Re: Witango-Talk: Social Media
I think most of the social integration occurs via widgets created by the social sites or by aggregators, such as 'add this'. They operate in frames, mostly.

Re: Witango-Talk: Monitoring Website Users
I have done such a function. It isn't the most elegant solution, but it works. First, I created a user variable that added the viewed page to a user-scope variable. So the user variable had a list of codes that represented unique page views.Then I created a domain scope array that has a few columns: cookie value, visitor name (if they are checked in), a copy of the user-scope variable, a timestamp of last hit, and their shopping cart. Every time the user scope variable is updated, it replaces its corresponding row in the domain scope variable. You can then look at a list of current visitors by showing the domain scope variable. I created a trigger - when the user scope expires, the domain scope row is deleted and added to a record in a database. Happy to share logic, code, or a tour of a testing server.

Re: Witango-Talk: MacOS 10.7 ODBC
My next step is to try to figure out how to use my Mac powerbook as the testing server. Never done that before.

Re: Witango-Talk: MacOS 10.7 ODBC
This was successful. Created a DSN using JDBC on dev machine with the same name as the ODBC on the production server. dev machine is hitting localhost via jdbc and production is hitting same name database on production machine with ODBC. Saveas version 5.5 because production server is still on 5.5. made a simple test.taf using a builder. It worked with one hitch. The prev/next button didn't happen, but rather showed the code on the screen. Likely a typo somewhere in the builder.

Re: Witango-Talk: MacOS 10.7 ODBC
ok, have jdbc running. Are you telling me that I can create a datasource using the ODBC option, but connecting to the dev database using the JDBC driver, which will then on the production server find an ODBC DSN of the same name and use it? This is sounding possible.

Re: Witango-Talk: MacOS 10.7 ODBC
very helpful and a little hopeful. The fact that neither JDBC nor ODBC options can be used to create a DSN tells me that the JDBC drivers are hosed, also.

Re: Witango-Talk: MacOS 10.7 ODBC
The existing DSNs don't show up in the studio, to I went to re-create, but there are no drivers. I go to look in the regular apple ODBC admin utility, and it's nowhere to be found. I find open link iodbc manager, and it has the drivers and DSNs listed, but they all fail when tested. Errors are "specified driver could not be found" and "no such file or directory" So I figured the installation of 10.7 hosed up ODBC.

Re: Witango-Talk: MacOS 10.7 ODBC
Yes, well, I have a drive with my old OS and applications while I'm migrating another to the new OS. You don't know all the hiccups and incompatibilities until you give it a shot. Installing Java is not a problem. I expected that ODBC would be natively supported by the OS as it (sorta) was previously. the upgrade wiped everything out. wondering what the right protocol is to re-install. _ On Jul 30, 2011, at 12:42 AM, Wayne Irvine wrote: > Robert made an announcement recently about not supporting Lion yet.

Re: Witango-Talk: customizing the 404 error response
what I don't get is that there is an architecture for handling errors in a custom fashion by pointing to an error file. A placeholder file is installed by default.

Re: Witango-Talk: customizing the 404 error response
Here's a long standing problem: the 404 error page for witango. If a client hits a nonexistent .tml or .taf URL, they get a witango-generated error. inelegant. One should be able to customize that to the 404 error page of your choice. Bill Conlon suggested the logic, which makes perfect sense. It will, however, reliably crash the witango server if you actually put any code into the error.tml file.

Re: Witango-Talk: Alternate Dumb Question Thread: Security
There was a long thread about this vulnerability way back when. I even
experienced it once where I was sent a URL that had the userref on it and
joined a session, seeing lots of stuff that shouldn't be shared.
Prevention is easy. Just don't do it.

Re: Witango-Talk: Alternate Dumb Question Thread: Security
A long-term and easily addressed security issue with tango/witango is the use
of _userreference argument in the URL. The builders default to using this.
LIkely, back in the early pre-pleistocene days of tango, it was practical to
pass this argument in the URL because of cookies being blocked or something
like that. Using this feature enables session hijacking and other evils. If you
use builders, you should strip out this URL argument. Otherwise, don't do it.

Re: Witango-Talk: generating unique codes
I need to stare at this code a bit more. I made it witango 5 compatible (while object and instead of @sleep, I just threw away output based on the same timestamp) results code: NZVWIXXX timestamp: 1287058511 code: LURAVSXX timestamp: 1287058512 code: LURAVSXX timestamp: 1287058513 code: NZVWIXXX timestamp: 1287058514 code: ZLNKFQXX timestamp: 1287058515 code: BNCILFXX timestamp: 1287058516 code: KRCCOCXX timestamp: 1287058517 code: NZVWIXXX timestamp: 1287058518 code: BNCILFXX timestamp: 1287058519 code: BNCILFXX timestamp: 1287058520 code: NZVWIYXX timestamp: 1287058521 code: KRCCOCXX timestamp: 1287058522 Interesting, don't you think?

is there a tag that will do a sleep or wait in witango 5.0? this is generating some interesting output. just want to slow it down to one code a second.

Re: Witango-Talk: generating unique codes
This looks good. THank you. Going to test it out. Was thinking currenttimestamp could make it unique, but converting it to non-obvious random-looking code was stumping me. thanks.

Re: Witango-Talk: generating unique codes
Steve, Thanks. What I'm trying to avoid is generating a code and then having to go look through all prior codes to make sure it's unique.Not sure if that would end up being a processing burden, but I don't want to risk it.

Witango-Talk: generating unique codes
looking for method to create unique and non-obvious n-digit codes to be used as discount codes. Should be short enough to use as consumer codes (8 digit?), and probably be something simply to enter, such as an all caps, and not have an easily discoverable pattern. I want to generate unique codes and not have to check the history to see if a code has been used before. Suggestions?

Re: Witango-Talk: case matching
hmm, playing with this. For UTF8, the collation options are utf8_bin and then a series of language specific _ci options. for ascii, there are choices of ascii_bin and ascii_general_ci etc. On Apr 20, 2010, at 12:32 PM, Robert Garcia wrote: > MySQL is not case insensitive.

Re: Witango-Talk: date sent on mail actions is off
wait a minute. DST started on the first sunday in april as of 1986 (in the US). THe system clock knows the time, time zone, and that it's daylight saving. witango is off. I don't recall this happening last year or the year before. The witango log is stamping the right time, just emails get pushed forward an hour.

Witango-Talk: date sent on mail actions is off
as of daylight saving time, the "sent" date on messages originating in witango mail actions is off by an hour. THey are an hour later than actual. The clock on the server is correct and has the right time zone Messages going through the same mail server are all stamped correctly The headers of the messages have the correct timestamps in them However, in mail clients that have "datetime sent" and 'datetime received' show this disparity of an hour.

Re: Witango-Talk: the case of the disappearing cookie....
I was cognitively impaired in two ways. I didn't know the push interfered with cookie setting and I'd completely forgotten that I'd put a push on some actions when I was debugging. So I didn't see it and didn't know it was important. I'd spent too much time trying to come up with the conditions where the cookie set failed and came up with a very elaborate and very wrong hypothesis. Egg on face. Again, thank you.

Re: Witango-Talk: the case of the disappearing cookie....
hmmm. think I've got it. The longer and more complex a taf, the less likely the cookie set is to work, and the deeper in the logic, the less likely to work. So, for a complex one, if you set it up top, it sets, but the lower down or deeper into the logic, it starts failing. You can put it at the third level of logic in a simple taf and it works. So, If I take a taf that has a string of _functions and within each of those are conditions, and the cookie set is at that level, it fails. If I take that one function out and make it a separate taf, with no _functions at all, then the cookie works. I look at the XML and it's not making mistakes, so it's the witango server that is making the errors. Now I have to break my all purpose login/logout taf into its separate functions.

Witango-Talk: the case of the disappearing cookie....
I'm going batty. A simple enough thing: setting a cookie. Whether I do it with an assign action or an <@assign> tag, the following occurs a taf with JUST the assignment works. The cookie is set. I can set it, re-set it, change the expiry. It behaves as expected in a single step taf. Put that action in a longer taf (dragging the action from the test taf to the one I'm working on), and the debug shows the cookie assignment. I can put all kinds of displays in the taf to show that it is alive through the last return. The cookie isn't set. It behaves like a request scope. As soon as the taf completes, it's vanished. It never appears in the browser. So, I put a branch and return action from the taf to the one-action taf that had successfully set the cookie. No go. It isn't persistent. Another request scope cookie. There aren't any <@purge> tags that affect cookie scope and there is no other cookie assignment in the application that might be conflicting. What might cause a cookie to expire as soon as the taf completes? just found one more clue: If an assignment is made within IF/ELSEIF/THEN logic, it expires at the completion of the taf. If it is made outside of any conditional actions, it sets. Anyone seen this before? TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/developer/maillist.taf

Re: Witango-Talk: Expired Variables and Forms
how come you don't parse the form into smaller sets of fields and just accumulate the responses in user scope, and then submit it all at the end? I had much better user experience by having one question/form and letting the user tick through the questions with a "you are at 3 of 20" kind of message with each. On Jul 17, 2009, at 12:05 PM, WebDude wrote: I have always had a problem with long forms and having user info expire before the forms were filled. I have done long forms in sections with a submit for every page. I have done timed javascripts that calls a pop-up after 25 minutes telling the user to save and continue. Yada Yada Yada. I am in the middle of putting together a very long form for a client and decided to try a different approach. I load a taf into an iframe with height and width attributes set to 1. The taf doesn't return anything, it's just a header with a meta-refresh every 25 minutes (1500 seconds). Now call me dumb, but this works perfectly, as far as I can tell. I've tested it on many forms, forums, in-house blogs, etc., and I cannot get it to break. Every refresh refreshes the variables and holds onto all the user info. A really simple solution to what I thought was a vexing problem. I just updated a bunch of stuff by adding the iframe at the bottom of a bunch of form pages. I cannot find any drawbacks to this... I hope I am not missing something. TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/developer/maillist.taf TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/developer/maillist.taf

Re: Witango-Talk: WAY OT: anyone know anything about PHP and files?
got frustrated and turned things around. Wanted the witango site and the PHP site to be using the same folder for pdf files. Pointing the PHP site to the folder in the witango site used to work, but stopped. Only solution was to move the folder to the PHP site and point the witango site to it. That worked. thanks.

Re: Witango-Talk: Keyword Relavant Links
a cheap way to make search args SEO friendly is to just append keyword laden arguments. If your taf is looking for something like ? _function=list&cat=3 which a search engine overlooks, append descriptive arguments that may or may not actually be used in the taf, such as ? clothing_type=pants&size=long&style=pleated&_function=list&cat=3 On Nov 11, 2008, at 8:06 AM, Robert Shubert wrote: Here’s a little more help on this issue: IIS: set the 404 error handling in the Custom Errors tab to: URL: / main.taf (or whatever is going to handle this) At the top of main.taf use code something like this: <@ASSIGN url <@CGIPARAM name=http_search_args>> <@ASSIGN parsed_url <@TOKENIZE str=@@url chars=/?>> <@ASSIGN parsed_url <@TRANSPOSE array=parsed_url>> That will leave you with an array containing the information that was in the original URL. The expectation is that you would have similarly named TAFs, includes, or possibly a lookup in a database to know what to display back to the user. Probably the biggest problem you’ll hit is that all requests are going to be handled by main.taf (at least initially) so to add this to an existing application you will need to do some branching as well. If you can’t determine exactly which page to display back to the user, you must send back a properly formatted 404 error page. Keep in mind that you need to be careful about this whole process. You can create endless loops and possibly other problems if you don’t have good error checking. I can attest that this will function under very high loads.

Re: Witango-Talk: OT: detecting country of origin
A friend who wanted to go to a site that does not allow US visitors, used a proxy service located in the UK. The site knew his browser was coming from the US. I had him hit my server using the proxy, and it shows an IP from Germany. Somehow the proxy does change the IP, but still reveals the location - somehow. That intrigued me, and now we're looking for what it may be using to detect country of origin.

Re: Witango-Talk: variableTimeout
Ah, I get it. You want to have a never expiring experience. I did one in which a user scope array was mirrored in a global scope array. When the timeout trigger fired, it stored the global scope mirror of the array in a database with the user reference cookie as a field and then killed the global scope array. I'd think that using that logic, someone doing a soft login could be re-united with their user scope variables.

Re: Witango-Talk: [OT] Dreamweaver login shows instead of files
I figured it out. We had massive power outages last week due to storms. Many of my locations had new IP addresses when everything came back up. The new IP addresses were illegal for the directory in question and it errorred out. The problem was that the error files (403.html, 404.html, etc) were corrupted by Dreamweaver such that they contained only the content of their corresponding checkout files. So, I'm trying to access a range of pages, including non-existing pages and consistently getting the odd Dreamweaver file. A compound error. On Jan 10, 2008, at 4:34 PM, Alan Wolfe wrote: probably not much help, but if that directory is behaving differently than the others maybe there's a file in that directory which is named the same as one of your "code" files that you are using to make this system work. ie if your code ran a "checkout.bat" file to do it's work, which resided in some directory, but this specific directory had a "checkout.bat" inside of it, it could be that the false checkout.bat file was taking precedence over the real one.

Re: Witango-Talk: Intel Mac
it might have been my case. the MyODBC connectors started failing. Witango couldn't see them. I tried OpenLink's and they gave me problems. Discussion on the board speculated that witango couldn't see the non-universal drivers and various other things. The odd experience was that with MyODBC failing, then OpenLink failing, going back to MyODBC drivers worked. There was some sequence in my trial-and-error that solved the problem.
