Exactly.

It's 2017.  We're not the first project to need to figure out how to 
handle dependencies.

Richard,
For me, it's a pain point because when I try to build a standalone and I don't 
have one of the widgets linked, I only get a message saying "module not found" 
or something like that. Seems it would be easy to notify the name of the 
in-found module.

Best,
Bill

Why is this such an ongoing pain point?

How are dependencies handles in other systems?

hhm… that would be nice… easy to test..

stand by (time passes here)

Nope, no go… 

Test one:

1) go to SA settings-> inclusions uncheck widgets headerbar and switch button # 
which we know for user are required by some stacks that are referenced in the 
stack files, but not in this "loader" stack form which the SA is built.
2) go to SA -> general -> check search for inclusions
3) run build stand alone: checkin for inclusions spins (and spins) "Auto 
detecting Libray
4) go back to SA→ general -> check "Select inclusions…" etc
5) inclusions option undims
6) the two widget are *not* checked


Test two

1) Drag our a "Switch Button" widget to the loader stack "home" card GUI
2) Save
continue now with steps 2-6 abover

Result:  The same…   the inclusions list property in the cRevStandaloneSettings 
is *not* updated after an auto detect built.

this may not be a bug but " works as intended"

which leads back to the original question: how to run an auto detect scan  for 
require inclusions as a "diagnostic" and get a list.

Yes, it can be scripted, using the group-based methods I outlined in my 
OP here.


And as someone who's been using LC a while, it's not that hard for me.

I'm thinking of the 10,000 new users who might be using LiveCode if we 
can demonstrate how powerfully easy it is to develop with.

Re: Kognition Beta Test - call for volunteers

[Peter W A Wood via use-livecode]

Dear Kevin 

First, congratulations on reaching Beta stage of Kognition. Your description on 
if it is very intriguing.

I think I can offer you an interesting beta test environment. At the moment, I 
have three primary projects (and a number of smaller ones), the data for each 
is stored in diverse forms but, in most cases, very common forms. I think this 
would provide a good test of Kognition’s reach.

Here are the main data sources for each project:

Project 1
Atlassian JIRA - Cloud System - issue and task data
Atlassian HipChat - Cloud System with local client - project 
discussions including requests for action
Atlassian Confluence - Cloud System - project documents
Google Calendar  - Cloud System - project meeting schedule
Google Mail - Cloud System - project email and notifications 
(no local copies)
Project Artefacts - Local Files - documents (markup, pdf), 
code, binary data

Project 2
Google Docs - Cloud System - documents, spreadsheets, 
presentations
AltME Messaging System - Local Files - documents (text, markup, 
pdf), to-do lists, contact list, chat
Project Artefacts - Local Files -  documents (markup, pdf), 
code, binary data
Email (Apple Mail.app) - Local Files - messages + attachments

Project 3
Gitter - Cloud System - project discussion with actionable items
Github - Cloud System - project issues, documentation (markup)
GitBook - Cloud System - published documentation
Trello - Cloud System - project tasks
Blogger - Cloud System - website source and management, user 
comment management
Website - Cloud - project website
Google Groups - Cloud System - membership data, messages
Google Mail - Cloud System - project email

I believe that would provide a good test of Kognition’s data acquisition 
capabilities though the relationships between the data will be relatively 
simple.

I have a MacBook Pro(Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014), it has a 2.5 Ghz Intel Core 
i7. 

Best regards

Peter

Re: Getting a Google MAP

[William Prothero via use-livecode]

Mike:
Thanks for your help.
I found a link to Python, PHP, and Pascal code to do this. Looks like I have to 
stop being lazy and do some math. I’m ok with converting the code to xTalk. I 
should be able to figure it out myself. I’ll share when I get something done. 
It may be a bit because I’ve got some other tasks pulling at me.

Re: Getting a Google MAP

[William Prothero via use-livecode]

Ok, its a bit more complicated. After my initial high at thinking the problem 
was solved (rushing to a haircut appointment before looking carefully), I 
noticed that the returned data from Mike’s reverse geocoding URL didn’t change 
with the zoom level. So apparently, it’s only applied to the stated location. 
The reverse geo lookup finds a city or address and the “bounds” elements don’t 
give the lat/lon values at the corner of the image.

I’m fiddling with this, and I’ve got the link (somewhat incomplete derivation) 
of how to calculate the corner lat/lons, so I’ll try that next. I wish there 
was a google call I could make that would give me this info, but I can’t find 
it.

Best,

Re: Community Coding Standards, Naming Conventions, Best Practice in LiveCode Script for community contribution work

[Richard Gaskin via use-livecode]

These are good questions, Roland, and indeed it would ideal if such 
things were in hand right now.


But to create a comprehensive style guide for IDE contributions we'd 
have another scope of work to address, in addition to other 
opportunities at hand.


If someone wants to dive in and put something like this together that 
would be great, but I don't believe the absence of it need stop anyone 
from writing and sharing good code.


We've seen many contributions to both the engine and IDE code with only 
the documentation we have today and a willingness to code.


If someone wants to contribute code to the IDE suggest it to the team, 
talk over how it fits, read their code to see how to integrate it, and 
in reading the code you'll see the style that will fit best.


Personally, before I would be motivated to document code style any more 
than I already have, I'd need to see specific fixes and enhancements 
that are prevented by that documentation's absence.


Where we can find such blockers, let's provide what's need to unblock them.

And where we can proceed with what we have, let's proceed.

http://use-livecode.runrev.narkive.com/8REAd9JD/any-convention-on-naming-conventions

I kind of find it very important for joint work and contributions. Maybe
there should be a page from LiveCode offering at least a semi-official
Community Standards Guide (or whatever it would be called) for
LiveCode Script.

Or will we all switch to LCB and slowly forget about LCS? (I am not sure
here.)))

For local variables, I also do not like long expressions for simple
counters which are created "on the fly". The most widely adopted standard
is using i, j, k, l ... (not x and not tCount) -- but otherwise, local
variables in LCS start with "t" in LCS as tSomething. But something should
be recommended for all others to follow, and not just say "do as you like"
-- if there is any joint community effort expected.

Yes, I am using pSomething for parameters even though there could be
arguments against it. But I find them quickly in my script and know what
they mean.

And when I put something into the messages box, I ALWAYS type "put ... into
msg" instead of simply "put ..." because then I can find such instances
with the search and disable or enable such instructions. There are too many
"puts" to search for otherwise. Little things that make life easier.

But more important, an adopted COMMUNITY standard should be widely
available and prominently placed to allow new users and everyone to access
it at any time - maybe even as a separate section in the dictionary? I
suggest a section discussing the STANDARD way of naming, writing code,
naming functions, naming keywords, ways of commenting, what to avoid, what
to care for, warning from pit holes, how to publish to the community, how
to open new projects to the community, best way of debugging, best way of
implementing error detection in general, best way of avoiding the script
editor to open when users are using our app, single/multi user approaches
with a rights management, best way implementing a database management
system with remote databases depending on security issues and number of
concurrent users considerations, how to implement design concepts (such as
Googles material design), etc.

And it could also be argued that data-driven applications use a lot of
databases, and the naming conventions for such databases should be
maintained, for example not to use the "_" underscore as a first char for
field names, or not to use upperLower (camel case) naming when the database
distinguishes between upper and lower characters, because easily, simple
typing mistakes can create hours of searching the problem.

The best STANDARD here is to look for the LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR when

So; here's LiveCode's next headache:

How to build a Linux standalone which can be installed on an x86 Android
device.


Mobile limitations are fairly severe, and most of the IDE tools wouldn't 
work. Just the fact that only one window at a time can be open would 
remove the ability to display palettes, tools, plugins, app and project 
browsers, etc. Also, no floating script editor.


Then imagine trying trying to type scripts on a 5-inch phone keyboard.

That's just a start of the list of things that can't be done currently 
on mobile.

"To start using the externals, unzip the MergExt download and you will

Does that mean a one-time exercise, or that one has to include the
.lcext in the standalones settings for each stack one wishes to
use it in?


Like any other inclusion, it needs to be copied to the standalone when 
it is built. If the standalone opens other mainstacks, those don't need 
inclusions, only the app stack needs them. You only have to do this once 
and standalone settings will remember.


If you build a standalone from an entirely different stack, then you'd 
need to copy the external to that one too as part of the normal 
standalone settings setup.

Hermann:
Thanks so much. This is very helpful. I thought I was in for a huge tussle 
getting this to work and now I see that it’s not going to be a huge hassle. I 
write geophysical data on a map and Google puts out some nice looking terrain 
maps, and now I don’t need to include maps in my app. Wonderful!

Bill

Re: Getting a Google MAP

[hh via use-livecode]

Have you already seen this nifty utility?
http://staticmapmaker.com/google/

===

I use the following for getting the geo-location.

on mouseUp
  put url ("https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/; & \
  "json?address=25a+Thistle+Street+SW,+Edinburgh,+UK") into rslt
  replace quote with empty in rslt
  replace space with empty in rslt
  put offset ("location:{",rslt) into offs
  put line 2 to 3 of (char offs to -1 of rslt) into fld 1
end mouseUp

For displaying, I usually align the (right-aligned) fld 1 
to the botRight of the image/ map display.

Re: Getting a Google MAP

[Mike Bonner via use-livecode]

heres a link to the geocode api information:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/intro  I'm not
sure my interpretation of the viewport is accurate, but even if you just
use the center point and do the calculations, and ignore the rest of the
data, it should work.

Re: Getting a Google MAP

[Mike Bonner via use-livecode]

If you do a second call to the geocode api you can get the info you need.

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=Berkeley,+CA=14=400x400

There appear to be 2 location sections.  One contains the bounds of the
request, the other contains the bounds of the viewport IE zoom level 14, at
400x400

i haven't really tested much other than to see what kind of results come
back, but hopefully this will get you to where you want to go.

I also saw the following..
https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/46729/corner-coordinates-of-google-static-map-tile
which is very interesting. The problem being you would still need the
center point as a starting position, then you can calculate the corners
based on the zoom factor.

Re: Getting a Google MAP

[prothero--- via use-livecode]

Thanks for the openstreetmap link. I'm really liking the Google maps option 
since my app is being developed for free distribution to educators and I am not 
particularly interested in streets. The satellite or terrain views are what I 
want.

Now all I have to do is figure out how to get the lat/Lon values at the 
corners. Then I'll be all set.

If anybody else is interested in what .I'm doing, I'll be glad to share code.

Best,
Bill

Best,
Bill

Kognition Beta Test - call for volunteers

[Kevin Miller via use-livecode]

Hi Everyone,

A slightly unusual post from me today. For those of you that don¹t know,
LiveCode has been working in partnership with a new company as a joint
venture, to build an app to help manage information. We have built a system
that uses artificial intelligence techniques to help organize, sort and work
with documents. While this is an entirely separate company, the app has been
built in LiveCode (and utilizes a wide range of other technologies too).

Kognition is intended to help you manage the increasing volumes of
information that you create or receive, as well as being a tool to help
researchers conduct research or businesses to collect and analyze
information such as customer enquiries or bug reports. It presents an
artificially intelligent front-end that lets you relate documents together,
as well as organize, cluster and discover information in the relationships.
For example, if you are working on a project and receive an email with an
attachment, it can show you what other documents on your hard drive relate
to that attachment or are relevant to the project. If you have a customer
enquiry asking for a particular feature you can explore all the other
questions to find out how many others are asking about similar topics. The
system goes far beyond simple keyword analysis, for example it can relate
documents together that do not have the same words in them.

Today we have our very first beta available. Its a private beta, so if you
are interested in trying it out please drop me a note off list. Please
include a very short description of your company or you together with what
you might potentially use the system for. The first beta is Mac only and
requires a recent, high-end machine. Subsequent betas will extend to other
platforms and reduce system requirements. If you don¹t have a high end Mac
available today but are still interested, let me know and I can still send
you the videos to look at and include you in subsequent betas. Thanks in
advance for your interest.

Kind regards,

Kevin

Re: Community Coding Standards, Naming Conventions, Best Practice in LiveCode Script for community contribution work

[Roger Eller via use-livecode]

i and j are about as far as I go with nested repeats.  Although sometimes I
further process the resulting tEmpList in yet another repeat loop.  It
helps me to follow my own code if I can produce a list with modifications,
and put tEmpList (into msg) before proceeding with more processing.
Personal preference.

I do like the idea of a script checker, with suggested ways to write it in
a "cleaner" way.  It would be very good for noobs who haven't yet formed
their own habits, good or bad.  There's always a better way, and sharing is
the BEST way to find it.

Re: Getting a Google MAP

[hh via use-livecode]

Not to forget related to (static) maps, especially as you can have
them from there also as SVG or 'true' PDF (not embedded PNG only):

https://www.openstreetmap.org

For exporting as HTML link or as an "image" (JPG, PNG, SVG, PDF)
see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Export

In short:
Don't use the Export button at top/left (which is for raw map
data) but _the sharing link at right_ that opens a prefs box.
