FmPro Migrator 6.46 Adds Layout Object Scripting to PHP Code Generator - Published on 01/02/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

California based .com Solutions Inc. today announces FmPro Migrator Platinum Edition 6.46, an important update to their popular database conversion solution for Mac OS X. FileMaker Developers can use FileMaker Pro Advanced and FmPro Migrator Platinum Edition as a rapid application development environment for quickly prototyping PHP web applications. Version 6.46 includes support for the automated PHP conversion of an additional 10 commonly used script steps assigned to layout objects.

Fremont, California - .com Solutions Inc. today is pleased to announce FmPro Migrator Platinum Edition 6.46, an important update to their popular database conversion solution for Mac OS X. FileMaker Developers can use FileMaker Pro Advanced and FmPro Migrator Platinum Edition as a rapid application development environment for quickly prototyping PHP web applications.

FmPro Migrator Platinum Edition now includes support for the automated PHP conversion of an additional 10 commonly used script steps assigned to layout objects. The automated conversion of these additional script steps provides a significant improvement to the overall PHP web application functionality.

Virtually any object on a FileMaker layout can have a script step attached, including: button, image, text label, rectangle, rounded rectangle, circle/oval and line objects. These same objects include button scripting functionality on the converted web application form.

The new Data access preference item provides control over the Add, Edit or Delete records features within the generated web application. This feature removes unnecessary controller and button code, preventing data modification if it is not required in in a publicly available web application. This feature makes it easy to generate a full featured admin application plus also generate a 2nd Read Only version of the web application for public access to the data.

In addition to object scripting features additional reporting features provide script and object dependency reporting for each layout within the converted solution.

Newly added script steps include:
* Enter Find Mode - Redirects the user to the Query form for the same layout.

* Enter Browse Mode - Redirects the user to the View form for the same layout, using the record stored within the $_SESSION['current_record'] variable for the current model.

* New Record - Redirects the user to the Add form for the same layout.

* Delete Record - Prompts for confirmation, then deletes the current record if the user clicks Ok.

* Show All Records - Clears the $_SESSION['foundset'] array for the current model.

* Beep - Uses Javascript code to download and play the included beep1.wav sound file. The implementation of this feature also makes it possible to specify additional sound files for different tasks within the web application.

* Open URL - Opens the specified web page URL in a new browser window.

* Goto Layout - Opens the View form for the specified converted layout, and opens the most recently visited record. If a form using this model has not previously been visited, the first record in the model will be displayed.

* Perform Script - Executes the specified converted script as a function call within the current controller file or AppController.

* Print - Opens the web browser print dialog to print the currently displayed form.

Previously implemented layout object script steps include: Goto Record/Request [First], Goto Record/Request [Last], Goto Record/Request [Previous], Goto Record/Request [Next].

Pricing and Availability:
FmPro Migrator Platinum Edition is priced at $600 (USD) per developer and includes a copy of FmPro Migrator Platinum Edition for both MacOS X (Universal Binary) and Windows platforms. Existing FmPro Migrator Developer Edition customers may upgrade to FmPro Migrator Platinum Edition for $400.

12-Steppers Resolution - Do My Moral Inventory Easily w/ Life Invent

12-Steppers Resolution - Do My Moral Inventory Easily w/ Life Inventory - Published on 01/02/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Massachusetts based independent developer James Hollender has updated his Life Inventory apps to ver. 2.0. Using an iPad, iPhone or iPod touch, users can learn more about themselves than they ever thought possible, and only at a small fraction the cost of a single office visit to a therapist. Life Inventory is the new name for the Step 4 Moral Inventory apps. Originally designed for 12-steppers it was discovered the inventory would also be of benefit to anyone, which is why the name change.

Revere, Massachusetts - Independent developer James Hollender has updated his Life Inventory apps to ver. 2.0. Using an iPad, iPhone or iPod touch, users can learn more about themselves than they ever thought possible, and only at a small fraction the cost of a single office visit to a therapist. Life Inventory is the new name for the Step 4 Moral Inventory apps. Originally designed for 12-steppers it was discovered the inventory would also be of benefit to anyone, which is why the name change.

Note: The terms "Life Inventory" and "Moral Inventory" are interchangeable.

Life Inventories Can Help Anyone:
Although originally designed for persons participating in 12-Step programs, it has since been discovered a Moral Inventory can help anyone analyze their life to learn more about themselves than ever imagined possible ... and at only a small fraction the cost of a single visit to a therapist. Examine your reactions to:

* People
* Institutions and Organizations
* Principles, Ideals and Beliefs
* Sources of Anxiety and Excitement
* Fears
* Sex Relations

Create your own personal Life Inventory using an iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. "Life Inventory iPad" is for the iPad, and "Life Inventory" is for the iPhone or iPod touch.

Background:
The Life Inventory apps were created because of the complexity and length of time needed to complete a proper Moral Inventory. When persons working their way through a 12-step program start creating their own moral inventory and discover that some ways of doing a Moral Inventory might require a thousand spreadsheets, the task seems daunting and many never get around to finishing it, thus depriving themselves of the rewards a completed Moral Inventory can provide. This app is an attempt at finding a way to make the task less time consuming, while at the same time helping the user create a valuable asset in their recovery process.

Storage of the Life Inventory data is done using an underlying database which can be backed up and restored as necessary.

Disclaimer - This app is neither officially produced nor approved by Alcoholics Anonymous or any other Addiction Recovery program. From what is known there have been many Moral Inventory spreadsheets circulating unofficially among AA members for at least 50 years in various versions and this app is based on one the developer found to be useful and more comprehensive than most.

Acknowledgement:
Many thanks to "George" and his "Dungeon Prison Complete" spreadsheet which has been used as the outline for this app. This spreadsheet was developed based on years of his own personal research of the AA Big Book, along with help from many others who had already gone through the process of completing their own Moral Inventories. This was done in order to more fully understand the concepts necessary for completing his own Moral Inventory. George's extensive research resulted in the creation of the "Dungeon Prison Complete" spreadsheet, a detailed set of instructions on how to create a Moral Inventory, including several new concepts not directly covered in the AA Big Book: Sources of Anxiety/Excitement as a 4th Category; and a set of Sex Relations exercises. Both of these new elements were discovered to be critical in eventually understanding why we do what we do, the end result of completing your own Moral Inventory.

Anyone, Not Just 12-Steppers, Can Benefit from Completing a Life Inventory:

The process of completing a Life Inventory doesn't directly address addictions specifically, but rather helps the user examine in detail events that have transpired in their life. The Life Inventory apps gently assists the user in probing into not only what happened, but also why it happened. The questions asked help the user delve into areas often never considered before like:

* What did I want?
* Why did I want it?
* What am I not admitting?
* What lie did I tell myself? (always present)
* What did I leave out or not say?
* What lie did I tell others?
* Have I ever done the same thing?
* Was it any of my business?
* Were my expectations reasonable?
* What was the real truth?
* What was I not seeing?
* Did I fail to see the facts of the situation?
* What actions did I take to get what I wanted?
* What actions did I omit to get what I wanted?

Sometimes the questions are difficult to answer, but once done, they help provide significant insight into why certain choices were made and, more importantly, determining there are often alternative choices available which will make life so much better in the future.

BlackTower3 Destroy/ Free for iOS - Use Complex Physics to Kill Mons

BlackTower3 Destroy/ Free for iOS - Use Complex Physics to Kill Monsters - Published on 01/02/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BuBuCompany today introduces BlackTower3 Destroy free for iOS, the newest of their highly stylized games featuring all black and white graphics, except for the mystical jewels. Players must kill animated, cartoon monsters behind moving and stationary barriers. The player fires an Amethyst, Emerald, or Ruby, each of which ricochet off seven surfaces before dropping to the ground. With 100 stages and ingenious puzzles, motion trails of gemstones create hypnotic patterns against the B&W graphics.

Gunsan, Korea, Republic Of - BuBuCompany today is pleased to introduce BlackTower3 Destroy free for iOS, the newest in their series of highly stylized games featuring all black and white graphics, with the exception of the mystical jewels. Players must kill animated, cartoon monsters behind moving and stationary barriers. The player fires an Amethyst, Emerald, or Ruby, each of which ricochet off seven surfaces before dropping to the ground. With 100 stages and ingenious puzzles, detailed motion trails of gemstones create hypnotic patterns against the black and white graphics. The physics engine, graphics engine, and sound effects are perfectly tuned to provide an always-exciting gaming experience.

There are more than ten different, small, animated monsters in the game who shuffle their feet and look around trying to avoid being noticed. They are hiding, alone or in groups, from the player who is a simple stick figure in the lower left of the screen. Played in portrait orientation, the monsters take shelter on a never-repeating assortment of bizarre structures, on a gameboard filled with obstacles and barriers that make for some very complex ricochets. Depending upon the composition of the item, it will emit a particular sound when hit by one or more gemstones bouncing off surfaces at various speeds. The object of the game is to clear the board of all the monsters, earning one, two, or three stars depending upon the number of gems required. When all the monsters are gone, the player moves to the next stage.

Besides the web of angles in each puzzle, each gemstone has a special capability, and players can select the gem they want to fire (only the launch angle, not velocity, can be controlled with a touch gesture) from those available at that stage. Pinkish violet Amethysts behave normally, bouncing predictably off objects with the angles equal before and after collision. The deep green Emerald also behaves normally, until the player taps the screen while it is moving and it splits into two Amethysts, capable of twice the destruction. The blood red Ruby is similar, but explodes, rather than splits, when the screen is touched.

The gameplay is always highly dynamic with very creative puzzles, projectiles, interactions, and strategies for winning. The stylized, black and white graphics and animation establish a film noir mood, while the shooting gems and motion trails show up in high contrast. BlackTower3 is an eye-catching physics game for iOS that brings some of the style of Frank Miller's "Sin City" to iDevices everywhere.

Feature Highlights:
* Humorous, fun, pick up and play physics game
* Game Center Leaderboards and Achievements
* Retina display support
* Calculate complex reactions to kill monsters
* 100 stages of play (more coming)

"BlackTower3 Destroy is the latest game in my Black Tower series," stated Minsik Kim of BuBuCompany. "The new game takes the characters, gemstones, and graphics of my other games as the basis for this challenging physics game."

Language Support:
* U.S. English and Korean

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 15.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
BlackTower3 Destroy 1.0 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. Upgrades and power-ups can be earned through gameplay or by obtaining gold coins through an in-app purchase.

Fox & Friends Features TraxItAll iPhone App for National Motivation

Posted by: "prMac Mailer" prservices@prmac.com

Fox & Friends Features TraxItAll iPhone App for National Motivation Day - Published on 01/02/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The U.S. Congress has designated January 2nd of each year as "National Motivation & Inspiration Day." As part of this year's observance, the nationally-broadcast "Fox & Friends" morning show featured the TraxItAll iPhone app, a goal-setting tool for iOS devices. TraxItAll enables users to track anything they need to track on a daily basis. Users can take notes, set goals, and quickly see how they're performing. Establish your resolutions and your goals, and then be able to follow them.

Chicago, Illinois - The U.S. Congress has designated January 2nd of each year as "National Motivation & Inspiration Day." As part of this year's observance, the nationally-broadcast "Fox & Friends" morning show featured the TraxItAll iPhone app, a goal-setting tool for iOS devices. During the segment, Kevin L. McCrudden, founder of National Motivation & Inspiration Day, stated that TraxItAll "will help you actually establish your resolutions and your goals, and then be able to successfully follow them."

According to McCrudden, studies show that of all the people who set goals at the beginning of January, 85% will abandon their goals by the end of the month. To remedy this problem and help people become effective in their goal setting, Mr. McCrudden presented the need to establish what are referred to as "S.M.A.R.T." goals. That is, the goals we set need to be:

1. Specific
2. Measurable
3. Attainable
4. Realistic
5. Timely

TraxItAll is an ideal app for helping people to set "S.M.A.R.T." goals, which is why it was selected by Mr. McCrudden to be featured on National Motivation & Inspiration Day. During his appearance on Fox & Friends, Mr. McCrudden stated that TraxItAll "will help you actually establish your resolutions and your goals, and then be able to successfully follow them every single day, every single month. And at the end of the month it will give you a resolution...You were 80%, 90%, 10% [of your goal], so you really can see how well you're doing and then can adjust as you go through the year." He went on to state that "For personal success it's a great application you can use to help you to be successful with your goals."

According to David Canfield, president of TraxItAll Software, "We're very pleased and honored to be selected as a featured product for National Motivation & Inspiration Day, and feel it's a great opportunity for us."

"TraxItAll is specifically designed to give people a way to track, and set goals for, anything that matters to them day-by-day, so it's a great tool for helping people with their New Year's resolutions. We consider it a 'personal accountability tool,' and a very important part of any goal setting is to be accountable to yourself for what you said you were going to do."

"We've had a lot of very positive feedback from our users, often stating that TraxItAll has helped motivate them to reach their goals, and it's always very gratifying to hear how our product has helped people in this regard."

Some Highlights from App Store Reviews:

"In the past I had so many problems staying motivated. Being able to track my progress has helped me so much in accomplishing my goals. This app is brilliant. I love it!" - U.S.

"This is one of those aps that I would just not want to be without now." - U.K.

"Best organiser app so far for me. I've trawled the app store for apps of this nature, but traxitall trumps them all. It's a 5 star app. It's like having a PA, that how good this application is. Well done guys." - U.K.

"For the quick, simple, yet effective tracking of those things I want to keep track of several times a day or week, TraxItAll has become my app of choice." - U.S.
