[Gambas-user] strange behaviour from commandline - empty mail attachments
I could build a client which prints a pdf from commandline and sends it to someone via e-mail, the Cairo class makes the pdfs. My Gambas program is called by cron. It checks a mailbox and reads the mails if any. These are contact forms. The data are then processed into a pdf and the resulting pdf sent back to the person which sent the contact form. The strange thing is, as long as I start the program by hand, everything runs as expected. But when it is started by cron, the pdfs which are sent back reach the recipient empty, i. e. 0 Bytes. Sending is achieved by an external Perl script named sendEmail, I shell out to start it. (This is because the SMTP client in Gambas doesn't want to send these mails via any of my providers, haven't found the reason yet.) But it doesn't seem to be this script's mistake. I tested the same pdf-file with a special version of the program which jumped directly into mail despatch, and when I started it from within the IDE, everything ran fine, but from cron it would send 0 byte pdfs. This is slightly OT, but it might have to do with the way Gambas handles Shells or file rights or something completely different... Does anyone here have an idea?

I only give complete paths to the programs, cron starts the Gambas app under my rights, and it is running as expected up to the point where the helper script is to upload the pdf file. Another point: There is a file for the mail body text which is formed by the Gambas app before calling the external script, and the script reads it and inserts it into the mail properly. Rights are 644 for all files. So why does the script send an empty pdf then? In the logs, there is nothing which would point to a refused file. The provider takes and acknowledges receipt of it. So the only thing I could think of is that the script indicates the name of the file xyz.pdf but never sends any data for it, then simply says that's it. So, what could cause the script to overlook one file and accept another? Rolf -- Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite!

[Gambas-user] SMTP client doesn't want
Ok folks, here's my other thread about gb.net.smtp. I want to send an e-mail with an attachment. The MTA is my German Telecom provider t-online, so I use my name as sender and log in. The guys use STARTTLS as far as I know. When I use TLS, I get an authentication failed. When I use SSL, it only says - quit nothing ever happens. Do you see anything missing here: mail.From = eilert-sprac...@t-online.de mail.To.Add(feld[1]) 'recipient's e-mail mail.Subject = Ihre E-Mail mail.Add(Application.Path / mdatei) 'message body mail.Add(Application.Path / feld[0]) 'attachment: pdf-file mail.Host = securesmtp.t-online.de mail.Port = 587 mail.Encrypt = Net.TLS 'also tried Net.SSL mail.User = username mail.Password = password mail.Debug = True mail.Send() Thanks for your help...

Re: [Gambas-user] How to share one datasource across two forms?
Le 11/08/2013 21:27, Marty a écrit : Hello, First let me say thank you to all those who have answered my past posts. As I get deeper into programming databases with Gambas, more questions come out. I have two forms which show data from the same table. The data is split up so that the user interface is less confusing. My first question is how can I show the data on form 2 when the datasource is on form 1? You can't share a DataSource between two different forms, because DataSource is also a control container. But, technically, I could have add a way to specify the DataSource of a control explicitely... I'd like to use a datacombo box to provide input to a field but, get the list from another table. Is this possible? DataCombo takes its contents from another table, provided that it shares a common primary key with the main table. See the documentation of DataCombo.Table, DataCombo.Field and DataCombo.Display. One more. I also need a data aware checkbox. I want to save the logical value of the checkbox to the datasource. Any suggestions? You must implement it by hand at the moment. I didn't implement DataCheckBox, because a database boolean field actually understands three value: True, False and Null. Maybe I could use the Tristate property... I will think about it. Regards, -- Benoît Minisini -- Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite!
