Re: Pass Javascript Session Cookie to LiveCode Variable?
Hi Matthias, I found the problem. You had: put $_Cookie["username”] It shouldn’t have the quotes. put $_Cookie[username] works fine. I think I made the same mistake sometime! LOL Cookies reside in the client’s web-browser which is why as users were are always clearing them out. So, LiveCode can read Javascript cookies! Yay! It’s good enough for now. I’ll revisit Javascript session variables later. Thanks for your help!

Re: Segmented Control Widget
The segmented control is fairly limited. Most of the widgets are. The properties you see are the properties you get. I did however, with a bit of clever scripting, develop a tabbed object group that works as well or better that the built in tabbed button. And for a bonus, it looks in Windows the same as it loos on the Mac. Really, the Windows UI is really horrible for LC. I just gotta say. It puts the Ugh in Ughly.

Re: Ideas on iOS GPS tracking needed
Hi Graham, PS The only test data I have been able to find for the XCode Simulator is a bike ride in California which runs along giving a succession of GPS . It is quite useful, but naturally it doesn’t involve anomalies. You can make your own location simulations to run in the iOS simulator. They are .gpx files containing coordinate information in XML format. I created one for my students to use on my App Development (in Swift) module. I managed to hack it together and made a simulated walk/run around part of the Liverpool University Campus. To make one these you need GPS coordinates (I got them from Google Maps) and times - the difference in time from the last step determines the speed that the marker travels from the previous step. Since it was done by hand, the times between steps don’t match well with the distances and so the walk turns into a very fast run once or twice, but it works as an example. Copy and paste the text below into a text file and save it with a “.gpx” extension. http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1 http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1/gpx.xsd"; version="1.1" creator="Phil Jimmieson and Jodie Zhou"> Ashton Building 2019-11-22T08:59:46Z step 1 2019-11-22T09:01:00Z step 2 2019-11-22T09:01:20Z step 3 2019-11-22T09:01:40Z step 4 2019-11-22T09:02:00Z step 5 2019-11-22T09:02:20Z step 6 2019-11-22T09:02:40Z step 7 2019-11-22T09:03:00Z step 8 2019-11-22T09:03:20Z step 9 2019-11-22T09:03:40Z step 10 2019-11-22T09:04:00Z step 11 2019-11-22T09:04:20Z step 12 2019-11-22T09:04:40Z -- Phil Jimmieson University of Liverpool, Computer Science Department Ashton Bldg, Ashton Street, Liverpool.

Re: mergeJSON on server problem
Let me dig into this in more detail with some tests - other data encoding is
causing problems. Note I only find this on the unix server not with the local
MacOS version of the same code and data.
I’m going to refer to this stack overflow answer regarding encoding:

Re: Pass Javascript Session Cookie to LiveCode Variable?
Rick, you are mixing something. $_session array is stored on the server while sessionstorage is stored on the clients computer. I am not sure that there is a direct way to let Livecode Server read sessionstorage directly from the clients computer, but i might be wrong. At least PHP is not able. One way would be to use Javascript to read the storagesession and post it to a LC Server script using Ajax. You could even do this from one single LC server script. In the script you would check if the $_POST array contains any data. If the $_POST array is empty, then you have to execute the javascript that fetches the sessionstorage data and if there is sessionstorage then it posts that data to the script again. If the $_POST array is not empty, then you can continue the script using the sessionstorage data. At least this is the way how it is done in .php I've used this method a lot for processing form data.
