I am glad it is useful. I to really like the presentation of Dash, especially 
on my ipad.

It is now actually version 1.7.2

As for the update.
It would seem that updates to user contributions are not quite automatic.
(This could be as I leave one previous version in place.)

On the Mac go to Preferences.
Click on the "Check and Install Now" button at the bottom to jog an update OF 
THE LISTING.
Select the "User-Contributions" section in the lefthand pane.
In the search area above the list of user contributed docsets, type "livecode".
On the right of the entry for LivCode there is a popup menu which allows you to 
choose which docset to install.

On the iPad go to "Settings" and click on "User Contributed docsets" and then 
on the "Update" button at the top of the screen.
At least on the iPad it seems to grab the latest (one with the higher version 
number.)

I am still getting all the "Associations" links to work so there will be a 
1.7.3 in the near future.


James

Extraordinary thanks, Paul, you have reduced my blood pressure by 30 points. I 
can’t think why I so obtuse as to not think of going to a different app and 
then sliding from the Development menu to the View menu! Simples!

Re: Numbering lines

[Geoff Canyon via use-livecode]

And of course if retaining the order isn't critical you could just go with:

function numberText T,D
   split T by cr
   combine T by cr and D
   return T
end numberText

function unNumberText T,D
   split T by cr and D
   combine T by cr
   return T
end unNumberText

Sorry, missed a delimiter reference:

function numberText T,D
   split T by return
   put "1" & D & T[1] into R
   repeat with K = 2 to item 2 of the extents of T
  put cr & K & D & T[K] after R --> change separator here

Re: Numbering lines

[Geoff Canyon via use-livecode]

Converted to functions with the text and delimiter as paramaters for ease
of use:

-- Add "inline line numbers" [-hh fecit, 2014]
function numberText T,D
   split T by return
   put "1:" && T[1] into R
   repeat with K = 2 to item 2 of the extents of T
  put cr & K & D & T[K] after R
   end repeat
   return R
end numberText

-- Remove "inline line numbers" [-hh fecit, 2014]
function unNumberText T,D
   split T by return and D
   put the keys of T into K
   sort K numeric
   repeat for each line L in K
  put cr & T[L] after R
   end repeat
   return char 2 to -1 of R

how to properly use the fullscreenmode and screen scaling

[Mike for GDC via use-livecode]

Hello,

 

I am new to LC and have learned much so far but I am having an issue with
the proper scaling of my app on different size screens.  I have created the
app with the dimensions of 913 w X 636 h.  All looks great on the desktop.

 

When I deploy it to my 8 inch Samsung Tab A (Android)  it is ok in the
Landscape mode, with one exception.  When I go to enter data, the keyboard
covers up some of the screen that I need to enter data.  It does not scroll
up to let me get

to the field of entry.  When it is in Portrait mode I can usually see the
field but the stack only takes up about half the screen so it is very small.
When I deploy it on the Samsung S8, it is even worse in that the entire
screen is not used and therefore

it is way too small to really use it.  I would hope there is a way to take
advantage of all the screen space so as the used has a larger screen to view
and enter data.It seems the keyboard is the same size and not scaled at
all.

 

Here are the script statements that I put in my "preopenstack" of my first
card:

 

set the fullscreenMode of this stack to "showAll"

put "portrait,portrait upside down,landscape left,landscape right" into
theallowed

-- Function Call

mobileSetAllowedOrientations theallowed

 

I have also used the "exactfit", "noborder" and "soScale" options but they 

any help with suggestions or example code of how it should work would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Mike

Re: “Make Docset” updated to 3.1, DASH docset for LC now at 1.7.1

[J. Landman Gay via use-livecode]

And on Android it doesn't work at all, which is where I wanted to use 
it. The Android build won't load user contributions. :(

Re: Standalone issue ... was starting the Project Browser

If your builds are going smoothly you don't have to change anything. Try 
it in LC 9 and see. The problem only occurs if any "open" or "close" 
handlers do something that interferes or throws errors.



So, does this situation only occur for the first standalone build?  Not the 
second time?  What is implied should be done if one of the conditions in the 
function is false?  very confusing!!!


A "can't find stack" used to occur the first time you build during any 
one session. The updated handler check fixes this so you don't need to 
worry about it any more.




I guess I was looking for something more specific about where to put this "fix":

e.g.

In an openStack call, you'd put this ... where?  At the end of the code just before the 
"end openStack"? (that's where I put it):

  if isBuildingStandalone() then
   exit openstack
  end if


The idea is that this fix will prevent the handler from executing at 
all, so it needs to be at the very front of the handler, right after the 
"on " line.



My question, then, is do I have to have a similar "if isBuildingStandalone()" call in all the "opens" and 
"closes" you list (and others) and do I "exit" the call if isBuildingStandalone() returns "true"?

WOW! ... if THAT's needed then I can't imagine anyone editing all of their code 
to do this!!!


Yes, that's what the additional lines do -- exit the handler before it 
can run. And I agree that this is an issue for some apps. The problem it 
tries to solve is retention of script local variable values, as well as 
preventing unnecessary handlers from running. But I'd rather 
reinitialize things when necessary than to add extra lines to so many 
engine messages.


I'd be happy with a simple toggle that lets me turn on lockmessages 
before building. I've been accomodating that behavior for years.

Re: Numbering lines

[hh via use-livecode]

1. Besides removing scroll-update, which takes most of the time, you could
try the following array-methods (which are essentially from my stack
http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?p=101301#p101301 , see there
card "LineNums, tab "Nb2").

This needs here on a medium fast machine (Mac mini, 2.5GHz) in average
with LC 9.0.1 (which is at about 30% faster than LC 8.1.10 with that):

680 ms for 1 lines to add the line numbers,
650 ms for 1 lines to remove the line numbers,
both incl. the field update (a lot of long lines are to break).

-- Add "inline line numbers" [-hh fecit, 2014]
-- Uses separator ": " (In LC 6 use one single char, remove below needs that)
on mouseUp
  lock screen; lock messages
  put the millisecs into m1
  set cursor to watch
  put fld "IN" into T
  split T by return
  put the keys of T into K
  sort K numeric
  repeat for each line L in K
put cr & L & ": " & T[L] after S --> change separator here
  end repeat
  set text of fld "OUT" to char 2 to -1 of S
  put -1+the num of lines of S & " lines: " & \
the millisecs -m1 & " ms" into fld "timing"
end mouseUp

-- Remove "inline line numbers" [-hh fecit, 2014]
-- Uses separator ": " (the above, in LC 6 you have to use one single char)
on mouseUp
  lock screen; lock messages
  put the millisecs into m1
  set cursor to watch
  put the text of fld "OUT" into S
  split S by return and ": " --> change separator here
  put the keys of S into K
  sort K numeric
  repeat for each line L in K
put cr & S[L] after T
  end repeat
  put char 2 to -1 of T into fld "IN2"
  put -1+the num of lines of T & " lines: " & \
the millisecs -m1 & " ms : " & (fld "IN2" is fld "IN") into fld "timing"
end mouseUp

2. All "big" editors that show line numbers never update the whole long text
** but only a few lines more than the visible line range **. Using that, nearly
every LCS method (that locks the screen (and messages)) will be fast enough.

Re: Standalone issue ... was starting the Project Browser

[Brian Milby via use-livecode]

If your code does things that break when called as a part of the build process, 
then you need to check and exit the handler before the code executes. Putting 
it at the end of the handler is not needed. If needed, it probably needs to go 
toward the top of the handler.

When the IDE first launches, the revStandaloneProgress stack is not loaded. 
After you build any project, then it will remain in memory for the rest of the 
session.

Thanks,
Brian

Re: Numbering lines

[J. Landman Gay via use-livecode]

Another issue may be the line that updates the scrollbar. Try commenting 
out that line as a test just to see if that's the problem. If so, you might 
opt for a spinner or progress bar instead.

Auth token + Firebase

[Jose Enrique Montero via use-livecode]

Hi, I am starting a project of an IOS / android app, and I want to use
firebase for the database, but  can't authenticate the users because there
is no SDK for LIVECODE.

I have created an OAUTH2 server that generates a token and I can validate
the  email / password  pair through API and receive an access token.

Now the problem is that I want the app to connect directly to Firebase
REST, but using the token generated on the server.

Someone could help me a little in clarifying this mess I have.

https://firebase.google.com/docs/database/rest/auth

I would appreciate any idea,
Best Regards

Standalone issue ... was starting the Project Browser

[Douglas Ruisaard via use-livecode]

I've changed the subject line (from Re: starting the Project Browser) to 
reflect this discussion more accurately.

If that's true then there's (sigh!) one more reason to stay away from LC v9... 
but I really don't understand the reason why this is necessary in the first 
place.  I've never had a standalone fail with a "can't find stack" error:

from 
http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Standalone-build-workaround-td4728140.html#a4728141

"... when you open the stack for the first time (without having built a 
standalone before), the stack "revStandaloneProgress" is not loaded yet 
(thus the "can't find stack error)"

So, does this situation only occur for the first standalone build?  Not the 
second time?  What is implied should be done if one of the conditions in the 
function is false?  very confusing!!!

I guess I was looking for something more specific about where to put this "fix":

e.g.

In an openStack call, you'd put this ... where?  At the end of the code just 
before the "end openStack"? (that's where I put it):

 if isBuildingStandalone() then 
  exit openstack 
 end if

and have the following function call accessible to call cards (i.e. in the 
stack)?

function isBuildingStandalone 
 return the environment is "development" AND \
   there is a stack "revStandaloneProgress" AND \
 the mode of stack "revStandaloneProgress" > 0 
end isBuildingStandalone 


My question, then, is do I have to have a similar "if isBuildingStandalone()" 
call in all the "opens" and "closes" you list (and others) and do I "exit" the 
call if isBuildingStandalone() returns "true"?

WOW! ... if THAT's needed then I can't imagine anyone editing all of their code 
to do this!!!

Re: tabbed windows in Mac - as setProp

[Paul Hibbert via use-livecode]

The menu item “View > Show Tab Bar” does show up occasionally, there does seem 
to be a trick to getting it to show up if it’s not there right now. 

I find that switching apps will sometimes return the menu item occasionally, 
but I seem to be able to force it to show up by switching to an app that does 
have tabs, such as Mail, then click on the LC window that is showing a Tab Bar 
(to switch back to LC), now click and hold on the “Development” Menu then slide 
across to the “View” menu, now you have one opportunity to turn off the 
offending Tab bar before it magically disappears again.

Hope I explained well enough and it works for you, good luck.

Paul

Re: “Make Docset” updated to 3.1, DASH docset for LC now at 1.7.1

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

First of all, thanks a lot for doing this.  Dash is now my default way to
access the docs, on both my ipad and mac.  I love it.
Second, I have auto-updates turned on for both platforms, but they both
show the LC docs at 1.6.1
