I’m going to be quiet now until 6th September, I’m driving to Germany tomorrow for 11 days to be with the British F3C (Radio Control Helicopters) team at the European Championships.
Hopefully in the quiet times i’ll be able to crack on with my lessons in FB series, there allegedly is WLAN but you never can rely on it. It gives you lot more of a chance to really get on top of lessons 1 thru 3.
I recently found out that my host, hostmysite.com had upgraded their version of LiveStats to Livestats.XSP v7, however you need to request to be moved to the v7 server.
Being as my site is written in fusebox, i’m quite used to only see index.cfm as the only logged file in my logs, but i did some digging and have found a way to display the requested fuseactions and it’s quite simple
Once you’ve logged into LiveStats you need to go to the settings pages and then into the dynamic content tab, in there you need to add a new dynamic content item, i called my description ‘fuseaction’, filter method ‘keyword’ and then in the CGI parameters I just entered ‘fuseaction’. Having saved the entry and returned to the page reports tab - in the page section you should begin to see urls with fuseaction= and the fuseaction that is being requested.
I’m pretty sure this isn’t a new feature in v7, just something i haven’t played with before
In lesson 3 we cover handling form submissions between fuse actions. Our hello world application turns into a telephone directory linked to a db. We use conditional logic in our circuit definition file along with redirects.
The completed lesson 3 along with the database used can be downloaded below.
ps. a number of people have asked if i have an Amazon wish list for people to thank me for these lessons, I don’t have one but i have added a PayPal link on my site to accept donations. 
In this lesson we use some of the fusebox variables that are available at run time, use the attributes scope for passing data between fuseactions and use XFAs to allow us to control application flow.
The completed application is available for download below.
I’ve made some changes to directory structure and changed to a PDF format, Lesson1 has been changed accordingly
This lesson gets you to create a simple Helloworld fusebox4 application.
If you can’t get the application working, you can download the source files below.
I’m going to begin a series of beginners guide to Fusebox4, starting with a simple HelloWorld application through to using Fusebox4 with MVC style architecting.
I’ve created a new category ‘LearnFB’ which you can add to your RSS aggregator if you don’t already receive my primary feed, the URL for the LearnFB feed is here
The offical gmail alerter can be found at http://toolbar.google.com/gmail-helper/ much like the previouslt posted tool except it’s the offical Google version.
I just read an interesting report about a guy who was using AOLs instant messenger client. He was discussing his 401 (k) pension policy with his boss (who was female) - much to his horrow later he discovered that (k) gets rendered as a pair of red smooching lips!
There’s a lesson to be learned there!
Want to access your Gmail via POP3, then ’Pop goes the Gmail’ is for you. It’s another .Net project (like the Gmail alerter) which converts gmail from the web into POP3 (according to the info)
The site is http://jaybe.org/info.htm
EDIT: Digging on the Google website I’ve found the list of features the Gmail team are working on, here and it appears they’ve got POP3 access flagged as we’ll try (you’ll need a Gmail login to read the feature list though!) I’ve even found rumours of allowing you RSS access to your inbox!!!
I happen to have a Gmail invite sitting in my Gmail account, i remember seeing on eBay people auctioning their Gmail invites and was curious to see if it was still going on. I came across an auction for a Gmail alerter - not wanting to pay for such a thing i googled ‘gmail alerter’ to see what was already out there.
This site http://johnvey.com/features/gmailapi/ has just what i was looking for a Gmail Alerting Agent which sits in the system tray alerting you to new posts etc and even add contacts from your dekstop. I’m sure it’s going to be something Google integrate into their IE toolbar but at the moment i’ll make do with this. The site also has some interesting info on how Gmail works too which is well worth reading!
