Testing a carousel feature in WP

Here are some images/links to IBM Thought Leadership that the team i work for has helped produce. In most cases Unicom intelligence, SPSS Statistics and Modeler have been used to provide analytical insight into the data collected to help drive and validate the content in these documents. If you work in the Government or Education sectors, then these are for you. Happy Clicking (If you want more info then please feel free to drop me a email at dporton@au1.ibm.com )

Send SMTP Email via Gmail

Just helped someone get this sorted and thought i woulds share. The trick was to allow Less Secure apps in your account. Here is the link

https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps?pli=1

Turn it on and then just use the normal CDO code.

Dim oEmail, sEmailFrom, sEmailTo, sEmailSubject, sEmailBody,sBCC

' Send email

sEmailTo = "admin@SmarterDimensions.com"
sEmailFrom = "FromAddress@SmarterDimensions.com"
sEmailSubject = "Email Subject"
sEmailBody = "Email Body this is bold"
sBCC = "SmarterDimensions@live.com.au"


Set oEmail      = CreateObject("CDO.Message")

With oEmail
 With .Configuration.Fields
  .Item["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl"] = True
  .Item["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver"] = "smtp.gmail.com"
  .Item["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing"] = 2
  .Item["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername"] = "douglas.porton@gmail.com"
  .Item["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword"] = "xxxxxxxxxxx"	
  .Item["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport"] = 465
  .Item["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpconnectiontimeout"] = 60
  .Item["http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate"] = 1	
  .Update()		
 End With
End With	

    
oEmail.From     = sEmailFrom
oEmail.To       = sEmailTo
oEmail.BCC      = sBCC
oEmail.Subject  = sEmailSubject
oEmail.HTMLBody = sEmailBody

oEmail.Send()

set oEmail = Null

JustCode : Update a sample record

This code shows you how to update a sample record from an MRS script.

Dim oConnection

' Start code to check if the field has data in it.
    Set oConnection = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")

' Standard Connection String You need to change this
    oConnection.ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Password=MyPassword;Persist Security Info=-1;User ID=MyUser;Initial Catalog=Participants;Data Source=MyServer"
    oConnection.Open()

    If ( oConnection.State = 1 ) Then
        oConnection.Execute("UPDATE TABLE1 SET Queue = 'Fresh' WHERE Queue = 'Completed'")
    End If

    oConnection.Close()

Set oConnection = Null

Just Code : Run MRS from an MRS

This shows us how we can run an MRS from within an MRS file.

Dim oScriptEngine, sScript, oProgram, sResult

' Define the test script
sScript = "Dim x, y, result" + mr.CrLf + _
"x = ""Hello """ + mr.CrLf + _
"y = ""World""" + mr.CrLf + _
"result = x + y"

' Create the script engine and parse
Set oScriptEngine = CreateObject("mrScript.ScriptEngine")

Set oProgram = oScriptEngine.Parsers[0].Parse(sScript, oScriptEngine, 0)

' Execute the script
oScriptEngine.Execute(oProgram, 0)

' Get the result variable value
sResult = oProgram.Variables["result"]  

2×4 Data Collection Interviewer Server Backup Application

I have been on holiday for the last few weeks and during that time I managed to get some articles written. Whilst on holiday I was asked by 2×4 if I wanted to have a play with their backup tool and of course I excepted. This article is about that app and it shows you what it can do and how you can do it in the first release. To be honest , and I get nothing for saying this , I think this will turn into a “Must Have App” for all those users out there , and I know a few , that struggle with or do not even do backups. With a couple of clicks you have backed up a project or restored it. No Complicate procedures , just a few clicks and you are done. Anyway , here is what I did and the screen shots that go with it.

Printing respondent answers from a Data Management Script

It’s been a while since our last article on printing to word, but we thought that we should continue as we have completed some more work on this. In this article you will see how to take the code that has already been written and use it inside of a DMS script to produce a word document for every record.
