I am searching for the proper way to build an online database application to behave similar to an Excel datasheets that I have.
I have a working excel file with many calculations, and I need to port this to my WordPress website as a service.
My clients would be able to log into the web app section in WordPress, and manipulate their own data sheet, and get results from all the calculations.
Any idea or direction regarding recommended platform or programming language that can do that ?
Sincerely
Dan
If you want to create a web calculators based on an Excel file I would recommend you to take a look at “Appizy”. It converts instantly a spreadsheet into a standalone web calculation tool (HTML+CSS+JAVASCRIPT). You don’t need to hardcode the whole interface and calculation formulas!
As your Excel file is converted in HTML you can download it and paste it in your WP installation.
If you want to include database you might need to had a bit of PHP on top...
Let me know if it helped you!

Need a help here.
I have a requirement wherein I have to automate the data retrieving feature of an website. The site has a limitation to search only 30 records at a time. So, what we want to do is login to the site, upload an excel containing 300+ records and click a search button.. and the site should automatically search the records and download the data in excel in a batch of 30.
I wanted to know, if this can be done only using .net or java, without using any automation tool(like selenium etc).If not, what will the best approach to solve it?
Any insight will be helpful.
You cannot use .net or Java if you don't have access to the APIs
( You may try with web API using Rest Client. )
Your requirement can be approached using RPA tools.
I recommend UIPath Studio quick to learn and use
Heyos!
I am in sincere need of help and advice with a project I have to work on.
Let me give you a brief overview:
Context:
MeSH-Browser is a website used for displaying "[...] hierarchically-organized terminology for indexing and cataloging of biomedical information [...]" (see: https://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/).
The MeSH-data can be downloaded from here: https://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/download_mesh.html
What is the task:
Displaying MeSH-data on a website.
What is given:
MeSH-data as mentioned above (see: https://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/download_mesh.html).
What is the catch:
I have no experience in developing a back- and frontend.
What I have come up so far:
I figured out that I need to develop a back- and frontend as well as the communication between those.
Convert given MeSH-data in .xml format to database input format.
Create a server running a database fed with the converted MeSH-data.
Communication between database and website.
A website for displaying the data stored in the database.
After googling I found a GitHub project with "Code and documentation for the release of MeSH in RDF format" (see: https://github.com/HHS/meshrdf/).
Hence I set up a virtual machine running an ubuntu server and installed OpenLink's Virtuoso software (see: https://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/), which can be used for querying the resulting RDF.
What has to be done next is integrating the converted MeSH-data in RDF into the Virtuoso database (have not looked into this yet).
Considering the communication with the frontend, I was thinking about using one of the libraries mentioned on https://www.w3.org/community/rdfjs/wiki/Comparison_of_RDFJS_libraries and query the data with the help of SPARQL.
As frontend I would use ReactJS as I find it appealing to me.
That is all for now, what are your opinions?
Please do note that this is only for educational purposes.
I need to know, has someone integrated any DB to Semantria, and get output to any DB or excel or text file ?
I have tried to explore semantria via excel and API , but integration does not work perfectly.
It depends on what kind of integration you're looking for.
I have already done many integrations with different storages including indexing services and RDBMS solutions.
Unfortunately there are no ready-to-use components available on the market, so you will need to build integration by your own.
Semantria offers SDK (https://github.com/Semantria/semantria-sdk) for all modern languages, you will need to build a logic that will get analysis results and will save them to a certain storage.
Can you please explain what storage do you use and what Semantria output you're interested in?
Thanks George.
Well at the moment, we are just focusing on pulling the data from DB (take for instance mySQL, or Oracle), and output should again go back to same DB, i will take care of transformation needed in o/p.
Now where I am stuck, is the place where I can set up a link between DB and semantria, how will these SDK help, never worked on something like this.
A brief on this will surely be of great help
Our app is a sort-of self-service website builder for a particular industry. We need to be able to store the HTML and image files for each customer's site so that users can easily access and edit them. I'd really like to be able to store the files on S3, but potentially other places like Box.net, Google Docs, Dropbox, and Rackspace Cloud Files.
It would be easiest if there there some common file system API that I could use over these repositories, but unfortunately everything is proprietary. So I've got to implement something. FTP or SFTP is the obvious choice, but it's a lot of work. WebDAV will also be a pain.
Our server-side code is Java.
Please someone give me a magic solution which is fast, easy, standards-based, and will solve all my problems perfectly without any effort on my part. Please?
Not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for but we built http://mover.io to address this kind of thing. We currently support 13 different end points and we have a GUI interface and an API for interfacing with all these cloud storage providers.
I am a newbie programmer and i dont yet have any idea of the WEB. I wish to start learning a technology that will allow me to build websites( database driven) i dont know which one to choose. I know some actionscript3 and flash.
Is it possible to create a database driven website using these alone? Or do i need to learn any other technology? If i do then what should i learn? I know j2se for the desktop and oracle SQL/MySQL
please show me a path. Also wanted to know if there is any technology like Wordpress for J2EE/flash
OK so i finally got the feeling that i need to learn PHP anyway along with css and javascript. So it is fine. Also another query. Which CMS should i consider? Wordpress or Joomla?
You can develop a database driven website using Flash, but only in the same sense that you can develop a database driven website using AJAX. That is, you can build the front-end using Flash/ActionScript but the back-end is built using other technologies. Just like working with JavaScript to develop a front-end, from ActionScript you would be communicating with Java or PHP or Python or something on the server using RESTful calls and then actually working with the database in the server-side scripts.
Honestly = this question is too broad and generic, and answers are easily found with some google searches.
That being said = of course you can build a data driven flash site. The one caveat here is that flash itself is fundamentally client-side technology, so we must rely on other remote tech to do the heavy data lifting. The options are profuse.
For example, a developer might create a front facing presentation in Flex, which is the streamlined, data-centric extension of pure flash. His database interactions are written in php, and these are constantly called upon to deliver content to the user.
So - what technologies to use? Whatever you know. And if you don't know, then learn the ones that are closest to what you know.
Finally, although I am a die-hard fan of flash, this type of project (you didn't specify what you had in mind) could be done with many different technologies. So - maybe flash is the right answer, but maybe javascript (ajax) could manage the same thing and do it without the need of plugins.
Yes you can develop database driven site in flash/action script but you still need and back-end technology i recommend you to check WebORB you can develop the back-end using Java, PHP, or .NET In addition you can use Flash Remoting technology Flash/Flex to communicate with a back-end
Flash can't be directly connected to database. You must use another technique which would be "mediator". I have developed Flash game with MySql database and PHP and I recommend you to use this combination. Here is visually presented this kind of communication: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRi-oxjFfCU
yes, it is possible to crate database driven website with flash and action-script. You would get an XML file when you do action script in flash, so you can store nodes of that XML file into database(mysql). You can then create an Admin interface to manage your database contents, that would indirectly change your xml nodes. So basically you can edit the xml file and store it in the database.
