If an experienced database developer could lend a hand, i would be really grateful. Hi Alejandro Ok, since you don't know anything about databases, I'm assuming that it is also going to be quite a lot of work to deal with compiling the sqlite FT plugin for the different platforms too. (I've no idea how hard that would be or what problems you might meet with - but in general these things are always harder than they are supposed to be). So, let's consider a Rev-only solution, and if that looks like a hopeless case then it will make the work required to deal with databases and compilation more worthwhile. As I'm slow on the uptake, I am still not entirely sure what I think it is you are trying to do. Am I right that given these search terms: baboon OR monkey AND fruit and index file b.tgz contains a line like this: baboon: 1,5,9 index file m.tgz contains a line like this: monkey: 2,7,17 index file f.tgz contains a line like this: fruit: 3,7,23 you would want the result of your search to be: 7 i.e. the number of the article that matches the boolean search? Unless I've misunderstood, what you want to do is combine indexes in order to satisfy boolean combinations of search terms. However, it looks to me like the existing indexes don't contain enough information for you to calculate frequency of occurrence (a measure of relevance). And depending on how these pre-existing indexes have been constructed they may not have any stemming information in them. You might be able to build some kind of rough stemming algorithm in Rev (by doing rough pluralization like 'baboon*', but as Richard pointed out more complex plurals like 'children' will be where the work comes). Are you looking for an approximate solution? Or do you need greater flexibility of scope and relevance scores, etc. ?

Behavior Nightmare
Does anyone know what the message order is for behaviors assigned to multiple objects? I have a set behaviors assigned to a card, and a set of behaviors assigned to a group that is placed on the same card. It seems that the behavior scripts of card are being handled *before* the behavior scripts of the group. Is this expected behavior? Is there some way I can have the scripts of group processed before those of the card? I've been trying to migrate a bunch of object/card/stack scripts to behaviors and it has been a major pain trying to get messages to naturally fall between objects the same way messages work in the normal message hierarchy. I can't use a single set of behaviors for all the objects because there are common mouse event messages that need to be handled across objects depending on what object is clicked (ie mouseDown on the group does something different than mouseDown on the card).

Re: Behavior Nightmare
Been using behaviors for a while now - and they have seemed unproblematic and intuitive to me. I may well have missed something as I use them in a particular way, but this is as far as i know the situation (shoot me down if I get something wrong). Behaviors are effectively backscript for the object they are attached to - so a behavior on a group will be called before a card unless the group is a background in which case it will be called after the card?

Re: Behavior Nightmare
Do the groups have their 'backgroundBehavior' property set by any chance? In theory, a behavior acts like an object-specific backscript, but the message path for background groups is a tad strange when it comes to the card script, so who knows?

Welcome aboard Andrew. I think you will find the framework very useful for application development as it provides the vital pieces that you need for creating and maintaining an application in Revolution. The alternative is to spend time writing your own equivalents. While that would be an educational experience you don't get much bang for your buck. There is still a lot of areas that need more thorough documentation so if you have a question ask. That usually gives me enough incentive to add a few lessons. There is a Google Group you can send questions to. The link is on the main GLX Application Framework page. http://www.bluemangolearning.com/revolution/software/libraries/glx-application-framework/ A feature that was requested a couple of days ago, and I assume needs to be developed early in the process, is for a Help system. For Example: ... Reading up on GLX, it said something about handling broadcasting. Can I use GLX's broadcasting features to do something like this? Am I misunderstanding the purpose of broadcasting? Am I spinning off into the wrong quadrant of space? I would go with the advice you have received from others rather than using the broadcasting feature of the framework. In your situation you have multiple objects that are trying to display information in a central location. The data is flowing into the help display but nobody else really needs to know that the help display has been updated. The broadcasting APIs included with the framework are relevant when you have lots of parties interested in any changes made to a single object (the reverse of what you are doing). Basically broadcasting providers a way for any number of objects to sign up and say, Hey, I want to know when object A's property is changed or such and such an event occurs. When object A's property is changed or the event occurs object A sends out a broadcast. The Broadcasting API dispatches messages to all the objects that signed up to be notified. Object A doesn't need to know who is signed up. One concrete example that may prove useful - in one of my apps I have a lesson table in a SQL database. The title of a lesson can be displayed in a number of different places in the UI. Each UI element that displays the lesson title has signed up to be notified when the lesson title is changed in the database. When the lesson title is changed a broadcast is made and a message is sent out to each object that signed up to be notified. -- Trevor DeVore Blue Mango Learning Systems ScreenSteps: http://www.screensteps.com Releasable Revolution Resources for Developers: http://revolution.bluemangolearning.com ___ use-revolution mailing list [hidden email]http://n4.nabble.com/user/SendEmail.jtp?type=nodenode=1477997i=0 Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution -- View message @ http://n4.nabble.com/Help-message-Broadcasting-system-tp1477816p1477997.html To unsubscribe from Help message Broadcasting system, click here (link removed) ==. -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/Help-message-Broadcasting-system-tp1477816p1478638.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.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

Re: Localization
Thank you both for the thoughts and the link. NativeSpeak looks nice. Currently, while localizing the interface of my app is something I will have the distinct pleasure of looking forward to /sarcasm, my interest is mostly on displaying unicode (or non-ANSI) characters in a field that are read from the internet. Let me run through a sample of what I'm talking about to explain why I'm so perplexed and maybe someone can point out what's wrong. 1. Create a new stack. 2. Create 3 fields: src, dst, and rep 3. Create a button to perform the test 5. Go to www.google.ru and copy some Cyrillic text from the upper-left toolbar 6. Paste the text into field src At this point it should be noted that the text does - in fact - display the correct Russian characters. I haven't changed the font of the field or done anything else special as setup for the field to receive unicode characters. This is good. Next, I'll modify the button script like so: on mouseUp put the unicodeText of fld src into fld dst set the unicodeText of fld rep to fld dst end mouseUp What I expect to happen is field dst should now contain all the bytes that comprise the unicode string and rep should be a copy of the original source text. But that isn't what happens. Hell, even just doing a copy of src - rep doesn't even work: set the unicodeText of fld rep to the unicodeText of fld src ## or... put fld src into fld rep I don't mind writing a lot of functions to handle manipulation of unicode strings at the byte level. But if I can't even get unicode characters from one field to appear in another, I might as well be throwing darts at a bullseye on the floor blindfolded; I'll just end up with bloody feet and a terrible score. If anyone can suggest how I can end up getting the above example to work, I'm all ears... and feet. ;-) Jeff M. ___ 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: More on Revolution
I suppose it's too late to ask for all the money back that we lent/gave to almost every country in the last century, that now thinks us the bad guys? It would go a long way to solving our present economical problems. No matter, we have no intention of paying back the Chinese, who are funding our debt now anyway. ;-) Also, Maybe next time there's a disaster in a country that could never hope to pay us back, and we come to the rescue anyway, instead of accusing us of trying to take over, maybe give us a pat on the back for always being there when needed? But let me say that it is my observation in life that when people say they, they most often don't even know who exactly they mean. It's just really easy to think of an unrecognizable mass of humanity, all the unknown individuals of which are conspiring to do what you don't like, and then demonize them. It makes the forwarding of other foreign (or personal) policies much easier to justify. The actual truth is much more complicated, and much harder to sort out, and no one really wants to work that hard at knowing anything anyway. This is true, not only for countries, but for any organization of people. When Freedom of the Press was initially instituted, the press really WAS the people looking out for the best interests of the people. If it has now become the PR group for a particular party, or worse yet, the propaganda machine for that party, then that is on the people. Just be clear about which theys you are speaking of here. Still, it's because of Freedom of the Press that there can even be alternative media organizations in America that can say what they think, and no one can stop them. At least not yet. One great strength of America is also it's greatest weakness, and that is we get a whole new group of theys every 4 to 8 years. You need to specify which group of theys you mean. I am not particularly fond of the theys we have right now, and I was not entirely happy in the end with the previous theys, but probably not for the same reasons you were not entirely happy. But at least we can hope to correct our mistakes, God willing. It is because of the willful ignorance of Americans, that they seem to keep voting for theys that end up being self serving. Americans in general have become politically lazy, and morally uncertain, but there are signs that is changing. Do I smell revolution on the wind? So think of elections in America as a whole new revolution every 4 to 8 years, only without the bullets and bombs and such. And remember that revolutions don't always work out for the better, but they have and they can, especially when the revolution has a real moral foundation to it. Now a bit on foreign policy. If 2 guys walk up to me on the street, and one of them punches me in the nose, I am going to hit that guy as hard as I can, then I am going to start in on the second one, because I have to assume he is in on it. Then I am going to go back to the first guy and finish the job. If I am mistaken, then I will only say the second guy should have chosen his friends more wisely. If those guys have been threatening me and my sister for the last two weeks prior to that, I might not wait for the first guy to punch me at all. Think of that as my personal foreign policy. So if America went to kick Bin Laden's arse, and then turned around and started in on one of his friends, I can forgive America for that, especially when that friend was mocking and jeering, and threatening the whole while that they had a really big gun they were going to go it get and shoot us with it. Has everyone forgotten that Saddam Hussein had been boasting the entire time that he was developing chemical and biological weapons, and intended to use them? No one likes a bully, either in school on in the world. Everyone (except the bully) is plenty glad when the new kid shows up and fairly kicks the bully's buttocks. From time to time there arises a world leader who thinks he knows best how to run not only his own country, but the entire world, and then goes about implementing his grand plan for perfection. When that happens, the guy you want to come help is the biggest baddest meanest kid in the neighborhood. Don't hate him later, if he leaves the bully in a bloody heap in the street, with several of his friends beside him, and then goes home to watch TV. He may seem heartless. He may make you uneasy. But luckily for you he doesn't really want to take over the neighborhood. Frankly it's too much work. And you might want to say a little thank you next time you see him.

Php Framework for Rev based Development Strategy
I'm looking for a php framework that will allow a php based team to work together with a Rev based team. The aim is to use revLets to rapidly prototype interfaces, and when these are settled and tested where appropriate replace these with AJAX / php based interfaces. The legacy php project is a classic old-school mix of php and html - and I figure the best way to get both development environments to play together is to use an MVC / n-tier php framework where the GUI is distinct from the backend layers - so that both revLet interfaces and html / AJAX interfaces can call the same php backend. Does anyone with php experience have any recommendations of frameworks or strategies that would allow this type of rapid prototyping with revLet based interfaces? ___ 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

[ANN] RunRev Community Linux 0.0.2
Hello Folks, I've made an update to our little Revolution enabled distro. I've added revMedia, some big Gnome packages and some network, media and printing packages as well. My connection at home is terribly slow, it takes about six hours to download the vmware image here, so most of my testing was done remotely which is not a good way to test things. So if you take your time to run this, please send me feedback. Over time, I will work some FAQs and howtos as well. http://andregarzia.com/revlinux = Useful Information = The username is revolution The password is linux (Also used for any administrator dialog) All Revolution versions are installed in: /home/revolution/apps Apache, PostgreSQL and MySQL are running. Apache home folder is: /srv/www (for the static files) /srv/www/cgi-bin (for the CGIs) files with the .rev extension are mapped to the MIME type application/x-revolution. The desktop icons are .desktop files inside /home/revlution/Desktop those files are text based and can be edited if someone wants to fiddle with the settings. You can install new software by going to the computer menu - Install Software.

Drag and drop from browser bug?

Re: Spell check
Jim, The RunRevPlanet SpellCheck stack should meet your requirements. You can make the rrpSpellCheck.rev stack a substack and so it become part of Standalone application, which means no extra files to distribute with your app. After it is made a substack, you can spell check a field with just a few lines of revTalk. The two Tutorial chapters in the http://www.runrevplanet.com/downloads/rrpSpellCheck-Guide-Reference.pdf SpellCheck Stack Guide and Reference detail how to use it. It can be kept as a separate stack, if that better suits your application design.

strange option menu behavior
I may be doing something that option menus were not intended for, so I want to check if others are seeing the same behavior. Using Rev 4.0, I'm creating an option menu in a stack with all the possible menu items I need in it. However, some of these menu items need to be disabled at different points. So I'm simply running a disable menuitem 2 command, and that works great on the Mac side. But when I do this on the Windows side, the menu items do not appear disabled, and they're displaying the ( before the disabled items. What's strange, though, is when I select one of these items, my menuPick handler does not fire, but the menuHistory of the button changes to the item I selected. So there's kind of some weird mixed behavior going on. Anyone else seeing this? Is it normal? Is there a workaround? Should I not be using an option menu this way? Thanks for any suggestions.

Re: strange option menu behavior
That sounds like the standard behavior of option menus on Windows - there's no way to disable any of the menu items (nor to insert separator lines, for that matter). The same goes for combo-boxes, by the way. The only solution I've been able to cook up, is to use a popup menu - use the 'at' parameter of the 'popup' command to make the menu appear in a fixed spot rather than under the mouse.

Re: altRevBrowser Noob
Whoops! Spoke too soon. It seems that once you click in the browser window, neither clicks nor keystrokes ever make it into the Rev engine ever again. On the Mac as well as in Windows, if the browser is not clicked, hitting the Q key will quit the app (because I trap that rawkeydown and quit). Once the user clicks however, it's game over. So if anyone really understands the inner workings of the altRevBrowser, could you tell me if there is any way to get the browser to allow events to get to the IDE? I would think that the browser would pass events to the IDE, but I may be mistaken. For the future, it might be better if the browser works within an object like a field or an image or a button, instead of splashing in front of every object. Admittedly, this is not a problem for most people, because you would never put a rev object where the browser is being rendered. For now I will put a small Quit button at the top of the window and that will have to suffice for now. Bob Thanks for all your help everyone.

Re: [ANN] Move controls in tRev Object Browser with the new ZOOM!
Bob, Glad you are grooving on tRev. tRev has definitely changed the way I personally develop apps, mentor and work on projects for people. But the area where I've seen the most change in my own habits is in the debugging arena. I used to debug in GLX2's and Rev's modal debugger a lot. I was quite dependent upon it. In fact, I think I was using it as part of my coding environment. My code got sloppier—I figured, Hey, I'll catch any problems in the debugger. Time spent coding was, well surprisingly lengthy. It would wear me out. I didn't realize it at the time, but in retrospect, that's what I think was happening. I'd have to say that using tRev has changed my coding habits in general. 1. I spend much less time coding. 2. I spend about 80 to 90% less time debugging now as well. Why is that? I was somewhat mystified by this discovery, myself. Here's what I think has happened: my mind started working differently when I started using tRev. I really organize my code in the folders it provides in the handler lists, especially since I can drag and drop handlers wherever I like in the handler list's folders. I can actually find my handlers—even from older projects. The scratch pad containing links of frequently-worked handlers helps me find the handlers I'm working on, as do the links to handlers peppered through out my code, thanks to tRev. The biggest thing I discovered about coding in RevTalk and xTalk is this: it's about the handlers. How you get to them, how you organize them. The stats function in tRev even tells me my average handler size in a script. If the lines per handler is getting too big in a script, then I know I'm asking for rough sledding and wasting time. Coding in tRev is ALL about the handlers. When I realized this, I slapped my forehead and said: It's the handlers, stupid! tRev has puts me in a better frame of mind: simple order. That's how I'd describe it. tRev has really made it easier and encouraged me by its example (you could say). It's easier to follow my own simple coding standards (naming vars with good names, not using nested functions, indexing repeats with var names, not x, etc.). And the autocomplete feature really cut down on typos. So, firstly, my need to debug is less, because my code was getting better. Then, when I did debug in tRev (we call it decoding), one glance at the decoder and errors seemed to jump out at me. Most of the time I don't even step through the breakpoints. That said, our decoder (a modeless debugger that appears after a script has run with an historical record stored in a database of breakpoints) still has some features coming. We are working on better support for multi-dimensional arrays and fixing some display anomalies. We're also adding support for breakpoints in repeat loops that let you walk through the iterations of variable content in a loop— after the code has run, of course. The biggest advantage of the debugger: its design/architecture keeps it completely out of Rev's way. It cannot really crash Rev or tRev. It's like a good doctor that does no harm. People using tRev are challenged by the decoder because it is a completely different model. There is no debugger like it. But once you get to using it, and let it work on your head, you'll find some real rewards. I am a very productive 61 year old coder and developer. You see here on this list just how often I update tRev with new features. I also do a significant amount of mentoring and project work for others. I also have a life with my family, community and friends outside of the technical world. But since using tRev, I spend less time coding/developing and much more time enjoying it, blogging about it. tRev seems to give me a certain clarity of mind that GLX2, Galaxy, Constellation and Rev script editors did not. Again, glad you're enjoying the product. It's encouraging to hear.

I've never even used seek for a read, preferring to keep track of offsets myself. This is why, in the example that I gave back on the 9th (and tested at the time), I used *open for append - write at offset - close*. I also have never written an empty, but some truncated data. So, I just assumed and it sounded logical that seeking and then writing an empty was the equivalent of what I knew worked. I guess not. Good to know. In any case, I do know that if you open for append and write at least one char at an offset, it does truncate the file at the end of that char. And I know this works on at least PC and Mac.

I'd suggest you implement something in your registration key code that identifies who are 'normal' users, and who are 'company' users. I think you could then proceed in at least two ways (with Rev there's sure to be more:-) A simple method of checking for the 'optionKey is down' on mouseUp if ((the optionKey is down) and (the cRego of this stack contains PLEH)) then --present a field with the current Help message --allow for updating Help messages else --normal process end mouseUp That way, a company worker who comes across a Help message error, can click on the object (with the optionKey down) and update the Help message right then and there. Of course you may have other plans for option/command/alt/control key combinations. Another option could be 'company' users have an extra checkbox on their Preference page (or an extra Menu Item, that allows them to enter 'Update mode', which removes all the data from the fields and leaves a blank card with all the fields and buttons which can be clicked and Help messages individually updated. So maybe a have a handler that watches for the custom message property to determine what control it is and the hanlder gets info from the db to put into the help. If you are referring to the getProp message, I don't see a reason in this situation to use it. Assuming your DB is large or bigger, then you'd need to organise some scheme of keeping track of updates in portions of the DB, (ie just prices, products added removed, Help info updated) so when users go online a quick check is done and then they are given the option to update the latest info.

Endian issue with Intel Macs maybe. Don't open a file for write until they fix it, you can lose data. I'll file a bug report. The reason I just noticed this is because I was testing some of these suggestions. The version of open file we should be using, the one which truncates contents, is the open for write command. However, no matter at what position I write to the file, the entire contents were replaced. Don't go there if you're on a new Mac. You won't lose data with other types of open file, but the write position may be off. It sounds like it works okay on Windows, and I suspect Linux is okay too. I remember using open file for write on my PPC machine and had no trouble, which is why I suspect an Intel issue. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com 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

There is essentially nothing to see there any more. Now when there WAS, you had to pull the shades on your seats before landing, and while on the ground.

Append is supposed to force any writes to the end of the existing file. I tested some more with the open for write command, which should do what Alex was after -- truncating the text at the character offset, and adding any new data at that position. This fails on both Windows and Mac. Bug report has been submitted.

Re: Spell check
I'd love to use these routines, but when I run your demo stack nothing happens in the field that should be checked, except the flagged words become unflagged. In the listBadWords handler, when the Applescript command is executed I get tErrorList = execution error -- which is not trapped for, so it fails silently. I'm using a MacBook, OSX 10.5.8, Rev Studio 4.0.0-gm-1, build 950. Does this stack require Snow Leopard? -- Peter Peter M.

Re: Spell check
No, I wrote it originally on 10.5. After installing the XSpell scripting addition, maybe you need to restart Rev to get it to know about the addition. I don't remember if I did that when I first installed.

Re: [ANN] RunRev Community Linux 0.0.2
Great work. I'll download and have a bash. Andre, we really owe you much thanks for this work. What we need now is for Rev to agree formally that this (or something else if they prefer) is a reference distribution, and bring specification and performance on this into line. Specification should include the user manual. As my old quality managers used to say, quality means that you do what you say you are doing. If you can't change what you do, you must change what you say you are doing. -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/ANN-RunRev-Community-Linux-0-0-2-tp1490459p1536368.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.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
