It's been quite difficult to me to modify the "Daily View" without breaking the app, despite trying to do something rather simple: I would like to display the forthcoming posts instead of the past posts when hitting the load button.
I made the postedAt attribute accessible to ["member"] in order to make this use of Telescope relevant.
If anyone can share a few tips, that would be great !
Thank you in advance.
I didn't realize moment.js was involved, so:
date: moment().add(i, 'days').startOf('day').toDate()
That simple!

I am wondering how one would go about using a permalink from another website to extract data about that particular permalink, especially in the case of looking for specific information. Kind of how youtube has websites that essentially use the link to the video to download and convert it to mp3 format. Its for a college project in HTML5, but upon researching the subject (for about a week) I didnt come up with alot of information on how to go about it using html. Any help in advance will be appreciated. Just basic structure is necessary. im not good or anything, I just want to actually learn, so i need some directional pointing that way i get on the right track.
Thanks in advance :)
Oh and to be more direct, I mean in such a way as to list certain products at the price they are being listed on the site they are being listed on. However, from within my own site. (all in html...)Figured I should be more direct.
Those websites that extract audio from Youtube probably doing it using Python or something similar
This might help you.
the thing is, I have some given words and I want to search through my website for them, and display them to the user, but without the user entering any stuff.
Thanks so far!
UPDATE
and it should not be an iFrame ;-)
well ...
I found quite an easy solution, which is actually provided by google itself: http://www.google.com/cse/manage/create
it does not run in an iframe as well. I like it pretty much ;-)
I'm a non-developer building a simple Access 2003 database for an NGO that works in developing countries. I would like to provide in-app help (what certain fields mean, for example) in a number of forms and on the switchboard. I'm not sure about the best way to do this - not just on a technical standpoint but to increase user-friendliness. The users are usually using MS Access for the very fist time, and have only basic computer use knowledge.
I don't want to cram the forms with help text, so I'm thinking of adding little question mark buttons that pop up a separate form with just help text. Is that wise?
I've also noticed a Help Context ID property, but it looks complicated (I'm looking for something as simple as possible to implement, so that the help text can be edited as easily as possible by others in the future). I think this is where I'd start if this were the way to go: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=209843
This may need to be translated, etc, so again, the simpler the better.
Thanks!
I've built such a system using tables and forms in the FE. You can get an idea by reviewing some of the screen shots at http://www.granitefleet.com/ScreenShots/index.htm I only created general help describing processes where something on a setup form can affect this form. So the user will know where to ge to change something around.
If you haven't built your forms yet, put that information in the table design, using each field's Description. That will propagate through your forms, and will be displayed on the Status Bar whenever a user click in that field.
If your forms are already done, use the [Status Bar Text] and/or the [ControlTip Text] property of your controls.
Just train your users or write once that they should read the Status bar if they need more explanation.
KISS (keep it simple and simple)
Great question. I think the real solution to reducing the amount of work that you need to do is to work really hard on having a simple, clean UI. In the real world there are very few people who have the patience or inclination to read the manual or search the contextual help even in the face of being stuck.
I know this is slightly off topic from the question but if you look at this website for example it keeps the number of things you can do on anyone 'screen' down to the minimum and everything has a tool tip (ControlTip Text in msaccess). Even if site this was in Japanese, I thin i could navigate around it fairly easily and that is because of its simplicity. (I couldn't answer any questions though :P)
Jakob Neilsen has a great site on usability

Regarding this, it really depends on the application. It is overly simplistic to assume that every application can have all the information it needs to be operated just by having a simple clean UI, especially if in the name of being simple, there are alot of useful features that are not included. In certain complex applications, people will simply need to have patience and read the information available or they will waste a lot of time guessing. It is better to have have information at the press of a button than have them asking for it once they figured out that they are wasting time figuring it out with no help. I agree that many apps are way more complicated than they need to be.
For an example of what I mean, search on Google for "Last.fm". The first result will be www.last.fm and 8 additional links are listed; "Listen", "Log in", "Music", "Download", "Charts", "Sign up", "Jazz music", and "Users". I looked around in their HTML but couldn't figure out where this information was supplied to Google.
Any help? Thanks :)
You can try looking at the Google Webmaster Tools, and provide google with a webtree of your site.
Write semantic markup.
Google work out the important links from that, they aren't told explicitly.
Google's documentation explains the process.
In your sitemap you can specify priority for pages.
The above answers are all good.
You might also try NO FOLLOWING (rel="nofollow") unimportant links on your homepage or other pages. Google will the give more weight to the followed links.
It used to be that you needed to be pagerank 4 or higher to get the sitelinks to show up if you were the top result. (and then you could edit them via webmastertools)
but it seems like google are currently changing things around. apparantly they were not clicked enough to warrant taking up valuable space on the resultspage.
Use XML sitemaps. However, be warned that sitemaps must not be misused. There is a big debate on whether sitemaps are good or not.
I met such thing before.
What I did is submitting new, accurate site page to google.
Taking a close look at the content, as well as Mata tags to see if they are accurate and descriptive. In my case I reorganized the whole content.
Most important, I back to the track of SEO, refresh content frequently. Shame to me, I had not refreshed content for a long time.
I do not know which one plays the rule, but thing works pretty well now. Hope it it is worthwhile for you as a reference.
My memory is not the best, so I like to keep a blog using WordPress which I keep track of all the programming and IT related things I learn. This way, when I need it again I can just search and go back and look at it.
Using WordPress has been good, but its editing really sucks and I would like something with more of a plain text system.
I know many other people do this. If you do, can you recommend the system you use? Here's mine so far http://knife-bst.com/tech/
As you can see with git commands -- it becomes a big -. So WordPress really is not working too well.
Why not use a wiki? It will take care of maintaining all of its own history, and editing is not that difficult.
This is just the kind of thing Evernote is for.
I recommend google docs and spreadsheets. It's excellent for this sort of thing!
