Hi Peter

Thanks for the link, your webinar stuff does provide some valuable

I saw your work on SQLMagic.. is there any ETA?

Re: Database Input Validation

[Pascal Lehner]

Hi Peter and Bob,

Thanks for your ideas.
I think I found a good way by doing a input check for the user fields on
closeField to avoid totally wrong information and then I will store this
unicode encoded in the database.
This should avoid quite a few problems from the start.

Regards,
Pascal

Database Input Validation

[Pascal Lehner]

Hi all,

I am working on a desktop app that is running a SQLite database and might
well end up as a HTML5 server version with MySQL in the not-so-far future.
For this I want to have some sort of input validation to avoid security and
XSS incidents.

Does anyone have a library or function to "sanitize" any sql statement
before running it against the database? Or how do you do this?

Thanks,

Pascal

Hi Simon

If LiveCode Ltd. (the company formerly known as RunRev) agrees I'd be happy
to host the file as a download on my SpiderOak account or maybe you can
even put it on youtube for everyone to watch?
Since I watched the keynote live yesterday I do not have a copy of your
catch it as yet.

Use MenuPick properly

[Pascal Lehner]

Hi all,

I use menuPick to have a button with a drop down menu. The menu items are
loaded from a database and the users selection needs to be stored back
there too.

the dropdown list looks as following (id, name)
1, full
2, half full
3, empty

I save the users selection in two fields on the card
item 1 in a hidden field ( to be stored in the database record)
item 2 is displayed in another field

obviously, the dropdown list does not look very nice like this. Even more
so when I look at a real-world example with several words for "name"

Can you think of a way to display only the "name" in the dropdown list, but
still save the id in the hidden field?

Thanks,
Pascal

Re: 21 seconds to go

I even made it down to 0 seconds, then up to 54, then 3121, and now 45
minutes.

Are we moving back in time?

let's see what happens in 45 minutes. I guess it's sorted now since the
campaign was always supposed to close in 45 minutes
can't work anymore anyway..

Re: Just one app in an Android tablet

[Pascal Lehner]

Hi
Possibly there is some Kiosk mode in Android directly - or there is at
least an app for that:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.telelogos.standalonekiosk
or
http://appcrawlr.com/android-apps/best-apps-kiosk-mode

I'm sure you can implement something similar directly in your app too.
However, not sure if LC can digg that deep into the system since I haven't
gotten to Android dev yet..

Re: Fade effect for a Field

Hi all,
Thanks for the quick answers. I will give them a try.
I just found another solution that seems even smaller but less configurable.

hide field id 1012 with dissolve

show field id 1012 with dissolve

Here:
https://sites.google.com/a/pgcps.org/livecode/home/disappearing-objects

Now I just need to set it up in a way that it doesn't stop the rest of the
work that is being done in the background

Fade effect for a Field

[Pascal Lehner]

Hi all,

I want to make a field displaying some status text ("Record saved") that
fades from invisible to visible, stays for a few seconds and then fades out
again.

I have seen that there seems to be a way to do this with groups, but could
I also do it with a single field?

Thanks,

Pascal

Re: OT: how to restore my Mac?

Hi Tiemo,

I don't have my Mac in front of me right now but as far as I remember
it does offer a reset permissions function.

Just found this, which should work:
http://macs.about.com/od/Troubleshooting/qt/Mac-Troubleshooting-Reset-User-Account-Permissions.htm
or, as I do, you can give ONYX a chance, it does offer similar and
more functions: http://www.onyxmac.com/
Backup first, as usual ;-)

.livecode files and display the scripts instead of "cannot display binary
file".

Here is the ticket:

Deleting certain fields behaves strangely

[Pascal Lehner]

Hi all

I have a script that creates fields named "Point1", "Point2" ... describing
certain data points on a graph. This works fine. However, when the number
of Points on the new graphic is smaller than on the old, I have old
"PointX" that remain from the previous graphc. Thus I want to implement a
delete routine to get rid of all fields and recreate them.

In the current example I have 6 data points called
Point1 to Point6


*repeat* with tField = 1 to the number of fields *on* card targetCard
*  put* the short name of field tField into tFieldName
*if* tFieldName contains "Point" *then
**  put* "Deleting field no." && tField && "named" && tFieldName
  *delete* field tFieldName
*end* *if*
*end* *repeat
*
However, the following shows a very strange behavior I cannot understand
just now.
When I run it, it deletes Point1, Point3, Point5 but does not care about
the even numbers and breaks with an error message "Chunk: no such object".
When I run it again just afterwards, Point4 is the only survivor, same
error message.
When I run it a third time, Point4 is removed and the new graph is drawn
correctly.

Can you spot the issue? It is LiveCode Community 6.1.1. RC4

Datagrid: Edit row, save to database

[Pascal Lehner]

Hi all,

Sitting in the Indian sun and writing on my hobby project. (Sorry for
that.. ;-)
Couldn't be better if there wasn't that one thing I cannot figure out just
now.

I load data from several tables (main table: ingredients) from a a SQLite
database into a data grid.

Now I wan't to provide an option to edit such displayed rows within the
data grid. The user should be able to click on a certain field and then
edit it however he wishes. When clicking save (or upon exiting this field),
these data should be saved back to the database. Kinda like Excel can do.
Also, there is fields where he should be able to chose from a drop-down
menu (like 'categories') since these are linked tables and I only store the
index no in the 'ingredients table'.

Similarly, I wan't to provide an option to add new rows but I think that's
going to be a similar command/code.

Is there an easy way to do that?
If not, I might just display several fields with the data for him to edit
below the grid but that probably isn't what a user expects from such a
datagrid..

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Pascal

Re: Where to store database ID

[Pascal Lehner]

Hi Mike

Thanks for the reply, it seems I can do less :-)
I got into the habit of doing it that way when I first experimented with
sqlite and DBLib and noticed that I get a new DBID everytime I reopen the
stack.
So I basically could just set the global to 1 and this works, as long as I
just use one DB? When using two different ones, would I just use 1 and 2?

I figure since it is a local DB it does not require a unique key or
something (which 1 or 2 are not really, anyways..).

Best regards,
Pascal

Where to store database ID

[Pascal Lehner]

Hi all,

I am working on a project with a SQLite DB and I'm wondering if there is an
improvement to the following:

On preOpenStack I connect to the database and store the connection ID in a
custom property on the main stack.

In whatever command I  write or execute where I use any sql command to read
or write data, I always have to get the connection ID from the custom
property and put it in a local variable as the first thing of this command.
This means I repeat that "put custom variable in local variable" quite
often..

Is this the right way or would you probably store it once in a global or
so? Also, when does this connection ID expire and I need a new one? How can
I recognise that before the DB returns an error?

Cheers from foggy Edinbra..

Re: [OT] Skydrive

[Pascal Lehner]

Hi Pete,

I also used Google Drive for a while, but when starting to scan all my
stuff I actually switched to Wuala about 2 years ago (http://www.wuala.com/en/)
- I only have one small paper-based folder with diplomas and stuff by now.

Wuala offers about the same features including team options as the other
apps, but with one (for me) important feature: end to end encryption. So do
not loose your password! And since Wuala is a Swiss company based in
Switzerland (now owned by French LaCie), there actually is some laws
protecting my data from being opened without any court order by someone
else (apart from the fact that Wuala cannot access my files at all since
they are only stored encrypted). They offer clients for Win, Mac,
Linux, iOSand Android; some sort of web-based access is also possible,
but due to the
encryption it basically runs a install-free client when starting web-based.
Wuala offers backup, selective sync and lots of other stuff as well. The
only thing I sometimes miss when setting up a new computer is a
LAN-internal direct sync, since that would be quicker..

I spent quite some time finding the perfect solution for me back then and
am still absolutely happy with my selection. Support is also very quick.

Wuala might be a bit higher priced than other services, but depending on
the amount of data you actually have it is absolutely worth it.

Best regards,
Pascal

P.S. I know this sounded like a sales pitch, but I am just one happy user
without any ties to them.. Only thing I gain is if you chose to click this
link ( http://www.wuala.com/referral/KBH7MG6PG3GJHMBCBP6H ) instead of the
above when signing up since this will give me a gigabyte for free for a
year ;-)

Valentina DB, SQLite and DBLib

[Pascal Lehner]

Hi everyone,

Another rather n00b-ish question ;-)

I have a SQLite database with about 15 tables. Some of them are
obviously relational. Some of the tables will have a row added every
15 or 30 minutes, but only with 4-5 columns each, the others will be
much smaller.

I started to write my app using DBLib which works very nicely. I
assumed that I have to handle the table-relations (update several
fields in several tables if necessary) myself and remember to write
the data everywhere where it is required.

I installed Valentina Studio yesterday and see that Valentina actually
can handle diagrams and automatically creates the connecting tables to
handle m:m relations. Does that mean using the right command, I can
also have the data automatically interlinked in these realtion tables?

Now I'm wondering: Can I use Andre's DBLib to write the data to the
database and get the relations handled automatically after I add some
Valentina DB script to my stack? Or do I need to use the
VDatabase-handles and probably loose the nice features like DBWhere
from DBLIB? What would you do? Are there any VDatabase features that I
just MUST have or use?

I might also want to offer MySLQ and SQLite in the future for this app
and make as less changes as possible.

Best regards,

Pascal

Hi everyone,

I just found out that when buidling for Windows, revsecurity.dll is
automatically included as well to support https. However, my stack does not
use https at all except for one link in the comments!

Now I wanted to ask you how you usually handle such things - should I file
that as a bug/enhancement or just accept it as a "feature"?

XML and Unicode

[Pascal Lehner]

Hi everyone,

I am working on small tool to convert a specific XML file into several html
pages.
The whole thing looks good and should be working fine eventually. However,
there is one thing I did not figure out yet: Unicode.

My XML is partially french and has a lot of symbols like this:
   Personnes du monde rural aux 19ème et 20ème
siècles

however, when I read this file into Livecode and take it apart, I get stuff
like this in my variables:

Personnes du monde rural aux 19ème et 20ème siècles
Can someone help me changin these symols back to their originals
respecitvely I will need them in a html file in the end. I guess that's
some Unicode issue but I am somehow lost when and how to best change the
strings..

Thanks a lot :-)

Pascal

Re: DB Lib goes dual license with GPL and Commercial License

Hi Andre,
Thanks very much for that!

I just watched your video, you will save me a lot of SQL :-)
Just one quick question I could not find on the website and which is
probably obvious for the more advanced people here: How do I install DBLib?
Copy to the plugins folder in my documents?

Mobile Bandwith and Battery Optimization

[Pascal Lehner]

Hi everyone,

I just stumbled accross this video and the free online O'Reilly book from
Ilya Grigorik on "High Performance Browser Networking". Thought that might
be interesting to all the app developers out there..

Grigorik also spoke during Google I/O 2013 - Mobile Performance from the
Radio Up: Battery, Latency and Bandwidth Optimization:

Greetz from a very sunny Edinburgh (that's day 2 of 2 from this years
summer..),

Android Push Notifications

[Pascal Lehner]

Hey everyone,

I used to set up a test with Android push notifications following this
HowTo and the stack that comes with it:
http://lessons.runrev.com/m/4069/l/59312

I managed to set up all the dev stuff and actually generate my mobile's
token. But when I try to send a notification using the stack
AndroidPushTest_new from the HowTo, I get a "error: communication failed"
in the stack. Could someone else with a working set up give this stack a
try?

Thanks!

Pascal

Re: US at conference?

[Pascal Lehner]

Welcome to the island :-) and since its not raining right now, I'd even
consider it good weather..

Just in case you want to go to the castle and there is a big crowd trying
to get tix - just buy them beforehand online. you get a code which you then
can use to print the tix right at the castle entrance without any waiting..

Re: [ANN] Book. Programming LiveCode for the Real Beginner

[Pascal Lehner]

A ebook would be cool in addition to the paperback as a reference to easily
carry around.
However, for that type of books I prefer "real" books with the possibilty
to make easy notes, and the possibility to make an index (and frustrated
throwing around with a kindle isn't that fun either ).

Thanks to Heather I will attend the first two days of the conference as
well :-)
Hope to see you there between the workshops

Regards,
Pascal

Re: [ANN] Book. Programming LiveCode for the Real Beginner

[Pascal Lehner]

Hi Mark
I also ordered one of the books, it does look great and will glow in the
shelf ;-)

If there is a way to pick it up in Edinburgh that would be great. Since
there is no student package available I won't be able to attend the
conference but I am living here..

Regards,

Pascal
