Re: Threads in LC

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

That would be awesome. I really need to do this for the File Storage library I 
want to include in my app. Right now I just save the PDFs on my local HDD, and 
each client has it’s own subset of the files it creates. But if I could pass 
the binary data for the PDF over a client server system of some sort, I could 
centrally store and recall all the documents from ALL the clients, hence the 
beginnings of a Document Capture and Storage app written in LC.

Re: POST command does not work if Lock messages is set

[Neville Smythe via use-livecode]

For anyone wishing to follow this bug, it has been confirmed by QC at 

https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23058 


As for my other fake news problem with data size and POST, please forget I ever 
misspoke.
LiveCode Server is rather a steep learning curve with not a lot of examples out 
there, but I love it already.

Windows 10 app launch error - 'failed to load External: tsNet'

[Martin Koob via use-livecode]

Hi

I have a GLX Framework based application that I am trying to create an 
installer for Windows 10 using Inno Setup as explained here.
https://revolution.screenstepslive.com/s/revolution/m/10695/l/563371-signing-installers-you-create-with-inno-setup

This is the second Windows installer I am making.  The first time I made an 
installer for my first version of this app on Windows ultimately worked (after 
a bit of trial and error) and now I am using the same basic script settings to 
make the new installer for an update to my application.

In the LiveCode standalone application settings dialog Windows tab I selected 
Windows 64 bit so it is a 64 bit application.

The folder layout of the application is as follows
myApp.exe
->Externals
-mergJSON-x64.dll
-revxml.dll
-tsNet-x86_64.dll

Using Inno Script Studio I compile the script and that works with no problem.  
- I have a code signing certificate so the code is signed using the sign tool
- I looked at the “creating setup files message and I see that the external 
tsNet external is loaded.

Still when I try to launch my application I get a dialog titled ‘Initialization 
error’.  Its error message is ‘failed to load external: tsNet’

I thought it might be looking for the 32 bit version of the tsNet external, 
tsNet-x86.dll  so I added that to the Externals folder in addition to the 64 
bit version that I already had before running the compiler again.   Same result.


I found a similar issue in the forums but the fix was to update to the stable 
version of LiveCode 9.5.0. 

http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=33005&p=200295#p200295

I am using LiveCode 9.6.0 so unless there has been a regression that should not 
be the issue.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Best regards, 

Martin Koob

RE: Cmi5 eLearning Standard in LiveCode

Hi

Brian got me involved in the fall 2020 semester of the xAPI cohort.   I worked 
on a team that created a service to generate xAPI statements from a Zoom 
meeting using the Zoom API.   I learned a lot about the Zoom API, web hooks and 
xAPI statements.  

I have already signed up for the spring 2021 semester.

I would like to have a Zoom call for LiveCoders interested in this initiative.

The xAPI Cohorts have as one of the main activities projects which are worked 
on by teams.  The projects are then presented at the end of the semester.  
I joined Team Zoom last semester to work with people who were already involved 
in working with xAPI in diffferent capacities, programmers, education 
designers, educators to help be learn more about xAPI in general.  This did not 
have a LiveCode focus.

I worked with Brian’s team, Team MakeyMakey a bit on his project which had some 
focus on LiveCode.

One think I would like to see come out of this eventually is a LiveCode Library 
for generating xAPI statements and sending them to a Learning Record Store.  My 
ultimate goal is to have my application use such a library create such 
statements and integrate with a LRS and a LMS.   Possible projects would be a 
good topic for a pre semester Zoom meeting.

Roger,

I have been running a project during the FREE xAPI Cohorts, both the 2020 Spring 
& Fall sessions, where we’ve used LiveCode Comunity to send xAPI statements 
from input received via a MakeyMakey board to an LRS.

The LiveCode for this project is available as a GitHub download, and is usable 
by LiveCode Community. There are JavaScript libraries that I would like to make 
available internal to the stack, guidance on internalizing the HTML, CSS, and 
JavaScript would be appreciated.

The next xAPI Cohort begins February 4th, the live sessions are Thursdays at 2

Anyone who would like to learn about using LiveCode for xAPI, online learning 
and assessing training events is invited to join. Once you register for the 
xAPI Cohort, you will receive information on joining the xAPI Cohort Slack 
channel, and you should look for the #Discuss-Dev-LiveCode sub group to join, 
say hello, or reach out to me via slack.

If you like, we could look at building a CMI5 project in LiveCode as a getting 
started effort.
