Re: Quartam reports blank page on Sierra Macosx

[Jan Schenkel via use-livecode]

Hi Josep,

I'm always happy to help, but if you post on the forum on Saturday afternoon, 
then you might not get an answer by Sunday afternoon...
Can you provide a little more background infoàrmation, because I can't quite 
follow what problem you are encountering.
Some screenshots or perhaps a screen recording would definitely help me to 
understand the issue.

Let's continue this over on http://forums.quartam.com so the good folks on the 
use-livecode list can concentrate on the LiveCode bits :-)

Cheers,

Jan Schenkel.

 Hi,
 
 I need help with Quartam Reports. Since Sierra MacOSX when
 you print preview any report a blank page left on desktop
 making unusable these zone until close the app.
 Since now was impossible contact with Quartam support.
 Any idea if Quartam still exist or is supported?

Re: Checking out the "Resources" button in LC9

[Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode]

LC 9 is a bit like a human being who has an appendix because millions of
years ago his/her ancestors were eating a high fibre diet in the depths of
the Pangean jungle: full of old, outdated stuff that has been overlooked in
the relentess onward drive.

Re: Checking out the "Resources" button in LC9

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

I was thinking about some of the old deprecated/obsolete features (like the
Resources), too.  I think that some of those should be resurrected in 9,
because they are things that a n00b might appreciate.  Some of the SQL
tools are one good example, like field binding.

Old site? This may be DNS caching not browser caching. Clear the cache on your

Re: Converting scripts in stacks to script only stack behaviors

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

+1

The whole point, or one of the points to object oriented development was to 
de-centralize the code base. As stated in other posts it really comes down to 
how complex your app is. I have cards that can be used in any stack, and cards 
that are very specific to the app. Same with different stacks.

Re: Different result in LC 6 to LC 8 when copying field text into Excel?

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

If it helps, it may be a Mac OS issue. If I open a text file exported from a 
Toshiba copier, like the address book let's say, then open it with a text 
editor like SimpleText, and then save it, I cannot reimport the text file. The 
copier thinks that the file is unreadable. This happens with other Mac OS apps 
like Excel and Word. Someone at Apple thought it was a good idea to just help 
us out by replacing foreign line wraps to carriage returns. Oh, and not tell us 
they were doing it.

Re: Browser Widget Appears to be caching data (javascript)?

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

Right. But that is the browser cache. If you are talking about a url resolving 
to a different site, that is a function of DNS, which is totally separate from 
the browser cache the browser maintains. I do not think the browser is capable 
of bypassing DNS caching.

But maybe I misunderstand the problem.

RE: Browser Widget Appears to be caching data (JavaScript)?

[Ralph DiMola via use-livecode]

To refresh a browser cache I put an argument on the URL that is different
from the last request and the cache will be invalidated. In LC I put
"&seconds=12345678" at the end of the URL arguments or if there are no
arguments then I put "?seconds=12345678" where "12345678" is the LC "the
seconds". This only helps if there is no more than 1 request per second. I
there are more that "the milliseconds" would be more appropriate.

The local DNS cache can be refreshed on Windows by "ipconfig /flushdns". I'm
sure that this is function is available on other platforms. Then you are
getting the next level of DNS that you might/might not have access to. If
the next level is your router you can reset that DNS cache, but after that
you have to wait for it to propagate. The TTL of the DNS entry gives an
maximum time this will take. I practice I have found that this happens much
quicker. I use DynDns for IPs that change regularly and that seems to happen
very quickly.

Re: Browser Widget Appears to be caching data (javascript)?

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

>From Stack Overflow:

"There's no guaranteed way to force the user to clear the DNS cache, and it is 
often done by their ISP on top of their OS. It shouldn't take more than 24 
hours for the updated DNS to propagate. Your best option is to make the 
transition seamless to the user by using something like mod_proxy with Apache 
to create a reverse proxy to your new server. That would cause all queries to 
the old server to still return the proper results and after a few days you 
would be free to remove the reverse proxy."

Another way is to simple create a redirect on the old page.

Well said.  "Responsive" isn't a technology, but a design decision 
(these days, arguably a requirement).  Regardless of the language used, 
decisions need to be made, and the expression of those decisions in code 
needs to be tested.


Some things are easier in one language than another, and other things 
easier in other languages.


But all of them require commitment to providing a good UX, clear 
thinking about the layout goals, and good familiarity with whatever 
language will be used to express those goals.

Personally, when it comes to programming I prefer textual tutorials, so 
I can copy-and-paste code.  But any tutorials folks in our community 
want to deliver would be welcome.

Thank you all!  

FYI tmpanel.rev crashes 8.1.3 (at least here on Sierra)

Coding Responsive UI in Livecode

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami via use-livecode]

[moved to a new thread]

Sample stacks are probably the way to go… with some lightweight "guide on how 
to hink about it. Like Trevor wrote "slice up your UI into rectangle and 
groups… go from there."

Well said.  "Responsive" isn't a technology, but a design decision
(these days, arguably a requirement).  Regardless of the language used,
decisions need to be made, and the expression of those decisions in code
needs to be tested.

Some things are easier in one language than another, and other things
easier in other languages.

But all of them require commitment to providing a good UX, clear
thinking about the layout goals, and good familiarity with whatever
language will be used to express those goals.

Help: Does anyone use legacy message box behavior?

[Monte Goulding via use-livecode]

Hi Folks

I’m in the midst of making the message box redirect work in all engines 
(https://github.com/livecode/livecode/pull/5156 
) and it would seem that 
there’s a legacy message box behavior that could be removed from the engine. 
It’s not used by the IDE. The behavior is if no message box redirect is set 
then it looks for a stack named “Message Box”, sets the text of the first field 
then raises the stack. As this is only an IDE thing I strongly suspect we are 
ok to remove the code but while I’m waiting for the team to wake up in Scotland 
I thought I’d check here!

It would be easy to work around even if you have been depending on it because 
it’s just setting the property and then handling msgChanged to put msg where 
ever you want.

Cheers

Monte

Go for it. Would be nice to have redirect work any/every/where.

Do whatever it takes, I've been waiting for this for years. I could 
really use it right now. Debugging standalones is an exercise in 
frustration.
