Re: Only one navigation bar widget?

Jackie:
Not sure I did. But I’ll check and get back. I think (but I’m not at work time 
now) that I just let the widgets take the default name they had when I dragged 
them onto the stack.

Re: Only one navigation bar widget?

Did you give each widget a different name?

iOS font issue - iPhone 6 + 6S not using custom font

[Alan]

Has anyone else seen a custom font (imported using the Copy Files part of 
Standalone builder) not being used in iPhone 6 and 6S, but it works ok with 
anything earlier?  This is on Simulator 8.2.

Strange that there's this anomaly, isn't it?

Using LC 8.1.

cheers

Unfortunately, it's not getting me there.


 one of the problems with setting gRevDevelopment to true is that 
you expose yourself to bugs and unremoved breakpoints in the IDE stacks. 
With the default setting of false these errors are just swept under the 
rug and you (mostly) never notice them.



also, in reading the file revmessagebox.rev, I see lots of references like:

button id 1037 of group id 1016 of card id 1002 of stack
"/Applications/LiveCode Community 6.7 (dp
2).app/Contents/Tools/Toolset/revlibrary.rev"


What in the world is this doing in Indy 7.1.4???


I don't have much of a clue, sorry. Sounds like maybe a path issue? What 
platform is this.

Re: Syntax: mouseUp mouseButtonNumber

If the syntax example had been pWhichBtn instead of mouseButtonNumber, I
"might" have recognized it as a parameter.

 Very much agreed.

But this isn't a problem with the mouseUp handler per se. When you 
declare a handler ("on xxx" or "function xxx") you can't give it 
explicit parameters at that time. And the script compiler properly 
complains if you do. Instead you give the parameter a name and can then 
use the name in the handler's code to do something, as in Mike's 
example. All LC handlers work exactly this way, and the mouseUp handler 
is no exception.

The Achilles heel of Android and iOS

[Alejandro Tejada]

The neck-breaking speed of their hardware
obsolescence (planned or not) is
the Achilles heel of Android and iOS...

Take a look of these eye opening charts:
https://priceonomics.com/phones/
http://blog.musicmagpie.co.uk/2016/06/10/how-quickly-does-your-phone-fall-in-value/

Buying a NEW PHONE or Tablet is almost like
BURNING MONEY, just for the fun of it.

Losing (or if you prefer: "paying") 100 or more
dollars monthly, just to hold in your hand
the latest and greatest marvel of modern
electronics is the kind of luxury that grows
tiring real soon... much like social media fatigue:
https://www.foursys.co.uk/pages/article/do-you-suffer-from-social-media-fatigue-you-are-not-alone

Just imagine this (not so far away) scenario:

For any reason, people stop jumping in line
to buy the latest and greatest phone or tablet
and prefer to wait... and wait... just for a few weeks
or even a few months (because time flies
when you are busy), while still using their previous
latest and greatest marvel from just a few months ago.

How many months would Apple or Samsung
or every other phone/tablet maker could last
without selling new hardware to new or repeating
customers?

Maybe Years? Or Months? Or Weeks?

Do you understand how bad is this unhealthy
dependency (dependency on selling new hardware
to repeating and new customers) for the present and
future health of the computer industry?

I foresee easily, (if these trends do not change for better)
a disaster of Titanic's proportions in the computer industry.

Why the computer industry is unable to foresee
the peril and start devising strategies to produce
money from extended support of their older hardware?

Yes, money from supporting their older hardware and
opening a path for their customers to stay and update
within their own line of products.

Recently, I watched up close a Windows XP tablet,
similar to this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qvVbPTG5IQ
and surprisingly, the user experience it's not
too far away from today tablets but these
tablet computers are more than 10 years old!

What kind of future is reserved for companies
that treat their customers as disposable?

Re: Only one navigation bar widget?

[William Prothero]

Monte:
Will do. I had the first card with two navigation widgets on it, one in a group 
and another not in one. A second card had the grouped widget and another one to 
do ops on that card. Monte, by the time I got back to my email, I had made a 
workaround, but I did make a test stack with a widget in a group and two others 
on two added cards. Hmm….. it included both widgets in the simulator.  Perhaps 
I should have tried to quit and restart. I can’t reproduce the situation.

Anyway, I like my workaround better anyway.

Thanks. If I see it again, I’ll be back on it.
Best,
Bill

We are happy to accept pull requests on the docs Roger if you can think or a 
way/where to clarify it. It seems more of a fundamental misunderstanding of 
what parameters are so it would be good to ensure we clearly explain that well 
somewhere in the docs because it’s assumed knowledge in most/all of the api 
docs just like what a variable is etc. However, I definitely think the examples 
in the mouseUp docs should include button number handling because it’s a common 
error not to filter out right clicks.

Only one navigation bar widget?

[William Prothero]

Folks:
I was trying to use a second navigation bar widget on my app, to control 
various functions. But, it looks like only a single nav bar is recognized in 
the simulator.

Is there a way to have more than one of those useful widgets, or am I limited 
to a single one?

The parameter is passed on, not set by you.  To do what you want it would
be more like

on mouseup pvar
if pvar is 3 then
do stuff

Yeah, if you want to use wait..
wait 18000 is blocking
wait 18000 with messages is not blocking

Re: IDE Script Editor question...

[Paul Dupuis]

Ah ha. The insertion point must be INSIDE a handler and only re-indents
that handler when you press TAB

If the insertion point is between handlers or outside of any handler,
nothing happens. Ok, tab is useful, but something that reformatted ALL
handlers in a script would be even better.

Not perfect, but a step better than nothing. Thanks for the tip!

Unfortunately, it's not getting me there.

I have a log stack, and the simple function

on cck stuff
  put stuff & cr  & the milliseconds & cr & cr after fld "log" of cd
"wtchcrd" of stack "ckwatch"
end cck


end error handler

*on* errorDialog pExecutionError, pParseError

   cck  ("whoops! " & the date & the time & cr & the milliseconds & cr & cr
\

 & "lib: error occurred on line: " & item 2 of line 1 of
pExecutionError & cr & cr  \

   & "pParseError:" & cr & pParseError & cr & cr  \

 & "pExecutionError:" & cr & pExecutionError & cr & cr & "context:"
& cr & the executionContexts & cr)



   *answer* "lib: error occurred on line: " & item 2 of line 1 of
pExecutionError & cr & cr \

 & pParseError & cr & cr & pExecutionError with "Continue" and
"Stop" and "Pause"



   *close* stack "splash"

   *switch* it

  *case* "stop"

 *exit* to top

 *break*

  *case* "stop"

 *breakpoint*

 *break*

   *end* *switch*

   ck the executionContexts

   *--breakpoint*

*end* errorDialog



It looks to me like it's a problem with opening the message box in
revUpdateGeometry

This seems to be happening in preOpenStack of the control stack, after it
loads the library stack (which is where my handler is).


I do open a message box and put it where I want it in that preOpenStack:

*-- put the messagebox somewhere useful*

 *show* message box

 *set* the height of stack "message Box" to 144

 *set* the width of stack "message box" to 576

 *set* the itemDel to comma



 *set* the bottomLeft of stack "message box" to 36, 2* item 2 of the
screenLoc - 36



also, in reading the file revmessagebox.rev, I see lots of references like:

button id 1037 of group id 1016 of card id 1002 of stack
"/Applications/LiveCode Community 6.7 (dp
2).app/Contents/Tools/Toolset/revlibrary.rev"


What in the world is this doing in Indy 7.1.4???

Re: Waiting for the train

You probably want to restructure your handler, so that instead of a
repeat loop, it calls itself using send  in 

So something like:

local KOUNT

on startMyThing
  put 1 into KOUNT
  send "doMyThing" to me
end startMyThing

on doMyThing
   add 1 to KOUNT
   if KOUNT <= 1003 then send "doMyThing" to me in 18000 ticks
end doMyThing


You kick it off by calling startMyThing to initialize things and then it
keep calling itself (doMyThing) every 5 minutes until KOUNT exceed 1003.

IDE Script Editor question...

[Paul Dupuis]

I find myself periodically working with stacks where the individuals
handlers come from a number of sources.

Some of these sources have their script editor set to the default 3
space indent. Some to 2 spaces, some to 4 spaces, etc.

Is there any easy way to tell the script editor to RE-indent all the
handlers in the current script using the current preference for indents?

If not, can one of you coding wizards out there add this to the IDE? :-)

Re: Supercard 4.8 public beta

[Richmond]

Well, every time there is a new Supercard release I download the trial and,
every time, I wonder why I do that. But I do the same sort of thing for 
HyperNEXT as well

[ http://www.tigabyte.com ] so I'm obviously bonkers.

I owned a copy of SuperCard in 1995 and really could never work out how 
to do things

efficiently (after all Colour was doable in Hypercard at that stage).

I started using it in '89 or '90 for the simple reason that it could have
two windows open.   Once HyperCard 2.0 rolled around, that was no longer
necessary, but converting back would have involved copy and pasting scripts
manually for every control, or some such hassle

Had I known that it would come out with a DOS version a year later, I
wouldn't have abandoned my program, and would probably be the dominant
vendor in my industry (and the program that filled that *still* doesn't do
things I did 25+ years ago . . .)

Develop on mac for everywhere is critical to me.  If it had a clear and
supported path to compile on android, I'd be shifting some of what I do to
Swift from livecode--but until then, no.

Re: LiveCode interface to SCORM /LIT

Just a thought. Since Todd Fabacher is in a group working on LTI (he called it 
LIT, but I think he meant LTI), and he will make the code open source, I think, 
for me anyway, it’s best to wait for the result of their efforts. LTI has a 
pretty wide capability. SCORM came about and was made popular by the US Defense 
dept. making it required for folks wanting to sell them training modules for 
their purposes. But, for higher ed, SCORM enforces an out-dated learning model 
that would not be adequate for more modern teaching pedagogies.

"" isn't "the absence of a string", it's a string that's 0 characters

Works that way on Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 as well. and AFAIK at least as 
far back as v6.7.


Not sure if it's a bug or a feature we just need to be very careful

Re: Supercard 4.8 public beta

[Richmond]

I, personally, playing on my G5 running PPC 10.5, cannot for the life of 
me see any obvious
advantages of Supercard over Livecode. It strikes me that this is 
probably largely used by people

who have dug themselves into a Macintosh-only corner.

The documentation for export snapshot is not very clear. I've tried 
things like exporting a transparent group containing some objects; the 
PNG was just filled with black where there were no objects.


There is an option "with mask xx", but it appears that this is only 
for PBM format - and in any case I can't make it work.


Is there any way to do this?

I noticed that too. I found a workaround.

1. Edit some code in GLX2.
2. Go to LiveCode/preferences

This will bring up the GLX2 preferences because the menu changes to GLX 
specific menu items.

I think you might need replacetext(tData,"<.*?>",empty)

The '?' cause the match to be non-greedy. Without it, everything from the first 
"<" to the last ">" will be replaced.

yes, but you need to group all your objects first, then use something like this:
...
export snapshot from rect (the rect of grp 1) of grp 1 to img 1 as PNG

Re: Any characters wildcard or regex?

[Mike Bonner]

if you want to use regex, I think you have to use replacetext rather than
replace, unless replace has been updated when I wasn't looking.
I did a quicky test..

put field 1 into tData -- field with text containing html tags
put replacetext(tData,"<.*>",empty) into tNewData
put tNewData

Also, in your example above I assume you correctly set the htmltext rather
than the html..

Export PNG with alpha channel/mask

[Ben Rubinstein]

I want to compose an image using a bunch of LC objects, then export a PNG, 
with an alpha channel containing a mask (ideally > 1 bit, but that part's not 
critical).


The documentation for export snapshot is not very clear. I've tried things 
like exporting a transparent group containing some objects; the PNG was just 
filled with black where there were no objects.


There is an option "with mask xx", but it appears that this is only for PBM 
format - and in any case I can't make it work.


Is there any way to do this?

TIA

Ben

Re: LiveCode interface to SCORM /LIT

[Earthednet-wp]

Martin,
I hadn't heard about xAPI. I've really just dabbled in this subject. I know 
that my campus uses a highly customized version of Moodle, so it would be 
compatible with xAPI. Our local community college is changing over to Canvas 
after using Moodle, and before that, Blackboard. An organization I'm involved 
with that distributes higher Ed learning resources 
(http://serc.carleton.edu/index.html) uses a protocol called "Common 
Cartridge". 

The api needs to allow for stand-alone app integration, for my purposes. When I 
look at the docs for these api's, my eyes roll back in my head and I realize it 
would be a major project for me to implement this interface for my work. I give 
my projects away for free, so putting that kind of investment into the LMS api 
doesn't make sense for me. However, that said, I am interested and would be 
interested in using and/or testing, and following progress with those who might 
develop a livecode framework.

One thing I do know is that SCORM is inadequate for higher Ed. It forces a 
specific learning model that is outdated.

I will see if I can get some information from our Moodle IT guys at UCSB.

Best,
Bill

Re: Any characters wildcard or regex?

[Keith Clarke]

Thanks Mike & Klaus,
The simple line 'replace "<.*>" with empty in tFileText’ would be ideal, but it 
seems to be ignored.

The html approach seems to hit an early hurdle, too - if I...

set the html of field "FldFileText" to URL(tFileName)
set the text of field "FldFileText" to the text of field “FldFileText

...this results in an empty field after the first or both lines. Perhaps this 
is because the source file is a CSV with only one item having any HTML tags?

Just to clarify the problem - the source text I’m working with comes from CSV 
file imports and some files contain RTF fields amongst their items. These RTF 
styling tags sometimes contain quotes & commas that are causing occasional 
glitches with the CSV item delimiting - hence the need to pre-process and strip 
out all tags before processing the CSV import. 

Thanks again for your insights.
Best,
Keith..

Re: LiveCode interface to SCORM /LIT

[Martin Koob]

Thanks for the link to LTI. I am interested in a technology that could
integrate my LiveCode app into LMS's. 

I think that Tin-Can API or the ExperienceAPI (xAPI) were also developed as
a successor to SCORM to address its shortcomings.  
https://experienceapi.com/history/

They list a number of adopters including BlackBoard and Moodle

http://experienceapi.com/adopters/

Have you heard of this?  Would this api accomplish what you are trying to
do?

you can even (ab)use "the templatefield" for this:
...
set the htmltext of the templatefield to url("http://your_url/here.html;)
put the text of the templatefield into fld 1 # or a variable
reset the templatefield ## !!

Using replacetext, you're probably looking for "<.*>"
but you might be able to use a field for this..  set the htmltext of the
field to your source text, Then if you don't want the formatting preserved
set the text of the field to the text of the field.  One problem with this
method is that you may end up with javascript left over because it can

Any characters wildcard or regex?

[Keith Clarke]

Hi folks,
I’m trying to strip out all HTML tags from text in a variable. Replacement of 
specific tags works fine... replace “" with empty in tText …but I’m 
struggling to find (documentation on) a blanket ‘any number of any characters’ 
wildcard or regex approach...

So far I’ve tried "<*>”, “<[*]>”,  “<[.*]>”, "<" & "[.*]" & “>” to no avail

Any clues greatly appreciated.

validating xml

[jbv]

Hello list

I have a script server-side that sends xml data to a web page.
The xml content is enriched text (featuring several html tags) made by
other users and stored in a DB.
When enriching text with a js library, it often happens that something
goes wrong with tags... So my question : is there a way (function, LC or
PHP library, whatever) to check if the xml is well-formed (all tags
closed, etc), and possibly fix it, before sending it to the client browser
or app ?

Thanks in advance
jbv

"revCopyFile" needs the "naked" pathname as parameter!
Try this:
...
## put "file:"("temporary") into targetFile
put specialfolderpath("temporary") into targetFile
revCopyFile myRemoteStackName, targetFile
...

Re: copy a stack from dropbox to temp-folder (script)

[Tore Nilsen]

My guess is that you need to use binfile instead of file, as a stack is binary.

Re: Difficulty with Load command

[Peter Bogdanoff]

Thanks Andy, you’re right, that a good explanation.

I’m also seeing Richards discussion of encoded arrays:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.ide.revolution.user/176711

I tried base64/compressed/encoding as he suggests with a “.txt” suffix and that 
seems to work. It seems it won’t work at all without the txt suffix.
