Colorizing XML (and maybe error checking)
Hi all, I have a couple of XML files I want to analyze using liveCode. What I want to do is some sort of colorization of the start and end tag (and maybe hilite the start tag if the end tag is missing). Also I'd like to do some validation of the XML stuff and point to the start line of the error. Now, before I re invent the wheel, has anyone already come up with something here?

Storing location for a preferences file in a standalone stack?
I'm not ready to face the differences in where things go with mac windows, and dealing with the OS preferences settings. Is there a way that I can store and change a string in a standalone stack to find the preferences file, where I can then stuff the rest? Should this, perhaps, be a custom property? -- Richard E.

Re: More weirdness
Hi Jacque, Thanks for the suggestion. Initially, I thought this was occurring in the plugin version of the stack (which runs modeless), but I can reproduce it now in a regular toplevel stack. Pete lcSQL Software http://www.lcsql.com On Sat, Sep 29, 2012 at 7:29 PM, J. Landman Gay jac...@hyperactivesw.comwrote: Maybe because you're opening a modal window from inside a non-toplevel stack? Just a guess. Since your stack is a plugin, you might have better luck if you use the IDE messages intended for those. It seems like your scripts get hung up mostly when they trap messages that the IDE also manipulates. If you can transfer your handlers to the plugin messages instead, you might avoid some of that. For example, you can set up your plugin to receive a revOpenStack message when a stack opens and run your handler from there instead of from openStack. There are tons of things going on in the IDE whenever a stack opens. All the pre- and open- messages bounce through a dozen libraries, frontscripts, backscripts, etc. and there's no telling which one will lock up debugging calls and cause breakpoints to abort. I think the rev plugin messages are sent after all the IDE stuff is over and done. By then you're safe. I vaguely recall this came up before and there was some reason you couldn't use those, but it might be worth re-exploring. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: More weirdness
HI Mark, I suspected front script problems too. The only message my front script traps regarding the opening of stacks is openStack; all my front script handlers have an initial check to ignore messages that originate from an IDE stack by looking for stack names beginning with rev or, as you pointed out, the answer dialog, plus the ask dialog, message box, and Home. However, I've also tried all this without the front script in place and still get the same problem so the front script is eliminated from consideration at this point.

It sounds like some message is getting issued (lockmessages disables it and so you're out of trouble), a frontscript is handling the message partially or possibly throwing an error, and then you're hosed. Remember that the answer stack is a stack if you're handling the (pre)open/stack/card messages. Same thing with the message box. Also remember that IDE stacks won't normally let you know that an error has occurred. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: connecting to mysql
Most web hosting companies have one or more MySQL-eneabled offerings, but only a few of them allow you to connect remotely to their database, and most doesn't allow you to add users. I.e. all users will run as the same user. What you need is, as suggested before, to have some CGI-script written in a server language (if you have MySQL that language is probable PHP.) So you connect from you app to the server scripts which in turn connects with the database. :-Håkan PS in the lesson you have a comment before the setup that reads: -- set up the connection parameters - edit these to suit your database 29 sep 2012 kl. 17:13 skrev Mark Smith: Mark Schonewille-3 wrote What made you think that you could use the RunRev server to test your own MySQL scripts?

Re: connecting to mysql
Hi Doc, the server engine is perfectly capable to connect to the databases that are supported in the desktop engine. At least for postGres and mySQL I know for sure as I am using those two. :-) What you can not do in most cases, is connect from a desktop app to some remote database, unless you govern the server yourself. This is for security reasons, so you need a middleman that broadcasts the data, which can be written in any language, liveCode server included. That is if your ISP allows you to install the engine. We can, though, expect a developer package and webserver package to include the basic tools that every database using application will need.

Would anyone mind..
Would anyone mind checking over a stack for me? I've come to the conclusion that I just don't have the energy for a real project (plus with my design skills its pretty much out of my reach) but I do think there are some useful aspects to the thing as it sits right now. Unfortunately my other efforts to extend it have.. er.. How to put this politely. Ok they've sucked. As it sits, the stack will track the mainstacks that are open, filtered based on a list of filters in a field. (to eliminate untitled mainstacks and rev stacks from the list) The list should auto update when changes are made (thanks to pete, thanks pete!) It also maintains a list of all stacks currently backed up. The backups are stored in an array in a property of the stack. What its good for: Want to take a snapshot of a mainstack and all of its substacks that are in memory? (They don't have to be saved, and even if they are, the version is memory is what will be backed up) select from the list and click backup. The stacks are added to the array of backed up stacks, and the plugin stack saves itself. If you took a snapshot of a stack hierarchy and then manage to break the stack you're working on, you can then recover the snapshot and look at the code of the recovered copy along side the main working stack. If a stack is with an identical name is already in memory the recovered stacks are named copy of thestackname so there is no worry about the that stack is already in memory message. Want to revert to the snapshot? Just close the stacks you wish to dump, then either rename the copy of.. or close the misnamed stacks and then recover them again. They'll pop back out with the correct name as long as a stack name is not already in use. If the destroystack property is not set for your stacks this means forcibly removing them from memory. Thats about it. Why am I blabbing all this here? Because someone (with a better grasp of design and structure for this sort of thing, AKA not me) could easily convert the method in to a cvs. The sheer speed at which a stack and its substacks can be grabbed this way is amazing, So, anyone and everyone is welcome to look it over, incorporate any pieces and/or parts into different projects, mangle it, whatever. The current version of the stack can be found at https://dl.dropbox.com/u/11957935/mdbRevisionPlugin.livecode The automagic stack updates won't work unless the stack script is inserted into front. The scripts are documented, and there is a test stack saved as a backup in a property of the stack. the test stack has a field with another short description of how things work. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: Storing location for a preferences file in a standalone stack?

Does /Users/Shared still exist? Shouldn't that be usable for shared preferences? If this still exists and is useable as in the past, a single preferences stack in this location could be used to store individual personal preferences for multiple users if users are logging into the app, using a conditional, and global prefs if needed.
