Yes, there is a review system in the iTunes App Store where you can post a review for others to read. Reviews are very important to the developers and future buyers of iDayZ so make sure they are fair and offer the good and the bad.

You can add an anniversary through the MobileMe interface just as easy as adding any other data element.

1. Click on the new card button once logged into MobileMe and in Address book
2. On the bottom, click on the Add Field drop down and select Dates
3. Choose "anniversary" or add it via "Custom" if it isn't listed

Since iDayZ reads all event data from your address book (Contacts) all you need to do is to update your contact information. You can do this either on the iPhone / iPod Touch or on your Mac/PC if you are syncing you data.

On the iPhone/iPod touch you need to go to a contact, click edit and from there to the Add Field selector. Towards the bottom of the screen you will see Birthday and Date to which you can add either/or. Start iDayZ back up and it should pick up the change.

New Features

• List view now lists days till event (EX: "82 years old in 3 days")
• List view now calculates yesterday, today, tomorrow for age/year calculation.
• List view now has Last Week, Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow and Upcoming Views
• Can now text (SMS) contact using the Celebrate button.
• Anniversary view now displays next years gift
• Compatible with iPhone 2.2 firmware

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug in list view for age calculation
• Removed blank gifts on Anniversary screen
• Fix for contacts with no first or last name

iDayZ is available in the iTunes Store under the App Store section. You can easily find it by just typing "idayz" into the search in the upper right corner or following the link below.

iDayZ is only $.99.

iDayZ reads in your contacts from your iPhone or iPod Touch every time you start it and looks for all birthdays and anniversaries. If a birthday or anniversary is missing, just go back to your contacts, enter the date and restart iDayZ, it will pick it up.

Yes. Since AdManager is tracking both views (impressions) and clicks it will create a new transaction for every ad view.

You can turn off the counting of clicks and views (either/or) in the Zope Management Interface (ZMI).

No. The click in an HTML banner is not passed through the tracking method. It still counts views, just not clicks.

If the HTML is your own, you can build it so the url is the tracking url in the HTML. This would allow you to track clicks.

To install AdManager just download and untar/zip it and put it into your Zope installation "import" folder which should be at the root of you Zope installation.

1. Log into the Zope Managment interface
2. Go to "Product Management" in Control_Panel
3. Click on the Import/Export button
4. In the Import file name field put AdManager.zexp and click Import
5. You should have successfully installed the product.

Once you have the AdManager properly installed (see installation) you can add a AdFolder and inside that and AdBanner.

1. In the root of your site from the drop down select "AdFolder" and give it a name like "banners"
2. Go inside the folder and from the drop down add a AdBanner
3. 
   
4. Configure the AdBanner to have the right start and stop dates as well as remaining views.
5. Ad the following code to anywhere you want to show an add (like the default template or standard_html_header)

<dtml-with banners><dtml-var show_banner></dtml-with>

The "banners" is the name of the AdFolder when you created it.

<p>You can put as many images as you want in an AdBanner. It will go through them and pick one randomly and does not track the individual images as it tracks at the AdBanner level.</p>
<p>If you want to track each images by itself create an AdBanner for each image.</p>

CTR is Click Through Ratio and is the number of clicks divided by the number of impressions. It shows you how well the AdBanner is doing in reference to other AdBanners.

The AdManager is a simple ad banner product for Zope that has a simple set of features:

• Counts clicks
• Multiple ads with weighting
• Multiple images per ad
• Start / Stop dates
• Impressions

If you are using 0.5.3 or above on Zope 2.1.6 or below you will need add a line to the <b>manage_regenerateDefaultMethods</b> which is under Control Panel / Products / ZDiscussions / ZDTopic

You need to add the 'this(),' statement as seen below

<pre>
dtml-call "manage_addProduct['OFSP'].addDTMLMethod(
   				this(),
               _['sequence-item'],
               title=_.getattr(default_methods, _['sequence-item']).title,
               file=_.getattr(default_methods, _['sequence-item']))">
</pre>

After that the 'Regenerate Method' menu tab should work fine.

In a nutshell, yes.

ZUBB is a very processor intensive application. Since it runs a ZCatalog of all of the posts with all text (which allows for the quick searches) it can take a lot to run through them.

I have boards running up to 4,500 messages on sub GHz Pentium's that do just fine.

ZUBB is set to show the description on the main index page. If there is a description it shows it, if not, it does not. (duh).

To add a description just add a property to the discussion board "folder" or above.

You can use the "manage_propertiesForm" and tack it on to the end of the URL. Name it "description" and use the text field.

When rendering the index_html, new_posts and search methods ZUBB looks for a parameter called "batch_size" and uses that as the amount to show on one page.

If you want to set the batch_size for all of your discussion boards you can add the property batch_size to any folder above the discussion boards.

ZUBB 0.8.0:

ZUBB now includes a option to include the zubb.css file or not.

ZUBB 0.7.0 and below:

The CSS file is called "local_css" and can be used by adding the following code to your standard_html_header before the <body> tag.

<!-- css -->

<dtml-if local_css>

<style type="text/css">

<dtml-var local_css>

</style>

</dtml-if>

<!-- /css -->

Update: ZUBB 0.8+ has a built in option for zubb.css or you can disable it and use your own.

The installation on Windows is pretty much the same except for the location of the files.

If you Zope installs into:
C:\Program Files\Zope\

Put the ZDiscussions.zexp into:
C:\Program Files\Zope\import

Put the whole ZDBase folder into:
C:\Program Files\Zope\lib\python\Products\

Restart your Zope, and follow the rest of the instructions for importing the ZDiscussions.zexp, adding a topic, etc.

This was tested with Zope 2.7.0, ZUBB 0.8 on Windows 2000.

For ZUBB 0.8 and above:

• Download and untar the product package and you will end up with a ZDBase folder
• In the ZDBase folder move the /import/ZDiscussions.zexp into your Zope/import/ directory. This should be at the root level of your Zope installation (unix or windows)
• Move the entire ZDBase/ directory into your Zope Products directory which is either at the Zope install root level or in /lib/python/Products/
• Restart Zope
• In the management interface go to Control Panel > Product Management and click on the Export button.
• In the "Import file name" put ZDiscussions.zexp and click Import.
• Find a place you want to create a ZDiscussion Topic and choose it from the Product list
• Go into the topic and select the "Regenerate methods" tab in menu tabs and click the "Regenerate" Button
• If this is not installed in a CMF site, uncheck the "authentification_required" option in the options menu.
• If you want to allow anonymous posts under the security tab give anonymous Add ZDiscussions Item permission

This is for ZUBB 0.7.0 and before:

• Download to the root of your Zope installation (ex: /usr/local/zope)
• Untar the file (ex: "->tar xvfz ZDiscussions-0.1.1.tar.gz") and restart Zope
• In the management interface go to Control Panel > Product Management and click on the Export button.
• In the "Import file name" put ZDiscussions.zexp and click Import.
• Find a place you want to create a ZDiscussion Topic and choose it from the Product list
• WARNING Give it an ID AND a TITLE (if you don't all your posts will be "No Subject" and you will no be able to give it one later)
• Go into the topic and select the "Regenerate methods" tab and click the "Regenerate" Button (see note below for older versions of Zope
• If you want to allow anonymous posts under the security tab give anonymous Add ZDiscussions Item permission

ZUBB is pretty processor intensive. Every time the index_html is hit, it does a look up through all the posts, finds the newest ones and for each one of those (depending on your batch_size) goes through them and counts the replies.

It is the counting of replies that is so intensive and where you should focus your optimization efforts.

• Reduce the batch_size and you will reduce the amount of topics it needs to fun through
• Remove the "replies" column from the "index_html"
• Use caching in the main page

1. Download and upack the product as in the installation (see installation instructions)
2. Erase the old ZDiscussions product (You can leave ZDBase)
3. Import in the new ZDiscussions.zexp
4. Restart Zope
5. Regenerate your default methods (See Note Below)

It would be possible to take all the methods and have them point to a SQL database but sort of takes away from the full idea of ZUBB. All of the posts, topics, messages are stored in the ZODB (Zope Object Database) and therefore are easily searchable and can interact as part of the whole Zope site. By it into a database you are basically taking away from the power of Zope and might as well use one of the other CGI based boards.

That being said, we did start to develop a SQL ZUBB a few years ago but found that ZODB could live up to the needs of the product.
