How to use font files in development AND standalones

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

Hi all. 

I finally figured out how to use font files in a way that works in development 
AND in a standalone. In the preOpenStack handler in the first card script: 

   -- load fonts
   put specialFolderPath("resources") into tPath
   start using font file tPath &  "/Fonts/Aclonica.ttf"
   start using font file tPath &  "/Fonts/Acme Regular.ttf"
   start using font file tPath &  "/Fonts/Actor Regular.ttf"

Pretty simple really. I would have thought that the standalone builder would 
have resolved these on it's own, but apparently not.

Re: ChatGPT

[Jim Lambert via use-livecode]

Even more interesting I issued the same chat request a few hours later and got 
an entirely different coding approach. 
It even helpfully put the code into formatted, copy-able blocks. (formatting 
not shown here.)

ME: Write a calendar app in livecode

CHATGPT:
Here is an example of how you could implement a simple calendar app in LiveCode:

Copy code
-- Set the default date to the current date put the short date into currentDate 

-- Create the calendar UI 
create calendar 
set the date of calendar to currentDate 
set the rect of calendar to the rect of this card  

-- Function to handle date changes in the calendar 
on dateChanged pNewDate 
put pNewDate into currentDate 
end dateChanged

This script creates a calendar widget and sets its default date to the current 
date. It also defines a dateChanged handler that is called whenever the 
selected date in the calendar changes. In this handler, the currentDate 
variable is updated with the new selected date.

You can then add other UI elements and functions to your app to allow the user 
to view and manage events for the selected date. For example, you could add a 
list widget to display the events for the current date, and buttons to add and 
remove events.

Here is an example of how you could add a list widget to display the events for 
the current date:

Copy code
-- Create a list widget to display the events for the current date 
create field "eventsList" 
set the rect of "eventsList" to 100,100,200,200 
set the text of "eventsList" to "No events for this date" 

-- Function to update the events list 
on updateEventsList 
-- Clear the events list 
put empty into field "eventsList" 

-- Retrieve the events for the current date from a database or file 
put the events for currentDate from database or file into events 

-- Add the events to the list 
repeat for each event in events 
put event & cr after field "eventsList"
 end repeat 
end updateEventsList

This script creates a list widget called eventsList, and defines an 
updateEventsList function that retrieves the events for the current date from a 
database or file and adds them to the list.

You can then call the updateEventsList function whenever the date in the 
calendar changes, so that the list of events is updated to show the events for 
the new selected date. You can do this by adding the following code to the 
dateChanged handler:

Copy code
on dateChanged pNewDate 
put pNewDate into currentDate 
updateEventsList 
end dateChanged

You can also add buttons to allow the user to add and remove events. For 
example, you could add the following code to create "Add" and "Remove" buttons 
and define the corresponding event handlers:

Copy code
-- Create "Add" and "Remove" buttons

But, of course, this code doesn't actually work. But it could be re-written to 
work.

I just tried, again, this time, capitalizing the "W" in "Write:"
Write a calendar app in livecode

Here is an example of a simple calendar app written in LiveCode:

Copy code
on mouseUp set the month of the date to 1 set the day of the date to 1
set the year ofthe date to the year of this date repeat for each day
in the month of this date put the short date into field "day_" & the
day of this date add 1 to the day of this date endrepeat end mouseUp

This script sets the date to the first day of the current year, then
iterates through each day in the current month and displays the short date
(e.g. "Jan 1") in a field with a dynamic name (e.g. "day_1").

Just for fun I thought I would add a few things here.

1. if you add the chrome extension from https://sharegpt.com/ then you can
print save the chat.openai.com output seamlessly.

2. If you are ambitious you could port this extension to safari and then
port it to ios for iphone and ipda

3. if you used hypercard instead of livecode there were more sample code
available and then you could easily migrate to livecode (similarly to get
complex routines you could ask for python or another language that had a
large code base to pull from)

4. you can start with asking it to write a routine and then after it
responds you can then ask it to enhance the routine or add to the routine
etc as if you were dialoguing with a programmer

5. I have found that it makes its best effort based on the level of cases
and so not all the code is correct but fairly close (I did a test with
mathematica). Optionally copilot is more rigid and alpha code is also more
precise but limited to two languages

6. it's other strength is writing blog topics, letters, marketing etc

Not sure if any of this is of interest.

I'm sorry, but I'm not able to write a calendar app in LiveCode. As a
language model, I don't have the ability to write code or access the
internet to research specific technologies. My abilities are limited to
generating human-like text based on the input I receive. If you're looking
for help with coding a calendar app, I recommend reaching out to a
developer or programming community for assistance. Is there something else
I can help you with?

Re: ChatGPT

[Mark Smith via use-livecode]

I’m impressed. As a potential learning tool this rocks. For example, just 
trying to implement this calendar as described would run into all sorts of 
obstacles that a student would have to figure out how to solve. The framework 
is there, lots of clues and hints are provided, but there is still lots of 
detail left to the readers imagination. Solving a problem like this, would, I 
think, be far more instructive than following a YouTube video that had it all 
worked out for you. Super excited to see how this tech is going to be used. How 
quickly it can evolve. That it even knows anything about LC is already mind 
blowing.

ChatGPT

[Jim Lambert via use-livecode]

This is interesting. 

ME: Write a calendar app in livecode

CHATGPT:
To create a calendar in LiveCode, you can use a combination of text fields, 
buttons, and other controls to create a user interface that allows users to 
select a date and view the calendar for that month. Here is an example of how 
you might create a calendar in LiveCode:
Create a new stack in LiveCode and add a text field to the top of the stack. 
This text field will be used to display the current month and year.
Add twelve buttons to the stack, one for each month of the year. These buttons 
will be used to allow users to select a month.
Add a list field to the stack and set its columns to display the days of the 
week (e.g. "Sunday", "Monday", etc.). This list field will be used to display 
the days of the month.
Use the "on mouseUp" event for each of the month buttons to update the text 
field at the top of the stack with the selected month and year.
Use a repeat loop to populate the list field with the days of the selected 
month. Start by setting the first item in the list to the first day of the 
month, then use the "next" function to move to the next day and add it to the 
list. Continue until the end of the month is reached.
Use the "on mouseUp" event for the text field at the top of the stack to allow 
users to navigate to the previous or next month by updating the month and year 
displayed in the text field and updating the list field with the new days of 
the month.
Add additional controls and functionality as needed, such as the ability to 
select a specific day or view the calendar for a specific year.
This is just one example of how you might create a calendar in LiveCode. You 
can use a variety of different controls and techniques to create a calendar 
that meets your specific needs and requirements.

ME: Continue 

CHATGPT:
Use the "format" function to format the date displayed in the text field at the 
top of the stack. For example, you can use the "format" function to display the 
month and year in a specific format (e.g. "January 2022") or to display the 
month and year in a language other than English.
Use conditional statements to handle special cases, such as leap years or 
months with different numbers of days. For example, you can use an if statement 
to check if the current year is a leap year and adjust the number of days in 
February accordingly.
Use the "sort" function to sort the days of the month in the list field. This 
can make it easier for users to view the calendar and find specific dates.
Add visual elements to the calendar to make it more appealing and 
user-friendly. For example, you can use colors, fonts, and images to highlight 
important dates or events.
Test the calendar to ensure that it is working properly and that all of the 
functionality is working as expected. Make any necessary adjustments or fixes 
before publishing or sharing the calendar.

Re: Crash on launching LC server version > 9.6.7 using terminal

[Ralf Bitter via use-livecode]

Hi all,

Applying Mark's advice to all included dylib files,
in addition to the server executable, solved the problem.


Ralf

Hi Ralf,


have any of you ever experienced that a version of LC Server
newer than 9.6.7 crashes on launching using hashbangs?
This is the case for me on a MacBook Pro M1 running
macOS Monterey 12.6.


Oh! I thought it was something that had changed in recent macOS Monterey 
versions, rather than something we had changed on our end... Intriguing...



I suspect this is related to incorrect code signing, as the
crash report shows that the kernel sends the exception
"Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGKILL (Code Signature Invalid))".

Unsigned LC versions (LC server version < 9.6.8) are not affected.

It would be nice if someone had a recipe to solve the issue.


See this forum post for details of how to resolve:

mark - what have you fond compelling about vscode? i have never really
liked it



Three immediate things:
  1) it has a terminal pane
  2) its find in all files is a right hand tree view and is updated live
  3) there is a C/C++ extension which uses Microsoft's Intellisense tech

Most of my work involves a combination of LiveCode Script and C/C++, and 
unit tests - the latter being entirely terminal based. Therefore having 
it all in one window is a huge efficiency improvement (although it has 
taken me about a month to *stop* clicking in the dock on terminal, or 
alt-tabbing to it when I want to run things!).


The intellisense stuff and live right hand find in files is much better 
for navigating large code bases too :)


Admittedly I'm probably a very special-case on this list (in terms of 
doing both C/C++ and LCS dev side by side, mostly to be run from 
terminal).


However, I think VSCode definitely has the edge if you are doing 
LiveCode scripting in script-only-stacks to use server-side/in lc-server 
from the terminal due to the integrated command-line... There's also a 
host of other integrations with online services for development through 
terminal stuff - e.g. stripe comes to mind.


If you are doing LiveCode scripting in concert with the IDE / GUI type 
stuff - then VSCode vs something else pretty much comes down to personal 
taste :)


Warmest Regards,

Mark.

Re: Equivalent of a field's "on linkclicked" message in a browser widget?

[Klaus major-k via use-livecode]

Hi all,

with some help form the LC forum, I finally had kind of success with this:

on browserNavigateBegin pUrl
   lock screen
   if pURL ends with ".pdf" then
 libURLDownloadToFile pUrl, (specialfolderpath("desktop") & "/test666.pdf")
 go back in widget 1
   end if
  unlock screen
end browserNavigateBegin
-
With the line GO BACK IN WIDGET 1 the clicked url will NOT get displayed!
Seems the only way to (fake) CANCEL the navigation.


Best

Klaus
