Back-end Database to slamBook

Some changes:

in the *.pro file it needed to be included
QT += sql    // taking care of case

although the backingdb.cpp file is not functioning properly as expected, it places 21 out of 23 parameters in place [which may still be considered as a failure]. Even after cross-checking the syntax several times and writing from scratch, the  real bug could not be figured out, soon the code would be split into database tables in a 'tab specific' manner hence reducing number of parameters passed per function.


The database, compared to previous HTML outputs, gives an upper hand in data management.

Here are the screen shots of all tabs:

I would be rude if I don't mention Prakhar Prasad in this blog. Also acknowledging all previous names mentioned under label slamBook.

some Qt stuff:

Signals and slots are used for communication between objects.I have implemented it using 

QObject::connect( sourceObj , SIGNAL(typeOfSignalGenerated()) , destinationObj, SLOT(actionToBeInitiatedForSignal()) );

Suppose in Image tab, I paste a URI and click attach button(or press Alt+t) a signal 'click()' is generated by this->ui->pushButton_7, ui being the present object, then it requires this to be acted upon by a SLOT [or a function, written specifically for acting to a SIGNAL] called imageView(). 

[lines 78,79 in mainwindow.cpp].

About the code: xml file is automatically generated WYSIWYG feature of Qtcreater coming handy saving a lot of time in User Interface design.

slots:

void Accept() : this SLOT (or function) reads the values from UI and push to an HTML file. Those values are of QString [using *.toStdString()] type, and needs to be converted to std::string, as no operator<< is defined in order to complete file insertions.

void imageView() : it fetches the image from imageURI provided ans shows it in QGraphicsView.

To compile and view the application, you need to:

pull the code from git@github.com:saurabhsar/slamBook.git
or URI

$ qmake slamBook.pro
$ make

and Run the output file:

$./slamBook

Happy cute(Qt)-ing. 

Slam Book v0.02

Compared to last version, this has the following changes

• a tab exclusively to view image has been added [1].
• now we can switch through textEdit by pressing tab
• some changes in HTML output.
• changes have been made to ambiguous options like 'About', 'You are crazy about', 'Hobbies and interests' to make it more specific [2].
• one line informal description to every textEdit(s).
• the dateTimeEdit is replaced by dateEdit for filling Date Of Birth

Hope you enjoy this!

Slam Book

This is my second project using Qt. Compared to my previous Numerology Calculator, it is a much organized effort having pretty specific files. The whole code was written using Qtcreater as an IDE, Its effectiveness and efficiency made it possible to push out the v0.01 in less than 24 hours form the moment it started.

a screen shot

This application only performs write operations, no pre-existing files generated could be edited or viewed in it. The output is stored as a plain HTML file.

PS: I should mention my friends, who inspired me for this.

My first Qt app

So with sparse matrix on stands, and summer haunting, something had to be done. Qt haunted my empty brain this time. Simple thought of 'MY' app made me Qt aficionado. Now the thing was, WHAT. I have always been fascinated by numerology, so the track was set.

About the code: a SLOT had to be written, taking input from QLineEdit, and calculating the numerology subsequently displaying it to QLabel via QSpinBox.

The first version of looked something like this:

With a QSpinBox showing the numerological equivalent of QString ( or user Input ).


It had some bugs, specially with QSpinBox, The value can be changed and was not right to use it as an output widget, so here came my second version:

Its cool, QLabel replacing QSpinBox, responding to shortcuts like Alt+C, Alt+Q


would be uploading the codes soon...

Apart from it, I have added restrictions to window size to avoid defacing of the app on maximizing.

PS: Suggest me some more numerological stuffs, to make this a real cool app, looking forwar
