WordPress

[Robert McKeever via 4D_Tech]

I’ve just been handed a website to host with 4D. No big deal, I thought. Except 
it built with WordPress.

I have no experience with WordPress, and I’ll need to host it and have 4D 
interact with it (the usual - capture incoming queries, name and address data, 
etc.).

Is it possible? If so, where do I start?

RE: 400 Bad Request

[Timothy Penner via 4D_Tech]

Is it possible that the IP address of the client(ipad) is changing?

The Web Session Management documentation states:
"The 4D HTTP server records the IP that started a session. If a Web client 
located at a different IP address tries to access an existing session, the HTTP 
400 error is returned to the client."

This can happen when switching between Mobile networks and Wifi (like if an 
iphone user walks into Wifi reception and continues using the website after 
their phone automatically switches networks).

If needed, this behavior can be changed using the "Web session enable IP 
address validation" selector of WEB SET OPTION so that the IP Address is not 
validated.

We have had one client who primarily uses iPads who has reported a similar 
issue from time to time over the past few years.

We've never been able to reproduce it since they have around 200 iPads at times 
- which we don't - and they also have done some customizations which make it 
hard to isolate the problem.

If anyone does have suggestions as to possible things to check, I'd also be 
curious.

In the Build window, you have to specify the file path to the volume

v13 - Volume desktop build - windows

[Chip Scheide via 4D_Tech]

I am trying to build an application for use on Windows.

- I have a v13 Dev Pro license (recognized by 4D)
- I have a v13 Unlimited desktop license (recognized by 4D)
- The license manager shows both licenses
- the license manager information matches my Mac version (different #s 
obviously)
- The licenses are attached in the 'build' dialog.
- the build dialog shows Dev Pr as master, and unlit desktop as 
subordinate

When building I get an error 'unable to find 4D volume desktop'

Any Ideas??

Thanks
Chip

Hi All,

One my customer that use one 4D application, ask to me these certification:

The Q1 2019 Windows OS patch validation status and also the validation 
status of the critical patch (WannaCry like) for Remote Code Execution.


Someone know how i can do this certification?

Thanks

Re: v15 to v17 Conversion of Obsolete _o_C_STRING/_o_ARRAY STRING Commands

[Narinder Chandi via 4D_Tech]

Jim,

Hi. In principle, nothing wrong with option 2 I'd say. I think the issue often 
with fixing as you go is that we all work with code that we haven't touched in 
months or even years so arguably these would never be fixed - 4D has flagged 
these as obsolete since v15 and I hadn't touched any of the instances so far!

In the end, after evaluating scope of usage and potential issues I went ahead 
and converted them all. Job done!

Narinder Chandi,

Is there anything wrong with option 2, and just fixing these as you update 
the code around them? The commands still work in v17, even subtables still seem 
to work. I may replace the subtable this time around just because it’s only 
used a couple places and it’s a convenient time to change the structure.

My personal approach with 4D is to wait until I have to touch working code, 
since perhaps by the time the commands don’t work there will be language 
enhancements that make me want to touch the code.

Re: 4D v17 Mac Crashing on First Launch

[Narinder Chandi via 4D_Tech]

Keisuke,

Thanks for the input. So, couple of things on this...
1. I did install directly from the DMG downloaded from 4D
2. historically, I have always partitioned my drive so all of my apps sit on a 
partitioned volume - maybe that caused a problem for 4D 17, but every other 
version I have ever used is installed to the same location and I never 
encountered a problem
3. I did try to install to /Applications on a second attempt, but maybe a 
problem had already been caused by installing in a "non-standard" location?
4. I have installed hundreds of Apps onto my partitioned volume over the years 
and I don't recall any other app ever crashing on first launch because of its 
location

It would be useful to understand why the translocation is occurring?

Regards,
 
Narinder Chandi,
ToolBox Systems Ltd.

4D (or any .app) must be installed by drag & drop from a signed .dmg, 
directly to a subfolder of /Applications,
or by using a signed .pkg.

if you .zip it yourself, or install elsewhere, the .app is translocated and 
you get all sorts of problems.
