[TEASER] It is Alive! SFTP support in LiveCode
Folks, Today, more precisely at 3:03 AM, the SFTP external worked for the first time and transfered its first file. It was a simple text file called test.txt whose content was simply YES, but hey, it worked. The SFTP external is based on libCURL and libSSH2. Right now I managed to build it only for Mac OS X with x86 processors but I think I am able to build it for PPC and Linux as well. Windows might be a little tricky since I am out of a windows machine right now. The main issue was that the libcurl version that is bundled with Mac OS X has no SFTP support, so I had to build my own from source and that had dependencies such as libssh2 and others. After some effort, I could finally build everything and managed to convince XCode to link statically with them (XCode kept trying to link with Mac OS X bundled curl library). So after linking for the first time, it managed to transfer a single text file over SFTP connection. Right now it is a blocking call till I figure out how to do callbacks. There is a silly movie proving it here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1340110/XcodeSnapz002.mov or if you want to view it over the web: http://www.vimeo.com/24707584 (it is waiting in line to be converted right now) There is still a lot of work to do before releasing this external but we're now much closer to SFTP support in LiveCode. This external will be commercial and will probably cost about USD 99 to cover my costs of developing and the amount of tea I am drinking to calm me down after working with gdb... :-D Now, who among you all is felling like a guinea pig and want to join the beta tester group? Initial beta will launch for Mac OS X and then Linux, after that I will worry about Windows. -- http://www.andregarzia.com All We Do Is Code. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: SubStacks and message path
...thanks Robert but 'do login()' was working just fine until I moved it from a login 'card' in the mainstack into into a login substack. And it does again now, since I have taken Jaque's advice to use groups with switched visibility (and background images that simulate popping a substack with a fancy window shape) instead of unnecessary substacks! I think I'm gradually learning how to avoid the bits of LiveCode that I don't understand enough to be able to control! ;-) Best, Keith..

Option Menus
Hello, I have another simple question. In HTML for example, when I set up an Option menu I can set both the Name and the Value of the each of the options in the list. This give me a way to display one thing to the use but reference a different value on selection of that item. In Live Code I can only set one value, not two. This seems to me to be a rather common requirement. If I am asking users to select something in the menu, I want to show them something Nice but actually use a unique ID of some sort when they select it. So I am curious if the community has arrived at a common way of solving this common problem.

Re: How do you build the tabs like in the script editor
Good to see you here, Mark: It's a while since I've been on the list but anyway, how would I go about building the same tab interface (multiple document interface) as the LC script editor? As the user wants to open a document, they would have the choice of overwriting the existing open document, or opening the document on a new tab. The tab would have a close button on it just like LC's. Each opened document would belong to one tab. They user could potentially open as many documents as they want. As the number of opened tabs exceeds the stack width, two new navigation tabs would have to display at the far right. This would allow the user to bring into view those tabs further out to the right, and the other of the 2 navigation buttons would allow the user to view those tabs to the left. Anyone done such a thing? I believe at least one of Jerry's script editors uses horizontal tabs, but they're a lot of work to implement. For myself, all the work required to support variable widths, drag-reordering, scrolling the set, etc. provides negative ROI since the result takes up precious vertical real estate in a world where most monitors are widescreen - vertical space comes at a premium, while horizontal space is often underutilized. With all the horizontal space available on modern displays I'm beginning to see a migration to vertical tabs among newer apps, esp. those focused on text editing since that task really benefits from maximizing available vertical space for the user's content. The next version of my own script editor will be using vertical tabs for that reason. Extra bonus points that vertical tabs are much easier to implement in LC than horizontal ones, so not only do you save significant space for your user's content but you save a lot of time that can be spent on features as well. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World LiveCode training and consulting: http://www.fourthworld.com Webzine for LiveCode developers: http://www.LiveCodeJournal.com LiveCode Journal blog: http://LiveCodejournal.com/blog.irv ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

So I am curious if the community has arrived at a common way of solving this common problem. In LC most objects have a label property which is distinct from the object's name, so for those it's easy to do what you're looking for. But in LC menu items aren't objects per se, but merely strings in the text property of menu buttons, so a different method is needed to provide a similar benefit there. In LC 3.0 or 3.5, RunRev introduced a menu tag option for menu items - here's the only documentation I can find on this very useful feature: --- Menu-item tagging ~ The menu item specification has been extended to allow a tag to be specified. It is now of the form: label [ '/' [ accelerator ] [ '|' tag ] ] Note that the tag is optional as is the accelerator however, if you want an item with a tag but without the accelerator you need: label '/' '|' tag The tag must only be composed of characters from the ASCII character set. If a menu item has a tag then it is the tag string that is passed to menuPick rather than the label. This is useful for localization of menu items as you don't need to change the menuPick handler for each language supported. The following tags should be used to label the standard edit menu items to enable them to be controlled by the system dialogs on Mac OS X (e.g. answer file, ask file etc.): undo, redo, cut, copy, paste, clear, select all, preferences Note: You should not mix the use of tags and no tags in Unicode menus. Doing so will cause empty values for all unicode items without tags. I was able to turn those up in the Engine Change Log for v3.5, but I see no mention of this feature in the menuPick entry in the Dictionary, so I submitted a request to have them added: http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=9571 -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation ___ ambassa...@fourthworld.com http://www.FourthWorld.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

It's a shame you need to use Option menus, because the pulldown/popup form has been extended to allow for abritrary tagging (as of 4.0 I believe). It's the form: itemName/acceleratorKey|tag and if you don't want to show and acceleratorKey, you just omit it. So if you were using a popup menu for example, you could put this into the button: Apple/|red Orange/|orange Lemon/|yellow and the user would only see choices for Apple, Orange, and Lemon, but if they picked Apple, you would get red coming into your menupick handler instead of Apple.

RE: Option Menus
I use a custom property for this purpose. For example, when I use it as a navigation menu to go to a card that the user selects from an Options control, my cards have their real names and also each card has a custom property called DisplayName. Then I use this in the Options control (where pItemName is the parameter that the control gets when selected) repeat with i = 1 to the number of cards in this stack if the DisplayName of card i of this stack is pItemName then set the menuHistory of me to i go to card (short name of card i) exit repeat end if end repeat Instead of custom properties you can use an array.

Re: [TEASER] It is Alive! SFTP support in LiveCode
I'll test it for you. Give me some guidelines if you will. I have a large complex Multi-OS network, with managed switches that support SFTP.

It was a simple text file called test.txt whose content was simply YES, but hey, it worked. The SFTP external is based on libCURL and libSSH2. Right now I managed to build it only for Mac OS X with x86 processors but I think I am able to build it for PPC and Linux as well. Windows might be a little tricky since I am out of a windows machine right now. The main issue was that the libcurl version that is bundled with Mac OS X has no SFTP support, so I had to build my own from source and that had dependencies such as libssh2 and others. After some effort, I could finally build everything and managed to convince XCode to link statically with them (XCode kept trying to link with Mac OS X bundled curl library). So after linking for the first time, it managed to transfer a single text file over SFTP connection. Right now it is a blocking call till I figure out how to do callbacks. There is a silly movie proving it here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1340110/XcodeSnapz002.mov or if you want to view it over the web: http://www.vimeo.com/24707584 (it is waiting in line to be converted right now) There is still a lot of work to do before releasing this external but we're now much closer to SFTP support in LiveCode. This external will be commercial and will probably cost about USD 99 to cover my costs of developing and the amount of tea I am drinking to calm me down after working with gdb... :-D Now, who among you all is felling like a guinea pig and want to join the beta tester group?

Re: Calling a WSDL from liveCode (standalone) or Classic rev CGI?
Hi Malte, My understanding is that although a WSDL is just a type of text file - as in 'definition.wsdl.xml' - the mechanism needed to retrieve it will be driven by the target web service and the approach the developer has adopted for SOAP and/or REST access. The target web service should have documentation, a WSDL file you can download and study and maybe an API that defines what you can access and how. That will define what how your app or CGI server code needs to behave as its client. Some web services will accept a GET call, some require a POST call with method and soap headers that conform to an API standard and some won't allow a scripted download at all, instead requiring a user login (so any scripted client app would have to emulate a user's login and admin 'control-panel' navigation actions). If you can get away with using a GET or POST mechanism, you can decide on whether to use libraries such as lib_SOAP or, if the web service provider has example text files for the SOAP calls and you can do as I did: 1. Drop example call xml text files into custom properties to act as SOAP call templates 2. Replace 'placeholder' strings in the templates with real, call-specific data strings 3. Simply POST or GET the edited file to the server's URL You may have to mess around with SOAP and/or HTTP headers. I find SOAP client very useful to fine-tune example SOAP calls (and test them) before copying them into a custom property template http://ditchnet.org/xmlrpc/ This tool has a nice feature in that if you can download the target WSDL, you can open this in SOAP Client and play around with the various calls defined in the API. Oh, and if there's no WSDL download in the API, you'll soon know! HTH Best, Keith..

Re: My first Livecode iOS App with Externals (SQLite)
Im not sure if the iOS store is the same, but what happens on the Mac App Store is after an update is released any reviews for the old version get pushed back to a second tab and a note says something like 'there are no reviews yet for this version'. You can still click on the tab to show the old reviews, they dont vanish completely. What also happens is, say for example you have 10 ratings, average 4*, the new version retains this 10 review 4* rating on the front screen, until you get 5 more. Once you have another 5 ratings (they dont have to be reviews, a * click will do) the front screen shows you have 5 reviews and shows the average rating of those 5 so you can have an app with 50 reviews and a 5* rating drop down to 5 and a 3* review overnight if the update is not received well. If you go into the description and click on the old reviews you get a full total (15 ratings + average). Now just to add one more scenario, when you update again, the new version will show the 'no reviews for this version' message, but the counter on the front screen and the average will be set to all reviews again, so in this example 15 ratings and 4*. So, if you put out an update and someone writes a silly review, another update will push that to the second screen and include it in your 'all time' average, but if you have a really good set of reviews and ratings for the current version it is quite scary to put out a new release as all that disappears and you are at real risk of a silly review taking all the limelight. Its made worse by different countries having quite different take up rates. Ive found it doesnt take long to get 5 reviews in the States, but it can take much longer in Canada or the UK and an update hides all the reviews so most users will not see them! Hope all that makes sense!

This is true. It is like clicking the same radio button in a group. If the user makes the same choice in a menu, since there is no change, should the menupick report it? If you want that, then take steps to manage the menuhistory, like --- simple test for menu buttons and tab buttons on menuPick pItemName ;put pItemName the ticks end menuPick on mousedown ;put down \ line (the menuhistory of me) of the text of me \ the ticks end mousedown local xLastUserChoiceForThisMenu on mousedown ;put down line (the menuhistory of me) of the text of me -- you can store the text of the last user action put (the menuhistory of me) into xLastUserChoiceForThisMenu --now you can compare each user repeat of a tab click end mousedown --- Hope this helps.

Both portrait orientations and their menus are still opposite of what they should be. My Android version is 2.3.3 and the Kernel version is 2.6.32.39, in-case that info is useful. I'm on 2.2 so I only get two working orientations, but they both display correctly. If yours don't, I'd say that's a bug. Upside down is a unique approach, but probably not what users expect. ;) I noticed the Androide release note saying that 2.3 is required 'due to a limitation of the OS'. I have to call bs on this statement because other apps on a 2.2 device can rotate fully. QCC time, I think. It was previously reported on May 13, 2011, and flagged as 'Fixed' on June 1, 2011. http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=9540 I added my comment that it is STILL upside-down, but the QCC record is still closed. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ˜Roger ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: Calling a WSDL from liveCode (standalone) or Classic rev CGI?

If so, mind to share a recipe? As far as I know there are soap calls involved. I would not want to switch that to php if that can be avoided. You might be able to use my libSOAP library on revOnline. It's probably just a syntax thing, but you don't call a WSDL - the WSDL is the document that describes how you consume the web services. -- -Mark Wieder mwie...@ahsoftware.net ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: How do you build the tabs like in the script editor
Touche! However changing menuPick to supply the previous selection for all menu buttons wouldn't anybody's code one iota until they decided to make use of that extra info.
