I have a website that I've been asked to create a hierarchy diagram of. It's a right mess and I'm too lazy to generate one.
Is there a quick online site that could do the job? Or if anyone has any ideas of how to do it quickly. The one requirement is that it needs to be in a hierarchical style.
Apple script to generate Omnigraffle diagram
Generate an XML sitemap first then use the script in the link above. It then automatically creates an Omnigraffle hierarchy, cracking!

I am working on an automation project which consists in generating powerpoint including (e.g. hierarchy or family tree). I am a nuby in this field, terefore I need help to achieve this project.
Thanks for any comments, helps, advices..
I only did research and found nothing conclusive yet
I have to work on building a website in Oracle Apex that should be displayed in multiple languages. Let me decompose this further.
I am assuming that there are two parts to an Apex application
UI & elements of the UI i.e. regions, buttons, tables, page headings
Data
At the moment I need to find answers on how to enable multiple language support for only the UI part of my application. Not the data.
As I can understand, there are two broad based approaches to achieve this.
Use the Apex inbuilt support for changing the UI elements.
Create a solution from scratch that is based on a database driven approach.
IS my understanding correct?
Two more questions
1. Can anyone give me a short brief on in the type of support that Oracle Apex provides for creating multiple versions of webpages / websites for my application? Alternatively just point me in the right direction by providing relevant links etc.
Which one of the above two approaches would you recommend? And Why?
Thanks a ton

Okay, this one I seemed to have solved on my own. The process consists of the following steps
Create a shadow applications for each language other than the language of the primary application.
Export the UI elements from the primary language application into an XML file (XLIFF) for the target language application (the shadow application as mentioned in 1 above).
Edit the XML file and enter the text descriptions for the target language application in the XML file.
Upload the edited XML file to the target application.
For a detailed explanation look at this link . Click here to create a sample multi language application in Apex.
At the time of writing this I don't see any reason for creating this feature from scratch. Why reinvent the wheel?
Any comments?
We need to print Business Letter for a given list with mail merge facilities.
My client is not willing to spend $$ on a paid ASP.NET control to make PDF. So I opted in for WKHTMLtoPDF and it works fine for us until one day the client tried to get a PDF of 100+ leads, resulting in complete failure of PDF generation. It works just fine with a 10-20 page PDF, but not for 100.
Are there any tips & tricks to improve performance? We are using Cloud-hosted IIS 7 with ASP.NET 4 if that matters.
PDFSharp library is really a nice one!
I have used it for quite a while now, and I find it flexible enough to fulfill your needs.
However there are some aspects of using it as a "standalone library" - e.g creating tables is a headache and there aren't much text formatting options. It is much better to mix it together with MigraDoc (an extension library for PDFSharp).
If you're looking for a really free (as in "free of worries") library, choose iTextPDF versions prior to version 4.1.7, as they state in the ByteScout blog.
From the ByteScout blog:
iTextSharp 4.1.6 DLL only: itextsharp-4.1.6-dll.zip
iTextSharp 4.1.6 Source Code (C#): itextsharp-4.1.6.zip
I'm not sure I understand your problem but couldn't you generate docx documents and get the same results?
For all, I use http://wkhtmltopdf.org/ to create HTML to PDF, my ASP.NET code generate the HtML file then I create HTML to PDF and it is done, much easier than using itextpdf's Table and td structure to get things in better space. I found it easy and fast once you get your stuff aligned properly.
library has improved since original question asked and it performs better now.
here is good tutorial http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/20640/Creating-PDF-Documents-in-ASP-NET
I am trying to create a report in Magento. I followed the tutorial from Alan Storm on getting things started in the admin panel http://alanstorm.com/magento_admin_controllers and I now have a grasp of how to get the controllers working in the admin panel.
I would like to take this to the next step and create reports. The reports that I am creating I think I just want them to work like the grid widgets that are used throughout the entire Magento admin panel.
However, I am hard pressed to find a good tutorial on how to create these. If someone could explain how these work or point me towards a tutorial that worked for them, I would be very grateful.
* UPDATE *
An SQL based approach, to consider:

Personally I've tried implementing Reports the "Magento" way and found its much easier and simpler to just use the Grid instead. However here are some of the bookmarks I have in regards to building out reports.

Hope these help, I have to admit the way the way you build reports in Magento is very screwy, at least to me the approach seems very backwards.
Does anybody use the Class Designer much in Visual Studio?
I have downloaded the Modeling Power Toys for 2005 and have been impressed with what I've seen so far. The MSDN Class Designer Blog doesn't seem to have been updated for a while but it still looks quite useful.
Is the Class Designer a quick way to build the basic application or should I just work out on paper and then start coding?
Thanks
As a visualization tool, or for exploratory purposes (drawing up multiple options to see what they look like) it's not bad, but generally I find the object browser does fine for most stuff I care about.
As a code generation tool, it's a terrible idea.
The whole idea that we will design all our code structure first, then fill in the blanks with small bits of implementation is fundamentally broken.
The only time you actually know what the code structure should look like, is if you've done the exact same thing before - however then you can just use your previous code, and you don't need to draw up any new code in any kind of designer.
If you decide ahead of time to use a particular class structure before you've actually tried to solve the problem, there is a 100% chance that you will pick the wrong design, and shoot yourself in the foot.
Short answer: No.
Longer answer: No, not at all. There's a reason it hasn't been updated.
[EDIT] # MrBrutal - Sorry - do you mean to generate code or just represent a design? Because I took your question as to generate code for you.
I guess this is old, but I use it a lot. It could definitely be improved, but I find it extremely useful to be able to visualize my class structure, and to be able to jump to a specific class or method by clicking on it visually.
It's also slightly easier to add classes/interfaces with than the solution explorer, although the new files always end up in the root folder, instead of the same folder as the CD.
The main benefit I find is to be able to see a group of closely related classes at once. I think the best approach might be to have a single CD for each code folder/namespace.
I've used it a couple of times to get some decent looking class diagrams to put in presentations/blogposts etc. But thats about it...
Any suggestions on other simple UML/class diagram tools that is easy to use and create some nice looking diagrams? Must be able to generate diagrams from .NET code.
I have tried it out couple of times, mainly for viewing existing classes.
If it would show all the relationships, it would be more usefull. Now it only shows inheritation.
I find it useful sometimes, more often for documentation afterwards.
It's a new little utility, but I don't think you get the full functionality in VS Pro - I think you need Architect's Edition.
The comments here suggest that few people find the class designer useful.
Amusing to note that Microsoft designed the class designer to be a useful replacement to useless UML (UML diagrams being untrustworthy once they lose synchronisation with source code).
The trouble with class diagrams is that they tell us what we already know.
I only use the class designer to display my existing classes, but I don't use it the other way, e.g., design your classes there then let it generate the code.
