  • Shake to open view modally

    - by Vivas
    Hi, I have my 'shake' working fine (using motionEnded), based off of Apple's GLPaint code. When the user shakes the device (running 3.0 and up) I want to open a view controller modally using presentModalViewController. In my appdelegate I have the notification (as per the GLPaint sample code): [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(shakeToOpenHiddenScreen) name:@"shake" object:nil]; In my shakeToOpenHiddenScreen I just want to open view 'x' modally but I don't think that my appdelegate will respond to presentModalViewController. Is there a way around this?

  • KVO on the "windows" value of UIApplication?

    - by Ariel Malka
    The following is not working: [[UIApplication sharedApplication] addObserver:self forKeyPath:@"windows" options:(NSKeyValueObservingOptionNew|NSKeyValueObservingOptionOld) context:NULL]; Together with that, on the Observer side: - (void) observeValueForKeyPath:(NSString *)keyPath ofObject:(id)object change:(NSDictionary *)change context:(void *)context { NSLog(@"never reached!"); } Any clues? N.B. My uber-goal is to get a notification when a (system-generated) UIAlertView is shown.

  • How do I set up a shared directory on Linux?

    - by JR Lawhorne
    I have a linux server I want to use to share files between users in my company. Users will access the machine with sftp or secure shell. Here is what I have: cd /home ls -l drwxrwsr-x 5 userA staff 4096 Jul 22 15:00 shared (other listings omitted) I want all users in the staff group to be able to create, modify, delete any file and/or directory in the shared folder. I don't want anyone else to have access to the folder at all. I have: Added the users to the staff group by modifying /etc/group and running grpconv to update /etc/gshadow Run chown -R userA.staff /home/shared Run chmod -R 2775 /home/shared Now, users in the staff group can create new files but they aren't allowed to open the existing files in the directory for edit. I suspect this is due to the primary group id associated with each user which is still set to be the group created when the user was created. So, the PGID of user 'userA' is 'userA'. I'd rather not change the primary group of the users to 'staff' if I can help it but if it is the easiest option, I would consider it. And, a variation on a theme, I'd like to do this same thing with another directory but also allow the apache user to read files in the directory and serve them. What's the best way to set this up?

  • willSendRequest redirectResponse doesn't work in iPhone SDK2.0

    - by WholeIphone
    I use the delegate method connection:willSendRequest:redirectResponse: in SDK 2.2, the code like below: - (NSURLRequest *)connection:(NSURLConnection *)con willSendRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request redirectResponse:(NSURLResponse *)redirectResponse { if(redirectResponse) { if(!self.autoRedirect) { NSLog(@"response will redirect"); request = nil; } } return request; if the request is returned to nil ,it seems it hangs up here, and delegate didReceiveData will not get called. but it works in SDK 3. Any suggestions about this?

  • Object C casting

    - by ct2k7
    Hi, I'm trying to cast this statement: [self handError:noConnectionError]; basically, this statement is in a class, which is not the app delegate, but is the .m file of a view, specifically a view after uitableview, which contains its own uiviewtable. The warning that statement gives me is that the error produced may not be apparent to the UIView (view control container).

  • current location too slow for view

    - by Christian
    Hi, I make an App with a Map in the App and a button to change to the google.Map-App. The code for my position is: -(void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateToLocation:(CLLocation *)newLocation fromLocation:(CLLocation *)oldLocation { float avgAccuracy = (newLocation.verticalAccuracy + newLocation.horizontalAccuracy)/2.0; if (avgAccuracy < 500) { [locationManager stopUpdatingLocation]; locationManager.delegate = nil; } storedLocation = [newLocation coordinate]; The code for the view is: - (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed: @"LogoNavBar.png"]; UIImageView *imageview = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage: image]; UIBarButtonItem *button = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView: imageview]; self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = button; [imageview release]; [button release]; locationManager=[[CLLocationManager alloc] init]; locationManager.delegate = self; locationManager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyBest; locationManager.distanceFilter = kCLDistanceFilterNone; [locationManager startUpdatingLocation]; mapView.showsUserLocation = YES; NSLog(@"storedLocation-latitude für MKregion: %f", storedLocation.latitude); MKCoordinateRegion region; region.center.latitude = (storedLocation.latitude + 45.58058)/2.0; region.center.longitude = (storedLocation.longitude - 0.546835)/2.0; region.span.latitudeDelta = ABS(storedLocation.latitude - 45.58058); region.span.longitudeDelta = ABS(storedLocation.longitude + 0.546835); [mapView setRegion:region animated:TRUE]; MKCoordinateRegion hotel; hotel.center.latitude = 45.58058; hotel.center.longitude = -0.546835; HotelPositionMarker* marker = [[HotelPositionMarker alloc] initWithCoordinate:hotel.center]; [mapView addAnnotation:marker]; [marker release]; } My problem: when the "viewDidLoad" start, the "storedLocation" is still 0.0000 it takes a bit longer to get the own position than to start the view. The Log for the "storedLocation" in the "viewDidLoad"-section is 0 while the Log of the "storedLocation" in the "-(IBAction)" when the map is visible contains the right values. How can I manage it to have my coordinates before the view load? I need them to center the view concerning the own position and the position given by me. MKCoordinateRegion region; region.center.latitude = (storedLocation.latitude + 45.58058)/2.0; region.center.longitude = (storedLocation.longitude - 0.546835)/2.0; region.span.latitudeDelta = ABS(storedLocation.latitude - 45.58058); region.span.longitudeDelta = ABS(storedLocation.longitude + 0.546835); [mapView setRegion:region animated:TRUE];

  • Configure IIS to pass-through CGI output without any conditioning

    - by Daniel Watrous
    I'm building a web service on Windows 2008 R2 with IIS 7.5 and Python 2.5. Right now I have the Handler Mappings and everything else setup just fine, Except that IIS is modifying what it gets back from the CGI script before sending it along the the client. Here's an example: I wrote the following CGI script: # hello.py print "Status: 400 Bad Request" print "Content-Type: text/html" print print "Error Message" According to the HTTP spec this should be fine and a Status of 400 should allow for a description of the error message in the body of the response. When the server response actually comes back to me I get the following: Status: 400 Bad Request Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2011 17:58:30 GMT X-Powered-By: ASP.NET Connection: close Content-Length: 11 Server: Microsoft-IIS/7.5 Content-Type: text/html Bad Request I've seen on this forum and others where I can change or eliminate the X-Powered-By header element, but I would like IIS to leave it alone altogether. I'm not sure why it takes my response, deletes "Error Message" from the body and replaces it with "Bad Request" and then adds all that other junk in. Is there some way to tell IIS to just send the response along without making any changes at all?

  • Enabling JMX for proxool with tomcat

    - by dialt0ne
    I am trying to get proxool's MBeans available so that I can see/manipulate them with jconsole. I have jconsole working, but I don't see anything related to proxool. The system is using Sun Java 1.5.0_17 (I know, I know... I'm working with the developers to upgrade). JMX is enabled by modifying $JAVA_OPTS in my tomcat 5.5 startup script: SJO="$SJO -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote" SJO="$SJO -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=4998" SJO="$SJO -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false" SJO="$SJO -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false" JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS $SJO" I have proxool configured with JNDI in server.xml: <GlobalNamingResources> <Resource name="jdbc/database" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource" factory="org.logicalcobwebs.proxool.ProxoolDataSource" user="username" password="password" proxool.driver-url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@fqdn.example.com:1521:MYSID" proxool.driver-class="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" proxool.alias="mysid" proxool.maximum-connection-count="20" proxool.statistics="20s,5m,15m" proxool.statistics-log-level="INFO" proxool.jmx="true" proxool.verbose="true" /> </GlobalNamingResources> My test .jsp can run queries and I can see it using the connections with the proxool admin servlet, but I'm unsure if there's more I need to configure in tomcat or proxool to get JMX functioning. Advice? jmxproxy info edit: The jmxproxy servlet is working - when I go to the URL http://tomcatserver.example.com:4999/manager/jmxproxy/?qry=*:type%3DRequestProcessor,* the results are: OK - Number of results: 2 Name: Catalina:type=RequestProcessor,worker=http-8080,name=HttpRequest0 modelerType: org.apache.coyote.RequestInfo bytesSent: 0 requestBytesSent: 0 contentLength: -1 bytesReceived: 0 requestProcessingTime: 1297983483666 globalProcessor: org.apache.coyote.RequestGroupInfo@32dc51c8 requestBytesReceived: 0 serverPort: -1 stage: 0 requestCount: 0 maxTime: 0 processingTime: 0 errorCount: 0 Name: Catalina:type=RequestProcessor,worker=jk-127.0.0.1-8009,name=JkRequest794 modelerType: org.apache.coyote.RequestInfo virtualHost: tomcatserver.example.com bytesSent: 0 method: GET remoteAddr: 172.30.3.51 requestBytesSent: 0 contentLength: -1 workerThreadName: TP-Processor15 bytesReceived: 0 requestProcessingTime: 9 globalProcessor: org.apache.coyote.RequestGroupInfo@1e7d3b8e protocol: HTTP/1.1 currentQueryString: qry=*%3Atype%3DRequestProcessor%2C* requestBytesReceived: 0 serverPort: 4999 stage: 3 requestCount: 0 maxTime: 0 processingTime: 0 currentUri: /manager/jmxproxy/ errorCount: 0 And more to the point http://tomcatserver.example.com:4999/manager/jmxproxy/?qry=Catalina:type%3DEnvironment,resourcetype%3DGlobal,name%3DProxool yields: OK - Number of results: 0

  • Import csv data (SDK iphone)

    - by Ni
    I am new to cocoa. I have been working on these stuff for a few days. For the following code, i can read all the data in the string, and successfully get the data for plot. NSMutableArray *contentArray = [NSMutableArray array]; NSString *filePath = @"995,995,995,995,995,995,995,995,1000,997,995,994,992,993,992,989,988,987,990,993,989"; NSArray *myText = [filePath componentsSeparatedByString:@","]; NSInteger idx; for (idx = 0; idx < myText.count; idx++) { NSString *data =[myText objectAtIndex:idx]; NSLog(@"%@", data); id x = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:0+idx*0.002777778]; id y = [NSDecimalNumber decimalNumberWithString:data]; [contentArray addObject: [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:x, @"x", y, @"y", nil]]; } self.dataForPlot = contentArray; then, i try to load the data from csv file. the data in Data.csv file has the same value and the same format as 995,995,995,995,995,995,995,995,1000,997,995,994,992,993,992,989,988,987,990,993,989. I run the code, it is supposed to give the same graph output. however, it seems that the data is not loaded from csv file successfully. i can not figure out what's wrong with my code. NSMutableArray *contentArray = [NSMutableArray array]; NSString *filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"Data" ofType:@"csv"]; NSString *Data = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:filePath encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil ]; if (Data) { NSArray *myText = [Data componentsSeparatedByString:@","]; NSInteger idx; for (idx = 0; idx < myText.count; idx++) { NSString *data =[myText objectAtIndex:idx]; NSLog(@"%@", data); id x = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:0+idx*0.002777778]; id y = [NSDecimalNumber decimalNumberWithString:data]; [contentArray addObject: [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:x, @"x", y, @"y",nil]]; } self.dataForPlot = contentArray; } The only difference is NSString *filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"Data" ofType:@"csv"]; NSString *Data = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:filePath encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil ]; if (data){ } did i do anything wrong here??

  • How does Tunlr work?

    - by gravyface
    For those of you not in the US, Tunlr uses DNS witchcraft to allow you to access US-only (and UK-only stuff like BBC radio online) services and Websites like Hulu.com, etc. without using traditional methods like a VPN or Web proxy. From their FAQ: Tunlr does not provide a virtual private network (VPN). Tunlr is a DNS (domain name system) unblocking service. We’re using sophisticated technologies (a.k.a. the Tunlr Secret Sauce ©) to re-adress certain data envelopes, tricking the receiver into thinking the envelope originated from within the U.S. For these data envelopes, Tunlr is transparently creating a network tunnel from your location to our U.S.-based servers. Any data that’s not directly related to the video or music content providers which Tunlr supports is not only left untouched, it’s also not even routed through Tunlr. In order to use Tunlr, you will have to change the DNS address. See Get started for more information. I can't really wrap my head around how this works; I have always assumed that these services performed a geolocation lookup via your client IP. Just really curious as to how this works. EDIT 2 I believe they're only proxying the initial geo check and then modifying the data stream request to include your real IP address so that the streaming is direct, not proxied.

  • How to set up my belongs_to and has_many reference

    - by dagda1
    Hi, I have an ExpenseType object that I have created with the following migration: class CreateExpenseTypes < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up create_table :expense_types do |t| t.column :name, :string, :null => false t.timestamps end end I can see the table name is the pluralised expense_types. My question is, how do I reference this type in a belongs_to relationship? Is it: belongs_to :expensetype or is it belongs_to :expense_type I do not seem able to set it up correctly. Cheers

  • chrooted sftp user with write permissions to /var/www

    - by matthew
    I am getting confused about this setup that I am trying to deploy. I hope someone of you folks can lend me a hand: much much appreciated. Background info Server is Debian 6.0, ext3, with Apache2/SSL and Nginx at the front as reverse proxy. I need to provide sftp access to the Apache root directory (/var/www), making sure that the sftp user is chrooted to that path with RWX permissions. All this without modifying any default permission in /var/www. drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Nov 4 22:46 www Inside /var/www -rw-r----- 1 www-data www-data 177 Mar 11 2012 file1 drwxr-x--- 6 www-data www-data 4096 Sep 10 2012 dir1 drwxr-xr-x 7 www-data www-data 4096 Sep 28 2012 dir2 -rw------- 1 root root 19 Apr 6 2012 file2 -rw------- 1 root root 3548528 Sep 28 2012 file3 drwxr-x--- 6 www-data www-data 4096 Aug 22 00:11 dir3 drwxr-x--- 5 www-data www-data 4096 Jul 15 2012 dir4 drwxr-x--- 2 www-data www-data 536576 Nov 24 2012 dir5 drwxr-x--- 2 www-data www-data 4096 Nov 5 00:00 dir6 drwxr-x--- 2 www-data www-data 4096 Nov 4 13:24 dir7 What I have tried created a new group secureftp created a new sftp user, joined to secureftp and www-data groups also with nologin shell. Homedir is / edited sshd_config with Subsystem sftp internal-sftp AllowTcpForwarding no Match Group <secureftp> ChrootDirectory /var/www ForceCommand internal-sftp I can login with the sftp user, list files but no write action is allowed. Sftp user is in the www-data group but permissions in /var/www are read/read+x for the group bit so... It doesn't work. I've also tried with ACL, but as I apply ACL RWX permissions for the sftp user to /var/www (dirs and files recursively), it will change the unix permissions as well which is what I don't want. What can I do here? I was thinking I could enable the user www-data to login as sftp, so that it'll be able to modify files/dirs that www-data owns in /var/www. But for some reason I think this would be a stupid move securitywise.

  • UITabBarContrtoller achieve from a different class in iPhone

    - by baluedo
    Hi! I have the following problem: There is a class that includes five tabs in the following way: mainMenuClient.h #import <UIKit/UIKit.h> @interface MainMenuClient : UIViewController { UITabBarController *tabBarController; } @property (nonatomic, retain) UITabBarController *tabBarController; @end mainMenuClient.m -(void)viewDidLoad { UIView *contentView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame]]; contentView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor]; self.view = contentView; [contentView release]; ContactListTab *contactTab = [[ContactListTab alloc] init]; ChatTab *chat = [[ChatTab alloc]init]; DialerTab *dialer = [[DialerTab alloc]init]; MenuTab *menu = [[MenuTab alloc]init]; TesztingFile *teszting = [[TesztingFile alloc]init]; contactTab.title = @"Contact List"; chat.title = @"Chat"; dialer.title = @"Dialer"; menu.title = @"Menu"; teszting.title = @"TesztTab"; contactTab.tabBarItem.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"Contacts_icon.png"]; chat.tabBarItem.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"Chat_icon.png"]; dialer.tabBarItem.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"Dialer_icon.png"]; menu.tabBarItem.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"Menu_icon.png"]; teszting.tabBarItem.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"Contacts_icon.png"]; chat.tabBarItem.badgeValue = @"99"; tabBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc]init]; tabBarController.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 460); [tabBarController setViewControllers:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:contactTab, chat, dialer, menu, teszting, nil]]; [contactTab release]; [chat release]; [dialer release]; [menu release]; [teszting release]; [self.view addSubview:tabBarController.view]; [super viewDidLoad]; } In the contactTab class there are a UITableViewController. contactTab.h - (void)updateCellData; - (void)configureCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath; There is a third class, which I would like to achieve is a method of UITableViewController's (from ContactTab). So far I tried this: When I tried to achieve the UItabbarController: MainMenuClient *menu; UITabBarController *tabBarControllerchange = [[UITabBarController alloc] init]; tabBarControllerchange = menu.tabBarController; [tabBarControllerchange setSelectedIndex:0]; When I tried to achieve the UITableViewController: ContactListTab *contactListTab; [contactListTab updateCellData]; Does anybody have an idea for this problem? Thanks. Balazs.

  • NSOperation inside NSOperationQueue not being executed

    - by Martin Garcia
    I really need help here. I'm desperate at this point. I have NSOperation that when added to the NSOperationQueue is not being triggered. I added some logging to see the NSOperation status and this is the result: Queue operations count = 1 Queue isSuspended = 0 Operation isCancelled? = 0 Operation isConcurrent? = 0 Operation isFinished? = 0 Operation isExecuted? = 0 Operation isReady? = 1 Operation dependencies? = 0 The code is very simple. Nothing special. LoadingConflictEvents_iPad *loadingEvents = [[LoadingConflictEvents_iPad alloc] initWithNibName:@"LoadingConflictEvents_iPad" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]]; loadingEvents.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFormSheet; loadingEvents.conflictOpDelegate = self; [self presentModalViewController:loadingEvents animated:NO]; [loadingEvents release]; ConflictEventOperation *operation = [[ConflictEventOperation alloc] initWithParameters:wiLr.formNumber pWI_ID:wiLr.wi_id]; [queue addOperation:operation]; NSLog(@"Queue operations count = %d",[queue operationCount]); NSLog(@"Queue isSuspended = %d",[queue isSuspended]); NSLog(@"Operation isCancelled? = %d",[operation isCancelled]); NSLog(@"Operation isConcurrent? = %d",[operation isConcurrent]); NSLog(@"Operation isFinished? = %d",[operation isFinished]); NSLog(@"Operation isExecuted? = %d",[operation isExecuting]); NSLog(@"Operation isReady? = %d",[operation isReady]); NSLog(@"Operation dependencies? = %d",[[operation dependencies] count]); [operation release]; Now my operation do many things on the main method, but the problem is never being called. The main is never executed. The most weird thing (believe me, I'm not crazy .. yet). If I put a break point in any NSLog line or in the creation of the operation the main method will be called and everything will work perfectly. This have been working fine for a long time. I have been making some changes recently and apparently something screw things up. One of those changes was to upgrade the device to iOS 5.1 SDK (iPad). To add something, I have the iPhone (iOS 5.1) version of this application that use the same NSOperation object. The difference is in the UI only, and everything works fine. Any help will be really appreciated. Regards,

My problem is [self.tableView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]]; works well if the table view style is plain but when I switch to group table view the background color does not changes it stays gray in color.

  • DRY Ruby Initialization with Hash Argument

    - by ktex
    I find myself using hash arguments to constructors quite a bit, especially when writing DSLs for configuration or other bits of API that the end user will be exposed to. What I end up doing is something like the following: class Example PROPERTIES = [:name, :age] PROPERTIES.each { |p| attr_reader p } def initialize(args) PROPERTIES.each do |p| self.instance_variable_set "@#{p}", args[p] if not args[p].nil? end end end Is there no more idiomatic way to achieve this? The throw-away constant and the symbol to string conversion seem particularly egregious.

  • Setting Up My Home Network

    - by Skizz
    I currently have five PCs at home, three running WinXP and two running Ubuntu. They are set up like this: ISP ----- Modem ---- Switch ---- Ubuntu1 -- B&W Printer | |--WinXP1 | |--WinXP2 Wireless |--Colour Printer | |---------Ubuntu2 |---------WinXP3 (laptop) The Ubuntu1 machine is set up as a PDC using Samba and runs fetchmail, procmail, dovecot to get my e-mail and allow me to access the e-mail via imap so I can read the e-mail on any PC. I'd like to set up the network like this: ISP ----- Modem ---- Ubuntu1 ---- Switch ------WinXP1 | | |--WinXP2 B&W Printer Wireless |--Colour Printer | |---------Ubuntu2 |---------WinXP3 (laptop) My questions are: How to configure Ubuntu1 to act as a firewall. How to configure Ubuntu1 to provide a consistant user authentication across the network, at the moment Samba provides roaming profiles for the XP machines but the Ubuntu2 machine has it's own user lists. I'd like to have a single authentication for both XP machines and linux machines so that users added to the server list will propagate to all PCs (i.e. new users can log on using any PC without modifying any of the client PCs). How to configure a linux client (Ubuntu2 above) to access files on the server (Ubuntu1), some of which are in user specific folders, effectively sharing /home/{user} per user (read and write access) and stuff like /home/media/photos with read access for everyone and limited write access. How to configure the XP machines (if it is different from a the Samba method). How to set up e-mail filtering. I'd like to have a whitelist/blacklist system for incoming e-mails for some of the e-mail accounts (mainly, my kids' accounts) with filtered e-mails being put into quaranteen until a sysadmin either adds the sender to a blacklist or whitelist. OK, that's a lot of stuff. For now, I don't want config files*, rather, what services / applications to use and how they interact. For example, LDAP could be used for authentication but what else would be useful to make the administration of the LDAP easier. Once I have a general idea for the overall configuration, I can ask other questions about the specifics. Skizz I have looked around for information, but most answers are usually in the form of abstract config files and lists of packages to install.
