I want to get information from website and display it in a UITableView.
http://www.uhhospitals.org/rainbowchildren/HealthInformation/SymptomChecker/AbdominalPain.aspx
is the website I am trying to access.
In the Symptom Description tab page, Definition is a section in table view and causes is another section.
In the 'should I call' tab page,I want each of the conditions(points) to be listed in a cell and the their heading would be titleForHeader for that section.
Initially I was manually storing all the data in different tables and I was trying to access them. I was really excited to find this website. Now I am clueless how to use the data in my application. Any idea on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.
If there is any tutorial that I can read and understand, it will really help (I could not hit on a proper one). I read that I could do xml parsing but I am not sure where to find API for this page.
Thanks!

I'm not entirely sure I am asking the question correctly but here goes.
I am trying to view customer data via the REST service. I've gotten the login and and can view the servlet(Response as HTML), atleast i thought it was the servlet, i just realized its just the path to the servlet/start.
I think what I am seeing is just the hardcoded HTML messages that get viewed depending on customer data. Viewing as JSON doesn't work either i get "The content you are trying to view cannot be viewed as JSON"
I'm sorry I don't know enough to ask this properly
Well, it was a n00b mistake. I didnt call the action prior to loading the page so there was no data to ever load.
I'm trying to scrape these listings and provide more exposure for these job listings on a site that belongs to a client of mine. The issue is that I need to be able to link to the specific job listing in order for the job seeker to apply. This is the page I'm trying to save listing links from.
It would be ideal if I could save an address for the job seeker to click on to see the original listing and then apply.
What is this website doing to not feature a URL for these pages
Is it possible to provide a listing specific address
If that's possible how could I generate that address?
If I can't get a specific address I think I could get it so that the user clicks a link that triggers an internal script on my client's site which takes the listing ID and searches the site I found that listing on, and then redirects the user to that specific listing.
The downside to this is that the user will have to wait a little while depending on how far back the listing is on a directory. I could put some kind of progress bar with a pleasant "Searching for your listing! Thanks for being patient" message.
If I can avoid having to do this, though, that'd be great!
I'm using Nokogiri and Mechanize.
The page you refer to appears to be generated by an Oracle product, so one would think they'd be willing to construct a web form properly (and with reference to accessibility concerns). They haven't, so it occurs to me that either their engineer was having a bad day, or they are deliberately making it (slightly) harder to scrape.
The reason your browser shows no href when you hover over those links is that there isn't one. What the page does instead is to use JavaScript to capture the click event, populate a POST form with some hidden values, and call the submit method programmatically. This can cause problems with screen-readers and other accessibility devices, as well as causing problems with the way in which back buttons have to re-submit the page.
The good news is that constructions of this kind can usually be scraped by creating a form yourself, either using a real one on a third party page, or via a crawler library. If you post the right values to the target URI, reverse-engineered from examining the page's script, the resulting document should be the "linked" page you expect.
I was hoping someone can help me fix an issue. When someone posts a link to my joomla created website, they get the heading "Whats New?", which is my default article page for the site. It is the current blog articles written.
For example, if someone posted my link on facebook, it would look like this:
Whats New?
MyDomain.com
Description of website goes here...
Everything looks great except for the "Whats New?". Is there a way to put My webpage name instead of the name of the default page? How about showing an image? When posted on facebook, there is just text and no image used.
Thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated
Facebook uses Opengraph data to build those posts. If facebook isn't offered OpenGraph data, then it will use its own methods to try and find the information it needs. Sometimes with useless results. There are a lot of options to fix this. Joomla extensions has a few opengraph extensions for you to install, some of those should work fine. You can always write something yourself or add the data in your template. But don't expect results right away, because facebook caches those media objects for some time.
Open graph: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/
Joomla Extensions: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/site-management/seo-a-metadata/open-graph
There are more ways to fix this, but this is probably the easiest for you. Hope it helps.
Good Luck.
In the Joomla backend, do the following:
Open the menu item the the article is assigned to.
On the right hand side, open the Page Display Options panel
Add whatever you like to the Browser Page Title parameter.
Hope this helps
I'm just starting to play around with Orchard CMS. I like what I see so far, but I need to be able to create pages that display record details for data stored in another system. Does any one know if that is possible?
I have a SQL Server database that hold real estate property record information. This information gets displayed on the web. On that same website are informational content pages (FAQs, Contact Us, Home, etc...) What I would like to to is leverage the CMS portion of Orchard for the content pages. Then I would like to write a module using the Orchard that would get the real estate info, allow users to search parcels, and display detail pages for each parcel.
If you view the site http://www.sc-pa.com/search you can search by last name "smith" and select one record. That may help illustrate what I need Orchard to do.
Yes, that is possible, but your scenario is way too vague to get into any specifics. Can you elaborate on exactly what you are trying to do: what does the external data look like, where is it stored, how do you want to integrate it into Orchard, do you need any integration with content types and parts, or with search, etc.
One alternative is to expose ur data as web service or odata endpoint and then use jquery to do asynch call to get json data. Then ur home free.
Create a page and put the javascript in that or include a ref to js file.
I need to know if the content being displayed to the user, is for registered only, not public. I think I can't do this trough JDocument or Mainframe, etc. I'm trying to figure this out. Any help on this subject?
Thanks for your attention,
Have a nice day!
You'll need to load the article from the database. JDocument and the Application Mainframe objects control Joomla as a whole, while the article is managed by a component within Joomla.
If you're ultimately trying to modify the article before it's displayed, you can write a Content plugin, which will automatically have the article loaded. If you're trying to do something elsewhere, you'll need to detect when someone is viewing an article, extract the article id, then load the article from the database.
