Re: System Time Zone

Well, IDEALLY I would like a way that does not involve a lookup list, but I do not think that is possible. I already downloaded an official list of time zones in the proper format, and their standard and savings time offsets. That should be close enough. Another thing I can do is in a settings

I just tested on quartz.on-rev.com with LC Server 9.6.0. I've created a textfile with a size of 1mb. tested with this script and it worked. I even tested with put header instead of put new header. Which version of Safari do you have? > Am 14.09.2022 um 22:44

Re: [semi-OT] PDF on the fly

Hi guys, Thank you for your answers. No matter what I try, the problem remains the same on Safari. My LC script runs on my on-rev account, and it uses LC 9.6. Could this really be the problem ? Best, jbv ___ use-livecode mailing list

I just checked here with a script i am using for years to provide the download of a csv file and it still works with Version 15.6 (17613.3.9.1.5). Is that the newest version? This is my script: put header "Content-Type: application/text" put header "Content-Length:" & the number of chars of

RE: [semi-OT] PDF on the fly

How fortuitous... I just ran into this while doing JavaScript xhttp network requests to LC Server on Safari only. I just updated from LC Server 9.5.1. to 9.6.6. I saw it in Safari in iOS. Chrome in iOS worked OK. I went back to 9.5.1 and everything started working again in Safari. Do we possibly

Re: System Time Zone

That was my first thought too and I (erroneously) suggested the internet "time", which should have been "date". I found a ready-made lookup list and began experimenting. No go. You have to know whether the area is on daylight savings time because the offset changes. You also need to know the

Re: System Time Zone

It's not dead easy from the perspective of iCalendar syntax. Zones are defined by text strings. I will need a lookup table for that. Bob S On Sep 14, 2022, at 08:21 , Richmond via use-livecode mailto:use-livecode@lists.runrev.com>> wrote: That seems a bit unnecessary as 'internet date'

Re: System Time Zone

That seems a bit unnecessary as 'internet date' produces a format that includes the GMT offset. So when I write this in the messageBox:  put the internet date I get: Wed, 14 Sep 2022 18:19:18 +0300 and, obviously, from the +0300 it is dead easy to work out my system time zone. Love,

Re: System Time Zone

Does your app has preferences the user can enter? Why not allow him to enter also the sudo password? You could then use that to execute the following shell command: put shell("echo | sudo -S /usr/sbin/systemsetup -gettimezone") replace with the password in preferences. No need to use

Re: System Time Zone

Just for the sake of completeness, there is a way to get the time zone with AppleScript but it requires Administrator Privileges. The MacOS pops up a request to allow the “do as AppleScript” script to access the systemsetup function. That manual step will interfere with the flow of the program.
