Designed New Digit Archive, Download it here

vaibhav.Kanwal · 27-01-2009, 06:29 PM

Update
Thanks for your support! The Digit Archive has been included in the July issue 2009 of the Digit Magazine

W00T!

Added an Auto-Update feature to version 2.0.Now the Archive database will be updated from the internet. All previous users are requested to download the latest version.
__________________________________________________ ________________________________
On this extended weekend I have been able to make an application which works like The Original Digit Archive. I've used Microsoft Visual Basic 6 for designing the front end and connected it with Microsoft Access.

Updated to July 2009. Here is the download link.
http://files.getdropbox.com/u/131175...chive%20v2.zip

The Zip contains two files :

* My Digit Archive v2.exe
* Archive.mbd

My Digit Archive

* Allows user to search the database according to Name, Month & Category.
* Displays the Details of the selected Software as : Month, Category & Year in which it was published.
* Source of my Database was monthly Contents uploaded on the Forum. So, Keeping the source in mind I couldn't implement the Type & Size of software.

Update
Provided a both Automatic and manual update through which the user can update the Database each Month. I Update my Database and offer it as a download from the Internet for other users.

Known Bugs
Presently Two in The Manual Update section, Archive works flawlessly :

1. Insert New Data: During Manual updation, The name cannot have ' (apostrophe). If it is entered, The Program crashes and exits. I guess its related to the 'String' during SQL insertion messing up.

2. Insert New Data : The Software names are separated using a NextLine. So, it is important to leave an extra Line after the last software name.

I'm currently doing BCA (3rd Year), All comments and suggestions are welcome...

The database has softwares of both CD/DVD alongwith other DVDs which come alongwith special issues.
It doesn't contain Games, Trailer, Music and Movies though. Making the database was very time consuming process so i left the above mentioned things.

My source for the software index , as mentioned earlier remains Feedback Section of the Digit forum.

vaibhav.Kanwal · 07-03-2009, 01:05 PM

Added DVD Contents of March 2009!

Bookworm · 08-03-2009, 06:18 PM

It was good but the the Digit Archive which comes with Digit is more user-friendly. But very good job done.:-P

09-03-2009, 08:39 AM

thanks for this vaibhav.Kanwal

Krazy Bluez · 09-03-2009, 02:21 PM

Nice done...I think it will be easier to add more database through this method...correct me if I am wrong...but one thing you can improve is by adding some images to make it more user friendly...like the current DA...but nice programming btw...

**topgear** · 27-03-2009, 06:14 AM

Nice work. Now it will be easier to find what soft is on what disc.

One question : Do I need to have access or open office base installed to use this app ?

I was getting the famous RS sh|t ( your ip is already downloading a file & you have to wait xxx mins ). I was able to download the file after 30 mins of waiting. So I compressed & uploaded it on media fire :

File Name : Digit Archive - Vaibhav.rar
Size : 113.43 KB
Download Link : http://www.mediafire.com/?jnfgzvxyytc

Here is the virustotal scan result : http://www.virustotal.com/analisis/8...53766311370e67

Now you guys don't have to wait for downloading this file

toofan · 27-03-2009, 08:17 AM

GReat work by vibhav and very helpful work by topgear.

vaibhav.Kanwal · 28-03-2009, 10:40 AM

@topgear
No you do not need any Access or Open Office installed to use Digit Archive.
Thanks for uploading it to mediafire

Thanks for appreciation

vamsi360 · 28-03-2009, 05:15 PM

Nice software. Dude do you need any help regarding adding even more to archive? There are many programmers here and we can build together if you can make your software opensource .
We could interact together at digitarchive.sourceforge.com (I a bit more ambitious)

This gives us a chance to develop software to aid our favorite mag.

I've figured that out. I've vista x64 edition installed where there is no office apps is installed & your software worked perfectly on that.

Anyway, thanks for replying.

vaibhav.Kanwal · 03-04-2009, 05:28 PM

Thanks @vamsi360
I do plan to make it open source once digit publishes it. After its on the DVD I'll upload the Source code too.

**topgear** · 04-04-2009, 06:01 AM

Buddy - can you add license type of the apps provided in digit dvds to your soft ?
So it will be easier for us to determine which type of license a particular software has ?

vaibhav.Kanwal · 24-05-2009, 05:01 PM

@Topgear

I pointed out in the first post. The source of the database is Digit Forum where the digit team posts only the software names and their categories. I need to have the size and type of the software only then can I add it in the Archive. I hope you understand.

I have been following up with them for the past 4 months but I dont know whats taking them so long to include it in DVD.

vaibhav.Kanwal · 24-05-2009, 05:04 PM

Updated Digit Archive to May 2009!

Guys could you please ask Digit to include this application in their next issue. I've been trying to do it since the past 4 months but nothing fruitful has emerged till yet.
