Firstly you will need a local environment MySQL and PHP environment to install it. As you're on PC look at WAMP; here's a fairly good tutorial on installing it.
If you have a lot of content on the live site you might want to import it into your local environment; you'll need to export the database (probably using PHPMyAdmin) and then import it into your local database. You will need to update a couple of database options so that it points towards your localhost. It's basically the reverse of the process detailed here: you'll be changing your-site.com to localhost:8888. If your site is relatively simple you could skip this stage*
Now you should be able to update your local copy of wp-config.php with the database connect details for your local database (usually it's just localhost for the host name and root for the user and password`). With that in place you should now be able to install WP.
Now that it's installed you can edit away to your heart's content on your local copy, safe in the knowledge that anything you do on your local copy doesn't affect your live copy. When you're ready to push your changes live you can use FTP to copy your local files to your live environment.
* For a lot of projects I don't actually go to the trouble of synching databases - if there's a live site that the client can change the content on it often becomes a futile exercise attempting to synch a database with a moving target. In those instances I'll just use a comprehensive set of test content that contains every conceivable type of content that could possible inserted in to the live site.
your going to love working on your project from your locally. Here's an article I found on wpmudev http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/how-to-install-wordpress-locally-for-pcwindows-with-xampp/ which gives you a step by step guide for PC / Windows.
I'm making a web app. Part of it includes the automatic generation of word documents (letters). Those documents need to be opened by the end user, then saved back to the server once they've finished editing.
I tried using webdav for this but the only browser I could actually launch word from (using active-x) was IE. I also found a plugin for firefox, but for Chrome I couldn't find a way that worked.
Next I thought about making the clients map a drive to webdav (or similar), then offering up the files as file://... links, but that only works if the webpage is on the local machine.
Before I resort to ditching word (the clients won't like this) and using CKEditor or TinyMCE, is there another way?
In short, I'd like to have links to a document on the page, which when clicked are opened in word, but the file should stay remote - and then when saving, it's the remote file that gets updated.
I've also looked at Zoho but it could be very expensive for this project, plus I don't think it can be white-labelled and also looks a bit old fashioned, UI wise.
Maybe Sharepoint can do what I need? Haven't looked at that much. Also thought of making a client app to run in the system tray and deal with things.
If there was a decent way of editing Word docs from within the browser with something like CKEditor/TinyMCE and once finished, conversion back to Word format actually worked 100%, that would suffice.
I'm open to totally fresh ideas if anyone has any...
Currently Chrome, Firefox and Safari support MS Office plugin. They can open and save documents directly to server. I have tested this with MS Office 2007 and MS Office 2007 just about a month ago.
Ideally, your users would be able to use Word natively. Is there any chance you could create an Office Add-In that hooks into the BeforeDocumentSave event, looks for some indicator that the file is associated with your application, and save the updated file to your server?
Saving to the server via the Word Add-In would probably need to include some unique identifier (in addition to file name), so you could overwrite the previous version server-side. Then, if you were using something like SignalR, you could trigger a refresh on the web page when the file was saved successfully (assuming they were still on that web page) on the server (via FileSystemWatcher).
Had same problem myself.
I solved it by setting up a webdav share on the server with digest authentication (SabreDAV), and tied it into the users table on my app backend.
In relation to the client end, I solved accessing this by creating a small java applet which uses the java Desktop class (getDesktop().open()) to open the file. You will need to make sure the path is handled right for the client machine type (Windows, OS X or Linux)
You will also need to get your end users to permanently mount or map the webdav share locally.
I'm building an app in ASP.NET that will store some pictures of objects. The pictures will be uploaded by suppliers and downloaded by subscribers. In between, they will have to be edited before becoming available to subscribers.
The editing involves creating a cropping path tightly around the object in the picture, in which some advanced desktop image software will have to be used I suppose.
My problem is in exchanging pictures between my ASP.NET app and the desktop software in a manner that is easy and transparent for the user.
I've done some thinking and I've come up with:
- Manually downloading and uploading the image (Not much user friendly...)
- An image editing program that can upload to a web service (Haven't found yet...)
- Develop a plug-in for an image editing program (Too advanced...)
I'd appreciate any suggestions you may have, thank you!
It sounds like you need some automation to move files between the web server and a file share. I am assuming that the number of images that need to be processed is pretty large, because if it's not, then the overhead of downloading/re-uploading each would not be that much.
So do the following:
1) Create an API for your web app that lists files that are available, or new files since some date/time, or files that have been marked as "new". The API should probably also allow marking a status on them (so you can tell it when you've finishing pulling something down, and it won't be offered again) if you don't want to trust date/time as an indicator of it being new.
2) Write an app (non-web) that runs on a schedule and uses this API to automatically download files to a shared filesystem area in your local network, and marks them as "downloaded"
The app should also monitor these files (the ones it downloaded & saved to your local share) for changes, and if changed, upload them back to your web app. To do this you may need to keep a database of filenames and modification dates/times.
This shouldn't be too hard to write in whatever language you are using for your web (assume c# or vb). By "API" I just mean, a web page that provides a list in a standardized format (e.g. json) that you can parse with your automation application, and another page that allows posting the file back for re-upload.
I'm assuming that the web server is not your own, or generally, you can't simply have it save the file uploads directly to some area where your image editors can access them. Otherwise you could just do that.
Meanwhile I came out with another possible solution.
I'm thinking of having our own windows app on the editor's computers. This app will be associated with a custom extension. When an editor downloads a file (with this extension) for editing, it will be opened in our application which in turn will open the image in some editor program.
This app will be monitoring the files for changes, and in such case, it will upload these images.
Any thoughts on this?
I need to find photos on external devices like cameras and mobiles connected as USB pendrive. As I don't want to traverse all disks, I thought of looking for specific folders under root or deeper, e.g. DCIM for cameras and start traverse from there.
For cameras the directory structure is specified in the Design rule for Camera File system (DCF) as always using a DCIM directory at root.
But for different mobile brands I did not find any rules. So can you please help me out and post the directory where your photos are stored in when you're mobile is connected as USB pendrive along with yout mobiles brand?
I'm looking for all major brands, like Nokia, LG, Samsung, Sony Erricson, etc. (IPhone connects as camera under 'camera and scanners', so I need to TWAIN it, but that works...)
Thanks a lot!
Lots of ways to get to the images.
Device specific - Needs lots of hardware to test with. An easily unpalatable app could handle getting new devices supported.
Check for known vendor/device id's on USB bus with related info on how to get to data. Some may have proprietary methods for extracting images.
Drive based photos - traverse entire drive makes it future proof, however speed is bad.
For each removable drive in system.
Check for existence of "known" base folders
If found, traverse from base folder
Else, traverse entire drive
TWAIN based photos - not a clue with these
Lookup iphone, would this be for capturing new photos, or actually viewing previously captured photos
My Samsung Omnia gives me the default
DCIM
directory on the root of the assigned drive.
Note that I have to specifically enable USB file transfer on the phone, otherwise all files need to come through the Windows Mobile Device folder.
I know this is a hack but you could try something like this and then record (in a DB) the make/model/handset stats in for future.
in Linux (on the command line) (This is an example)
ls /*/*.jpg
This would look under the first level of directories for any file with a .jpg extension.
ls /*/*/*.jpg
For the second directory
Again this is just a hack and really not advised for production, but for testing to get a working path for a device this might come in handy.
