We are working on survey's using ODK, by creating xls files and transform it into forms, and then we collect data offline.
When employees comeback from the field, they upload data.
What we need now is that they work online from the field, so they can search a specific ID or name, and see the data existing before adding new data.
What I mean is that we need to let them search the database by specific field, and that is not available in odk.
We upload data to ONA then the data are cleaned on the laptop and the searches are done on the laptop too.
Is there a tool that do that process ?
As far as I know, the closest you can get with existing tools is this: https://help.ona.io/faq/filtered-datasets
If you use Enketo (webforms), when the source dataset is updated (via new submissions) the webform will also be automatically updated (may require page refresh and there will be a delay). You could use both offline-capable or online-only webforms with this reference to external data and query it with select_one_from_file, select_multiple_from_file (in XLSForm terminology), or with pulldata, or with regular XPath.

We have uploaded pdf file into Discovery service and using smart documentation we have marked the data as title and text/table..etc and spitted the pdf file into multiple pdf files based on title.
Now we want to get the data based on title/pdf filename and display the data.
Please let us know how we can get the pdf files and its data based on title.
While building queries in search for documents use Discovery Query Language instead of natural language. In field select extracted_metadata.title or extracted_metadata.filename and choose the operator contains and provide the value. For more info follow the Build Queries
I'm looking for a way to create a search box in wordpress, where visitors can search a number from the database. Is this possible? I have several package numbers in my database. I want to give my visitors the ability to search for their package number and request the information that comes with the number.
What you want to do can be done.
I suggest a different approach than using wp-exec. (I just looked at wp-exec website, and that plugin was created for WordPress 1.5, which means it hasn't been updated in about 5 years).
The content you want to display exists entirely outside of WordPress. I suggest you use a custom page template - see
http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates
In this case you would not use WordPress posts or pages or custom post types. On the custom page template you would write (or have written if you don't have the knowhow to do it yourself) PHP code to extract the info from the database and display it on a page.
For pages like that you would be using WordPress only as a container within which to display the results - they custom page would appear in the site Nav, The page of results would use the site's theme to display so it looks like the rest of the site.
But the code to display from the database would not use the WordPress loop. It would be PHP / MySQL data retrieval and display code.
I really doubt you will find a plugin that lets you display results from an external database, formatted the way you want them to appear. The reason is every external database is different, has different tables and table structures. And no two sites will want the external data visually displayed in the same way. So there is little generalization to encapsulate in a plugin as everyone wants it different.
I've created pages on some sites along the lines of what you want to do thus I know it can be done. But it requires writing custom code.
I'm writing contracts by hand along with itineraries that contain much of the same data. Is there a way to do the following...
web form that will fill the fields of my contract and outputs in .pdf format
button that gives the option to also output the data in the form of my itinerary layout in .pdf
save various details to a database.
what tutorials might be useful to me? what videos should i be watching to steer me down the right path?
Many thanks!
This looks very much like an application for a server-side form filling tool. The tool of choice would be FDFMerge by Appligent.
A typical workflow would be as follows:
• you have a web form where the user fills in the required information
• user submits the web form to your server where the data gets filled into a database
• selects are made in the database, bringing together the data for a specific document
• assemble the result of the selects into an FDF file
• the base form is filled with the data, using the above mentioned tool
• the filled document(s) is/are made available for the user
And that should do it.
I want to create a custom database within Adobe Business Catalyst. I have an Excel Spreadsheet with 1000's of rows of data that I want to upload.
Does anyone know how I can do this or where I can find instructions on how to do this as I cant seem to find anything anywhere???
What you need to use is the Web Apps module. You haven't told us what you want to do with this data but I assume that you simply want to render it on the page. Web apps will allow you to crate a custom field for every column in your spreadsheet and import that spreadsheet into it. It has a list view which creates an automatic link to a detail view. See the following link for more info -

Is it possible to store harvested data from a website(Nestoria) upon implementing their APIs using PHP?
I am able to extract the data using PHP and it displays the result on a web browser, but I need to dump or save them into my PostGIS database. (I am using XAMPP and PostGIS on windows 7)
Most companies wouldn't have a problem with you doing that, for instance Ebay's API. However, as Mapperz pointed out - Nestoria's terms require you not to compete with them for originality of the content. So, any data that comes from their API and stored in your database should not be able to be indexed by search engines.
This isn't as difficult to comply with as you might think. You could have the content loaded through an iframe that uses the "NoIndex, NoFollow" meta tag attribute in the HTML of the page being loaded, or pull the content from the database to your page's DOM using AJAX/JavaScript after the page has loaded.
I personally would go with the second option (AJAX).
