Hi i am having an asp webpage which i am creating to make a ticketing system but the issue is that if lets say a user pressed a seat number A1 and he submits the form the data is stored in google docs but i am not able to make that seat disabled for the other users..how can i do this? for testing purposes i have uploaded the page to this site
This is the page that i am trying to create it is still in very early stage so the submit wont work..
AS u can see that i have href to A1 only and it is having some background color issues which i have to deal with that as well..my understanding is that i have to do this on the serverside so that the next person will be shown as that seat is taken thanks..
i am not able to make that seat disabled for the other users..how can i do this?
When generating the page, your server side code must look up what seats are available and show those.
When a seat request is submitted then the server side code needs to check if it is still available and present an error message ("Sorry, it seems that someone else has reserved seat A1 while you were making your choice, please select an alternative seat") if it isn't.
The specifics depend on how you are accessing your data store.

We have service where all user interaction is done via texting (iMessage) using Sendblue. We want users to be able to refer their friends to get free credits. The easiest way we can think of would be giving that user a link to send to their friends, which, when opened, would auto-populate a message to our number, the content of that message being the referring user's number. Example:
I (phone number +1234) want to refer my friends. I send them a link, which when they click, opens a text message to +4321 (the service) with the text prepopulated with my phone number, "+1234".
Right now the entire service is run through Zapier, so ideally would be able to work through that. You can also enter Javascript blocks into Zapier to manipulate data if that would help.
The only solution I have been able to come up with so far is create a different webpage for every person's phone number, which would just be a custom html link with the above that would be clicked automatically on page open.
Is there an existing service that does this (and ideally works with Zapier)? Or would I have to do what is described above? If so, what is the easiest way to integrate that data? Is there a way to automate webpage creation?
Any and all help is appreciated!
I am going to develop an asp.net website. My problem is think that now my site is published on the internet. 100 Users are already logged to my website. And they opened customer registration form in the website. So we know that when user log to a website he is sending a get request for the specific page. Then the server is sending that page in HTML format and it destroy the page from the server side.
So think that after server sent the customer registration form to the user I am going to do a update to my website. What I am doing is removing some input fields from the customer registration form. So imagine that at the user's end he can see 10 textboxes but my updated version will only contain 5 textboxes. So now what? What is going to happen? Is this lead to an error?
I just took a small example. Think that this situation occur in the middle of a transaction.
What is the scenario that use to update a website that already published and always have online users?.
Just Recycle the Application pool, this will make a new request for the online users. Like a fresh start.
Cannot phrase correct term or language that I want, so finding hard to search.
Q: From server side, push line of text to user.
Building MVC 4 (asp.net - c# .net4) application. One page will have a "notifications" coloumn which will be a list of new tasks the user should do.
The tasks stored in a database.
When a new task has been added to the database, I want to push a line of html text to this notifications list with out the user having to refresh the page.
Is this possible, or do I need to have the user client side run on timer to request update of notifications?
thanks,
Please point me to similer questions or resources and the obiouse resource that Im looking for.
You are looking at a timer unfortunately if you need to support a wide range of browsers but you can use web sockets to push the information on clients that have the support. Check the website http://www.websocket.org/
Here is a basic tutorial on web sockets:

I am trying to add the tab to a page I am admin of.
I use the url to do that -
http://www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=&next=.
Facebook shows a list of all the pages I am admin of. And that drop down has no specific sorting order.
Now my problem is - I have multiple pages with same page name. They ofcourse have different urls. I tried changing the name of pages, but due to high number of likes I can't change the names.
The only option I am left with is hit & Trial. And I have to do it for more than 30 apps.
So you understand my pain point.
Please advice any alternative.
Thanks

I would recommend writing down the page ids and making some sort of system for yourself to remember (perhaps only the last few digits) which page is which.
In any case, there is a way for you to add a tab application directly to a page without ever seeing that "Add Page Tab" dialog. You can do it all through the API. This means you'll need your pages access token so head on over to the Graph API Explorer, make sure you click the "get access token" button and mark the manage_pages permission.
You need to query /me/accounts to get a list of all the pages you administer.
You'll see a list with the page id, name, category... I hope you will be able to identify your page more easily here. Once you have, you'll need to get the access_token for that page. Keep a record of it - we'll need it in a few minutes. You'll also need the page id.
Modify the following URL to include the parameters we got previously -
https://graph.facebook.com/PAGE_ID/tabs?app_id=TAB_APP_ID&method=post&access_token=PAGE_ACCESS_TOKEN
Navigate to that URL and if all goes well, you'll get a simple true message indicating that the action was successful.
I am attempting to implement the following for my school's website:
School registration is currently a hard-copy form.
They'd like applicants to fill out a PDF form online.
They then print, sign and mail it to the school.
The school want to be able to store the data entered by the applicant in the PDF so that when the signed application arrives, they can simply approve the registration for that student without reentering all the students info.
The school system is run on MS Access (if it matters which version I can find this out).
Any ideas how I can implement an import from their form to MS Access?
Thanks.
I've used a website called www.doculicious.com that does pretty much this exact thing. You can upload a PDF and have it converted into a web form. Whoever fills in the web form can download the completed PDF and print it out for signing. All the data is stored in the system and you can get it out as XML or CSV for importing into another database manually, or use the API to do that part automatically.
It depends on how automatically you want it to be. A fully automated case would be
Scan in the printed form using TWAIN
Use a Form Recognition library to align the form back to the original and find the zones with the information you want
Use OCR to get the information out of the form (probably ICR, if handwritten)
Find the original record in Access
Update the record with the new data
This isn't simple -- there are products out there that could help, but they are not cheap, and ICR is not very accurate.
I would suggest that you just do #4 and #5 in Access and give them a screen where they process an incoming form -- someone keys in the new data. That form
Lets you specify the record you want to update (like with a name or ssn)
Shows you the record with edit boxes for you to fill in with the form data
Saves it back when you are done.
This is straight-forward in Access.
The school can use a regular HTML form on their website and ask parents to submit details online. Your server-side can save the submitted details to your database and generate a unique submission token/key/code back to the parent on the web page. When the parents come to the school and mention the key, print their details on paper and ask them to sign it. You file the paper and the data is already in your database.
If the intent is to import from an electronically submitted form, I have used Adobe LifeCycle Designer to accomplish this very thing. Basically you can create an XML output of the PDF form data using an email client of the end users choice and have the data from the XML file read from the inbox into the fields of your MS Access database. Of course this solution has some serious constraints on what applications are to be used, as well as what use cases are handled, for example this solution is in a controlled environment in which all users are required to email there requests, where possibly your requirements may need to handle mailed correspondence as well.
I would add to VSU's answer by suggesting the use of Google Forms for data entry.
You just need a free account, then use Docs to create a new Form.
It's extremely easy to setup, and the submitted results en-up in a Google spreadsheet that you can download as an regular Excel file (that makes it very easy to import into Access).
You have a few ways to share the form:
Email a link to the form
Embed the form into an email
Embed the form in your web site, which is probably the best solution for you.
Once the data is in your database, you can easily create a report and a simple lookup form to find the name of the applicant and print the form.
It shouldn't take more than one hour to get start and have something functional.
You can always improve later once you've experimented with this.
The advantage of using Google forms is that it's free, it works well, and you are fairly secure since you're not linking your database directly to the Internet (and don't risk SQL injection).
