Modularising Code
I have been reading up on Library Stacks but in this instance I do not feel this is the solution I require. I have a Project that needs access to a SQLite database and has many calls into that database from functions and commands which at the moment I have placed in the mainstack script. In order to make the script more manageable I would like to have the SQLite scripts modularised and separate from any other scripts in the mainstack which I also may wish to modularise at some point. I have placed all these scripts together in the mainstack to allow them to be easily called from all other parts of the project and to have easy access to user properties of the mainstack. What is the best way to achieve this type of modularisation within the LiveCode IDE?

Re: Modularising Code
I really would love to hear your reasoning about why start using (library) is not what you want to use (or it's brethren front script and back script). Alternatively there's of course using 'send' and 'call' (more modern 'dispatch'), instead of relying on the natural order of the message path. There's also behavior scripts of course, but I think they're more useful for repetitive handlers, not for different calls to a database, but someone who actually likes them should probably talk about wether they're appropriate or not. If you want to go super crazy you can also do it like I did, and use sockets to have the db run in another program... but that's of course a different topic ;) On 08 May 2014, at 13:28, Terence Heaford t.heaf...@btinternet.com wrote: I have been reading up on Library Stacks but in this instance I do not feel this is the solution I require.

Re: Modularising Code
Library seems to be more for using code that is reusable between different projects. My methods/functions are applicable only to the project in which they reside. I am just looking for something that allows organisations of the scripts within the IDE without perhaps creating an object just to store these methods/functions. If I use say Xcode as an example. You can organise your code in folders/nested folders from within the IDE. In LiveCode methods/functions are usually applicable to an object with the facility to have common methods/functions accessible to all objects by placing them in the Card Script or Stack Script etc. There does not appear to be any way within say the Stack Script to organise methods/functions into folders. The handler list on the left hand side of the script window in the IDE would be better if it had the means of placing the scripts into folders, purely for aesthetics. How do people overcome this limitation? That is my question.

Re: Modularising Code
Oh. Well I don't. If there's too many handler in one object, I tend to either fuse unnecessary functions or move stuff up or down the message path. Some people use fake empty handlers as folders. And there's of course the open source GLX2 editor, which has folders. On 08 May 2014, at 14:34, Terence Heaford t.heaf...@btinternet.com wrote: Xcode...

Re: Modularising Code
Stack libraries have some nice advantages for me. I sometimes put some things such as tables into controls. They are often wrappers for externals. (Or maybe the externals are helpers for the libraries.) If you have a card for putting odd things and the card never shows, you might want to put some objects there to represent your modules and put the scripts into those. Name them after the modules. put them in front or in back as seems right when you open your stack. If you need some module only on cards with certain background groups, then consider whether those scripts belong in the group.

Re: Modularising Code
I think using a substack as a library is OK. Remember that the main stack is in the message path of the substack. So, you will have the main stack twice in the message path for cards and controls. This is probably fine. But, something like a keystroke counter in the main stack might count them twice. There might be some packaging issues if you make a splash screen, but others would know better than I. If the sub stack depends on the main stack and they both become sub stacks in standalones, there is a potential for slightly different behavior in the standalone.

Re: Modularising Code
Folks, What I am doing is using the stack script of substacks to hold code modules. This way, the search command works nicely. If I use external stacks for my libraries the search command doesn't seem to have an option to include them in a search without including the entire library, which seems to take forever. Also, the substack stack script handlers seem to be able to call handlers in other substack stack scripts without message path concerns. I figure that if I need to use the code in other projects later, I can easily make the substacks into library stacks. Keeping track of where specific scripts reside and using dispatch commands seems extremely cumbersome to me. Another thing, which I didn't start doing until recently, but wish I had stared that way, is to put a prefix before each handler in a library. Like iml_myhandler, where iml_ goes in front of each handler name. That way it's much easier to remember where handlers are, as the project grows, Folks, I'm still new to livecode, so if I'm doing anything that will get me into trouble down the road, I'd like to hear about it. Like, the seeming lack of hierarchy in the message path of substack stack scripts. Is this likely to change?

Re: Modularising Code
My understanding is if you create a library of a stack it’s stack script is placed between the main stack that has called start using and LiveCode’s engine. Is that correct? If yes then I presume if you start using a substack then the substack script is placed between the main stack that has called start using and LiveCode’s engine Is that correct? If you only have handlers in the stack script of the substack then any messages will only call them after passing through the mainstacks script. Is that correct? If you actually use the substack as more than a repository for scripts then any control will pass the message through the substacks script to mainstack and onto the substack again. Is that correct or once you start using the substack is it removed from the normal message passing and any control only passes to the substack script and onto the engine? I hope the above is understandable. All the best Terry On 8 May 2014, at 14:37, Dar Scott d...@swcp.com wrote: Remember that the main stack is in the message path of the substack.

Re: iOS Home Button Shutdown not working!
Unfortunately, no it doesn’t work for me either. However, I seem to remember a bug in one version of LC where using put statements itself did not work correctly. The output wasn’t displayed in the console. Unfortunately I don’t remember which version. Does anyone else? So there’s a possibility we’re running into that bug with LC 6.5.2. Another way to test this would be to write out a simple text file to the Documents folder in the shutdown handler. If you test it in the simulator, you can fairly easily locate that text file. The path would be something like this /Users/[user_name]/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/[iOS_version]/Applications/F16EE956-F742-4FB9-80A6-51C521B2FA75/Documents. Maybe you already know this. Anyway, that big long nasty folder name will have to be replaced with whatever folder contains your app. No easy way that I know of. You’ll just have to browse all the folders until you find the one containing your app. Anyway, this is kind of a dumb workaround that shouldn’t even be necessary, but hopefully it’ll get you started in determining whether or not shutdown is actually firing. My guess is that it is, and 6.5.2 has the “put” bug, and there’s some error occurring that makes it seem like shutdown is not running. If you have access to a newer version of LC, I’d recommend switching over when you can. I realize that’s not always easy to do. Hope this helps a bit. Good luck!

Re: Modularising Code
Thanks for your comments: Just had a look at this and as I suspected could see no reference to using a substack as a library only stacks. This could probably do with clarifying in both the user guide and dictionary. In the dictionary for example it says “start using stack”. May be a little pedantic but for someone just setting out could be a little confusing but I take your point.

Thanks for the reference to Richard's page! Excellent! It clarified some items I've had on my mind.

Arg. LiveCode doesn’t lie, but sleepy Dar might not point out what is significant. Being twice in the message path is a characteristic of messages sent to libraries and has nothing to do with any being a substack. It is a library thing.

I found two over the weekend at Scott Rossi's site, tmAlign and tmEffects, and it made me a little mad that I didn't find them before now. tmAlign is really sweet. It makes lining up, resizing, and spacing objects a lot simpler and easier than LC's tool does, and it does it in what seems to me to be a more logical manner and gives a much more dynamic, visual representation of what it's going to do before you approve it. tmEffects lets you add a bunch of graphical effects to objects in projects, which for guys like me, that have more graphical KILL than graphical SKILL is also helpful. -- On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth On the second day, God created the oceans.

Re: Modularising Code
I remember there are cases where an infinite loop can occur but I don’t remember the details. However, the message path crawl that I made does use pass and it does get to the back script that puts “bottom” into the message box.

Btw, Dar's post suggests to me that one could create an infinite loop if there was a script in the substack that passed a message, then a script with the same name in the main stack also passed the message, then back to substack, ad infinitude. A reasonable scenario would be a mouseup handler.

Click it 2) The second link down is the User Guide. Click it 3) Inside there search for message path. There is a whole discussion of what it is and how to use it. 4) SEND and PASS and START USING STACK are your friends.

Is that correct? If yes then I presume if you start using a substack then the substack script is placed between the main stack that has called start using and LiveCode’s engine Is that correct? If you only have handlers in the stack script of the substack then any messages will only call them after passing through the mainstacks script. Is that correct? If you actually use the substack as more than a repository for scripts then any control will pass the message through the substacks script to mainstack and onto the substack again. Is that correct or once you start using the substack is it removed from the normal message passing and any control only passes to the substack script and onto the engine? I hope the above is understandable. All the best Terry On 8 May 2014, at 14:37, Dar Scott d...@swcp.com wrote: Remember that the main stack is in the message path of the substack.

FOLLOW UP: iOS Provisioning Profiles - Dev vs. Production
If you've seen me on this list during the last week (see also iOS App Crash), you know that I have been trying to track down a problem with an update to one of my iOS apps that was crashing on launch after installing from the App Store. It didn't matter what version of the OS you were running or what device you had. It was crashing on an update and a clean install. The app ran without error in LC, the simulator and a real device (with the dev profile). We were experiencing a 100% crash rate - reported by users calling and eMailing us - not to mention the not-so-nice reviews people were leaving in the app store. If the app crashes for everyone, how could it have passed Apple's app review process? We were completely stumped. Then we thought... Could it be? Could the error be with the All Mighty Powerful Apple? I contacted Apple and started a support ticket. They of course gave me the runaround, try this (wait 24 hours for a response), try that (wait another 24 hours). All the responses I got translated to: go away kid, ya bother me. Then I was told that they can only support apps that are created in XCode [not LiveCode]. They apparently had no interested in even looking at the app for signs of corruption. Even the crash reports I provided pointed to something fishy. If I wanted to explore a problem in the App Store, I would have to contact another department and start a new ticket. Ug. Oh yeah, did I mention that the client is breathing down my neck demanding answers and action because his app has been down for a week! Anyway, we took the same LC stack and upped the version number. Using the same computer, with the same version of LC and the same version of XCode, we built a new standalone. We submitted the new (but same) app to the app store and requested an expedited review which Apple shockingly granted. The app passed review and was released in the app store... What a shock! It worked perfectly! Apple will never confirm, but we are 100% convinced that the app was corrupted after it passed review and was copied to the app store. It's been a long week.

Resizing a group's controls when the group is resized
I have a resizeControl handler for a group in which I've tried changing the height and width of the controls in the group but I can't get it to work correctly. The lockLocation of the controls in the group is set true. To narrow down the problem, I changed the resizeControl handler to have just one command in it: set the width of field Data of me to (the width of me - the borderwidth of me) When I drag the right handle of the group, it kinda works although the group handles move in a very jerky fashion until I let go the mouse. However, if I try to change the height of the group by dragging on its bottom handle, the group gets wider not taller no matter whether I drag up or down!! I feel like I'm missing something obvious, hopefully someone can tell me what it is.

Re: iOS Home Button Shutdown not working!
Hi Chris, Jacque, and Stephen, I built a test stack just to test the shutdown handler. I used the write to file to see if it created a file and then read the data back in to see if it worked. The shutdown does not appear to be working at all. If I have a button send the message to the shutdown handler the code executes - writes the file, and reads the file correctly. I’m reluctant to move to a newer version of LC than 6.5.2 because the newer version I tried - LC 6.1.1 made my animations run 4 times slower. They looked terrible! Has the speed/performance improved adequately in LC 6.6.2? Thanks, Rick On May 8, 2014, at 3:05 PM, J.

No message appears for me. The answer dialog should have worked. The only other thing I can think of is that there are other shutdown handlers somewhere in the message path that are blocking the one you're trying to test.

Digest Access Authentication with cookie? How
Hi, i need to connect to a webserver which uses Digest Access Authentication to use its API. If i understood the documentation right, then the server does use a cookie to store the session. Is there a way to do this in livecode? When i try this in Safari then it works w/o problems. But when trying this in livecode i do not get the information i get when doing it in Safari. I think i have to fetch the cookie and send a modified http header to the server. But i do not know the steps are needed for this In the Browser the following line for example gives back the correct information from the server http://MyUsername:MyPassword@192.168.1.1/swapi_get_about;. After one successful login a cookie is stored on the hard disk and i can connect to the server without any problems. But in LC i just get some html code back which does not contain the data i see in the browser. I tried already to use libUrlLastRhHeaders(), but cannot find any cookie information in it. I read that i have to set the httpheader before doing another api request. But how do i get the cookie information? Does anyone know what i have to do?

I just did a quick test with WonderProxy and see this in the libURL log: -- _proxyForURL_proxyForURL use _proxyFromHTTPProxy() with HTTPProxyProxy for URL: http://baltimore.wonderproxy.com:80 socket selected: 199.15.252.141:80|6924 GET http://www.google.com:80/ HTTP/1.1 Host: www.google.com User-Agent: LiveCode (MacOS) HTTP/1.1 407 Proxy Authentication Required Server: squid/3.4.4 Mime-Version: 1.0 Date: Thu, 08 May 2014 13:01:36 GMT Content-Type: text/html Content-Length: 3318 X-Squid-Error: ERR_CACHE_ACCESS_DENIED 0 Proxy-Authenticate: Basic realm=WonderProxy X-Cache: MISS from baltimore.wonderproxy.com Via: 1.1 baltimore.wonderproxy.com (squid/3.4.4) Connection: keep-alive -- So the
Mysql UNIQUE and .lc server scripts?
Hi All, I’m using some .lc server scripts to add records to a database from an app. My database has one field that is UNIQUE. Is it possible to capture the mySQL message and report it back to the app when text entered for specific field is not unique? The database won’t create the record due to the fact that the filed is not unique, but it also does not give the user any clue of this fact. Thank you!

Re: Mysql UNIQUE and .lc server scripts?
Hi John, After executing a MySQL command with revExecuteSQL, the result contains either an error or an integer. If the result is an error, then you know that the change couldn't be made and 0 records were affected. If the result is an integer, then you need to check that the integer is greater than 0. If it isn't, something may have gone wrong and 0 records were affected. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Installer Maker for LiveCode: http://qery.us/468 Buy my new book Programming LiveCode for the Real Beginner http://qery.us/3fi LiveCode on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/runrev/ On 5/9/2014 01:18, JOHN PATTEN wrote: Hi All, I’m using some .lc server scripts to add records to a database from an app. My database has one field that is UNIQUE.

Re: Mysql UNIQUE and .lc server scripts?
Hi John, What's in the result after calling revExecuteSQL to issue your INSERT statement? You should get either an integer count of the number of rows inserted or an error message.

On OSX: I use Espresso -- it's really intended for web editing. Doesn't provide any special benefits for LC script editing, but includes server upload, browser preview, and file management. Coda is supposed to be good (same as above). I read good things about SublimeText.

Re: [OFF] Cool Plugins
Mike Kerner wrote It is often harder than it should be to find things that make development life better in LC. I found two over the weekend at Scott Rossi's site, tmAlign and tmEffects, and it made me a little mad that I didn't find them before now.

After used these single purpose tools are stored or discarded forever... :o Al -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/OFF-Cool-Plugins-tp4679272p4679292.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.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

Most of my LC Server apps are talking to LC-based clients, so all they need are libraries, which lets me use the LC editor. Even when I do Web sites with LC Server, I tend to make mostly HTML templates with simple placeholder tags for function calls, so once again most of the LC code is in LC library stacks, and the HTML is either hand-written with GEdit/TextEdit/my own half-finished text editor/whatever I happen to have handy, with some occasional WYSIWYG authoring in BlueGriffon. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for Desktop, Mobile, and Web ambassa...@fourthworld.comhttp://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
