Re: Progressive Web App (PWA)
Progressive web apps are just websites, with a manifest file (JSON based text file that contains additional settings, like links to the "apps" homepage icon). Any website can be made into a PWA regardless of the technology used to create it. PWA can make use of Javascript-based service workers that can help give that native feel, e.g. for caching, data storage and offline support. Sadly though on iOS, PWA's are yet to support push notifications. You access the URL of the PWA and get prompted to add the app to the home screen. From there, when the app is launched, it is displayed fullscreen, how the app now functions depends purely on how you have coded the app. There tends to be a lot of focus on creating single-page based apps for mobile (e.g using vue, angular, react etc) to get that "native" app experience - but personally I prefer multipage apps and only using javascript when needed. Depending on what you are doing, performance often exceeds that of the "native" app approach.

Hi Stephen Depending on what you are wanting to do, the WordPress API also supports Application Passwords (https://wordpress.org/plugins/application-passwords/) Basic Authentication (https://github.com/WP-API/Basic-Auth) and JSON web tokens (https://wordpress.org/plugins/jwt-authentication-for-wp-rest-api/) which maybe a bit easier to work with - depending of course on your needs.

Re: LC Server style survey: co-mingle code w/HTML?
It's impracticable for most hosting companies to keep a clients WordPress installation up to date. All the plugins and themes need to be kept up to date at the same time and sometimes need to be manually uploaded. There is then a problem that if a host updates something and something breaks - who would pick this up and who would be responsible for fixing the problem. Then there are also updates that require manual intervention, like changes to the database etc, and sometimes you may not want something updated either. There are a couple of hosting companies that offer this as a managed service - but it comes at quiet a cost and you will face a limit as to what plugins etc you can use. While WordPress is considered secure and actively audited, most themes and plugins are not, and problems do creep in. A website (not just WordPress) that gets hacked can do a fair amount of damage, it affect other sites on the server and when things like IP addresses get black listed, it's a bit of nightmare for the host. Most hosts are pretty understanding (despite what their terms and conditions may say) and if they discover a problem they will notify you, or in serve situations take the site offline and ask you to fix the problem, before putting the site live again. While WordPress is a fantastic platform, it does require regular upkeep - it's not something you can setup and just leave. There are dashboards you can use (e.g. JetPack, WP Remote etc) that let you manage single or multiple sites from a single location offering convenient way for keeping an eye on what needs to be updated.

Re: LC Server style survey: co-mingle code w/HTML?
PHP is definitely the most popular language for letting you code this way, but then it is pretty much only for the web unlike most other languages. Other languages can work this way too - e.g. Python has PSP, Java has JSP as does Ruby, Lua etc. but not as popular as PHP.

Re: LC Server style survey: co-mingle code w/HTML?
Personally I do prefer to mix HTML / code together. I don't think it right to say it is a PHP way to do things though :) - PHP does not encourage one to go this route for what I think is usually called spaghetti code. While some platforms, like WordPress have done quiet a bit to encourage this style of coding with it's plugins and theme development - there are many PHP developers who are very public in their dislike for such "barbaric" coding practices and also numerous frameworks that don't support/encourage mixing html/php either. Personally I think it is one of the reasons that lead to the popularity of WordPress as it makes certain tasks very easy to, even if you don't have much coding experience. Yes it does depend on what I am doing, but for the most part, I don't have any issues mixing code and HTML together.

Re: Livecode Content Management System
Hi I have played with this a bit, and got pretty far for a proof of concept for an ecommerce project I was working on. I stopped working on it when I left the company I was working for. I did not use rev igniter since I wanted it to function as it's own framework and I think it just makes the coding simpler in the end. I was not coding it in the IDE but rather my text editor (sublime), it just works so nicely for web projects =) and I have not really had any problems with debugging in the browser. I got pretty far with it. Creating pages, posts products etc, Had a WYSIWYG editor (TinyMCE) along with a simple image uploader / manager. Themes worked and kinda had I have an idea on how to handle some type of plugin architecture. It was working pretty well for the project I was developing it for. I have since then started cleaning it up and making it more of a generic CMS but time is my biggest problem :(. The idea was / is to have an alternative CMS that I could use for when WordPress was not a good fit for a website. I have also done a much simpler "CMS" in LC for my blog. It's just 1 lc file and an sqlite database and does pretty much everything I need. Still needs a bit of cleaning up, but I am quiet happy with the way it turned out and how easy it was code. To answer your question: 1) Apart from time, l did find that there were a few PHP functions that would have be very useful to have in LiveCode but I could work around pretty much all the problems I had. 2) Everything has its place. WordPress is a fantastic CMS and capable of much more than most people realise but does have it's limits. 3) Unfortunately I don't have much rev igniter experience, but I have never been fond of using frameworks in web projects. If everything was working smoothly and quickly, I don't think it is necessary to remove rev igniter and I would far rather work with a text editor and debug in the browser than in the IDE. While WordPress is a very popular CMS (can't deny that) it can become very user unfriendly very quickly, and not to mention slow. Clients are usually happy to accept alternative solutions if they will make their lives easier (even if they are simpler and lack all the functionality of a more popular CMS. It is amazing how much faster a CMS can be once you strip out all the unneeded functionality.

Re: [OT]h.264 alternatives
I would stay with h.264 if possible - its popular and supported by most platforms. Having to trouble shoot video issues on an ongoing basis is not really fun. But yes - there is a licencing requirement if its being used commercially - no idea how actively it is policed. Are the video's going to be shared commercially? How will they be accessed etc etc etc. Depending on the video's, length and number of users etc , there could be no actual costs incurred - http://www.mpegla.com/main/programs/AVC/Documents/avcweb.pdf and even if costs were to be incurred, what would be the support costs and possibly losses if a less popular codec was used.

Re: Refreshing question
Hi
Couple of ways you could look at doing it.
Depending on the formatting of the page, you could use an iframe and just
get the page that is getting loaded each time to refresh with something
like - this would just reload the
section of the page and not the entire page.
You could also use a jquery to reload just a portion of the page and
something like:
$(document).ready(function () {
setInterval(function() {
$("#content").load("http://mydomain.com/script.ls;);
}, 5000);
})
If the data that you are wanting to display is in XML, and you are just
wanting to load that XML file every minute, I would look at using Jquery's
AJAX functionality, (http://api.jquery.com/jquery.ajax/) wrapped
inside a setTimeout
function.

Re: Server Installation
What I like about this is that it lowers the technical knowledge for setting up a server and is a great starting point as you just need to figure out an SSH client. I have never really taken to Macs - although I do need to consider getting one in the near future. I have never liked Microsoft based hosting when I use to use ASP - it was always messy and was never as stable as Linux based hosting and cost a fair amount more. At one of the companies I worked at, we had an a design agency client that used Macs for all their designers - but chose to run Windows on them and only use Windows software - never quiet understood that one. I think a good shared host should always be considered as a first choice when it comes to hosting anything - if nothing more than for the time saving, the reduced stress and value. I have never hosted with HostM, but the have been recommended to me a few times and I have only heard good things about them.

Re: Server Installation
It's taken me longer than I had hoped to do this. I got Livecode server up and running on the Windows 10 using both XAMPP and WAMP without any trouble. Both WAMP and XAMPP only needed a small change. I have documented everything here. http://activethought. net/installing-livecode-windows/ - and work equally well for hosting a LiveCode server locally. I started setting up an online Ubuntu server - but it's been a while since I have done it and its many many little steps and a lot of work to document. And I don't think its an ideal solution either - developers need something reliable that they can get up and running quickly and does not require in depth knowledge of Linux to get setup. So after some research I can across ServerPilot.io - a cloud based control panel for cloud servers (like Digital Ocean and Vultr). You setup a clean server - link it to their control panel - and it takes care of everything - in a minute or two you get a nicely setup server - with control panel, mysql, apache and PHP.. Their free option gives you the basics - everything that you need to get a server up and running. There is the option of upgrading the control panel to get extra features. Unfortunately the free account does not give you the ability to setup SSL, You need to pay $10 a month for that - but you can get around that using Cloud Flare. All that you have to do is setup LiveCode once everything is done - and you what is a really nice little potent little server. If interested - I have gone through it in more detail here, I rushed so hope I have not left anything out - http://activethought.net/perfect-livecode-cloud-server/. While I have ended up not documenting how to setup an entire server from scratch - for most I do think this is a much more convenient and better solution.

Re: Server Installation
I think it is worth saying that if you are wanting to host your own server online - it is well worth the pain of learning how to setup everything yourself. A control panel or a setup script would be great (my personal preference would be a setup script) - you do still need some experience to run a server online and trouble shoot any problems that can occur. Neglecting even something very small can have disastrous results - something I have learnt the hard way when I had a VPS hacked a many years ago. Learn the basic Linux commands, administer a firewall, use vim or nano to edit files, setup cron jobs, restart services, monitor resources, manage user rights, setup sftp or ftp, tweak mysql etc. You will be a better developer for it. I am in the process of setting up a new Windows PC and still need to install a local web server and I also need to setup a new Linux server hopefully in the next day or two - I will document everything I do and share that - hopefully its of help.

Re: Anyone have any LiveCode hooks to WordPress? And, are you following these Word Camp events
Thanks for the kind words Dave. The project involved using WooCommerce and WooCommerce Subscriptions. WooCommerce Subscriptions has numerous hooks that we could tie into everything depending on the event (e.g. Person activates a subscription) and CURL was used to pass that information to the LiveCode scripts. It was a bit of a process to get the necessary fields. There are a couple of ways to integrate LiveCode and WordPress (interact with content from WordPress), it just depends on what you are wanting to do. E.g. WordPress has the WP Rest API (https://github.com/WP-API/WP-API). That is probably one of the better options if you want LiveCode to interact with WordPress. WooCommerce also has its own API aswell. If you want WordPress to interact with LiveCode you have a good number of options aswell. We created a simple LiveCode script that data could get posted to via CURL. There are other options - some of them depend on the PHP/hosting settings and curl is what worked best.

Re: Moving to the Cloud. LiveCodeServer on Linux CentoOS vs Ubuntu 11
Hi Digital Ocean has a one click install for Lamp, that installs Ubuntu 14.04 along with php / mysql / apache. I have not played to much with optimizing all the settings, but there will be a few things you will have to tweak in apache to get everything running correctly. I imagine there will be a bit you can tweak on mysql aswell - depending on what you will be running. You will also have to handle hardening the server along with setting a firewall. Think I am still running 6.7, I tried upgrading it awhile ago and ran into a few problems (it was either session or post / get variables - cant remember) I would suggest trying the latest version, if there are any problems it takes only a moment to down grade. Simon On Wed, Feb 25, 2015 at 5:21 PM, Richard Gaskin ambassa...@fourthworld.com wrote: I just noticed your subject line says Ubuntu 11. Why that version? Ubuntu releases follow a pattern in which new versions are released every six months, numbered according to the release date. For example, 11.04 was released in April 2011, and 11.10 was released in October 2011. Every two years the April release is a Long Term Support (LTS) version, which will continue getting updates for 5 years. The interim releases are mostly for those who want the very latest features, but have a support cycle lasting only 9 months. The LTS versions are the most popular choice for server work and institutional use, since the five-year support cycle means not having to worry about upgrading the OS for up to half a decade. Right now the two supported LTS versions are 12.04 and 14.04, and you'll find those deployed about equally on most hosting services that use Ubuntu (including Dreamhost and others; Google uses Ubuntu internally, I believe currently based on 12.04, and FWIW Ubuntu has become the most popular choice with Amazon and Microsoft Azure platforms). For new servers I recommend the latest LTS, which is 14.04. I not only use it on both of my VPSes, but also my laptop as well. Rock solid, efficient - an excellent build.

Re: OT: Need help with Indiegogo, Twitter, Facebook etc.
Hi Rick If you are new to social media, I would suggest choosing a platform and getting use to it and then looking at the others. Personally I would start with Facebook,and setting up a fan page and maybe Twitter, and take it from there. Facebook has by far the biggest audience. I would not suggest buying likes, tweet or any type of followers. It's pretty much a waste of money. That said, I would suggest having a website (even if its a free blog, but get a domain name) and channeling people there and collecting email addresses but as you already have the campaign running - its probably not feasible. Advertising on Facebook can be very cost effective, so long as you pay attention to conversion rates. It's pretty easy to run yourself aswell and you can channel people to directly to your indigogo campaign. I would start off reaching out to family and friends and asking them to share your page / campaign. As it takes a bit of time to grow ones following, you may have to look at spending a bit on advertising. You shouldn't need any software to start off with, though you could look at Hootsuite and Buffer is also a good alternative. I think what contributed the most to the success of the RunRev's success with their campaigns is that they already had a large base of interested and engaged customers that they could leverage (especially for the 2nd campaign where they ran it themselves. The first campaign also got quiet a bit of coverage on a variety of sites (if I remember correctly), which always helps. If you want to market yourself, or pretty much anything, then the more people you are connected with the better :). If you are planning on future campaigns etc, then I would suggest keeping your accounts going and work on growing your followers. http://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/ is a great website for getting the most of social media.

Re: cron jobs and LC server
Hi It should be possible to that, my concern would be that for the LC script to create remove the cron scripts, it would need sufficiant privlages to do so, which is not great for security. Although there a few ways around this, it can be more trouble than its worth. It would also depend on how everything is being hosted. e.g. on shared hosting, this probably would not be possible. I would just set the cron script and leave it to every 5 minutes - it will make your life much simpler. If there is no data to process, then the script can exit and do nothing etc. Its affect on server load will be negligible.

Re: Sending bulk emails
Its best not to send bulk email via a web server. Mail servers will start marking emails as spam as soon as the see a number of incoming messages from a single location. Depending on what you are sending there are a number of newsletter or transactional mail providers - mail chimp / mandrill.com, critsend.com, mailgun.com - there a number you can use (just check google). Your best bet is take a look at a couple of them and see what offers the best pricing and intergration methods. Also sending the email as though its coming from the clients domain is probably going to increase the chances it is seen as spam. Increasingly more and more mail providers are also checking spf records etc and if these are not setup correctly, your chances of being seen as spam are increased. Best to send from a single email address and ensure everything is setup correctly and to ask clients to whitelist that address.

Re: Update of old apps
What Mark said is spot on. Personally I don't like working on something that is out of date / legacy code and would quote the client on everything that would need to be done. If the client can't afford the costs of redeveloping and it's possible to work on the existing application while still being profitable, I would do the updates, while at the same time stressing that if they are wanting to do future updates they will have to strongly consider all your suggested updated. If on the other hand if you would have no choice but to redevelop, being open with clients and explaining all the associated costs and the benefits of redevelopment costs usually works wonders. If the client refuses to accept the costs, I would probably turn down the job (unless of course there was a good reason to keep the client happy). The stress of having to work under such circumstances is never worth it, especially if the clients derives all the benifits and you get little in return.

The answer may differ depending from contracting projects to products/services one sells broadly to more than one end user. If this is a contract situation, I would contact the companies you work with and actively offer upgrades to their software. I would know everything possible about their industry and provide strong points that would interest them in hiring you to update their software package. You might even look into a yearly support option for clients that use your software in mission critical environments. Casual users of your software will not desire this though. If a client calls and requests something new, I would call that a billable item. If they find a bug in your software you have the option to generate good will and fix it for free or offer them a reasonable rate to fix the issue if you think it warrants charging. I don’t there there are hard rules here. You have to gauge each situation individually. Considering the long term value of your decision is helpful in determining whether to charge or not. I hope this helps a bit with your decision.

Re: LiveCode Server: start session problem
Hi John Might be easier for to email the script to me and I can take a look. What you can try though is: Ensure that start session is at the very top of your script (e.g. line 1 ) and that you also have end session at the very end of the script. If you output anything before calling start session - thats probably whats causing the problem. Kind Regards Simon On Thu, Jun 26, 2014 at 1:40 PM, John Craig j...@splash21.com wrote: Hi, Simon.

Simple benchmark of LiveCode vs PHP
I have not seen any benchmarks comparing LiveCode server to other web
server languages so gave it a bash comparing it to PHP. I chose PHP as its
what I work with on a daily basis and the most popular of the server side
languages.
I probably should have used more complicated scripts aswell, which I will
probably do in the future. The web server was an entry level 512mb virtual
server from Digital Ocean. I am also a continent away from the server - so
my latency is pretty high.
I used the Apache ab program to run the tests.
As expected PHP yielded better results, but only by fractions of a second.
It is also running via an Apache process which is faster than CGI. This was
also run on a $5 a month VPS that is probably not very well suited for the
likes of Apache or testing load on.
While this is by no means a definitive benchmark and open for
interpretation, I think it does show that LiveCode delivers pretty great
performance as it is only slightly slower than PHP. I think it also shows
that LiveCode is a great option when approaching web projects - especially
if it lets you get the job done faster.
For the benchmark test, I used 2 simple loops:
LiveCode Server:
?lc
put 0 into myVar
repeat for 100 times
add 1 to myVar
put myVar
end repeat
?
PHP:
?php
$myVar=0;
while($myVar 100) {
$myVar ++;
echo $myVar;
}
?
My latency to the server is about 234ms.

But, I can see the former in my future. There are so many useful and interesting things to do with LiveCode Server, and even standalones on servers, it's almost overwhelming. These days a majority of the work I do is making client-server apps where LiveCode runs both sides. I currently have only one site where LC is used to generate output for the Web - everything else is either APIs for other services, or the backend for LC-based clients used in workgroup settings. Given the wide range of ways LC is useful on servers, with all due respect to the ambitions of those interested in writing a book on it, it would be a big one. Last month I outlined my plans for the LiveCode Server Center, in the works for LiveCode Journal now that I finally put a CMS in place there (and of course the CMS is made with LiveCode, all the way down to the data store): http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-livecode/2014-May/201516.html As I wrote then, I don't mean to discourage anyone from writing a book, and indeed there is likely a good audience for it. But given the scope of what LC Server can do, and the many other aspects that come into play with using it well (the critical role of performance in the inherently-short CGI runtime lifecycle, how mod_rewrite works, SSH keys, bash, rsync, custom servers like looping CLI daemons and simpler GUI apps, REST API design, and more), it would be nice if there were also a community-driven effort to provide as much material as we can in a format that's as free and open as LiveCode itself. That said, books also play a useful role in evangelizing LiveCode as a platform, esp. when they come from established publishers. A good publisher can do wonders for reinforcing a strong image of LiveCode and its ever-expanding third-party ecosystem. I have some contacts at publishers and would be happy to provide introductions if useful. And the upside for book publishing is that with RunRev's newsletters having displaced much of the energy that used to go into LiveCode Journal, at this point LCJ is mostly a one-man show. Being heavily booked with client commitments, devoting time to fleshing out what can go there has been challenging, and somewhat slow. Still, I felt obliged to note what's coming with the LiveCode Server Center at LCJ (hopefully sooner than later), and to extend an invitation for anyone interested in sharing free learning materials to consider LiveCodeJournal.com as an available venue for community resources, not only for LiveCode Server but anything else you feel would be of interest to the community.

Re: Learning about server
Hi William It will live quiet happily with php and mysql and should not cause any problems. I remember reading (think it was a forum post Richard commented on) where there was a question re: cgi vs fast cgi (with fast cgi there is only a single process so it speeds up execution) He mentioned the disadvantages of running Fast CGI - if there is a problem and the process gets blocked, it can kill it for everything on the server, where the LiveCode CGI is pretty small and executes very quickly and should handle a relatively large load. I am not certain if there are plans to port LiveCode Server to fast cgi. I have not come across any benchmarks comparing LCServer to the likes of php - that would be an interesting experiment to see what the capabilities of it is. Something I want to look at (not had a chance yet) is to setup a vps running the hiawatha webserver (hiawatha-webserver.org). It is smaller than apache and should run faster as its designed for older servers. That combined with something like maria db instead of mysql should let you get quiet a bit out of a small server. Kind regards Simon On Tue, Jun 10, 2014 at 11:21 PM, William Prothero proth...@earthednet.org wrote: Simon: Re the server installation, one thing that worries me is the server load. As a cgi, the livecode app needs to be loaded for every call, AFAIK, and would demand a lot from the server. It seemed that the installation where it is integrated into the Apache configuration would be best, but I was worried that I would screw up the other configuration items. like the php and sql configuration directives. So, I installed it, for test purposes, as a cgi. This issue should be addressed in installation tutorials. FYI, I have a VPS hosted by liquidweb, which has fantastic customer support and reliability.

Re: Learning about server
Thanks Kay :) I would love to look at the security side of things sometime - it seems to be something a lot of developers take less seriously now days. One of the things I like about LiveCode is how easy it makes it to work with encryption. LiveCode has added support for Open SSL encryption support for iOS and Android - so that would be the place to start.

Re: Livecode Server Sessions
Hi Igor Sessions on LiveCode are pretty easy to use and work in a similar fashion to other languages like php. You just need to ensure that you use the stop session command aswell somewhere in the scripts., as that is when everything gets written to the session variable. e.g. Script 1: ?lc start session put test into $_SESSION[myVar] put quote $_SESSION[myVar] quote saved to session variable stop session ? Script 2 can now access the saved session variable: ?lc start session put quote $_SESSION[myVar] quote read from session variable stop session ? There are a couple of other commands for sessions that add some more flexibility that you should be able to find in the dictionary. - delete session - sessionCookieName - sessionID - sessionLivetime - sessionName - sessionSavePath Hope this helps.

Re: Livecode Server Sessions
Hi Sessions are saved to the default temporary folder, although you can control where sessions are saved using the sessionSavePath command. As they are saved server side, there should not be much of a concern about how much data can be stored (no idea to be honest) but you can always link the session to a database or create your files / storage structure as needed. You can set the length of storage time with sessionLivetime. Security wise I have not seen any problems or concerns raised, although if you are concerned, you could just use cookies and build your system to track users.

Re: Measuring CGI resource usage
Hi Richard Not sure if this would work - creating a daemon from a shell script and using the ps (or top) command to monitor and output everything for the livecode cgi process to text file, that you can then examine. - Simon On Wed, May 14, 2014 at 5:54 PM, Richard Gaskin ambassa...@fourthworld.comwrote: CGI is an uncommonly harsh environment, with the entire runtime life cycle happening in the time it takes to satisfy an HTTP request. So I tend to take great care in measuring both CPU time and memory with CGI scripts, but I've found it difficult to get accurate measurements in the server environment. One commonly-recommended method is to use the time program, with the --verbose option to include memory: /usr/bin/time --verbose ./livecode-server somescriptfile.lc It seems on many systems that time program is implemented in an incomplete way, showing artificially low values for memory usage. top might seem a good option, but in practice it's useless since even its tightest update frequency is less than the execution time of my scripts.

Hi A number of payment gateways let you do subscriptions (e.g. paypal), if the periodic payment is unsuccessful (e.g. credit card expires) it will send a notification to your server, so that you can process and stop the subscription.

The main page contains a refresh tag that loads the script that starts the

?php
