Online Contact List without Active Directory - list

sorry for asking direct questions in here, but i couldn't find any solutions to my problem.
Is there any way of creating/hosting a contact list (like active directory) for phones (android and ios alike) on my website. Or any chance of a way to distribute my contact list to my users via PHP scripts.
I can use my own phonebook application -show contact info like CIA (Caller ID App), dial numbers from app- but i need a way to import contact list and delete it when privileges gone.
I will appreciate any help. (this is not for a paid application)
Thanks in advance.

How to model django apps

i'm building a web app customer ticketing system using Django. i'm stuck and drawing blanks. accounts would create client, send email to sign up, and update tickets that clients create. clients would login and be able to create a ticket and view already created tickets. wondering if i should create my models all in app or so i create separate apps like accounts app, ticket app and client app. I've tried searching on google but unable to find a specific answer to my question. any help would be appreciated as i'm new to database modeling.
It's completely up to you - it's your web app after all. But my suggestion would be to keep everything separate. The rule of thumb is - every app should have only one main thing that it does. For every app, can you describe what it's main purpose is? If you are listing more than one, then it's an indication that it should perhaps be a new app.

how to make a login first page to enter into the joomla based website?

i am very beginner in web development and making my first project website. please help me i want to make a website in joomla 2.5. i want to use a login page to enter into the website because for the moment i want keep everything behind the door. only users with password will enter into the site. i tried to search on the below link but could not succeed.
http://docs.joomla.org/Screen.menus.edit.15#Internal_Link_-_User
please anyone help me.
alot of thanks in Advance)))
you can get this working by setting up access level of all your menu items as registered. Except the one you want to use for login page.
I would not recommend setting up access levels on your menu at this stage of building your site.
If all you're trying to achieve is that everyone has to have a username and password to get to the site, I would use folder security through your hosting control panel(CPANEL or PLESK probably).
Setting up Folder security here will mean users have to login to get to the site but the site can be built as if it were public.
Setting menu security in Joomla can lead to confusing beginner experience when items don't show and you can't figure out why.

Facebook Open Graph API - action-type & object-type of another application (foursquare)

I am trying to retrieve a user's foursquare checkin data that is published using the open graph to Facebook. I am generally having trouble finding information (namespace, action-types and object-types) about an application that I do not own.
So far my application has successfully asked the user for (what I believe are) the appropriate permissions to access data that they have submitted to the foursquare FB application:
user_actions:playfoursquare
I found 'playfoursquare' from the url when I visit a foursquare application page in the new timeline:
http://www.facebook.com/[my_username]/app_playfoursquare
Now I am trying to query the Graph Api using a url with the following structure: (ref: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/objects/#retrieve)
GET /me/{namespace}:{action-type}/{object-type}
Now, in the meta data of a foursquare venue page I found a og:type of 'playfoursquare:venue'.
So far I have what I suspect are the namespace and object-type. I'm just short and action-type.
From a user's foursquare application page on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/[my_username]/app_playfoursquare) there is a lot of references to 'check-ins' so I have made an assumption about the action-type and concluded that the graph api request should be:
me/playfoursquare:{checkins,check-ins,check_ins}/venue
I tried all above variations of 'check in' and they all return:
OAuthException - Unknown path component - 2500
I can't believe that this detective work is the best way to determine the properties of another application on the Open Graph. I guess I am missing something obvious.
Either way I would appreciate any help anyone can offer here. I'm at a bit of a loss.
Thanks,
Gfte
Yes, currently, while its easy to find the namespace of another application (inspect some html, look at URLs) - its not possible to find the action names used by another app - you have to guess.
But for Foursquare, after doing some trial and error myself, I've been able to determine that their current actions are GET-able at the following URLs:
https://graph.facebook.com/me/playfoursquare:checkin_to?access_token=TOKEN
https://graph.facebook.com/me/playfoursquare:became_the_mayor_of?access_token=TOKEN
https://graph.facebook.com/me/playfoursquare:unlock?access_token=TOKEN
once you have the user_actions:playfoursquare and/or friends_actions:playfoursquare permissions.

Facebook communication to Application

The start-up i currently work for is oriented around restaurant wait times. For our v1.25 specifications our clients -restaurants- that have Facebook pages want to be able to communicate to their app profile from their Facebook page.
The closest i have came to answering this question is the Graph API. However, the Graph API only allows us to read and write data to FB pages. So, is there a way for a restaurants FB page to write to its app profile? Secondly, Loso, whom we have modeled some of our designs from has this ability, does anyone have an idea as to how they have done it?

Here is an option that you can consider...
When you are designing the app you can also develop a page tab to go with it...
You will find this option in the basic settings of the app.
You can make it to install for all first time users of your app, by getting a list of all his pages he created using that profile then install it on the one he selects.
This page tab when installed on a page will appears just where other tabs on the page appers(e.g. events, notes etc. occurs)
You can provide your required functionality on this tab as you like.
Thus the user can just select that tab on the page and use its functionality to post on the profile page of the app.
Hope this works for you... and also u can check out the jobcaster app it does something like that!

setup payment for django satchmo

this is a newbie satchmo question...so I've implemented satchmo for a django e-shop I am building. I have setup sathcmo following the tutorials, created some products, tested that I can make an order, and then switched to 'real mode', on http://site/settings, clicking on 'accept real payments'. The question is how I can setup the payments to be made on my bank account (a bank in Greece)?
I have not found any reference on this, so please help!
btw, on the checkout page, I get this
You'll need to fill out at least the fields with a *
How do you want to pay?
Payment method*
Payment test module
Gift Certificate
so what does payment test module means? Do I have to install another application? Currently setting.py contains
'payment',
'payment.modules.dummy',
'payment.modules.giftcertificate',
Thanks a lot for any help!
Satchmo has multiple payment methods. I am not sure exactly what payment methods would support interacting with your Greek bank account. Typically people use something like Authorize.net, paypal or google to collect payments.
