sending a PDF mail attachment in iOS7
Using mobileComposeHtmlMail to send a PDF attachment works as expected under iOS 6 but under iOS 7 the email to be sent (in the iOS 7 mail app) has a small box with a question mark instead of the pdf attachment icon (I also tested a text attachment and that seems to display correctly) There does not appear to be an error during the creation of the pdf and in some cases the mail client on the receiving end displays the pdf attachment. Unfortunately, on some mail clients the pdf fails to show up. I’m wondering if anyone else is seeing this or can suggest what I might be doing incorrectly.

Re: Does exists LiveCode Server Portable...
I'm not sure I understand your question correctly, so here's two answers: Any livecode standalone can be a server. All you need to do is to use the accept socket command. For example, the ChatRev server runs from an IDE installed on an old ibook. But it could as well be a windows standalone (which it was some years back). If you however mean the livecode server thing that runs in a web server, then you probably can't run it as server without apache or iss. however, you can run livecode locally as a non-server engine where it will behave exactly like a server, outputting text to the shell instead of a http connection. Maybe you can specify a bit more detailed what the goal is, and why you want to work around zone alarm?

Alejandro Tejada wrote: LiveCode could open a socket to send and receive data from other applications. Does exists a method to create a portable LiveCode server that runs locally without installing any file in the computer? Many years ago Dr. Raney made a stack available at the old MetaCard site called mchttpd which is exactly that: a simple Web server built in what was then called MetaCard. It still runs in LiveCode, but needed modification to output proper headers for more recent browsers, so with Dr. Raney's permission I've modified it and you can download it here: http://fourthworld.net/lc/mchttpd-4W.zip I still prefer working with Apache for most things since it lets me mirror the environment I'll be using when I move what I'm working on locally to a public server, but for specialized services mchttpd can be a good starting point. In one of my computers, every application that opens a socket must be authorized by the user because Zone Alarm ask for permission... A similar requirement happens on OS X as well: in Lion and later (I don't recall seeing this in Snow Leopard), whenever an app starts listening on a port the OS notifies the user and asks for confirmation. This is very helpful, since most serious OSes (read OS X and Linux) usually ship with all incoming traffic blocked (well, that's true for Ubuntu, not sure about other distros or how well OS X matches that security decision). This means that out of the box the system is unreachable from the outside, leaving it to the user to explicitly open any ports they might need, while most users never need to go out of their way to have the system reasonably well protected. Once you open a port you're inviting traffic to your machine. Of course most folks have a router to negotiate between their internal network and the external Internet, and most routers should require explicit action to set up the forwarding of requests to a specific port from the outside world to the machine providing the service. So without that, on most routers worth using, things like mchttpd are useful for intranet services yet still unreachable to the outside world. As written, mchttpd is pretty nice, and fairly limited - by design, so that it won't, for example, run do on arbitrary strings passed into it. But it's extensible, so if one were inclined to live dangerously you could extend mchttpd to allow it to do any LiveCode statements passed in as arguments to the HTTP request - and then your machine could be pwned by anyone who can reach it. Set up port forwarding on your router to allow the world to do that, and it would be an interesting measure of LiveCode's current global adoption to find out how long it would be until your machine gets pwned. ;) Of course in any real system you'd want to be very careful to avoid such injection exploits. One of the reasons I've tried to get do, eval and the rest out of my habits is not merely because there are almost almost always better alternatives, but that if I ever get absent-minded I'm less likely by habit to include anything like that in server code. Interesting exercise for the reader: On a Mac, open Console and in the side pane click on appfirewall.log - or - In Lubuntu, run: more /var/log/auth.log The world is full of botnets randomly attempting access on all ports on all machines all day long On my critical machines I recently set up shared keys between the various computers I use, and once that was done I modded my /etc/sshd_config so that it no longer allows password login at all. The downside is that whenever I get a new computer I have to add its key by going through one of the existing ones already known in authorized_keys. But the upside is that no one can use any password to get in, since all passwords are rejected. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World LiveCode training and consulting: http://www.fourthworld.com Webzine for LiveCode developers: http://www.LiveCodeJournal.com Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/FourthWorldSys ___ 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: Subscription-based sales system
Hi A number of payment gateways let you do subscriptions (e.g. paypal), if the periodic payment is unsuccessful (e.g. credit card expires) it will send a notification to your server, so that you can process and stop the subscription. You would just need your application to periodically check the server to see if it can load and react accordingly.

Re: Subscription-based sales system
Hi Marty, Installer Maker is a plug-in and standalone program that can be updated for free during 3 months after purchase. During one year after purchase, people can buy a new license at a discount price. Almost everything happens automatically when someone buys a license. I only need to press a button to confirm receipt of payment --a step which I could easily take out of the process if I wanted to. The process is the following: 1) someone buys a license using PayPal 2) the server registers payment and PayPal sends an e-mail to me 3) I press the button and an e-mail with the license is sent 4) the license keys of the past 3 months are stored in a database on my server When someone tries to buy an update 5) the user enters his or her license key in a web form 6) if the license key is in the database, a different web form loads 7) the user can use this web form to buy a discounted license using PayPal 8) see step (2) This isn't exactly a subscription-based system, because people can still use Installer Maker with an expired license; they just can't upgrade at the discount price after more than one year. However, the license is connected with the date it is created on and thus it is easy to make the software stop working entirely when this date is reached. -- 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 5/13/2014 19:08, Marty Knapp wrote: Has anyone set up sales of their applications on a subscription basis?
