So I made my little booklet and realized that my page numbers were showing up wrong, after 10 or so pages, I started getting 1-2-3-4 repeated all over! What’s wrong? Apparently, you need to tell Scribus that you want more than 10 pages.  So on my master template, where I had put up a # sign to indicate I want the page number to come there, I had to put up ## signs for pages more than 20.  Simple solution, weird behaviour.

Thought I’d share this with the world.

The plugin gives you a few choices to download streaming video/audio from a site by giving you (what it assumes) to be the best link to download the media file.

So after you have downloaded the flv file, simply open up the terminal and run this command:

user@server:~$ ffmpeg -i get_video.flv -ab 56 -ar 22050 -b 500 -s 320X240 video.mpg
A great link that gives more information about this process is in my del.icio.us and here it is: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1656936

Solution:

Use a simple SELECT statement with a defined WHERE clause

Lets assume that TableA and TableB have a field called “Phone” which contains the phone number of the clients and these numbers are obviously stored in a unique index. So what we are going to do is run a simple query to find out which numbers in TableB match TableA.

Assuming you are using linux and you can run this query from the command prompt, this is the way to do it:

user@server:~/ mysql -u USERNAME -p
(the server will ask for your password, enter the password and press Enter)

Now you should be in mysql and the prompt should look different already

mysql> use DATABASENAME
(this command changes the database to the one where you have both the tables)
mysql> select * FROM TableB, TableA WHERE TableB.phone=TableA.phone;

This query will obviously select all fields from TableB and TableA. If you only wanted to select certain fields (for example “name” from TableB and “name” from TableA), then the query would change to:

mysql> select TableB.name, TableA.name FROM TableB, TableA WHERE TableB.phone=TableA.phone;

This will give you just the name column from TableB and name column from TableB.

Now what if you wanted to dump the query result into a text file for future use? Here’s the query:

mysql> SELECT TableB.name, TableA.name FROM TableB, TableA WHERE TableB.phone=TableA.phone INTO OUTFILE ‘/tmp/matchingnames.txt’;

That should do it.

TableA contains a customer database
TableB contains new names that you want to match against your customer database and remove all the names that are already customers.

Solution:

Use “LEFT JOIN” property of mysql to carry out the task.

Lets assume that TableA and TableB have a field called “Phone” which contains the phone number of the clients and these numbers are obviously stored in a unique index. So what we are going to do is run a simple query to find out which numbers in TableB do not exist in TableA.

Assuming you are using linux and you can run this query from the command prompt, this is the way to do it:

user@server:~/ mysql -u USERNAME -p
(the server will ask for your password, enter the password and press Enter)

Now you should be in mysql and the prompt should look different already

mysql> use DATABASENAME
(this command changes the database to the one where you have both the tables)
mysql> select * from TableB LEFT JOIN TableA ON TableB.phone=TableA.phone WHERE TableA.phone IS NULL;

This should show you all the names in TableA that do not have a match in TableB.

Suppose you wanted to dump this file into a .txt file so you could use it elsewhere, the above command would change to:
mysql> SELECT * FROM TableB LEFT JOIN TableA ON TableB.phone=TableA.phone WHERE TableA.phone IS NULL INTO OUTFILE ‘/tmp/scrubbedfilename.txt’;

This will dump the file with the unmatching records from TableA in the /tmp directory of your linux filesystem.
