Re: Can the new player work with YouTube in 8.1.1?

[Paul Hibbert]

One way that does work with YouTube is to use a browser widget instead of the 
player control, then set the URL to the “embed” link provided by YouTube, but 
first, remove all of the iFrame tags and parameters, so in this case the URL 
would be, https://www.youtube.com/embed/K033kBr3C6c

Re: lcGoogleDrive, Livecode for FM, etc.

[Monte Goulding]

Hi Alex

Yes one of the side effects of the LiveCode for FM project is a renewed push to 
show off what can be done with LiveCode to a community that hasn't seen it 
before and the oauth2 library and google drive library are a result of that. 
The oauth2 library is in/will be in LC community 9. We really wanted to 
facilitate people wrapping web services with this.

Google drive might possibly make 9 (not sure on the edition) but it may need to 
be fleshed out with more APIs than have been done thus far.

I also have a MIME library that has a pretty handy htmlText field to multipart 
email handler. It does embedded images too so it's quite helpful. That's what 
he Troubleshooting dialog uses. I believe that will be in community too.

Cheers

Monte

lcGoogleDrive, Livecode for FM, etc.

[Alex Tweedly]

Actually, that subject line should probably be

lcGoogleDrive *without* Livecode for FM


I see that one of the components listed under Livecode for FM is a 
library for OAuth2 and GoogleDrive.


Have I missed any announcement of those being available generally - i.e. 
without LC4FM ?I'm not expecting them to be free - but I do think 
they'd be useful in themselves.


Thanks

Re: disabled on 10/28 for bounces--to gmail???

[Bob Sneidar]

Bouncing is highly unusual for cloud based mail systems as it is now an 
ineffective method for spam systems to remove obsolete emails, and malicious 
spammers can use this to clean up their databases by purging the bounced 
emails, or trolling for valid email accounts. It can also be used as a 
distributed denial of service mechanism. Newer mail systems will just drop the 
email unless otherwise configured. Exchange defaults to bouncing.

 I wonder if the problem is over-aggressive spam filtering. If a spam 
 filter bounces the list mail back to Mailman, you'd have "excessive 
 bounces".
 
 I am not having the problem. In my cPanel I have spam filtering set to the 
 default average level (5) and I receive list mails individually. I think 
 sometimes the digest can appear as spam and that might cause a bounce. So 
 I wonder if those people who are getting unsubscribed are receiving the 
 digest? If you try receiving individual messages, do you still get the 
 warning?

Re: disabled on 10/28 for bounces--to gmail???

[Colin Holgate]

I’m using Mail, and my provider is Verizon. I checked my settings online, and 
they do have an option where they delete spam automatically. I’ve changed that 
to have it save the messages in a spamdetecter folder. I should be able to see 
which messages are coming from the LiveCode lists.

Still not sure that any mail system would pretend to bounce the message, 
instead of just blocking it.

Re: disabled on 10/28 for bounces--to gmail???

[J. Landman Gay]

Typically the hosting service handles the spam filtering before your 
email client gets it. That's the filter I was referring to. GMail users 
may not have the same options though.

That would make sense if you had spam system that sent back a rejection 
message. I don’t use spam filters, I just let some emails go into Mail’s Junk 
mailbox. But I’ve also had the excessive bounce message a few times.

For what it’s worth, my Junk mailbox currently has four emails from Roger 
Eller, one from Jan Schenkel, and two copies of the same email from the 
LiveCode team.

The LiveCode team ones look like adverts, but the other messages seem harmless.

Arrays are so useful in so many contexts that they're well worth spending an

Once grokked, they open up many worlds of simpler, more efficient algos across

Possibly because someone is using your email address in a forged header to send

Re: [ANN] LiveCode for FM Brings Easy Flexible Coding to FileMaker Apps

[Bob Sneidar]

THAT is interesting. However, there is still a licensing issue for Filemaker 
standalones which is why I am using Livecode now. But for developing for 
clients who already use Filemaker clients, this could be a great thing!

Re: savingStandalone message

[Bob Sneidar]

Just discovered that the reason for this is that the compiler somehow changed 
the path to the mainstack in the Stack Properties Stack Files. What the...??? I 
reset the path to the main stack and now I can compile.

Re: disabled on 10/28 for bounces--to gmail???

[Colin Holgate]

Heather is looking into the issue, and it’s not bounces of posts that you tried 
to make, it's bounces of the emails other people posted, when they try to get 
sent to you.

LC 6 to 8 some strange expieriences aligning objects at resizeStack

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Hello,

I am migrating an old LC 2-6 stack to LC 8.1.1 In this stack I resize and
arrange all objects by script when resizing the window.

First experience was, that on Windows everything worked the same as in LC 6,
all objects looked fine and aligned when resizing.

On OS X 10.11 I am still fiddling around since some days to get all objects
aligned. The nasty thing is, that I now have lots of code, which I have to
differentiate between Win and Mac, where I had all the same code for
resizing up to now in LC 6.

One of the tiny, nasty things is, that the rect of an option button now can
be different, as the visible rect of the button. Only at the default button
height of 22 both are congruent. I know, this is a new thing of the
underlying OS X drawing routines. But since I can't test it, I have no idea,
what happens going back on a 10.8 system or to Sierra, are there the same
graphic objects, or do I have to differentiate for 10.8,10.9,..?

What is more annoying is that the height of the stack isn't anymore the same
as the parameter newHeight of the resizeStack handler (what it was before on
OS X and still is on Windows). Again lots more of code differentiation.

Another weird issue is that the video appears 26 pixel lower as the player
object is located (26 is the height of my stack menubar). Now I have to
place the player object more to top by the height of the menubar. Since I
couldn't create a recipie in a test stack for this strange issue, I didn't
reported this as a bug. Again here I feel very unsafe if this hard coded
workaround to place the player object more to top, as the video has to
appear, works on all OS X platforms.

Now I feel very uncomfortable with LC 8.1.1 shortly before release.
(Unfortunatly I discovered these resizing anomalies on OS X pretty late in
my project) 

Do you have any similar experiences? Any recommendations?

Tiemo

AW: German Umlaute get corrupted on macOS Sierra

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

I have found a workaround, though not the reason.
The version of my program with the corrupted Umlaute is from 2013. I have send 
my customer a test version of a newer version of my program from 2014 and 
voila, all Umlaute appear correct.
This show to me that the issue is a Livecode issue in combination with Sierra. 
Since I don't have a history, which standalone I have build with which LC 
version (I should start with such a history now), I can't say which LC 6 
version works with Sierra and which LC 6 version not. I think some nerds can 
find the LC version in the hex file of the stack, but I can't.
Does anybody remembers if there was some change in handling code tables?
Any other idea as giving the customer a free upgrade?
Tiemo

Hello Hermann and Paul,
good idea, but my customer checked "Tahoma" with the fontbook and it is 
installed and looks fine in the fontbook.
I also tried the indirect enter with holding the "u" for 2 sec and then 
choosing the "ü" from the menu, but the letter also is corrupted, when 
displayed in the field. Very weird.
Thanks

Betreff: Re: German Umlaute get corrupted on macOS Sierra

I run Sierra on an older iMac (2009) and a newer MacBook Pro, I don’t see any 
problem with LC6, I just tested the German Umlaut with pasted text as well as 
typed text in LC5.5.5, LC6.7.11(rc2) and LC8.1.2(rc1) and I’m seeing exactly 
the same result in all 3 versions, the umlauts are present and correct.

If it’s just one customer on one Mac, I would guess that maybe it’s a Font 
problem, can you check if they have the same font installed that your app uses, 
and if it is, maybe they need to check for font problems with the Font Book.app 
(should be in their Applications Folder).

Re: savingStandalone message

[Dave Kilroy]

Hi all

Ali I would find it really useful if we could set a build number for iOS builds 
inside the plist file where I’m using the 'external test’ functionality in 
TestFlight

I normally use my own way of setting and recording build numbers - and I’m 
happy to carry on doing do. But where there’s a problem is that there is 
currently no way to indicate to iTunesConnect what an app’s build number is as 
a separate value to the app’s version number (see 
http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14163 
) - this means we can’t 
upload incremented binaries of the same version number to iTunesConnect for 
rapid deployment via TestFlight, and must instead upload an incremented version 
and then wait around three days for it to exit ‘Beta review'

So, if you are making changes to the standalone builder and including an option 
for build number could you bear TestFlight in mind?

Kind regards

Dave

Re: autoScript

[Kay C Lan]

Manually enter a scrip into btn "BB"

Then modify your first mentioned script to:

on mouseUp
  put the script of btn "BB" into oldScript
  put "make me coffee" into newScript
  set the script of btn "BB" to newScript
  put the script of btn "BB" into checkScript
  breakpoint
end mouseUp

With debug mode ON, running the script should stop at the breakpoint
and you should be able to check the values of:

oldScript
newScript
checkScript
