MySQL Client on

[Todd Fabacher via use-livecode]

I am using revOpenDatabase with the "MySQL" parameter on LiveCode server.

I am getting an error:

*Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server;
consider upgrading MySQL client*

What can I do?? I am in a real hole as the version of mySQL was updated to
the latest version 8.0 and now LiveCode server is NOT working???


Please advise,

Todd Fabacher

PS I never got LC server to open a Postgres Database. I need some help here.

Re: use-livecode Digest, Vol 203, Issue 17

[Todd Fabacher via use-livecode]

Thanks  Matthias Rebbe for the reply

Did you already try to remove the https://  from tDatabaseAddress?
I am not used with Postgres, but this https would definitely not work when
connecting to MySQL.

When I took it out the https:, I got this error:

*could not connect to server: No such file or directory*

* Is the server running locally and accepting*

* connections on Unix domain socket
"//xxe-0.a.db.ondigitalocean.com/.s.PGSQL.25060
"?*


MY error is the port number...there should be no issue with the port
nu,ber. it works everywhere except LiveCode.

invalid port number: "//-0.a.db.ondigitalocean.com:25060"

Postgres Connection Issue

[Todd Fabacher via use-livecode]

ocal tDatabaseAddress = "https://x-0.a.db.ondigitalocean.com::25060;

put revOpenDatabase("postgresql", tDatabaseAddress, "admin", tDatabaseUser,
tDatabasePassword, "sslmode=require") into tConnectionID

Error Message
invalid port number: "//x-0.a.db.ondigitalocean.com::25060"

What am I doing wrong? I know the port number is correct as I am connecting
with NodeJS and two PGAdmin IDEs. I know the default port is 5432 for
Postgres, but for security reasons, we changed it.

I would appreciate any help.

LiveCode Server

[Todd Fabacher via use-livecode]

Hello all,

We are running LC Server Scripts to process some DB request and we
want to do basic validation by passing a token from the App to the
server script.

The problem is I can not find where I can get the headers on the
server. I looked in $_SERVER, but not there. I see the CONTENT_TYPE
and HTTP ACCEPTS which I set in my header, but I can's find anything
else from the header that was posted.

Does anyone know how to read an "Authorization: Bearer" header in
LiveCode Script on the server?? Thanks for the help.

Re: use-livecode Digest, Vol 183, Issue 35

[Todd Fabacher via use-livecode]

Thanks for the email Tom. Unfortunately NOT. We got the WebSocket working
in the browser with Javascript, but the app dies after 20 mins  in iOS [<10
mins on Android] of play because it is calling a LiveCode function from
Javascript. Or workaround was to create an Angular site [
https://play.triviamatic.com/] and just have the users play in a web
browser, but this is NOT a solution. we have also loaded the browser in our
app for now, BUT I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT THE WORKAROUND.

So unfortunately since we can't find a workaround and nobody from LC
responded, we have to assume it is not possible. So we have started to
switch to Flutter and have to postpone our launch by four weeks. I told my
team that if the users can't play the game effectively, then what is the
use of having an app, so they suggested switching.

BTW...Check out the website and let me know what you think:
https://triviamatic.com Because it reads from the games from the database,
we ended up coding everything in HTML and EJS on a Node server. We are in
the process of making our own trivia store:
https://triviamatic.com/trivia-games.

Websockets Problem on LiveCode

[Todd Fabacher via use-livecode]

This is a 911 call for HELP from anyone.

We are using a Socket IO server. We tried using the web browser to
send websockets messages...no problems.

but when we listen and receive the websocket message, that is where the
problem is created. If we don't call LiveCode from the web browser, we
don't have any issues.

But as soon as the browser calls a LiveCode function from Javascript the
app is crashing in both iOS and Android. Sometime after 10 mins, sometimes
after 20 mins - but it never makes it over an hour.

I assume that it is a memory leaking error. Has anyone had this problem of
calling LiveCode function from a JavaScript function in the browser?? This
is a HUGE problem for us as the app cannot be shipped.

Charles, you said you had a solution, but we could not get it to work.
Maybe we were doing something wrong and you could point us in the right
direction.

Thanks for any help,

Todd

Re: LiveCode and Websockets

[Todd Fabacher via use-livecode]

Thanks Charles for the reply. Hope all is going well with you. Where can I
test the WebSocket external? I will need it for iOS, Android, Mac, and
Windows. Can you email me directly as we are time sensitive on this please.

We have the server up and running. Socket.io is the BEST in the market and
can deal with 10,000+ simultaneous connections with Node.js as the server.

Also, thanks, Tom. I looked at this and what it does is create a bridge
between LC and a web browser JavaScript that you add to the form. This is a
GREAT workaround if we can find our own controller. I see they need some
more Javascript code to manage all the different callback and error
trapping functionality, but it is a workable solution we also had
considered. It is NOT as flexible as an external, but we will improve it to
make it work to keep it as a backup.

Thanks guys,

Todd Fabacher

LiveCode and Websockets

[Todd Fabacher via use-livecode]

We have hot a wall because we have an API that is ONLY accessible via a
call to Socket.io server using Websockets.

Richard Gaskin, I remember you were looking into this last year, any
success from your research.

It seems the best way would be to open a web browser and code the
communications using Javascript, which would then all a LiveCode function
on the callback.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!!

Much Thanks,

Re: use password protected scripts on LC web server

[Todd Fabacher via use-livecode]

I got the LC Indy web server installed and it can connect to the DB and
return JSON.

But as soon as I reference a password protected script file, it gave me an
error.



This is the error I am getting:

REVO7000

file "/var/www/html/model.lc"
file "/var/www/html/xps_sync_delete.lc"
file "/var/www/html/xps_sync.livecode"
  row 7, col 6: Function: error in function handler (DoesItWork)
  row 7, col 6: put: error in expression


Here is the simple password protected function:

function DoesItWork

   return "It Works"

end DoesItWork

Using stackoverflow.com

[Todd Fabacher via use-livecode]

Just curious...Why are these questions NOT being put on stackoverflow.com?
This is now people, companies, and publications rank languages these days.

I think I have seen a post on people asking before, but it seems
self-defeating to keep these post in the format. The new kids on the block
and the old times do not benefit because they are not indexed by Google
properly.

Also, we have two clients who select NOT to have us use LiveCode this
month. Something needs to change here. I am a strong believer that the
community needs to step forward and do something. The two reasons they want
a different environment were:

1. Not sufficient 3rd party tools with a viable marketplace [also little on
Git]. If we have all these old LC scripts and they are open source, why
don't we just put them on git???

and

2. small community on StackOverflow.


And please someone work on the www.slant.co. Here it is if you are
unaware:  https://medium.com/building-slant/what-is-slant-5a836b200c0
People really read this stuff and I can't get clients to use livecode. It's
a real problem that needs to be addressed. I try not to complain and I
think the community needs to step forward.

https://www.slant.co/versus/119/124/~livecode_vs_scratch
https://www.slant.co/versus/119/125/~livecode_vs_php
https://www.slant.co/versus/119/126/~livecode_vs_golang
https://www.slant.co/versus/119/381/~livecode_vs_haxe


We all suffer as a community when we can not get companies who would commit
resources and new young blood. Don't just want to complain. I am happy to
put some resources into widgets. We have been working on a few.

Re: WooCommerce API Manager & Livecode

[Todd Fabacher via use-livecode]

Hello Peter,

Yes, Digital Pomegranate created an interfaced with WooCommerce several
times via the WP RestAPI.

Here is the documentation:
https://woocommerce.github.io/woocommerce-rest-api-docs/

You can get the LiveCode-WP RestAPI script here:
https://github.com/digitalpomegranate/livecode-wp-restapi

Just be aware you are going to need a WP OAuth plugin to connect. Before
Woo had their own API, but they now fully support the standard API.

Email if you have any questions. I am traveling this week, so give me a day
or two to respond.

WordPress REST API's

[Todd Fabacher via use-livecode]

> kinda passed that on.


Yes, sorry I was a speaking at a conference. Hi Steve, I am happy to help.
There are several ways to connect to the WP REST API. UN/PW is one and
OAuth is another. You will need to add a plugin to WP to use the OAuth. I
will ask the team and get that for you.


>From version 4.7, the REST API ver2.0 is supported inside WP. You will need
to activate and allow it. I suggest checking the documentation first:
https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/

What you can also do is use postman to validate that everything is working
and your server is good to go. This way you can know if it is a server
issue or the connection issue from LC.

Our code supports ver 2.0 so it should not be an issue, and we have sites
that use it. Honestly, we switched to (Node.JS + Anguar) for most web
development, so we will not be using WP going forward, but we are happy to
help. You can email me directly tfabac...@gmail.com and I will try to help
you.

Digital Pomegranate

[Todd Fabacher via use-livecode]

There are few moments in life that are more important than business and
coding, this is one of them. All of Digital Pomegranate is our on the
street rejecting the former president who had grabbed power after his term
limits and has become a dictator in the former Soviet country. As you would
expect, lots of arrests and the hospitals are full. Let's just hope they
don't start shooting as have threatened to do.

This has been going on for 10 days now and will continue. It is now
starting to hit the nightly news cycle, so you will see it in the next few
days. The internet has been on and off and now the entire company is on the
streets asking for a free election and better government, so we will not be
providing support for our new widgets for a few days.

Thanks Matthias for the reply

We figured it out. When you do a Post to LiveCode Server, you MUST call $_POST
or $_POST_RAW. If you do NOT then the server script will NOT process and
returns an error. We just put the file up there is see if we could get a
return. But when posting...you MUST make one of the two calls.

Thanks also to Elanor for the help,

Intel CPU for Android Devices

[Todd Fabacher via use-livecode]

I am running into a problem where the Android device uses Intel CPU and NOT
Arm. It does not rum from the store on the device. Has anyone installed and
run a LiveCode Android App on an Intel device.

I have an 11am meeting on Monday, so any answer on the holiday weekend
would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Todd

TSNet updated to include PUT and PATCH

[Todd Fabacher via use-livecode]

Hello Charles and LC community,

As we start to use more JSON databases and REST APIs, we are going to need
to get HTTPS PATCH. This is a commonly used function used by many REST
services.

We are currently doing Google Firebase for LiveCode and they make extensive
use of PATCH. We can get by with just POST, but we would prefer if we could
get PUT and PATCH on mobile.

Is there any plan at all on the roadmap??

LiveCode currently has no access to.We will try but all platforms may come
after we have completed the mobile and worked out the bugs for LCB.

it to get new members and keep existing community members.

BTW HH, thanks for the LBC property sample app you did, it was helpful.

LiveCode Widget Factory

[Todd Fabacher via use-livecode]

Hello LiveCoders,

I hope all is going well. As Kevin announced before...Gurgen, myself, the
DP team and the FANTASTIC  LiveCode team [providing wonderful support] are
working on creating LCB widgets that will catapult the LC platform and
improve productivity.

I have been in touch with a few people to get their ideas and needs, but I
wanted to reach out and check with the community. At first, we have decided
to focus these for round one:

Basic Native UI elements
Native Maps
Voice to Text
Bluetooth Device Connection
Beacons
Security/Fingerprint
Playing sound/music in the background when the phone sleeps like Spotify or
iTunes.

For Phase Two we are looking at...
BarCode Scanner & Maker
Charts
iCal like Calendar [Day, Week, Month, Year]
Clipboard for mobile

We are mostly looking at creating many UI elements and functionality that
is native and not accessible now and other widgets that will save days of
coding by grouping functionality into one simple widget [with the difficult
code encapsulated].

A few of the controls will be open sourced but the vast majority will be
for sale at a reasonable price. Sorry, Gurgen and Team don't work for free
and my landlord does not have an open source building, so please save the
digital trees with replies of why we should be open source.

We are excited and will be working VERY hard. Good News, DP was VERY
successful at the Seaside Summit in UEA. We also have two LiveCode based
startups selected to be profiled at Collision Conference
https://collisionconf.com in April. One App is coded for Android, iOS,
Windows, MacOS, LINUX local Server & TV HDMI output and a big LiveCode
Server implementation for the cloud. It uses TCP, UDP, HTTPS, and SFTP
protocols. Extensive encryption and a distributed network that will have
200,000 simultaneous global users. WOW...all of this with one code base -
that is the power of LiveCode.

Android Install with LiveCode

Hello All,

Currently, Google supports 50MB in the App install. There is a way to
reference another 200MB is a separate file in native Java Apps. Is that
possible in LiveCode??

Now iOS support 100MB+ with LiveCode, but Android still seems to be limited
to 50MB.

Re: RESTful PUT error

[Todd Fabacher via use-livecode]

What are you setting your headers to??  Are you sending JSON or posting a
form??

This is to send a form and get back JSON. You may also want XML or TEXT

FYI, most RestAPI use POST.


*--Build the REST API Header*

*set* the httpHeaders to empty

*put* "Accept: application/json" & CR after tHeaders

*put* "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded"  & CR after tHeaders

*set* the httpHeaders to tHeaders


People forget to set this in LiveCode, It makes a big difference.

Re: Beacons and Bluetooth

[Todd Fabacher via use-livecode]

Hello Lagi,

I replied to the forum post. We tried but not much luck. With the new LCB,
we could talk about something for now. Beacons are a bit different than
most Bluetooth devices. They will require wrapping and SDK.

I am open to figuring out how we can get this done as an LC Widget Lib and
get it out to other developers.

We are wrapping the Android Finger Print Touch ID as a test. Let's see how
it goes.

Native Fingerprint check for Android

[Todd Fabacher via use-livecode]

Hello All,

We are trying to create an LCB lib to check the fingerprints using the
native API calls. But we are getting permission problems. Here is the forum
post:

https://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=93=29800

The fingerprint API is level 23 of the Android SDK from version 6.0. We
need to confirm that the LCB is supporting calls from this version. Also,
what do we need to do to make sure that we can set *metadata
android.permissions is "USE_FINGERPRINT"*?? The error is android saying
there is no permission required. And also the app crashes when I'm calling
isHardwareDetected() method.

Your help is MUCH appreciated.  Please let us know.

Re: use-livecode Digest, Vol 168, Issue 5

[Todd Fabacher via use-livecode]

Thanks...Andy, Alex & Mark!!

I think we can find a solution. *Richard*, this sounds like the perfect
open source community project. What do you think?? We can host the stuff on
GitHub, but create an interface within the IDE with an online DB that can
be queried. we could slap a simple RestAPI on it and people could query it
to get helpful code snippets and usage examples and complete App examples.

Digital Pomegranate could host the DB, or better would be LC. They have to
just drop a MariaDB or Postgre SQL [sice mySQL is not an open source
favorite anymore] and we can create a simple API to post or pull from it.


What do you think??? That is another thing off the core coder's plate so
they can focus. We coul deven to the RestAPI in LC script as an example of
how to setup an API using LC on the server??? - Nice!!

Using Touch ID with Keychain and LocalAuthentication

[Todd Fabacher via use-livecode]

Hello Mark or Monte or any knowledgeable soul,


We are working with the United Nations to create their first LMS mobile
App. The problem is they are security freaks. It took their hackers about 4
hours to send me screen shots of the encryption key I scripted in LiveCode
and compiled for iOS. Normally we don't put code like this in our apps, but
they are insisting to use the LocalAuthentication with the TouchID to
unlock the App.

LocalAuthentication, does not actually store any values, it just validates
that the fingerprint matches. The MergeExt mergLA
http://mergext.com/home/mergla/ does the trick - well done.

The problem is how do I store a unique key to retrieve the UN/PW on the
server or even just store the values on the local device? I can use
encryption, they can read the key from code and have said it is NOT an
option. So, my good friends at the UN have suggested that I use the iOS
Keychain functionality.

They have provided a sample of what Apple is doing and suggest that
LiveCode be able to do the same. Is there any way to utilize the Keychain
functionality on the device?

WDC session video and presentation: You will need Safri to watch the video:
https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2014/711/

Here is their Code:
https://developer.apple.com/library/content/samplecode/KeychainTouchID/Introduction/Intro.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40014530-Intro-DontLinkElementID_2

So my goal is to store a token or UN/PW in the iOS Keychain to pull it out
using LocalAuthentication. I think many of LC app developers must be facing
the same problem.

IntelliSense - Intelligent code completion for LiveCode

[Todd Fabacher via use-livecode]

One of the single largest problems we face is resistance to LiveCode in the
corporate is developers. One, they are not eager to learn a new language.
But once I show them LiveCode, they see the simple ease and simplicity and
become open to the prospect. I even explain it as a way of prototyping
their logic in an English format.

But once they start coding, they outright reject it because of the complete
lack of IntelliSense. These people will NOT BUDGE. There is no way we are
going to convince them that they will have to remember the properties and
function names.

I saw in Kevin's demo of the latest version which showed that there was
FINALLY a list of events to choose from. This should have been there years
ago. You just need to look at LiveCode's competition to see progress. Xojo
is one example. We needed to create a RasPi app as a test, so we purchased
a license, and it's IDE was quite good. MUCH better than LiveCode. We also
use Visual Studio, which has fantastic IntelliSense.

Here is what they are looking for:

1. Function completion. As you type it starts to match a function name, all
the functions so up in a list to choose from as I type.

2. Function parameters. once I type a function, I can mouse over it and all
the parameters and a quick explanation show up.

3. I understand that properties are going to be a problem because LiveCode
is NOT in an algebraic format like Object.Property = value. So setting the
properties first is an issue. How about we put in a placeholder like:

set the ? from field "test"
set the ? from widget "map"

Then...as soon as I put in the object type or object name for a widget, I
would get a pop-up with a list of properties to select from.


These functionalities may not be easy, but should not be difficult. Maybe
an IntelliSense extension, done by the community can be done? It is a major
barrier to entry for experienced developers to switch to. This is the #1
reason we can not get coders in companies to agree to LiveCode. #2 was Git,
but that seems to be solved with community involvement from Trevor.

Just an idea,

Todd Fabacher

Hello Livecode group,

I have a situation where we need a slider, not a straight line, but as a
circle. I thing Scott Rossi did a demo of this at San Diego LC conference,
but I can't find the code samples to check. I just need to restrict the
movement to a circle when the user moves their finger. Maybe there is some
kind of dial example somewhere???

All I am looking to do is move the slider in the semi-circle to move the
value forward or backwards.

Re: D3 LiveCode Chart Examples

[Todd Fabacher via use-livecode]

Hello LiveCoders,

This was our prototype for charting, but unfortunately we have become so
consumed with projects that we can not focus on this right now. We also
coded the D3.js scripts so that we could use it in React.

Just an FYI, some of the projects we have been working on in
LiveCode...Royalty Payment system for the largest music company in the
world, a live video medial app that connects patient and doctor for the
largest network in the world [with live bluetooth stats fed from medical
devices], interactive & live video kiosk for 5000 retail outlets for the
largest PC manufacturer. Plus connecting with WP to create a great solution
in the Business LMS and Tourism Industries. The LMS and tourism app are
mainly WordPress, but we are using our WP API in LiveCode to create
incredible mobile solutions.

We are also launching our our product this week: TriviaMatic  [
www.TriviaMatic.com we are still working on the web site sorry] We were
selected to be in the NEW and HOTEST product section in the Nightclub and
Bar show. There are 36,000 people attending and this will be our first
large App we did in LiveCode that should have over 500,000 users.

The bars pay a monthly fee of $199 + $499 setup fee  [or the suppliers pay
so the can show Ads to promote their product], and the trivia also appears
on a  TV [controlled by Rasberry Pi - $499 is nice markup on the device].
We also did a full interactive digital restaurant menu in the App and on
the TV. Our goal is 1000 bars in the first 2 years - you do the math :-) !!
Our next market after the US/Canada is Brazil...then on to Europe.

The big kicker for the LiveCode community is our online/offline datasync.
Your apps will be able to keep 5000+ users all in sync with just 3 lines of
LiveCode in your App, which we hope will be tested and finished this
quarter. We are doing the server in Google's GoLang and can be dropped on a
LC server with no server experience at all. This is already in the market
and use in CAT manufacturing plants and our in the field where they are
used. Thanks Monte for the barcode scanning external - it was a life saver
last month!!

We will also be releasing a D3 interactive World Map in your App. This is
for the music company...and they LOVE our solution. We just need to test
and debug before putting it out and get their OK. Credit goes to Gurgen and
the LiveCode team @ DP - they are becoming very creative in pushing the
boundaries and getting exceptional UI/UX our of LC on mobile.

Hello Richard...Here is the D3.js copyright, so I assume I will go with
what they do:
https://github.com/d3/d3/blob/master/LICENSE

Hi Mark..Gurgen, who you met at the LiveCode conference did the D3 code. I
actually have not been involved much, so he should get the credit for his
hard work.

Sure Trevor. Thank you for being the inspiration for us to move almost 100%
to script ONLY code. We will use .livecodescript. We do even use pre
built UI card anymore. Everything is all dynamically built now. We have not
moved to widgets just yet, but we hope soon.

Re: JavaScript + LC HTML5 = LiveCode.js

[Todd Fabacher]

Hello Roger, you need to remember almost 50% of web users are on a
non-desktop OS, and almost none of them support plugins like you are
describing. LC HTML5 is what it is...It is an App running in an HTML5
canvas. We will be limited that those restrictions. But I understand where
you are coming from.

What I would like to focus on is what are the current possibilities that we
can capitalize on with the JavaScript integration - NOW. I need a
functioning HTML5 data entry clint for several Apps we are developing.

Mark, One question I had that was NOT answered is..Can a JavaScript
function call a LiveCode function? I know this was added in the LC8 browser.

How do we get started and have the community involved? We can do it and
give it to everyone like we have been doing, but I would like to see if we
can get several people involved who are passionate about making LC HTML5
easier and  more successful. We code just want to do it our way, but the
middle ground so more people will use it, and improve it. Richard, Any
ideas?

JavaScript + LC HTML5 = LiveCode.js

[Todd Fabacher]

Hello LiveCode community,

At Digital Pomegranate we are very excited about the update to LiveCode
HTML5. We already have several projects that we plan on using the platform
for. Since our LiveCode team has only a little experience in JavaScript, we
are thinking of creating a LiveCode.js. This will be both a LC substack
that wraps a Javascript function library which would be in a file named
LiveCode.js.

Our thinking is it would have 5+ core functionalities that woul dbe shared
by most HTML5 apps.  I think this would be a great community project and
help people who may not be so familiar with Javascript and can stay focused
on LiceCode.

Communications
tsNet has given LiveCode async server communications, the good news is
Javascript has had this functionality for quite some time. We would need a
simple wrapper of the XMLHttpRequest functionality in LiveCode.js, so it
seems seamless in Livecode.

I know LC can call the browser's javascript, but can the JS do a callback
to LiveCode? It would be great if we could do sockets in JS and create a
two way communications system.

RestAPI services
I have seen recent notes about using revIgniter as a REST server, and there
are many other options available. We use mostly WP and the WP RestAPI.

Remote Storage
Mark's LiveCloud is a great option and there are several different options.
As I said, we mostly use WP, but we also use Node.js w/ mongodb. The
LiveCode.js  will just need a simple way of taking XML. JSON or an encoded
array and sending it to the remote storage of choice and returning the
values.

Local Storage
The ability to create and use a local DB within the local browser. My
understanding is that LC HTML5 will not because to utilize the database
library, so we will have to use Javascript localStorage. We just need to
create a controller that will connect LC to create, read and write to the
local DB. Javascript even has a way to store the DB and can be accessed for
the next session.

http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_webstorage.asp

File Picker & Uploaded
Not use how to do this in HTML5, but we will need a way to select a file
and upload it to a server. We could use an HTML+JS dialog box to do it.

Best,

Todd

FULL MailChimp & FREE PushNotifications from Digital Pomegranate

[Todd Fabacher]

Good News LiveCode Community...

Open Source
We have wrapped the FULL MailChimp and Mandrill API library in LiveCode. It
is over 6,000 lines of code between the two, but we are happy to release
them to the community. We are looking for testers before we release them to
the public. So if you have a desire to help us test, please email me.

We also need Push Notifications for a few of our new Apps. We were going to
create our own server, but we found One Signal [ www.onesignal.com ] - FREE
Push Notifications Server.

Has anyone used One Signal before? We will start to wrap this API in the
coming weeks. If you have interest in Push Notification and want work with
us, please let me know. Karlan, one of the DP coders who has moved from C#
to LiveCode programing, is taking on the project!

DOCS
https://documentation.onesignal.com/docs

SERVER REST API
https://documentation.onesignal.com/reference#create-notification


WP REST API & App Analytics
We will be converting the code to the new background internet posting from
tsNet to speed up the usage of the libraries. So new version soon.
Remember, you can never get VC money without proper App Analytics.



Non-Open Source Projects

One line of code to revolutionize your DB Cloud
On the non-open source side. We have just about completed a data sync tool
that will sync your cloud based DB [SQLite, mySQL, msSQL, Oracle] with a
local SQLite DB. Imagine, once you setup the tables on the server. It is
just one line of code to keep all your clients data synced between
thousands of devices. If you are interested, let me knowWe are testing
soon.

Simple Report Maker
If you are also looking for a simple reporting solution with over 25 chart
types and full "reporting" output functionality, we will be testing by the
end  of November. The cool option is we have a web service that will
convert the report to a PDF and send/email to whomever. All done with very
little coding.

We are busy bees making honey!!

Best,

Todd & the DP Team

Re: [OT] Website Design Apps-Mac

[Todd Fabacher]

I can tell you #1 way to protect your site, is to change the wp-admin to
something else. it cut our attacks by 99%.

I plan on going over WP for the second webinar on WP REST API. Richard is
correct, WP is only as good as your setup.

But WP with the LiveCode WP REST API is a great solution. Take a look.

Subject: Re: LiveCode interface to SCORM /LTI

[Todd Fabacher]

Hello Martin and Bill and other educators,

Actually we have been diligent little elves working away since the hangout
meeting.  Based on research, we have decided to focus on 2 interchange
formats: LTI and xAPI [from TinCan and SCORM].

We would like in the near future to have another online meetup where we can
share our findings and hopefully create a path where everyone can work
together to get to our destination quicker. There was a desire to see this
move forward at the meeting, but most had limited resources to commit.

So, Digital Pomegranate will supply the resources, time and money to script
a LiveCode Import/Export interface to LTI and xAPI based Apps. Richard
suggested the MIT Open Source license model as the best option for the
community and we all fully agreed.  We are currently learning all we can
about the formats, the best way to organize them in LiveCode and how to
translate the API calls to an easy LiveCode syntax. Since we are not
experts and in actuality know little of these APIs, we need 2-3 weeks to
begin to create the middleware.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Also, if ANYONE has a system
which we can run query test on that would help us out greatly.


--Todd, William and the Digital Pomegranate Team

LiveCode interface to SCORM /LIT

[Todd Fabacher]

Hello Educators,

Will Jamieson, and the DP teem are deep into creating an online and App
integrated LMS in LiveCode. We are at the stage of creating  a SCORM and
LIT interface to our App. I see that several people have posted on the
subject and was wondering if anyone has finished, made any progress or have
suggestions that would help us out.

We would appreciate any help in getting in using LiveCode with SCORM /LIT.
One potential client is focused on full LIT compatibility. We of course
will make the SCORM /LIT code Open Source for all educators.

Thanks,

Draft LiveCode Conference App for 2016, but we have a bug

[Todd Fabacher]

At Digital Pomegranate, our team members wanted to do a simple App for the
upcoming LiveCode conference and us it as a form of training. But we also
came up with a simple, but great business plan to create a profitable
business given the number of conferences that happen today, We found a few
existing solution, but none automated ALL the functionality needed: web,
admin, registration, speaker management and an App for Attendees.

This is the topic of my talk at the LiveCode Conference. The junior
programmers have come up with their first draft and you are free to check
out the code on git hub:
https://github.com/digitalpomegranate/LiveCodeConference2016  It is done in
LC8 and uses widgets, so you will need that version.

Butwe have a potential bugs

1. it seems we were having trouble getting the mergJSON to work on Android.
is there something special we must to other then just add it to the
project? It is working on Windows.

2. Second bug is not so simple. We want people in the community to be able
to take their picture and create a simple profile. That profile will use
our new new WP REST API lib to save as WP Post. The problem is when we post
the binary image using POST HTTP, it fine on the desktop, but is giving
errors on Android. Is does the call and we see an entry in the media
section of WP, but no image. We tried base64, but that did not work.

Has anyone successful posted a binary image to an HTTP on an Android phone?
Are we missing something. You can find that part of code in *card
"addUser", *open the script of *button "done"*(on the top of the card) on *line
33 *we get the image binary, [the convert it in base64 line is commented
out] and after post it, by calling *mediaCreate *function of the WP REST API

To have the App on time for the conference, we are going to submit this
with the bug, or we man not get approval in time for Aug 1st.

Thanks,

Todd

Progress on WP REST API

[Todd Fabacher]

Here are two plugins that will allow WP to become a customizable DB server
with little to no DB experience. Perfect for LC students and people who
want to get a DB setup online, but don't have the experience or know-how.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/acf-to-rest-api/


but also, I have found many Custom Post Type Plugins:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/types/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/pods/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-type-maker/

We can look to adding this to the LiveCode WP Rest API library. I get
emails and I see some post of people asking how to setup a customized web
data server. These would do the trick. Plus most are open source and FREE,
but a few have a more feature rich commercial version.


We would like to focus on creating a sample App in LiveCode that utilized
WooCommerce. I think it is important to have several different example Apps
before we start to pitch to the WP community at large...any ideas

Any other questions [please let me know. I have had about 2 dozen people
email with questions and express interest in integrating WP with LiveCode.

re: Fwd: LC / WordPress / CGI challenge

[Todd Fabacher]

Hello Richard,

Rating Stars for WP - just doing an iFrame will not be that simple, because
you will need to transfer a good deal of info into calling iFrame. Plus you
will NOT be able to track the user.

I suggest using a WP plugin like this:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/rating-widget/. There are LOTS of them with
many many different options. This usually saves as a custom post type.

Because we hit the goal of $40K by last Friday, we are opening source our
LiveCode to WP REST API. We are preparing to put all the code online, but I
can send a version to you directly now if you wish. I can show you how to
pull the data directly from WP with just a few lines of code.  Here is the
blog post explaining what we are doing:
https://livecode.com/a-gift-from-the-community-for-the-community/

We are converting this into a script only stack and finishing the WP
Gravity Form maker.

Re: Community PDF Project (was Revenue and the Open Source edition)

[Todd Fabacher]

Actually Kevin, sorry but...

users need to be aware about Android. The statement "Bear in mind however
that basic display is already possible with the browser included in all
editions of LC." is not 100% accurate. A PDF does NOT display within the
web browser in Android. We ended up having to use the Android mergExt
external to display a PDF. This is an Android issue, not LiveCode, but this
is all the more reason the community should band together and get a PDF
viewer created. I will be happy to contribute some resources!!!

But I agree with Kevin. Everyone shouts Open Source, but few are willing to
put in the time and efforts it takes to make it happen. Send me an email if
you are interested in the PDF viewer. I will get one of my C guys to start
looking into it. We just need to learn LiveCode Builder.

Re: Anyone have any LiveCode hooks to WordPress? And, are you following these Word Camp events

[Todd Fabacher]

Good News for WP to LiveCode linking. We have completed an App that allows
you to control most WP function from LiveCode using the REST API.

It addiction we have a complete and detailed wrap of the WOO Commerce REST
API. It has taken us six months to get this right and well tested.

We will setup a sample website and create a simple App to demo the
functionality in the next week or two. I will talk to Steven about writing
an article that explains then entire functionality and process. We are
creating them as script only stacks that can be easily imported into any
project or on LC Server.

We have been talking to Richard about opening them to the community as open
source. We just wanted to make sure the code is solid before releasing
everything. Woo is finished, we are just dealing with the WP REST API now.

We are using HTTPS, as Woo requires, so we also have an example of OAuth
2.0 in LiveCode if anyone is interested. Narek is finishing the project in
the next few days and we will setup a sample server to the public to test
on, but please be kind to follow coders be not killing the DB with 20,000
records or posting nasty stuff.

Best,

Re: Load PDF in mobile browser

[Todd Fabacher]

Actually, I am quite happy with LiveCode. It is just I had to sit and
listen to a guy rail on me for an hours because he wanted to use C#, but I
convinced the owner to use LC. So Monte is actually correct, I did not test
the functionality fully on Android. My fault for sure. We had the App fully
working on iOS and promised a job before we were sure of the functionality.
BIG MISTAKE on my part.

Monte has also always been helpful and very supportive. Several times he
has gone out of his way to help us offline to solve problems. For that I am
grateful.  I do not blame LiveCode for the browser, but if it is a known
issue, I think there should be some kind of suggested solution - that is
just my point. But anyway I am a New Yorker and all we care about are
solutions. Maybe there is also a way the community can also help by having
large known issues and work arounds. We are an open source community. Let
me know how I can support such a thing.

On that note...

It seem my best option is to use the MergExt for Android correct? If I give
it a URL, will it open a PDF?

Thanks for the help,

So is seems only two options:

or use

 mergExt to open on Android

These seem to be my only two options? Any suggestions would be appreciated.


I like LiveCode, but sometimes it gets so frustrating when even the basics
are not there. We pushed the client to use LiveCode. The IT director said
it would be a mistake, now I have pie in my face again because there always
seems to be something that does not work. Very Frustrating, it's not easy
to get people to agree to use LC.

My hope is all this goes away in LC8. Would someone please start working on
a PDF viewer, it is MUCH needed. I will be your first client.

Re: Android Internet Library OpenSSL version problem

[Todd Fabacher]

Here is the email


Hello Google Play Developer,

Your app(s) listed at the end of this email utilize a version of OpenSSL
that contains one or more security vulnerabilities. If you have more than
20 affected apps in your account, please check the Developer Console

for
a full list.

*Please migrate your app(s) to OpenSSL 1.02f/1.01r or higher as soon as
possible and increment the version number of the upgraded APK.* Beginning
July 11, 2016, Google Play will block publishing of any new apps or updates
that use older versions of OpenSSL. If you’re using a 3rd party library
that bundles OpenSSL, you’ll need to upgrade it to a version that bundles
OpenSSL 1.02f/1.01r or higher.

The vulnerabilities were addressed in OpenSSL 1.02f/1.01r. The latest
versions of OpenSSL can be downloaded here
.
To confirm your OpenSSL version, you can do a grep search for ($ unzip -p
YourApp.apk | strings | grep "OpenSSL").

To confirm you’ve upgraded correctly, submit the updated version to the
Developer Console and check back after five hours. If the app hasn’t been
correctly upgraded, we will display a warning.

The vulnerabilities include "logjam
"
and CVE-2015-3194
.
The Logjam attack allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to downgrade
vulnerable TLS connections to 512-bit export-grade cryptography. This
allows the attacker to read and modify any data passed over the connection.
Details about other vulnerabilities are available here
.
For other technical questions, you can post to Stack Overflow

and
use the tags “android-security” and “OpenSSL.”

While these specific issues may not affect every app that uses OpenSSL,
it’s best to stay up to date on all security patches. Apps with
vulnerabilities that expose users to risk of compromise may be considered
in violation of our Malicious Behavior policy

and
section 4.4

of
the Developer Distribution Agreement.

Android Internet Library OpenSSL version problem

[Todd Fabacher]

I LiveCode going to upgrade the Internet Lib? Google sent out messages to
everyone in the app store:

*Please migrate your app(s) to OpenSSL 1.02f/1.01r or higher as soon as
possible and increment the version number of the upgraded APK.*

Our build manager say they will start rejecting Apps. Can we do anything
now? We have Apps that need to go into the store.

Re: iOS deployment question

[Todd Fabacher]

Hello Bill,

Please please if you have any info on the steps of how to submit to  the
OSX Store. We are facing the same problems. I can find almost ZERO info on
what needs to be done to submit the app.

Thanks,

Todd

Re: Separate Widget palette

[Todd Fabacher]

I think we should be looking at a Palette like Jot Forms:

http://www.jotform.com/

They do a great job of organizing the UI elements. It would also be SUPER
if there was a way to save grouped objects as templates and just import
them and drop them on the card easily. But this could be a script of some
kind. I assume that is what Scott is doing with his UI objects.

This is used by MILLIONS of people to create web based UI forms. It is
worth a five min peek.

Mac App Store Submission

[Todd Fabacher]

Is there any step by step guide how to create a .pkg for a LiveCode Mac App
for the store?

WOW, this is where the community can really help LiveCode. It is so
difficult to get a clear updated step by step guide to App submission. It
is such a crap shoot to find the right steps. VERY frustrating.


Richard, I would be happy to host this type of stuff. We are almost at he
stage of having a full time build manager. My only problem would be
language. She may not be able to write a proper explanation in proper
English.

We are going to open source the app and all the 16 language games soon. If
you are interested in seeing what are the possibilities with LiveCode check
out the iPad App:

https://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=1065372259=8

There is also an Android and desktop versions available on our website:
www.playlandarmenia.com The good news also is we already have 1000

RE: Ken Burn's Effect Library for Livecode

[Todd Fabacher]

Hello BR,

Any luck with the KenBurn's effects? We are looking into that and what is
being called 2.5D effects in a LiveCode. Not sure Scott Rossi or any of the
other great visual designers have looked into it yes. In effect is mixes
Ken Burn's with parallax and can also gif animation to get fancy.

http://blog.visual.ly/the-2-5d-effect-how-to-animate-photos-and-create-a-parallax-shift/

Most examples can be found on the internet using Photoshop, but there is a
GIMP example also:
http://www.gimpology.com/submission/view/2_5d_parallax_animated_photo_tutorial/

I think with a little extra efforts, this could add a real professional
 visual experience with little size or overhead expense to a LiveCode App.
If we added swiping an/or the phone's accelerometer. We are looking into it
and will put some resources on this for one of our Apps in a few weeks if
there is anyone who wants to work together on it.

Davos Day 3

[Todd Fabacher]

On day 3 we spent most of our time focused UI/UX issues with LiveCode. We
created a desktop/ native mobile  scrolling lib. I see lots of post on this
from beginners, we put put it into a substack. Take a look and let me know
if there is a better way.

Also, we can not deal with the suspending of LiveCode Apps on iOS when the
user switches away, terrible UX. I almost just lost a client because of it,
so I think we found a solution, not sure it is a best hack possible. Plus a
few more UI issues and we started organizing the business logic.

Re: LiveCode @ Davos

[Todd Fabacher]

Hi Mark.

Great question. Yes, we 100% will make this a thriving company. This will
be the first app of many. Talking with my team, they want to expand into
the the Business Canvas Model app and also into the vertical market like
specific apps like Marketing. We feel like creating an enterprise solution
by creating a central repository for all the small plans. This would be
great for franchise companies.

We are also focused on a solution to create elaborate reports in LiveCode
from the phone. The real issue is having the report in HTML and a PDF to
email, so we are meeting to find a solution for that now. No matter what
business app you are developing, having a proper reporting infrastructure
is critical. This needs to be solved by us today. We just had our daily
morning call and it seem we are moving into the direction of HTML and then
converting that into PDF.

Yes, we will be sharing most of the code, but the idea is to crete a
business out of it. So we will not be giving away the completed final
project.

Hi Todd. Interesting stuff. Are you planning to market this product once it
is finished? Or, is this something you give out for free once it is ready?
Or, is this more a proof of concept that you do not intend to complete but
give away for some other party to finish up?

LiveCode @ Davos

[Todd Fabacher]

Hello LiveCoders,

I am at Davos for a little business and was inspired to create a LiveCode
App during the conference. I am creating a blog post for each day, and the
goal is to create an app that "will make the world a better place", which
is the goal of the conference. I am also trying to pitch LiveCode a the
perfect solution for what many of the leaders are complaining about:
falling behind in technology and creating a barrier of entry into the
startup world for the disadvantaged. I think LiveCode can be part of the
solution.

There are 2 post up there now and I have have a few more to go to create my
App. So find out what's going on at what seems to be the center of the
world for the week and if you are so inclined, help us finish a biz planing
app for micro and small businesses around the world. Here are the two blog
post so far:

https://livecode.com/planning-for-better-at-the-world-economic-forum/
https://livecode.com/day-2-in-davos-security-wireframing/

Please make comments and check out the code

Cheers,

Todd Fabacher

Re: "fork" command?

[Todd Fabacher]

Yes, Monte is correct, we switch our servers to Node.JS simply because of
the ease of use, speed and productivity gains.

BUT...there is tremendous power is using one language as a solution. The
barrier of entry for most LiveCoders is very high to get a proper cloud
App. If like LC had a solution like Node.JS where you could just drop it on
the server. list your scripts, start up the server and BINGO one cloud
server ready to go - it would be HUGE.  FASTCGI did not offer many
advantages over Node.JS, and we are quite happy with it. but Now I need to
keep a person on staff who specialize it at the cost of over $100K.

The future of LiveCode is the cloud any way you turn, even if you do
traditional desktops. All this talk about HTML5 without a good, simple and
fast web server is just BS because it is the weak link in the chain. Any
productivity gain you might get in HTML5 or LC are going to be killed
trying to create a REST API server for your app.

I would for sure support any web server with this functionality. I also
think this would be a great opportunity to the LC community to step up and
do this on it's own as a independent project and let LC guys stay focused.
What do you think Monti and Richard?

Re: Displaying mixed text and images in iOS app

[Todd Fabacher]

Hi Richard,

We had the same issue, but we needed to actually edit the documents. If you
just need to display, HTML is the way to go. I suggest you use Base64 to
put the image in the HTML so there are no possible broken links. It is easy
to do. Plus, the HTML proved to be more flexible for mobile devices in that
you can control the layout easily using just a little CSS and make them
responsive.

Do you need to edit the document at all?  We also needed to edit the docs,
so again we turned to the browser using a wysiwyg html editor. We selected
https://www.froala.com/wysiwyg-editor, but there are several on the market.
Send me an email if you want the sample HTML editor code in LiveCode. I
think this will get MUCH better with the new browser widget in LC8 because
you will be able to get full messaging between your app and the browser on
mobile.

For those that are interested in charts+graphics+dashboards we are also
going web for this one. We have just started looking to wrap D3.js with a
LiveCode wrapper and will use "inheritance" of the browser widget in LC 8
to offer the full features of D3 which is incredible! Because we need both
online and mobile, we think this is the best option. LiveCode HTML5 will
not give us the speed we need.

Re: learning resources for kids

[Todd Fabacher]

Hi Monte,

We are releasing our Playland Armenia Social/Game App. It contains over 16
games, some are played individually and others are online multiplayer
player. The team wanted to create an App in honor of the 100 year
anniversary of Armenian Genocide. So they focused on the positive and
create a game for the children around the world to play together. It uses
Gamification to teach language for 5-9 years old.

It is a MASSIVE app, but it fun to play and will teach all aspects of
programing - including web services, Unicode, Animation and much more. We
did reuse the tetris  game from Scott and a modified Chess game we found
online.

Richard and I will be doing a FREE and open Google Hangout webinars going
over the app and how to code it. So your son or any educator who is
interested is welcome.

We will be releasing the code and a full Beta version in the next 2 weeks.
The webinars will be over the next few months. You can find info on the
game: http://playlandarmenia.com/

We won the national Open Game Challenge and are now headed to the European
finals next month.

Best,

Todd

Re: Vector images?

[Todd Fabacher]

I think the purpose of widgets is to add the functionality to an
environment. Microsoft .NET does NOT have native SVG or does JAVA. They all
use libraries or widgets to add the functionality to the platform.

If SVG is important, lets create a widget and be done with it. I agree it
is SUPER important, but it is NOT a core functionality. LiveCode needs to
be expandable, so if there are a group of people who want this, we get
together, raise the money and LiveCode or Monti or Trevor or whoever will
create a fully functioning SVG plugin.

If the community pays for it, it should be open to all. If not or only pays
for part of it, then it will be for sale for $20. I think it is IMPORTANT
that we as a community begin to understand that functionality is added by
widgets and not to the code. If we need or want something, we pay, it gets
moved to the top of the list and it gets done.

I just paid $7000 to get 64Bit Mic version of LC. I will pay $2500 to get
SVG started because it is important to me and the community. If LiveCode or
someone else wants to make it happen you know where to find me!!!

Also, Mark or Monti I am up for $5000 to get FASTCGI started. I think the
huge hole in the LC platform is the cloud. And we can not create a good web
server without FASTCGI. Ralf has done an FANTASTIC job with revIgniter, and
it would put LC on the map if we could get a great server going.

I have been reading about Open Language and all this extra stuff on this
email chain. But the ONLY way LiveCode is going to thrive and survive is by
getting a strong widget system going. That my friends is what businesses
and programmers are looking for today. Without a full array of available
3rd party widgets, LC is dead to the "Young and Restless."  Yes, they
expect it and DEMAND it because today programers just assemble, they don't
code. They are not given the time or the budget to get it done.

Has anyone created a Pedometer in LiveCode?

[Todd Fabacher]

An iPhone pedometer is one that counts each step a person takes by
detecting the motion of the person's hands or hips. We should be able to
get this using the change in the Y of the accelerometer.

Because the distance of each person's step varies, an informal calibration,
performed by the user will be required, plus we want to match that against
the distance covered using lon/lat of the GPS in the phone.

I looked but was not able to find anything.

I will publish this when done, but any help would be appreciated.

Re: What is this - is anyone making money?

[Todd Fabacher]

So the crux comes down to this. IMO your ability to make money with LC has
nothing to do with the language and everything to do with your business
acumen, which Richard and Todd have already pointed out will take a lot of
skill, effort and time. In this regard Gladwell is probably correct, it
wont matter what business it is, or what tools you are using, it's going to
take YOU the same 1 whatevers to master the business.

Great point Kay. So I searched google with LiveCode + startups, + money,
+profit, +success, +App business, +business, + Venture Capital ...Mostly I
got things like this:
http://discuss.joelonsoftware.com/default.asp?biz.5.855727.7

What do you think about starting a community driven initiative named
Making Money with LiveCode, it will complement the Create It with
LiveCode class? But it will be community driven and mentor people who are
just starting out. There are benefits because if you do contract work there
will be more takers, more possibilities of customers for the new widgets
and if you are an investor like me who is always looking for possibilities
- this is perfect.

The point is to make the LiveCode pie bigger and more profitable for all. I
am a HUGE fan of open source, but I am also a fan of HUGE profits. There
can be both.

Re: What is this - is anyone making money?

[Todd Fabacher]

  As many of us I have paid for the licenses, put money out for free
  development expecting some wanted features, continued for Indie
  advancement payments (hope to live beyond the licenses expire),
  I have to ask my colleague developers, are you making any money with
  the apps you develop (with LC)?  Or is it just fun?


This is the question that is on the lips of so many developers I meet in
the LiveCode community in the last year since I have started to use LC as a
development tool. The real critical problem is many expect LC to be a genie
in a bottle and grant you three profitable apps.

Mostly, it is lack of experience that has created this illusion. The lack
of profitability is more related to a void in understanding how to develop
profitable business apps vs. LiveCode. I have been working with dozens of
developers from the class to help them on their journey.  But that is a
small amount of the 500+ who are taking the class. Many do indeed purchase
LiveCode like they do language software and thing the will learn to speak
French simply by osmosis.

At DP have been like elfs, quietly toiling away for a year, but are about
to launch 5 very profitable Apps in addition to the 16 Apps [we still have
4 to go] that we helped LiveCode with for the Create It With LiveCode
class. Granted I have more resources than most, but here is what we have
done in a year:

*UBook24-7*: A management App + online scheduling website which allows
people to book appointments online, and the owner uses the App to manage
the business. The main focus is barber, hair salon, sports instructors and
personal trainers. Price $229 / year including a website and hosting.

*Express Event*: A management App + online eCommerce website for Events and
conferences. It provides a complete solution including event ticket sales,
speaker management , class registration, multi-locations for event Tours
and lots more. We also have an option for the event to have their own App.
Price $299 / year including a website and hosting. Plus another one time
fee of $299 if you want an event App.

*Build a Tour App*: A management App + online website + Custom App Tour App
designed by them for self guided Tours. We are in Full beta with cities,
universities, a wine area in NZ and a cruise line. A desktop app allows
them to manage and design their tour app [text, images, audio, video and
languages]. We take their data and match it agains a pre-build LC App
template, charge them $499 for the App and $29/ month for a website that
promotes the App and acts as a central server to update the app data and
advertising on an ongoing basis.

*MenuMania*: A management App + online website + Custom Menu App designed
by them with the desktop management app. For many hotels, restaurants,
airports  or other places where language and speed are an issue, we have
developed a simple menu maker. So instead of giving them a menu, a tablet
is provided or is attached to the table. You see this in many airports now,
but will begin to move to all food services. You can order and pay on the
device and the food comes right out. Several New York restaurants are
interested more in using this as a wine list as it can make suggestions
based on the menu, and will provide a more information on the winery which
people are always interested in. We have just started connecting with
the Culinary Institute of America to try and make this not just about fast
food. $499 for the App and $29/ month for a web server. Also we are looking
into a kitchen management system to go with it, but that is 2016.

*PlayLand Armenia*: The team in Armenia what to do this, so I said OK. No
it is not profitable and in actuality I am loosing money on it, but it was
a great team builder and help teach some critical skills. It is an app
where Armenian kids 5-10 around the world can play online games together,
become friends and learn Armenian. This was the teams contribution for the
memory of the 100 year Genocide. So rather focus on the negative, they
provide a way for the Armenian kids around the world to still feel
connected.

*3 large Contact Apps*: We are doing 3 apps on a contact basis. These have
helped us learn new technology and provided the revenue to teach new people
LiveCode.

So my point is, I could do these in any language, but LiveCode allows me
several critical advantages. Multi-platform, ease of use so I can hire and
train people who have never even coded before and get them up to speed in
4-6 months, seamless connection between the app and LC web server using
revIgniter and a great interface with WordPress which we use as the website
for many of the web portion of the apps.

I hope this answers your question.

Thanks  Alex. I am taking off the week to finish the Calendar App and do
the slides for the Create It with LiveCode course. I will include this
functionality and send it back to the community to use.

Much appreciated,

Todd

It's at tweedly.org/downloads/icsLib_1_0.zip   (contains the library, a
demo and test stack, some test data, ...)

iCalendar [.ics file] Open Source Lib for LiveCode

[Todd Fabacher]

Over in the Create It with LiveCode Class we are working on the iCalendar
App for the iPad, and we have a request to create an open source project to
read and write to the iCalendar universal calendar file format [.ics]. It
is used by several email and calendar programs, including Microsoft
Outlook, Google Calendar, and Apple iCalendar; enabling users to publish
and share calendar information on the Web and over email; often used for
sending meeting requests to other users, who can import the events into
their own calendars. Here are the specs:

https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2445.txt

If you are interested and/or if you are wish in getting involved please let
me know on the forum topic:

Thanks,

Re: mySQL: PHP or direct access?

[Todd Fabacher]

I have used SQLite on a database server, but it has it's limitations. mySQL
is the way to go for a long term solution. It is actually MUCH better when
you start to go over everything that is needed for a true web server such
as backup, load balance, multi user transactions and a VERY long list.

We do use LC Server + revIgniter to create a great middleware REST API to
our database. We host it on both the LC servers and and hostM
https://www.hostm.com/livecode-hosting.m

We have not released it to open source yet, but we are working on a
multi-user LiveCode database sync tool that will sync between a local
SQLite DB and a web server DB. There are a few limitations like not using
auto-counters as PrimaryKeys, you will have to use UUIDs which is better
anyway.

We are a few months away, but early stages look VERY good. If you are
interested, email me and I will see if I can help you.
