Adding data using SQLite for iPhone

This is the Sqlite database app. Some times your app may have the need to store data in some kind of database. In iPhone application you can do so using SQLite.

Step 1: Open the Xcode and create a new Xcode project using Navigation base application template. Give the application name “SQL”. As shown in the figure below:

Step 2: Expand classes and notice Interface Builder created the RootViewController.h and RootViewController.m class for you. Expand Resources and notice the template generated a separate nib, RootViewController.xib.

Step 3: To create database in sqlite follow the below steps:
Now that the terminal is open let’s create the database. This is done with the command:

sqlite3 Datalist.sqlite

SQLite3 will now start and load the Datalist.sqlite database. By default the database is empty and contains no tables.
We only need to create one table. We will create a table called Datalist by typing the following statement:

CREATE TABLE Datalist(pk INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, name VARCHAR(25), age INTEGER);

One thing to note here is the pk field. It is the primary key of the table.
Now that our table has been created, let’s add some data. Type the following commands below.

INSERT INTO Datalist(name,age) VALUES(‘vishal’,29);
INSERT INTO Datalist(name,age) VALUES(‘nilesh’,30);
INSERT INTO Datalist(name,age) VALUES(‘vinod’,28);
INSERT INTO Datalist(name,age) VALUES(‘amrita’,25);

Your terminal window will look something as shown below:

Now go back to XCode. Do a Control-Click (right click) on the folder named Resources. Click Add -> Existing Files… and browse to your Datalist.sqlite file and click Add. It will then prompt you with a screen as shown below:

Step 4: Now that we have added the database, we need to load the Objective C libraries so we can use it. Do a control-click (right click) on the Frameworks folder. Click Add -> Existing Frameworks. So in the search bar type in libsqlite3. The file we are looking for is called libsqlite3.0.dylib.

Step 5: We need to add another file. Right-click on the Classes folder and choose Add -> New File. Under Cocoa Touch Class category choose Objective-C class. Name it SqlA.h and SqlA.m file.
This will be a very simple class that will take our dummy data file, read it in as an NSArray and provide some utility methods to access the data from the file.

@interface SqlA: NSObject {
NSInteger age;
NSString *name;

//Internal variables to keep track of the state of the object.
BOOL isDirty;
BOOL isDetailViewHydrated;
}

@property (nonatomic, readonly) NSInteger age;
@property (nonatomic, copy) NSString *name;

@property (nonatomic, readwrite) BOOL isDirty;
@property (nonatomic, readwrite) BOOL isDetailViewHydrated;

//Static methods.
+ (void) getInitialDataToDisplay:(NSString *)dbPath;
+ (void) finalizeStatements;

//Instance methods.
– (id) initWithPrimaryKey:(NSInteger)pk;

@end

Step 6: Open the SqlA.m file and make the following changes in the file.

#import "SqlA.h"

static sqlite3 *database = nil;

@implementation SqlA

@synthesize name,age,isDirty, isDetailViewHydrated;

+ (void) getInitialDataToDisplay:(NSString *)dbPath {

SQLAppDelegate *appDelegate = (SQLAppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];

if (sqlite3_open([dbPath UTF8String], &database) == SQLITE_OK) {

const char *sql = "select name,age from Datalist";
sqlite3_stmt *selectstmt;
if(sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, sql, –1, &selectstmt, NULL) == SQLITE_OK) {

while(sqlite3_step(selectstmt) == SQLITE_ROW) {

NSInteger primaryKey = sqlite3_column_int(selectstmt, 0);
SqlA *coffeeObj = [[SqlA alloc] initWithPrimaryKey:primaryKey];
coffeeObj.name = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)sqlite3_column_text(selectstmt, 0)];

coffeeObj.isDirty = NO;

[appDelegate.coffeeArray addObject:coffeeObj];
[coffeeObj release];
}
}
}
else
sqlite3_close(database); //Even though the open call failed, close the database connection to release all the memory.
}

+ (void) finalizeStatements {
if(database) sqlite3_close(database);
}

– (id) initWithPrimaryKey:(NSInteger) pk {
[super init];
age = pk;

isDetailViewHydrated = NO;

return self;
}

Step 7: Open the RootViewController.h file and make the following changes in the file.

@class SqlA;

@interface RootViewController : UITableViewController {
SQLAppDelegate *appDelegate;
}
@end

Step 8: Open the RootViewController.m file and make the following changes in the file.

– (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
return [appDelegate.coffeeArray count];
}

– (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";

UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
}
//Get the object from the array.
SqlA *coffeeObj = [appDelegate.coffeeArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];

//Set the coffename.
cell.text = coffeeObj.name;

// Set up the cell
return cell;
}

– (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
// Navigation logic — create and push a new view controller
}
– (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];

self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = self.editButtonItem;

appDelegate = (SQLAppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];

self.title = @"Name List";
}

Step 9: Open the SQLAppDelegate.h file and make the following changes in the file.

@class SqlA;
@interface SQLAppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate> {

UIWindow *window;
UINavigationController *navigationController;

//To hold a list of Coffee objects
NSMutableArray *coffeeArray;
}

@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWindow *window;
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UINavigationController *navigationController;

@property (nonatomic, retain) NSMutableArray *coffeeArray;

– (void) copyDatabaseIfNeeded;
– (NSString *) getDBPath;

Step 10: Open the SQLAppDelegate.m file and make the following changes in the file.

– (void) copyDatabaseIfNeeded {

//Using NSFileManager we can perform many file system operations.
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSError *error;
NSString *dbPath = [self getDBPath];
BOOL success = [fileManager fileExistsAtPath:dbPath];

if(!success) {
NSString *defaultDBPath = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Datalist.sqlite"];
success = [fileManager copyItemAtPath:defaultDBPath toPath:dbPath error:&error];

if (!success)
NSAssert1(0, @"Failed to create writable database file with message ‘%@’.", [error localizedDescription]);
}
}

– (NSString *) getDBPath {
//Search for standard documents using NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains
//First Param = Searching the documents directory
//Second Param = Searching the Users directory and not the System
//Expand any tildes and identify home directories.
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory , NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDir = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
return [documentsDir stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"Datalist.sqlite"];
}

Step 11: Now compile and Run the code and get the final output.

WordPress Thesis Custom Theme Dev Thesis Experts Only Please

See the mockup attached. This is a migration but you only need to build the site and Ill handle the data move.
The client wants this in Thesis to take advantage of the speed.
If you look at the mockup, here are the details:
1. The site is basically a product site using posts for each product.
2. The categories will be used to manage the manufacturers, carriers, and special categories like, whats new, specials, etc. Each post will dynamically show the product box in the correct spot based on the programming using the category on the page.
3. The post admin needs a few special fields for “Price, thumbnail loader, and special js code used for the cart / button. The title and excerpt and descrip will be used for each products relevant data.
4. Top left box is an ajaxy dependent selector where the user can first grab a manufacturer (dropdown shows the category names for manufacturer), Then based on the manufacturer, the posts that have that manufacturer as their category will show (the dependent ones).
See this site for the exact nature of the dropdown functionality ; GSMLIBERTY.COM
5. The left sidebar will then have the category listings for manufacturer … click any of them takes you to a category specific page with all the relevant products shown in the product box style just like the mockup.
6. Reviews can be just a moderated guest post allowing users to submit reviews. The full review page is just like a blog category listing page with all review teasers shown for the review category in the blog.
7. The homepage will only have the ‘featured products’ category products showing with a max of 6 showing. There will NOT be any pagination or sorting since its only 6. These products are styled so that the respective post fields are fixed location for any product box. The js code is behind the ‘unlock now’ button.
8. The main banner is actually a slideshow of about 4 slides of text. The read more button is a javascript popup with more copy for each of the slides. I would think this would be a post for each as well.
9. The top right whats new box is bg image of the star and just a product block post for a post using the ‘home-new’ category. If more than 1 we can make a fade slider.
10. The footer has ‘news/articles’ post teasers showing the most recent 3. This is setup as blog posts – styled like the mockup.
11. The subscribe box goes to a feedburner account.
13. Social buttons are just links to the social urls for this site.
14. The whats new and specials top navigation are just pages (templates) showing the similar layout to home without the banner and whats new box and showing any product box for a ‘whats new’ category oR a ‘specials’ category for the respective page.
15. Contact us is just a simple form
16. affiliates is a wp page for some copy to be supplied.
17. There is also an about us top nav not shown – again this is just a wordpress page styled as a 2 column layout with catgories on left and content box on right / main.
18. Button / images in top header / right side are supplied to you with their urls.
Thats about the entire project.
Really simple if you know the wordpress codex and you have done a bunch of wp sites before. If possible and not making a mess out of the dev, the client wants this in thesis – ill buy the license.

Logo With A Bull 2

Hello,
I’m looking for a logo for a phrase, the first word would be 6 letters and the 2nd word would be 4 letters.
I was thinking of the first word creating like a V or an upside down V with the 2nd word fitting in the middle. I would like .com incorporated in to the logo and having some of the letters making a bulls head. Another Idea would be the same phrase with the .com with some bull with horns graphics.
Thanks

Customized Article Creation Form For Mediawiki

I have a single-purpose Mediawiki deployment, where people will enter just one kind of article. I would like to engage someone to help build a more intuitive user experience for article creations, that does not require one to be experienced with Mediawiki in order to use.

Some expectations:

Would like a be a simple, single web-page or a wizard-like multi-page experience used to collect data from the user, and well as allow them to upload images and embed them in the article.

SemanticForms are installed now, and is functional, but hardly intuitive. I am open to dropping SMW.

Uploaded images should be shown as either as a “Featured Image” and/or as part of a Mediawiki “gallery”.

The “New Post” interface used on WordPress is really something I am looking for.
