Re: Dr. Strangelove (or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love XML)
I reckon people get put off by the long revXML function names and all the parameters. But if you are fortunate enough to have Galaxy, it makes things easier - you type the first few characters then use the autocomplete function! Before long you will find loops such as the following to be second nature: put revXMLrootnode(tID) into tnode put revXMLfirstchild(tID,tnode) into paramNode repeat get revXMLAttribute(tID,paramNode,name) if not (it contains xmlerr) then put it into tname put tname comma after tparamlist end if put revXMLNextSibling(tID,paramNode) into paramNode if paramNode is empty then exit repeat end repeat delete char -1 of tparamlist regards Martin ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Have a look in the docs for 'import snapshot'. New in 2.7 was the ability to take snapshots of objects and groups, keeping the alpha channel intact.

Re: OT: SSH on OS X
Hello. It's very easy to set up SSH on your Mac (System Preferences Sharing Check Remote Login box) but you may have a few pitfalls in the way if you're trying to connect from anywhere other than your local network. You didn't specify too much detail, but I would assume you're trying to connect to your mac from outside your home network (From work, perhaps) and your problem is probably any firewall you have between your desktop Mac and your remote location. The firewall at the remote location (if any) shouldn't be a problem as most firewalls only lock out outgoing connections rather than incoming ones. Since this is the case, you'll need to open port 22 on your firewall (Probably using port forwarding, but port triggering may work as well). I would highly recommend using Hamachi (http://www.hamachi.cc) if you're trying to make connections between remote computers. Hamachi sets up a virtual private network that effectively connects computers as if on a local area network. The free version works, but the premium version will overcome any firewall or NAT problems you may have. There is a client for Mac OS X Called HamachiX (http:// hamachix.spaceants.net/) that, although not officially supported by the Hamachi team, works great and does everything I've needed it too. I've tested using hamachi without any firewall settings and it works most of the time. If you have trouble with it, you can open a command line, type hamachi logout hamachi stop and hamachi start debug in one window to switch it all off and then turn on a window to monitor it's progress. From there open another window and type hamachi login to watch for any problems in the startup process. It will tell you where it is connecting (Including the port) and if it is successful or not. That way you can tune your firewall settings to fit any problems you may be having with Hamachi.

Re: OT: SSH on OS X
Hello. Since it was off topic, we transferred the conversation to a private email thread. Here are the emails that were exchanged following the last public post. Sent by [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] It's fine if you contact me privately. If your router is claiming to be forwarding correctly, then I'm not sure where the hang-up would be. Assuming you used Sharing to enable SSH, the firewall on your mac automatically opens the port it needs. Do you have Stealth Mode enabled, perhaps? On Tiger if you click the Advanced button on the Firewall tab you can access the firewall log. That may provide a little more insight into your problem. If the log is kept on previous versions of OS X, it should be located at /var/log/ipfw.log and is accessible using the application /Applications/Utillities/ Console.app. I hope that works for you. Thanks, Brent Anderson Sent by [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi. I hope it is okay to contact you offlist. I need to get SSH working from outside my local network. I've tried just about everything with no success. If you don't have time to help, I really do understand. Please don't feel obligated. Here is what I've done so far. I want my desktop Mac to receive the SSH requests. On that Mac, I have: Enabled Remote Login in the Sharing prefs Added ports 5900-5902 to the open ports in the firewall (for eventual VNC later on) Set my network router to forward port 22 to the local IP address of my Mac Then I get on my Powerbook. If I am on the local network and use the local IP for SSH, it works fine. I can SSH to the desktop Mac, and see everything in Terminal. If I turn on Remote Desktop on the desktop Mac, I can use a VNC viewer to see and work with the desktop Mac. Then I took my Powerbook to a nearby internet cafe. I issused this command from Terminal: ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] where user is a non-priveleged account on the desktop Mac and 75.72.193.146 is the current IP of the WAN address on my router. Terminal is completely unresponsvie for about a minute, and then I get the message Could not connect to 75.72.193.146. Operation timed out. There is no other info and I am never asked for a password. I tried this several times. Sometimes I used this command instead: ssh -L 5900:127.0.0.1:5900 [EMAIL PROTECTED] just to see if I could map ports for VNC, but that failed the same way, no connection with a timeout. When I got back home, I looked at the router logs. It showed that a connection request was received and forwarded to my desktop Mac: Sun, 01/14/2007 12:10:07 - SSH forwarded - Source:71.210.170.117, 52180, WAN - Destination:75.72.193.146, 22, LAN Sun, 01/14/2007 12:10:07 - SSH forwarded - Source:71.210.170.117, 52180, WAN - Destination:198.162.0.2, 22, WAN I'm not sure why there are two entries, but each attempt I made has the same 2 lines. Maybe there is something wrong with the port forwarding? The desktop Mac is correctly assigned at 198.162.0.2, which is a static local IP. Do you have any ideas? I know very little about this, but it looks to me like everything is going fine until the request hits my desktop Mac, which then never responds. There is a stealth checkbox in the advanced settings in the firewall pane in Sharing prefs, but I did not turn that on. Again, if you don't have time for any of this, I really do understand. Please don't feel obligated. But if you do have time, I'd really appreciate any advice you can offer. Thanks much.

Re: OT: SSH on OS X
Sarah Reichelt wrote: I don't know about anyone else, but I am very interested in this thread and would like to see it remain on list. Okay, I guess I owe it to the list to say what went wrong and how I solved it. I did solve it, by the way, because having to write everything up for Brent in a private mail forced me to re-read what I'd done. When I did that, I finally noticed -- after days of frustration -- that I had made a (oh, this is embarrasing) typo. When I fixed my typo, voila, it all worked. So I feel stupid. But relieved. The upshoot is that, yes, it is easy to enable remote SSH in OS X provided you can type correctly. Here is how: 1. In System Preferences, Sharing pane: turn on Remote Login. This opens up port 22 in the software firewall and allows SSH traffic to your Mac. 2. If you have a router connected to your internet pipe, forward port 22 to the local IP address of the Mac you want to connect to. For me this was 192.168.0.2, which is the static IP of my desktop Mac on our home LAN. (This is where I made the typo. I swapped a couple of the numbers. No wonder it didn't work, my router was sending info into the cybervoid.) 3. Find out what your public WAN IP is; this is the one the world sees on the internet. You can look at your router logs for that info, or else go here to find out: http://whatismyipaddress.com/. This is the IP you need to use for SSH from a remote location. Note that most ISPs will change this number periodically. There are services you can use to accomodate that, but for my tests I just used the currently assigned IP. That should be all you need to do. Now take your laptop to an internet cafe somewhere, open Terminal, and type: ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] Substitute a valid user account on your home Mac for user and your WAN IP address for the 123s. You should get a password prompt, and then you are in. Unless, of course, you make a typo. :) Now about the issue of dynamic WAN IPs. There are a few services you can sign up with for free that act sort of like a DNS service for private routers. They allow you to log in to an account name instead of an IP number, and will re-route the name to the current WAN IP of your home router. Every time your ISP changes the number, your router informs the service and they update the routing info. Most routers these days support this stuff, I think. My Netgear router supports any of three of these services, one of which is dyndns.org, which is what I will probably use. Once you sign up, you just set your router to notify the service at every IP change. Then when you SSH in to your Mac, you can use your assigned name/account info instead of a number: ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] If your router doesn't support this service natively, I understand there is software you can run on your Mac that will do the same thing.

Well, StackRunner 1.5 was built using the 2.7.2 engine (see the bottom of the page at http://www.sonsothunder.com/devres/revolution/ downloads/StackRunner.htm), so it's possible that the mySQL commands were changed between 2.7.2 and 2.7.4. However it's more likely that you don't have the mysQL database drivers in the right place... StackRunner has the revdb external in it so you can make database calls, but it is not bundled with all the database drivers. These drivers should be in the Database Drivers folder of your 2.7.4 installation and include something called dbmysql.bundle which you'll need to connect to in order to use mysQL from StackRunner.

Then I can briefly see some malloc() errors before the whole screen goes blue and everything reboots, all apps close, no saving whatsoever. No way to replicate this bug. The script is dead simple. The error is unavoidable. Code is inside a try/catch block and yet it fails just in time for quit. What is the script Andre? And does it work OK from Terminal? I haven't had this happen, but maybe if you post the script, someone might come up with an idea.

Sarah Reichelt wrote: Now about the issue of dynamic WAN IPs. There are a few services you can sign up with for free that act sort of like a DNS service for private routers. They allow you to log in to an account name instead of an IP number, and will re-route the name to the current WAN IP of your home router. Every time your ISP changes the number, your router informs the service and they update the routing info. Most routers these days support this stuff, I think. My Netgear router supports any of three of these services, one of which is dyndns.org, which is what I will probably use. Once you sign up, you just set your router to notify the service at every IP change. I use dyndns and fine it very satisfactory but be very careful about using your router to update it for you. I tried this using a Netgear router and got blacklisted for submitting changes every few minutes. Go to the dyndns site and find a client. For Mac OS X DNSUpdate works flawlessly and unobtrusively. Thanks very much for this. I was going to use the router. I did see the warning on dyndns's web site but assumed the router would handle things correctly. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
OT: lost everything, macbook and its HD broken.
Friends, I was here coding some AJAX programs and developing libraries, my macbook just made a strange mechanical noise and then it was dead... when tried to boot, it made lots of mechanical noises and it never booted again. The noises are comming from the hard drive. I am assuming I lost everything. all my source code for the last year and everything I was working. I don't know what is broken... but I can't make it boot even from CDs... I don't know what I am to do now. I am writting from my old G4. I was doing some contract work and then it broke. The machine is now bricked. Can't boot from HD, Firewire, Network or CD, I've tried them all. The screen goes white, lot's of bad noises and the famous question mark of no system folder. I can't even erase the PRAM... never chimes. sorry for this annoucement but it will be a while till I set everything up again. Tomorrow I'll go to apple repair service but they are making a fool of me for more than three months already. I was waiting for a replacement main board for this same machine. Now it appears, I'll need a new machine. My backup machine was broken some months ago, I had no money to buy the parts to build it up again. The G4 had no space for hosting the macbooks backup. I think I just lost all my revolution source code which was maybe 5 or 6 gb worth of code. andre ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: OT: lost everything, macbook and its HD broken.
Andre, Wow, man, I am sorry to hear this. It reminded me once again of the necessity of keeping thiings backed up. I'm pretty meticulous about it but every once in a whlie I let it slide. Hope your woes can be solved soon.

Re: OT: lost everything, macbook and its HD broken.
Hello. There are data recovery specialists that can take even a dead drive and extract the data off of it. Their services usually are aimed for corporations with hefty bankrolls, but you may be able to find someone who can do it within your budget. A google for Data Recovery will point you to a handful of these services. Some of them range from using specialized utility docks for the drive itself that interfaces with specific drive manufacturers and models while the extreme is the disassembly of the hard drive in a clean-room environment and reading the data off of the platters from another device. It's safe to say that this spectrum of simple to extreme is mirrored by cost, but there are options yet for your dead MacBook. A (very) brief exploration of services available indicates that the cost of recovery may be from $380 and up. If you have AppleCare (Or another insurance program), however, you may be in luck. I'm not too familiar with how much coverage AppleCare will give you, but it may cover data recovery in the event of defective hardware.

Re: OT: lost everything, macbook and its HD broken.
Hi Andre The same thing happened to my old ibook recently. I didn't get the noise but the S.M.A.R.T. status of the HD was failed. I was only able to retrieve the data by booting up a live cd of Ubuntu (PPC) followed the instructions below.. http://jclark.org/weblog/2005/05/24/ubuntumount/ Eventually the whole drive needed to be replaced because it wouldn't install either OSX or ubuntu. Good Luck! regards alex Andre Garzia wrote: Friends, I was here coding some AJAX programs and developing libraries, my macbook just made a strange mechanical noise and then it was dead... when tried to boot, it made lots of mechanical noises and it never booted again.

Re: OT: lost everything, macbook and its HD broken.
Andre, Very, very sorry to hear about your dire circumstances. There are a few times when having to reprogram an app or two can be a good thing, but not the whole working environment. If you get back up and running, let me know. It is so easy for me to set up an area on my web host for file storage for you (login and pswd protected). There would be no cost and 5 or 6 g would be just fine. You should have said something to someone in the group, since many of us have drive space available on the net somewhere. I don't know anything about drive recovery, but perhaps someone out here does. Sometimes a college or university will have someone who can work magic, especially with all the computer labs in the world these days. Even better, they might try to do it for very low cost. Good luck and let me know.
