I downloaded the Access template below for doing a home inventory:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/results.aspx?qu=home%20inventory&ex=1&queryid=0d245f2a%2Dacdc%2D4161%2D92c8%2D8ba16a52ab32&AxInstalled=1&c=0#ai:TC101918100|
The design view is not visible, which is a bit of a nuisance.
Things I've tried:
1) In options/options/current database/ the check boxes (enable layout view & enable design changes for tables in Datasheet view) are both greyed out.
2) I've unblocked the file using Right-Click->Properties.
3) I've tried copying/exporting the objects to another database. But can only copy/export the tables.
4) I've tried holding shift when opening the DB.
5) Enabling all trust permissions etc.
None of these work
Does anybody have any suggestions. (I'm using Office 2010)
Thanks
I know this is an old thread, but just in case someone is still looking for an answer, this worked for me. I converted the Projects Web Database.
The process is as follows:
Create a blank "client" accdb database.
Import all web tables, client forms, client reports from the template web database into the blank client accdb database.
Close the client database and open the template web database.
(Now, you must individually create a client object from each web object. This can be a bit tedious.)
Highlight the web object (a web form, for example) that you want to create a corresponding client object. Click the File Tab, then Save & Publish, then Save Object As, and finally click the Save As Client Object button. Give the Client Object a different name than the web object (add Client to the end of the name, for example).
You will need to repeat these steps for each web query, web form, web report, and web macro in the template web database.
Once every web object has a corresponding client object in the template web database, open up the "client" database and import all client objects that you just created. Rename the objects to their original names (remove the word "client" if you took my suggestion above).
Now you should have a working template database that you can change to you liking.
Home inventory is set up as web forms and these do not have the same design view as the "normal" Access forms.
Albert Kallal says:
Unfortunately , there is no conversion utility.
However, you can use those web forms with VBA or so called Access
client forms.
Solution:
create a new blank database
import all of the tables, queries, reports, macros, etc using the import wizard

I'm building a backend with some core-functionality app (which means, of course, a single DB for the app).
I'm looking for elegant way to create app for every new customer by "copying" some template (basic) app to be able modify every's customer app with specific customer's requirements.
For ex., I have some basic StoreApp in Django. It could have some basic features, models etc. Now, when some new customer wants to sign up, I want dynamically (not manually) create additional copy of the existing StoreApp (of course, under different name and its own DB), make initial migration for it, register it in the settings and so on. Lately, I want to customize this new app according to the customer's requirements. I'm just looking for a way to separate code maintenance for every existing app, but, as I mentioned before, not to create every app manually.
Any elegant way to do it? Some existing plugin for Django?
Thanks in advance,
Efi
I'm having a weird issue with Backand. I created an app, a couple of tables, inserted data, and created a query using their web frontend. Integrated Backand in my Ionic2 app, worked great. A few hours later I added a couple of queries, and got the error message that the object doesn't exist when using the query. I changed the query I used successfully earlier, and got the same result as before the change - so the changes to my queries where not synced to the server (I'd assume). I added a field to a table I did this.backand.object.getList('items') before, but the field was missing. Strangely the data I am adding to the tables, or changing is correctly shown in both my app, and the web frontend.
In summary - data is the same in web frontend and my app, any changes to data model, or queries are shown in web frontend but not in the app.
Anyone has seen that before?
Never mind, 8 hours later everything is in sync. My query can be used in the app, changes to the data model are also seen by the app (through the API).
My company will be rolling out a new website to accompany our product launch and would like to switch over to Wordpress as our content management system. We will be utilizing a Wordpress theme that will allow users to create their own virtual events without having to log into the Wordpress dashboard (back-end). This event information will be displayed on the website for other users to view and register - this is all built into the theme we have purchased.
These virtual events will be held on our software platform, which is built on Django. We would like to utilize Wordpress to manage the login and event creation process, but would also like to have event information displayed on the Wordpress site AND imported to the Django database as well.
For example: Users will need to submit three items on the front-end Wordpress site to create an event: Title, Host Name, and Start Time. When that information is submitted can it be automatically duplicated to the Django database in addition to it being sent to the WP database?
I have already done some research on this matter, but what I have found thus far might not work for our needs. I found this presentation by Collin Anderson - it is similar to what we want to achieve, but I believe the application is a little different: http://www.confreaks.com/videos/4493-DjangoCon2014-integrating-django-and-wordpress-can-be-simple.
I have a lot of experience with Wordpress, but very limited experience with Django. This question is more for research purposes than a "how-to". We want to know if we can continue to plan on heading toward the Wordpress direction or if we should seek alternative methods for our site. I appreciate you taking moment to answer my question.
I'm working on something similar at the moment and found a good starting point was this:

That way, as dan-klasson suggests, you can use the same database for both the wp side and the django side.
In short, first things first take a back up of the wp database in case anything goes wrong.
Create a new django project and set your settings.py to use the wp database.
In this new django project you can use ./manage.py inspectdb > models.py to autogenerate a models.py file of the wp database. Be careful here as there are differences between wp and django conventions. You will need to manually alter some of the auto generated models.py. Django supplies db_table and db_column arguments to allow you to rename tables and columns for the django part if you'd like to.
You can then create a new django app in your django project and place the models.py you've created in there. This new app will be using the same data as your wordpress site. I'm not sure exactly what you want to do but I would be very, very careful about having wordpress and django access the same data simultaneously. You may want to set the django side as read only.
You can then add other apps to extend the django side of things as you wish.
I should point out that I haven't completed my work on this yet but so far so good. I'll update as I find sticking points etc.
I am creating a series of small sites, I'm using the django framework. The theory goes a user comes to a master site, signs up, then he gets his own child site.
Example:
navigate to example.com
user creates an account "mysite"
user then gets his own site: mysite.example.com and he can configure this all he wants
My question: * would it be better to have a "gold" version of the site that gets created for each site?
for instance: cp ~/goldsite ~/mysite and change the database pointers appropriately ** the downside is if I ever have to do maintenance on a file, I would have to change all subsites.
...or * have one host and configure the database to support multiple sites. The DB might get messy.
Any feedback would be great.
Use the same code/database for all the users, otherwise it would be a nightmare to maintain the code. Think about database migrations, backups, update the code with git...
...or * have one host and configure the database to support multiple sites. The DB might get messy.
It shouldn't be really complex, associate each website object with an user and use the permissions properly.
Short Version
Is there any tool that will let me use a single Django admin page to affect multiple Django installations on different servers?
Detailed Version
I've got a bunch of different servers, each with their own Django installation. This works great ... except when I want to do something via the Django admin to all of the servers, in which case I have to log on to each server separately.
For instance, let's say I have a release coming and a co-worker (who's not a programmer) wants to use the admin to make a "message" record about the release for the server's users to see. They have to log in to each server's admin individually, create the message record, then move on to the next server until they've gotten through all of them.
To get around this whenever I have a multi-server change I've been using Git; ie.:
I make a commit with files for the change
I push that commit
I pull that commit on all of the servers at once (using Fabric).
However, this too is sub-optimal, because we can't take advantage of the admin interface, and doing something as simple as adding a "new release coming" message requires an actual (mini-)release itself.
So, it seems to me the best way to handle this would be if there was some sort of meta-admin tool my co-worker could use to Django admin work on multiple servers at once. Does anything like that exist?
