Is there a way in rhapsody to clear the history of a state upon a certain event?
I want my states to normally have a certain history, but when leaving the outer state and coming back i want to start from scratch.
After much checking, seems the answer is "No".

I am trying to reduce the cooldown on the hearthstone and inscription research spell-like effects. I have identified the hearthstone item template and imported the hearthstone spell into spell_dbc. I have set the spell category cooldown to 1 second, but I am experiencing a strange issue. On use, the hearthstone is set to a 30-minute cooldown and not useable during this cooldown, but on logging out and logging back in, the correct cooldown is displayed and the item is useable once the cooldown has expired. I suspect that the client is tracking the cooldown of the hearthstone independently of the server. But I have no clue where to begin looking to fix this. Has anybody successfully made a change to spell cooldowns, and would you be willing to point me in the right direction?
Thank you!
Not a solution to your problem, but I'm pretty sure that what you are experiencing is actually an intended behavior to discourage hacking.
I think what is really going on is your login credentials are being used to create a secret that is then passed into the rest of their program, which is then used as a reference point for debugging.
Because they know the intended behavior of their own game, they can check to see if the results of arguments sent from your machine are within expected parameters.
And because your modifications fall outside of those parameters, what the developers decided to do was to change the cooldown to something sufficiently annoying to detect who keeps on manually logging out and logging back in again.
I studied programming in college, and I'm telling you that if you know enough to change the cooldowns locally, you should try doing something more productive. Either find another game to play at the same time, or just do something completely different from gaming altogether.
Hope somebody double checks what I have said here for accuracy, because I am curious to know if I am correct about my assessment.
The solution is to delete the client cache.
When I make multiple resumes attempt to a single course the cmi.core.score.raw score is not updated properly.
Suppose there are 5 sections in the course. If the user successfully completes the 2 sections, then exits the score is proper (say 30). While the user resumes the course, it starts with the proper position and even if the user correctly answers all the question correctly, the score is not updating to 100 ( it saves as 70-80 ). It shows the result as failed which is wrong since the user has answered all the questions correctly.
I thought it may be due to the suspend_data max limit posed by SCORM 1.2, but the course resumes at the correct location every time. So I am confused about what may be causing this behavior?
I also tried the same course in scormcloud, there also the same issue persists.
Are there any settings which we need to take care while creating the SCORM 1.2 package which may have caused this issue?
Has anyone faced this issue previously? I googled and couldn't find the appropriate answer. Any help would be appreciated.
Update: I'm attaching the scromcloud launch history image which will clearly show the score value at launch start and end.
The SCO is typically responsible for conducting the "math" portion since it maintains the cmi.core.score section of the student attempt.
You're correct to assume something with the suspend data may not be giving the SCO's capability of determining a history of correct/incorrect but deeper analysis would be required within the logic of the SCO to find out if it fully supported being put back in a position it left off in.
SCORM 1.2 was mostly a 'optional' standard in regards to the support of the Student Attempt. And even though the standard often states there are character limits it typically was optionally enforced by the LMS.
So something to possibly evaluate whats going on within the SCO while using it on a LMS would be to try out the bookmarklet on https://cybercussion.com or see if you can locate the deeper logs on SCORM cloud which show the actual data being stored. Its always possible the suspend data is obfuscated but since you said SCORM 1.2 I'm going to say doubtful. It may be semi-human readable.
Fail that we'd need to dig into the SCO code base to determine how it "puts itself back" after obtaining the suspend data. To do that I'd search the code base for "cmi.suspend_data" to maybe help locate it.
Apologies if this has been asked/solved before. I've done a fair bit of searching but can't seem to find a direct answer to my problem.
I'm still very new to asp/vb coding.
I've created a complex calculator in asp.net using vb.net.
The user fills out a few text boxes with information then clicks the calculate button. The program then accesses an sql 2014 server to collect more information based on information the user has entered, then uses the information to run a few very complex calculations (I don't completely understand the calculations behind it).
It all works fine and is able to give the correct answer, the problem I've found is if there is more than one user accessing the site and they happen to click the calculate button within the same time, whoever clicked the calculate button first gets an error whilst the person who clicked second gets an answer.
I'm not sure if this is to do with how it accesses the sql database for information or if the information is somehow being overridden.
I was hoping this would be a common problem, but can't seem to find anything on it, at least I may not be asking the right question when searching.
Unfortunately for security reasons I'm not able to post any code for it (I'll see if I can get permission) but am hoping that someone has come across something similar and knows a work around. Maybe to have the site wait until the first round of calculations is complete before initiating the second round?
Thanks for your help in advance!
Please make sure that you should not use any shared variable in calculation because shared variables are common for all users. Also check for application variables.
I can understand, but if those public variable's value changed at one place, then after everywhere that variable's value will be new even if you are in middle of some processing.
For some reason we still don't have this feature yet. We can make it work using zip codes, but how about City or State? The Views set of Modules are great and I would love to see Proximity Search options expanded. There are requests for this in the Drupal forums: http://drupal.org/node/489904 but that thread has been stagnant for months. The "fix" is inconsistent and no longer works on my end, using Views and Location series modules. Does anyone know a workaround to this issue? The custom module shown in Drupal forum worked at some point with limitations, but now its no longer displaying any search results. Trying to hit this from any angle -- have the US zipcodes in MySQL database for the former configuration; have Apache SOLR ready to go; even got Spatial SOLR ready to go if that ever picks up. Any help much appreciated.
I think one of the problems is city names are not necessarily unique. (zips are)
You could have the same city in different states.
For states, it's even less reliable because their area can vary a great deal and proximity search around a state would be very unreliable for states which don't have circular shapes.
So the module should have an extra step showing "did you mean.." results in case there are more returned (if possible).
I don't believe there is a workaround, it will require some coding to implement this in views.
I would start in location.views.inc around line #493, adapting the logic for the current zipcode handler. Look for the location_latlon_rough function in location.inc.
May be you have to try geoname module im not sure you should try

Give a try

We are in the process of designing a web site were users can fill an application form and submit it. Once an application is created, it goes through different departments for review.After each review, the department persons log on to the website and update the status of the application. Once review is completed, the application is said to be 'approved'. Also, communication(email) is sent to the applicants updating them about the status of their application.
I am thinking of using Windows Workflow for this application, but am new to it.
Can anyone tell me if it would make sense to use WF for such an app..or would it be an overkill..I was thinking of using a State machine workflow, as each application created goes through different states. One of my major concerns is, this process also involves manual work such as reviewing the application(this could take days) and then updating the status(say by clicking a button on the website). Can workflow handle this kind of thing?
I have gone through many websites, but they talk about very basic examples where states change automatically.But in my case there is a lot of human interaction.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks!!!
Here is a sample on MSDN that describes a very similar workflow that you've described - although they use a Windows Forms client rather than a web client - but those details shouldn't matter given the use of the Workflow Runtime.
I would say that your situation would be well suited to Workflow - long-running workflows are supported by having the runtime automatically persist workflow details at certain points while it runs, so steps that take days or weeks to fulfill are perfectly fine.
"my case there is a lot of human interaction".
That's the easiest kind of thing to build. It's just transactions.
Each stage in the process is a simple web application.
Fetch all items that are waiting at this state. Display them in a list. User picks one.
Display that piece of work. User makes changes. Saves it. Some change will move it to the next state. It's still just an update.
That's it. Nothing fancy.
You just need to very, very clearly define each state.
You must have a simple query that finds work in this state.
You must have a simple update that moves work on to the next state.
The states must be very, very clear and simple definitions. One column with a state name, for example.
The state transition rules, however, may be complicated. If the work is highly manual, it may be as simple as a drop-down list of available states.
If the state transitions are complex, then, perhaps you need something more sophisticated to embody the transition rules. But since it's manual, you don't need much.
Do I need a separate workflow instance for each application created?
I don't know what this can possibly mean. Each "application" that's moving through the pipeline of manual processing steps has a "state" -- the step of the pipeline where it's waiting, right now.
Each application also has a complete history of each state change. I don't know which of this is a "workflow" that could have an instance. They're just states of being of an object.
It is a web application. So it will have some other logic such as view an appln., navigation etc. do I need to accommodate this in the workflow as well?
Yes and No. Yes, each processing stage which show the application so the user at that stage can do whatever value-add thing they do. They add information or they approve information.
Each stage in the workflow is a place where some human being makes a decision and takes an action. So each stage displays all the information the person needs to make the decision. There's no additional view required.
Navigation isn't terribly interesting. People go to pages to see their queues of unprocessed work. I guess you'll have to build a page with some URL's, but there isn't much to that.
Would it be ok to have just a part of the application based on workflow.
Sure. Why not? I'm not sure I understand the question.
Your web apps just queries a queue of stuff out of the database and present that queue of stuff to a person. The person can request details and make changes to a specific item in the queue. One change the person can make will be to move the stuff out of their queue and into someone else's queue.
This isn't very complex. It shouldn't be. What's hard is defining the allowed state changes.
