How to use CDF in standalone mode - pentaho

I'm using pentaho CDE which is excellent. I've seen you can use a dashboard in standalone with an obscure url like
http://localhost:8080/pentaho/content/pentaho-cdf/RenderXCDF?solution=bi-developers&path=/analysis&action=Test.wcdf&template=mantle
However I can't get it work neither find a document about it. Does anybody know what the parameters stand for or a link to an official documentation ?
For example I'm not sure what is the difference between the solution and the path. Also should I use a wcdf or an cdfde ? (what is the difference between them).
Many thanks.

The url you posted is for CDF dashboards, not CDE. They are not the same, although CDE is based and built on CDF.
That url should work for CDF dashboards. The url for CDE dashboards is
http://localhost:8080/pentaho/content/pentaho-cdf-dd/Render?solution=foo&path=&file=bar.wcdf
file is always the wcdf
solution is the top folder on the repository browser
path is the intermediate folder path from the first folder down to the wcdf file. So if your wcdf is at foo/bar/my.wcdf, solution=foo, path=/bar and file=my.wcdf

Is there anyway to get this table data into iOS app?

I work with a company who outsources their website. I'm trying to retrieve data from the site without having to contact those who run it directly. The table data I'm trying to retrieve can be found here:
http://pointstreak.com/prostats/scoringleaders.html?leagueid=49&seasonid=5967
My methodology thus far has been to use google chrome's Developer Tools to find the source page, but when I filter under the network tab for XHL, only the info of the current games can be found. Is there anyway to scrape this data (I have no idea how to do that; any resources or direction would be appreciated) or another way to get it? Am I missing it in the developer tools?
If I had to contact those who run the website, what exactly should I ask for? I'm trying to get JSON data that I can easily turn into my own UITableViewController.
Thank you.
Just load the page source and parse the html.

Visitor File Uploader

I have created a Google site for my class, I am trying to place a file uploader on my page. I have found an exemplar codes on the following sites
https://sites.google.com/site/appsscripttutorial/user-interface/upload-doc
https://sites.google.com/site/toolsclass/apps-scripts/file-uploader (deposits into a specific folder but doesn't seem to work)
but I am a complete novice when it comes to app scripts etc so am in desperate need of a real basic step-by-step set of instructions to get the uploader on my site. If it can also be adapted so that the uploaded files are deposited within a specific folder within my Google Drive then it would be greatly appreciated.
There are plenty of code examples of forms with file upload, this one for example shows a full featured form. Try also a search on this forum in the Google-apps-script tag
Try to include the https://driveuploader.com/ via the iFrame embedding.
This is definitely the easiest way how to receive the files from your web visitors into your Google Drive.

How to know the url from a pdf component? (Tridion2009)

We have some pdf as a multimedia components. And I would like to know the url before I publish the page where we are using the pdf. The component is already published.
I was trying to guess looking another examples: domain/en/multimedia/Name_pdf.pdf
But didn't work...
¿Someone knows the rule?
Thank you,
A lot depends on how you are handling the multimedia component within your templates, whether you are creating variants (probably not for PDF files) and, to a certain extent, what kind of delivery environment you are using and how it is configured.
If you are trying to output a link to your published binary from a template, you should probably use the out-of-the-box functionality by outputting syntax like
text
from your templates and then using the other default TBBs to publish the component and resolve the link for you.
However, in a default, standard 2009 environment, with normal publishing, you should find that your file is simply published to the file system at
<Publication Images Path>\<Binary Filename>
With the link resolving to
http://<Your server>/<Publication Images URL>/<Binary Filename>
Note:
In earlier versions of Tridion the binary filename was manipulated to include the TCM Id for uniqueness, but by 2009 this was no longer the case

File hosting to track total downloads of a PDF

I am looking for a web service that will allow me to upload a PDF and can track the number of times it is downloaded regardless of the source. I am aware of Google Analytics event tracking on my site but the issue here is that I need to give the file path to a number of partner sites and would like a centralized place to view total downloads among all partners. A breakdown of downloads by source would be awesome but not necessary. I can't rely on getting numbers from all of the partners as some may not even have GA set up at all.
Does something like this exist? Free is nice but would be willing to pay for an account if necessary.
Thanks.
Ended up using bit.ly to to shorten the path to the PDF hosted on my server. Gave the shortened url to the partners. Bit.ly provides good click stats by simply adding a "+" to end of the shortened url so we could see results.
Have you tried Ge.tt ?
I believe it shows number of times your files has been downloaded.

Rebol SOAP Server

Where can I find the source of the soap server in rebol mentioned here:
http://www.rebolplanet.com/zine/rzine-1-02/#sect6.
the link http://www.compkarori.co.nz/reb/discordian.txt doesn't work any more.
It's also now in my GitHub repo
https://github.com/gchiu/Rebol2/blob/master/Scripts/discordian.r
Whenever you have this sort of question, try pasting the URL into the search box of archive.org (The Internet Archive).
In this case, a copy of the file was snapshotted in 2004:
http://web.archive.org/web/20040205210622/http://www.compkarori.co.nz/reb/discordian.txt
(You might let the operators of the site know the %reb/ directory is missing, since the others in the set are still there.)
