Andre,

Your the closest yet to what I was thinking about.  I did not think it was a 
good idea to have the cue sheets rebuilt on the server.   I was going to 
rebuild them on the desktop and push them to the server thru a special endpoint.

Let me study the links you provided and well see if they will do the trick.

Thank to all for helping!  I’m learning all sorts of stuff!  It great.

HostM does support rsync but you have to request SSH to be enabled.

I was able to get an sftp client to work.  Im not sure if LiveCode supports 
sftp.

I just sent a request to HostM to see if they support rsync.  If they do then 
one option would be to create all of the pdfs and csv on the mac then rsync 
them to the server.  This leads me down a new set of unknowns... How do you set 
up rsync? I assume that there is some configuration required on both the mac 
and server.

Re: Web help needed

[Mike Doub via use-livecode]

The server is hosted on HostM and they are very good a keeping Livecode Server 
current. I am assuming it is a Unix variant of some sort.  My desktop is a mac.

Let me tell you the details of what I am trying to do.   I have written a tool 
in livecode that takes a RideWithGPS route and generates a pdf and .csv files 
for the cue sheet.  (basic turn by turn instructions for cycling the route.)  
This tools sits on the server side and processes requests via a form.   
Basically 1 route at a time.

There are some 950 routes that are in my cycling clubs archive on RideWithGPS.  
I am looking to generate updated pdf and csv files for all of the routes.  I 
was thinking about just cycling thru each of the routes, create the pdf and csv 
on my mac and just push the files onto the server.   It is the push them onto 
the server that I don’t know how to do.   I am looking for some guidance on 
both the mac and server side.

Thanks Richard.   I guess I was not clear.   I was looking for the best ways to 
do the file transfer with LiveCode and LiveCode server.

Web help needed

[Mike Doub via use-livecode]

I am a rookie at web stuff.  I have a couple of end point api’s set up to use 
with simple forms.  Got that working with .lc file that starts using a LiveCode 
stack that does the work.

I need to move hundreds of files from my desktop Mac to my server.   I’m 
looking for advise as to how best to do this.  I was thinking about creating an 
endpoint on my server that my desktop app would use.  But, I don’t understand 
how that might work.

I need some help for some experience web folks.  How do I go about moving 
files?   Most of them are text, but I would like to understand how to deal with 
binary files too (thinking images).  All of the examples I see are for a user 
interface form and that does not make sense for the number of files I need to 
move.

Thanks in advance.

Re: DataGrid question...

[Mike Doub via use-livecode]

There is an interesting interaction between the scrolling function, the size of 
the field, mouseUp or Down.  For my test, when I click the 6th column, 
scrolling occurs and the function returns nothing.  If I size the field such 
that no scrolling occurs, all works as expected.   If I change the mouseUp to 
mouseDown, all works as expected.   I have not spent the time to figure out 
what is going on, but these are my observations.

Re: Libraries To Contribute

[Mike Doub via use-livecode]

Guys,  I would love to get the contents of the Master Library into github,  but 
that is beyond my technical ability.  

I created the library so I had 1) an index/table of contents and 2) the ability 
to only pull into my projects what I needed.   I also wanted to give back to 
the people on this list that had helped me for so long.  

If you can figure our how to do it,  I'm game,  but you will have teach this 
old dog some new tricks.  

-= Mike

Right now the most comprehensive collection I know of is Michael Doub's 
Master Library:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/3wpwn3hfbmpl7sk/MasterLibrary.livecode?dl=0

It might be nice if that was extended to pull from Github resources - a 
good community project perhaps?

In lieu of that, posting it on Github is very useful:  easy to search, 
and the more LC repos we see the more likely we'll see LiveCode on the 
TIOBE index more often.

In fact, any and all LiveCode resources clearly marked as being about 
"LiveCode" will help LC get the attention it deserves on the TIOBE Index:

Re: Problem with converting time

[Mike Doub via use-livecode]

I am in Chapel Hill,  NC.   I am using Hostm and I really don't know,   I would 
have expected the time to be less if on the west coast of the US.

Humor me: what city is your server in, and what city are you in?

Re: Livecode HTML5 networking question

[Mike Doub via use-livecode]

I just did a test using the local python server and it did not work,  so it 
looks like the support is not there yet.

I had thought GET and POST were added to the HTML exports recently, no?

Re: Livecode HTML5 networking question

[Mike Doub via use-livecode]

Bob,  I understand that.  You misunderstood my question.  If I use that 
statement in app,  save it as am html5 app,  will the app function? 

The documentation says networking is not supported.  What exactly does that 
mean?  Is the statement in question, networking?

That is not HTML5. That is a standard Livecode function that has been around 
since version 1.0.

Livecode HTML5 networking question

[Mike Doub via use-livecode]

I was thinking about putting together a little weather app and trying the
html5 feature of livecode.  I read that networking is not supported.   Does
that mean that the following is not supported?

put URL  ("https://api.darksky.net/forecast/"; & mykey & "/" & LatLon) into
wData

If not my project is going on hold.

Thanks in advance.
