Write Pro: Creating headers/footers

2018-10-05 Thread Pat Bensky via 4D_Tech
If I create a new WP document from scratch, is there any way to add a
header or footer to the document? Or do I have to start with a template
that has a header/footer and modify it?

Re: Pictures Outside Datafile - Calculate Path

2018-10-05 Thread JOHN BAUGHMAN via 4D_Tech
The only way I know of is to force a save of the record then look for a file 
with the latest modified date. That is one of the reasons I switched to  Custom 
Mode. The primary reason I switched, however, is that otherwise the external 
folder is included in 4D Backup. In our case the external folder had grown to 
near 300gb which caused a backup to take 5 hours. After switching the backup 
now takes less than 20 mins.

Re: Defining and documenting Objects

2018-10-05 Thread Kirk Brooks via 4D_Tech
Paul,
You know it's perfectly acceptable to just not even worry about it.
Personally I never wrote a SOAP API or client and it looks like I never
will. :-)

If you don't need dot notation and don't see anything on the horizon that
will require it spend that time doing other things. I've seen some
implementations of objects and dot-notation that really did nothing useful
except inject new techniques into a stable environment with no particular
benefit.

This reminds me of a former neighbor in our condo and I talking about some
work that needed to be done to the property. We were going over the options
and extent of the work. Not surprisingly I tended to want to make things
perfect and last forever. He heard me out and simply said at his age, "it
only has to last as long as I do." Whether that's short sighted or profound
it's a perfectly valid point of view.

Re: Defining and documenting Objects

2018-10-05 Thread Paul Dennis via 4D_Tech
I've been thinking about it more from the point of practicalities than the
coding. I understand how we can create documentation of the objects. My
problem is three years down the line when you revisit some old code written
by third-party. With tables and records and the structure it's relatively
straightforward to track through the code and work out what's going on. I
can see this being a real problem with objects. There just doesn't seem to
be any visibility. The data could be buried many layers down in an object
let alone all the quotes, dots and semi colons involved. I think my first
step is to have another eye test.
Paul
