I would like to create a web page, which documents manually-inputted data about user permissions, that looks like below, which is really pulling data out of a MySQL table.
The way it should act is that whenever someone updates the table to overwrite a value, the old values are stored in a log as a "past revision" -- Which I have no problem on the database side, but I want those past revisions to show up behind the current data on the website, as seen below.
Someone needs to be able to see the current data at a glance, but also the past revisions that expand somehow when clicked. I want this done without having the page refreshed, so maybe jQuery or some active scripting?
That's the heart of the question here, is what technology can easily accomplish the needs of this interface? What do you guys recommend? Examples would be very beneficial. Thanks in advance.
You may try out SVG (along with some jquery for some rich interface):

I'm very new to Microsoft CRM, so please fix me if i'm wrong.
I have a business app that has the old web interface.
I don't want to setup a new solution for a client and provide a new api.
A want to reuse what is already there and adjust what data I will get when I request some project query.
My problem is that I cannot find where the schema is defined.
Can someone point me where to look for it?
Right now the api is working and I can retrieve data without problems, but there are some missing fields that are present CRM and not accessible via api. And my goal is to provide those fields
Thanks
go to make.powerapps.com
on right hand side select your env (dev/Test/Prod)
after that select solution on left hand side
then scroll down complete list you will find default solution
once you visit default solution, It hold almost entire system schema and so on. For example tables, it's fields and so on.
there are many other ways, but this should be a good starting point.
Note: It is not recommended to make changes directly under default solution, In fact it is bad way of making changes.
I'm looking at frameworks and CMSs for a project we are starting, a website that needs to support localised content.
Laravel looks good and certainly allows you to localise UI content, but it doesn't seem to natively support the localisation of content stored in a database. This seems surprising, I'm wondering if I'm overlooking something? (CakePHP, for example, has a TranslateBehavior for this purpose).
Edit To be clear, I'm asking if there's anything baked into Laravel to handle this, I'm aware I could code equivalent functionality but think that that would be a fair amount of extra work.
Modifying your data as it enters or leaves the database is fairly easy.
If you store the translation key in the database, you can translate when you pull the data out. Use getter and setter methods in the model. You may also want to look at Model Events.
I'm trying to learn some basic knowledge of jsp, suppose that I have a project, in this project, after signing in, I have a Main.jsp with a calendar or a dropdown list in it, when selecting a date, I'll change the UI based on the data from database.
I can put all relevant data into request after signing in, and use JSTL in Main.jsp, but if the data is huge, this doesn't sound like a good idea, right?
Back to the old age when there's no JSTL or AJAX, how does jsp developer deal with this? And what is the best practice nowadays?
Thanks.
If you are talking to render about without JSTL or AJAX, the only option i see is to submit/send the form to server and get it back with updated view, but yes it will cost a lot in terms of performance.
I think for your use case:
1) you can get the data from server via AJAX on every update,
2) or, if the data is not customer dependent and is fixed in terms of UI, you can load it lazily in background, and change the view immediately on the user action.
I would like to build a chrome extension (CE) that pulls data from a ruby db for a specific user. So, in a basic example, if an user submits their favorite color as 'red' and sport as 'tennis' into the db from the core website, when they click the CE, 'red' and 'tennis' will show up no matter where they are on the internet.
Any guidance on how to build something like this? Seems quite simple but am not sure how the CE files fit in with the ruby folder framework.
Also, is it possible to write to a ruby database from a popped out CE? i.e. - submitting 'red' and 'tennis' from the CE to the ruby database to go along with the previous example. Any guidance?
Cheers
This is a very general question so it sounds like you will need to learn a lot. Which can be a good thing :)
Here are the general steps you need:
Look into building an API for your ruby application. This will allow you to get data from your database. For example, you can
make an app where you go to http://yoursite.com/api/favorites and that will return a list of all favorites as JSON. Then in your Chrome Extension you can parse the JSON and display the results to the user. You will probably want to do this using an ajax call (see jquery.ajax for an easy way to use ajax).
Assuming you want user accounts, your user will need to be logged in. Then you can use your user's cookies to verify that they are logged in and show them custom info. i.e. going to http://yoursite.com/api/favorites will just show the favorites for that user, not for everyone.
Finally, submitting things to the database...you can have another route where users can send stuff. For example, if you go to http://yoursite.com/api/favorites/add?color=red then it will add the color red to that user's favorites. You will need to write all the logic for adding stuff to the database...again, it might help you to go through a rails tutorial and then look at building an API.
Related to #3, look into RESTful APIs. A good convention is that if you issue a GET request, you're asking for data, but if you issue a POST request, you are adding data (in your case, creating a new favorite).
Finally, for terminology: it's not a "ruby" database, it's just a database. You can access a database using almost any language, and it sounds like you are accessing it using ruby right now :)
If you only need to store data for one machine browsing anywhere online, chrome has a storage api that would work great.
If you do need a ruby server, I would recommend looking at sinatra.
I am using mongo db in my yii project.
I am newbie in yii and mvc. I need to show some fields from database to user. And also allow them to edit those fields when they click edit. From what I know so far, I need a modal to create form. Modal should extend CActiveRecord (because I am allowing edit).
But I have no clue how this is going to work with mongodb ? Its very differnt from mysql (structure and fields are not definite in mongodb). Some users have field (column) abc while some do user do not have it.
I am looked into the mongodbsuite for yii. But its very hard for me to understand that at this level.
I am willing to write my own custom code, if someone can give me a direction. (or I'll have to write my own code destroying the feel of yii/mvc. Fetching everything and inserting into textboxes and then allow users to edit those)
I think this extension will help you. Pls check - YIIMongoDBSuite
What i suggest instead of writing your own code and doing testing to make it work, it is always better to shift to mysql,oracle or anything that Yii supports. it would save life
Yii Supports
SQLite
mysql
PostgreSQL
SQL Server
Oracle
It might be worth asking this question on the yiiframework forum
http://www.yiiframework.com/forum/
where there seem to be people actively using yii and mongodb.
