Re: LiveCode server as OAuth2 client for APIs?

Hi Keith,

to avoid creating too much noise here, let's continue
the conversation on the revIgniter mailing list. You'll find my
answer there.

Hi Ralf,
Thanks for the guidance and updated formHelper script - and apologies to folks 
not using LiveCode Server or RevIgniter - I now realise this should have been 
posted on the use RevIgniter list.

I’ve now got a basic button that submits a form data post to the Salesforce 
authorisation server. However, there are a couple of issues, which are probably 
due to me misreading the user guide (again!) and/or getting confused over what 
markup goes into controller and view files for RevIgniter.

I’m using a controller file to prepare and add to the gData[] array both the 
form contents and submit button, which are then accessed in the view file, 
using the following...



In the controller file, I first used the recipe for ‘Adding Hidden Input 
Fields’ to create an array for the third ‘hidden’ parameter of the 
rigFormOpen() function. This worked as a POST but all the hidden fields are 
visible in the view file’s html. This is rather insecure for authentication, 
revealing consumer_id (and in future, client_secret, which I’ll need to add to 
increase security once basic access is proven).

So, I’m hoping the rigFormHidden(tData) recipe can keep the hidden content 
‘LiveCode-side' until post submission and out of the HTML. So far the hidden 
values don’t seem to be getting into the POST, as I’m getting an unsupported 
request type (so the ‘response_type=code’ is not being received).

I’m sure I am taking the wrong approach, as well as incorrect syntax in my 
controller handler - as if I understand things correctly, the way I’ve got 
parameter three of the rigFormOpen() call pointing at gData[‘hidden’] would, if 
successful, render the hidden contents visible in the view file’s html...

   # Prepare Salesforce login form
   
 # Load form helper library

 rigLoadHelper "form"
   
   # Prepare hidden parameter data array

 put “XXsomeClientIdXX" into aHidden["client_id"]
 put URLencode(“XXsomeRedirectURLXX") into aHidden["redirect_uri"]
 put "code" into aHidden["response_type"]
 put rigFormHidden(aHidden) into gData["hidden"]
 
 # Prepare form

 put rigFormOpen(“XXauthoirisationServerURLXX", “", gData["hidden"]) into 
gData["formOpen"]
 
 # Prepare submit button

 put "sfLoginBtn" into aData["name"]
 put "sfLoginBtn" into aData["id"]
 put "btn btn-primary" into aData["class"]
 put "submit" into aData["type"]
 put "Salesforce Login" into aData["value"]
 
 put rigSubmitButton(aData) into gData["submit"]
   
   # put "Topic1,Topic2,Topic3" into gData["ListItems"]


   get rigLoadView("homeMainView")

I’m probably making multiple newbie errors, but I’ve been unable to find any 
worked examples of RevIgniter controller and view file markup for form posting. 
So, I’d be obliged for any hints and tips.
Best,
Keith

Hi Keith,

using revIgniter you can always hard code the opening

However, your message has prompted me to change the
rigFormOpen() function so that you can override the
current URL with the value of an optional action
attribute included in the second parameter.
So, if you like, you can download the modified
version of the form helper at:

Re: Universal buttons: bugs or feature

These issues are fixed in the latest release version 1.4.0.

Hello all,

Recently I decided to try out a number of different button styles to see which ones 
I liked best, and I ran across some odd behaviour with “Universal” buttons. First, 
there does not appear to be any style difference between an enabled universal button 
and a disabled one. With all other button styles there is a noticeable difference 
between the enabled and disabled versions. More importantly (perhaps) with all other 
button types if you depress the mouse over the button then move the mouse off the 
button and release it it does not fire the button. With universal buttons if you 
move a depressed mouse off the button and then release it the button fires. And this 
behaviour does not appear to conform to Apple’s user interface guidelines "The 
mousedown event is fired at an Element when a pointing device button is pressed 
while the pointer is inside the element.”

Are these differences in the Universal button deliberate features or bugs? If 
features, why so?

Thanks

Re: Encoding in LC server - the final piece of the puzzle

[Ralf Bitter via use-livecode]

Neville, you need to send the header
before outputting anything else.
So, this means your LC server script
should send the header and then the HTML data.

That sounds exactly like the incantation I needed.

But I can’t get it to work.

The first 3 lines of my webPage.lc  file are





(Not sure that 3rd line is necessary with HTML5, but presumably it couldn’t 
hurt)

The header suggested just seems to be ignored when LC Server sends the output 
to Apache.  (Tried it with “put new header…” too after I found some 
documentation for the magic spell.)

The default setting for Apache on Dreamhost is naturally the native encoding 
ISO-8859-1.(Is there any way to override that with htaccess, since all my 
WordPress pages are served as utf-8 already?)

putting in the “” header at the top would do it, but no, LC 
Server apparently serves up html with charset=ISO-8859-1 (the native encoding) declared by 
default, and that overrides the header in the .lc file. The encoding declared was checked 
using "Rex Swains HTTP Viewer”. I am reasonably confident the actual content of the 
file is correct utf-8, since the Chinese glyphs are rendered as garbage ISO-Latin 
characters not as 

The next step was adding a line such as

AddCharset UTF-8 .lc

to .htaccess. No help. I note that other web pages on the server are created by 
WordPress, and they have the charset=utf-8 declared.

I presume I am ignorant of some environment setting which controls what 
HTTPHeader is declared in the output from LCServer? The obvious choice “the 
HTTPHeaders” but that is not the answer it seems.

[I know I can get individual unicode characters to render using html escapes such 
as  even when the  page is declared with a non-unicode encoding, but 
that is not a viable solution here.]

Members can edit their info. I use a form, with the action going to an

where vlink has the member's URL.

My Problem: If folk update their photos, their browser cache still shows

The photos are simply stored on the server, the database only stores the

Can any of the gurus here tell me how to get the page to ignore the

what is probably the largest LiveCode-backed website available on the net. He’s 
been a constant fixture here on the list for many years and many here been at 
some time or another worked with him on various projects. I’m sad to say that 
Brahmanathaswami passed away this week on Hawaii. His life has been full of joy 
among his beloved monks in a paradise Island full of love and sunshine.

I’ve worked with him there on and off for the best part of maybe 18 years 
(we’re not exactly sure when I started), he’s been a great friend and together 
we built many wondrous things with LiveCode. I’ll forever cherish those years, 
and I hope you all remember him fondly today as well.

Hi Mark,

thanks very much for taking the time. I made a note
of your comment at the time but did not catch stam's
subsequent comments (regarding the codesignature of
server dylib files).

Your instructions helped partially, as launching
LC server from the terminal did not crash the executable,
but using hashbangs still killed LC server. I will apply
the cp/rm/mv dance to all included dylib files and will
report if that solves the problem.

How do you load extensions to LC Server ?  On a shared web provider ?

You guessed it, use "load extension", example (tested on on-rev):

Re: arrayencode

[Ralf Bitter via use-livecode]

Hi Alex,

the JSONtoArray() function is part of the mergJSON external.
The README of this external describes how to use this function
and it's counterpart JSONtoArray as follows:


This external has been implemented to encode/decode UTF8 JSON to a LiveCode 
array as quickly as possible. Currently externals can not work with 
multi-dimensional LiveCode arrays so the intention is it is used with two 
functions like this:

-- pArray - array to be encoded
-- pForceRootType - can force the root to be an object if it looks like 
an array
-- pPretty - include whitespace
function ArrayToJSON pArray,pForceRootType,pPretty
   repeat for each key tKey in pArray
  if pArray[tKey] is an array then
 put "}"(pArray[tKey]) into pArray[tKey]
  end if
   end repeat
   return(mergJSONEncode("pArray",pForceRootType,pPretty))
end ArrayToJSON

function JSONToArray pJSON
   local tArray,tKeys
   repeat for each line tKey in mergJSONDecode(pJSON,"tArray")
  put JSONToArray(tArray[tKey]) into tArray[tKey]
   end repeat
   return tArray
end JSONToArray

For most cases the above is all the documentaion you will need. There are 
however some quirks to the external you might need to know about.



Another option would be to load the JSON extension and to use
the JsonImport() function.

Re: Would anyone miss convertOctals?

[Ralf Bitter via use-livecode]

On 09.06.22 14:44, Mark Waddingham via use-livecode wrote:
So I'm currently sitting here about to embark on fixing 
 (which is the final 
thing to sort out before being able to merge my constant expression 
patch) and I was reminded of 'convertOctals'.


Now, generally, I am somewhat averse to actually removing any language 
feature (even those we have deprecated, unless we absolutely have to!) - 
however, I would really like to make convertOctals have no effect at all 
in 10.0+ as it adds a disproportionate amount of complexity compared to 
(what I think, at least) its utility is (particularly in the context of 
things 'coming next' like the script compiler).


So three questions:

   1) Do you know what convertOctals is, and what it does?


Yes




   2) If you do, have you ever actually used it in any scripts which are 
actually still in use?


Yes, revIgniter uses "convertOctals" and "umask" dealing with access 
permissions of files and folders.




   3) If you do use it in any scripts which are still in use, would you 
be willing to change them to not use it?


Sure, I would exchange them with carrots.



   4) If you do use/have used it, had you ever noticed that it has been 
slightly broken for years?


I have to admit, no.



Now, its always better to offer a carrot when there is a stick (or in 
this case, an axe) being wielded and the carrot in this case would be to 
expand the numeric literal syntax to add both explicit octal and binary 
number literals alongside hexadecimal:


     0xabcdef - hex literal
     0o777 - octal literal
     0b101110101

The key difference between 0o777 and using 0777 (with convertOctals 
true) is that the former is not ambiguous at parse time, it doesn't 
require a runtime property set to true in order for the engine to 
convert the string to a number correctly.


Please let me know your thoughts :)

Warmest Regards,

Mark.

P.S. In the scheme of 'breaking changes' - we've already made a number 
of them for 10 already, and my gut tells me removing convertOctals is 
likely to cause less consternation than those we already have - but I 
could be wrong!

[ANN] New version of the "universal button" widget

[Ralf Bitter via use-livecode]

There is a new version of the "universal button" widget
which can be used as a replacement for the
segmented control widget.

There was an issue with round corners and wide borders
which was fixed by Bernd Niggemann, thanks Bernd.

Furthermore spacing between icon, text and border
has been optimized.

Re: Call lc from php?

[Ralf Bitter via use-livecode]

Hi Richard,

I agree to your comments, especially to
the first paragraph ;)

Joking aside, regarding CMS, CRS, LMS etc.,
I was thinking about developing a CMS based on
revIgniter for quite some time, just for the sake
of increasing the diversity, but stayed away from
doing it because, if done right, it is such a huge
task and because it would not pay my bills.

Todd Fabacher once started to develop a revIgniter
based CMS but I have no idea if it was ever released.

On 23.01.21 21:02, Richard Gaskin via use-livecode wrote:
revIgniter* is a wonderful framework, and one of most well-managed open 
source projects in our community.  Ralf has delivered a faithful 
re-envisioning of the popular WebIgniter framework for PHP, with some 
very savvy twists that make it a joy for LiveCode scripters.


But WebIgniter is far from PHP's only server framework, and I'd guess 
Ralf would agree that as valuable as revIgniter is, it isn't the only 
possible solution for every conceivable type of web site, app, or service.


Reproducing many well-established PHP packages in LC is more possible 
with frameworks like revIgniter than without.


But if the PHP package is sophisticated enough it'll be a lot of work.

And in many cases we're asked to extend systems we have no control over.

There are many good reasons to pursue integration with existing services 
rather than replacing the entire service from scratch.



With my interest in Nextcloud as a backend, for example, I could save a 
lot of time using revIgniter to build out self-signup. user permissions 
groups, password reset, WebDAV support, OAuth in both directions, 
headless REST, even federation, and an admin UI to manage it all. But 
with Nextcloud I get all that with one Snap command, so I can jump right 
into the client-side functionality which is my main interest on this 
project.


Similarly, some of my work these days has me integrating LC apps with 
popular CRMs - the good CRMs are very expensive to produce and not 
easily replicated, even with a great framework like revIgniter.



Like anything else in development, it's just another case of choosing 
the best tool for the task at hand.


For a wide range of projects, revIgniter is a perfect choice.

And when you need to integrate LC with an existing PHP system, we can do 
that too.




* For those of you who haven't seen Ralf's recent work on the revIgniter 
site, in addition to offering truly exemplary documentation I also 
appreciate the little touches he puts in, like the SVG intro animation 
for the top banner:

@ Ralf Bitter

Dear Ralf, I downloaded your segmented control from:
https://github.com/revig/universal-button-widget/releases/tag/1.0.1

and I installed the widget using the Extension Manager in the IDE.

It looks very nice. Exactly what allows control and even change the
behavior. First time users should know that the custom properties (as
described by you) are custom properties of the group "menuBtnGrp". For a
first time, two visible switches would probably allow users to just test
without having to look under the hood.

Since I must build such button groups dynamically (users can add or remove
modules which then appear put on the navigation bar that is constiung of
such "buttons") I will just need to script this a bit in more detail.

I also wrote my own bar using a table field where I mimic the hiliting and
hover (mouseover) effect when moving the mouse over lines or using arrow
keys (up and down. It looks like a button bar when using an image source
for a first character. But it does not work for SVG as far as I know. And
it only works for vertical "bars". On the other hand, it is very easy to
dynamically create and remove lines. Actually, I track the mousemove and
detect the line number and then place a transparent graphic over the
selected line. This gives more control than using the built-in hilited
property.  If someone is interested, I can send...

So, thanks a lot to you for providing this, and I am sure I will have fun
using it...

mouseUp, mouseEnter, mouseLeave, etc.

Is there anybody working on such widgets and updating them to newer
versions? Is there a version history for each widget?

The documentary of the widget (widgets) in the Dictionary could be enhanced
with a first date of appearance and dates of new versions as well as
enhancement requests or planned enhancements? I assume the author is
LiveCode Ltd.?

Hi Martin,

I agree with your proposed approach. But keep in mind
that you can upgrade revIgniter directly to the latest version
as long as you go the upgrade route as described in the user guide,
see Upgrading from 1.10.3 to 2.0.0. The description applies
to your case even if you upgrade from version 1.7.1 to 2.1.5.
There is no need for intermediate steps like upgrading to 2.0,
then 2.0.1, 2.0.2 etc.

If your server environment is 64bit and you upgrade your
revIgniter installation to 2.x then from my point of view there
is no reason not to use the latest stable LC server version.
In any case the revIgniter version 2.x requires LC server 9.0
or higher.

Hi Martin,

don’t know if the issue is somehow related
to the new server environment as I am not
familiar with LiteSpeed Web Server. The
permissions (644) for the files in drivers and externals
should be OK (just check that the permissions
for these folders are set to 755).
Did you try to load a simple lc file without

Hi Riko,

don’t know where the uncertainty comes from. May be because
the official site was closed for maintenance purposes.
Yesterday I happened to find out that the value of the
$_GET variable has changed for some reason without
any effort on my part. This caused a “Page not found”
error because the retrieval of the URI string was based
on the $_GET variable. Fixed the issue by changing
the URI protocol setting and everything is fine again.

revIgniter is alive and kicking.
In case you have any questions regarding revIgniter don’t
hesitate to ask.
I recommend to use the revIgniter discussion list:

Thanks for the info Todd. This explains why I had

OK, in case you are interested in all the headers the
server sends in response to a request you might indeed probably
find the answer by checking out the code in revliburl.livecodescript.
But just including the script only stack (using “start using stack”)
won’t work right away. Seems there are modifications needed
to be able to get a value from libURLLastRHheaders().
Would be glad to be wrong.

Please correct me if I am on the wrong track, but to my
understanding the issue is related to reading
the Authorization request header sent by an app to
the server. In this case there is a server variable
$_SERVER["HTTP_Authorization"] which can be read
by LC server. Of course there is no  $_SERVER["HTTP_Authorization"]
in the docs.

Lagi, sorry for not expressing myself well. Of course I
meant the whole process including reading HTTP
headers on the server.
This means $_SERVER["HTTP_Authorization"]
should not be empty in your case

Todd, sending Authorization HTTP request headers

Richard, I found the “Server Deployment Release Notes” revision 18.
It includes all you need to know about sessions using LC server.
If that is what you are looking for I can send it to you.

 There are definitely ways to do it in Atom too.
 Here is how I managed to send notifications to
 a Levure application running in the LiveCode IDE
 using Atom:
 
 - Installed the atom-shell-commands package.
 This is needed to call a shell script every time you
 save a .livecodescript file in Atom.
 
 - Wrote a LC script which is called by the atom-shell-commands
 package. This script writes to the socket the Levure
 script external_editor_server.livecodescript listens to.
 
 - Configured atom-shell-commands (added arguments, a keymap
 and the path to the shell script).
 
 - That's it, works like a charm.
 
 Note: Of course, you could use a modified version of the Python
 script notify_levure_app_of_save.py included in Trevor's LC
 Sublime Text package. But as I know nothing about Python I chose
 the LC route and as a variant the PHP route.
 
 You can find scripts and a configuration example here:
 
 https://gist.github.com/revig
 
 Note: There is a PHP version and a LC version. I you prefer to
 use the LC shell script version you need the modified version of
 external_editor_server.livecodescript.
 This is because the LC version uses UDP sockets as there is an
 issue with writing to sockets on LC server.

Re: Troubleshooting revIgniter library functions

[Ralf Bitter via use-livecode]

Hi Keith,

seems that you have overlooked that your library  
handler is not a function, see line  

put somehandler() into gData["testlib"]

in your controller.  

Furthermore don’t forget to adjust the name of your library  
initialisation handler to “rigRunInitialteslibConfig”.

Re: Troubleshooting revIgniter library functions

[Ralf Bitter via use-livecode]

Hi Keith,

if you change the name of your library to Testlib.lc
and if you adjust the name in your controller respectively
all should work as expected.
There is a naming convention for library files, i.e.
camel case is not allowed, but it seems this is not
mentioned in the user guide.
Sorry for the hassle. Will fix that.

Re: Troubleshooting revIgniter library functions

[Ralf Bitter via use-livecode]

Hi Keith,  

in addition to Andre’s valuable tips I would like  
to comment that your approach should actually work,  
but be advised to make sure you include your custom  
library as described here:  

https://revigniter.com/userGuide/general/creating_libraries.html  

Furthermore you can leave your function as is i.e.  
call your library function within your DocLogin.lc controller like:  

put myDocLoginHandler() into gData["doc_token"]

For debugging purposes make sure the logs folder is writable,  
set the gConfig["logThreshold"]  in config.lc to 4 and check the  
log file in case something goes wrong.

in the business version.

Think this subject I mentioned for the sake of completeness
is something you can set aside. I would be happy if the
features advertised would work at least on LC server for Linux.

Re: What exactly does the status pending in Livecode Quality Control Center mean

[Ralf Bitter via use-livecode]

Panos, did tsNet tests only on localhost like you,
using 64-bit Ubuntu 16.04 and 64-bit Ubuntu 16.04 Server.

In a nutshell following the results of my tests:

- There is bug 18961. An issue regarding tsNetSendCmd() is presumably related. 
Other Indy features work as expected.

- Although the business version licensing error is fixed the business features 
still don’t work.
  (As soon as I have enough spare time I will start filing bug reports, one by 
one.)

- On On-Rev using LC server 9 tsNet does not work at all because glibc needs to 
be upgraded as I was told by support.
  Custom directives in ~/.bashrc didn’t help, these seem to be ignored by 
Apache.

- Don’t think about using tsNet in a LC server / Mac OS environment.

Levure - flicker prior to displaying UI stack on iOS

[Ralf Bitter via use-livecode]

Currently I am developing an iOS app for iPad using
Trevor DeVore’s awesome Levure framework.

Unfortunately I am observing an annoying screen flicker
during the startup sequence while the UI stack is opened
and the Levure standalone is closed.
The iOS splash screen, as defined in settings, is shown,
then for a fraction of a second the screen is black just before
the UI stack becomes visible. This happens not only in the
simulator but on a real device (iPad Pro) too.

Did tests using a very simple UI stack, no code included, just
one card showing an image which is the same as the splash
screen so that the transition from the splash screen to the
UI stack should not be noticeable.

Probably this is not a Levure issue, may be this is the way
splash stack project setups behave on iOS.

Anyway, does anybody know how this flicker can be avoided?
Would be a great pity if I would have to ditch the Levure route.

Re: Livecode 9 Server seems not to run when custom installed on On-Rev and HostM

[Ralf Bitter via use-livecode]

Hi Matthias,

to get LC server 9 running on On-Rev I was told by the support team:

“We can't upgrade glibc because of operating system incompatibilities. However, 
we have installed it along side the current 2.12 version at  
/opt/glibc-2.14/bin”

This means you have to launch the server executable with the glibc location
prepended to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

So, I put

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/glibc-2.14/bin:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
path/to/livecode-server

towards the end of ~/.bashrc, but this didn’t help.


By the way, even my 32bit LC 9 business version installation fails on Diesel.
Did you install the community version?

mergDoc - no preview, no sharing

[Ralf Bitter via use-livecode]

Is there anybody who can confirm that the iOS external
mergDoc plays nicely in an iOS 11.2 or iOS 11.3.1 environment?

I am particularly interested to know if handler mergDocShowPreview
and “Copy to …” share extensions using mergDocShowOpenInMenu
or the share button work.

My tests using the mergDoc.livecode demo in LC 9.0 as well as in LC 8.1.10
produced the following results so far:

Files tested: .docx, ppsx, .txt, .pages, .pdf, .png

Device: iOS 11.2 on iPad Pro 10.5 inch

mergDocShowPreview worked for .png files only
“Copy to …” share extensions using mergDocShowOpenInMenu
or the share button fails although mergDocCanOpen() returns true,
the modal just shows the file name and “Office Open XML show” for
.ppsx files as an example

Simulator: iOS 11.2 on iPad Pro 10.5 inch

mergDocShowPreview works for all files
“Copy to …” share extensions using mergDocShowOpenInMenu
or the share button can not be tested


Device: iOS 11.3.1 on iPad Air

mergDocShowPreview works for all files
“Copy to …” share extensions using mergDocShowOpenInMenu
or the share button fails although mergDocCanOpen() returns true,
the modal just shows the file name and “Office Open XML show” for

Hi Panos,

I know that tsNetVersion() yielding an error is fixed.

But does this really mean that all  tsNet Business

Just did tests (got my files from the shelf) using

Synchronous flavours worked as expected.

Re: Is anyone using tsNet external with LCserver?

[Ralf Bitter via use-livecode]

Be aware of these issues
- Using tsNetGet() on LC server to request a files list
from a FTP server returns nothing, so tsNetRetrData() is empty.

http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=18961

related, but didn't write a separate report:
- Using tsNetSendCmd() on LC server to send an asynchronous
command to a FTP server returns empty without executing
the command.

And don't expect to get access to the extended feature set
of tsNet Business on LC server. Seems there is no way to activate
a business license for tsNet on server, don’t think this has changed.
For what it’s worth, this and the issues mentioned above are
the reasons why my half-finished revIgniter FTP library is waiting
on the shelf since about one year.

Re: Livecode Content Management System

[Ralf Bitter via use-livecode]

Hi Alex,

here are my offhand and fairly blunt thoughts on your undertaking.
First of all I think that the primary challenge in building a CMS, no matter
if you use LiveCode, PHP or whatever, is to provide a tool for an audience
which is not that tech-savvy.
So, the process of managing web content should be made extremely
simple. In my opinion to achieve this goal it is crucial that the CMS
allows for most of the tasks inline editing in a very convenient way.
But all this means that the front-end is not less important than the
back-end and besides developing the back-end using LC, based on
revIgniter or not, one has to be prepared to write a lot of JavaScript code.
Personally I was thinking about developing a CMS for quite some time
but stayed away from doing it because it is such a huge task and
because it would not pay my bills.

Regarding Bootstrap: I like Bootstrap but in times of flexbox and
CSS grids I have a slight feeling that Bootstrap could become more
and more dispensable for your purpose, especially as you mentioned
that you try to reduce complexity.

Re: Rant on my favourite topics : LC server with a side-dish of on-rev :-)

[Ralf Bitter via use-livecode]

Hi Alex,

you should find the JSON extension in:  

Tools/Extensions/com.livecode.library.json/module.lcm  

If you use revIgniter create a folder “extensions” in your  
application folder and place the “com.livecode.library.json”  
folder including the “module.lcm” file there.  

Then load the extension in your controller using:  

rigLoadExtension "com.livecode.library.json"

and you are done, see:  

https://revigniter.com/userGuide/general/extensions.html

Indeed, LC server Business does not differ from LC server Indy.

LC server yields an error on Ubuntu 16.04 Lts using any

This is strange as there is no licensing issue with the Indy version.
Seems the business license being valid needs to be approved

tsNetInit and LiveCode server

[Ralf Bitter]

Is the tsNet external working with LiveCode server?

Did tests using server version 8.1.1 rc2 on Mac OS X 10.11.6.
Seems that initialization (tsNetInit) doesn't work.
The result of tsNetGetSync is "tsneterr: Not initialised" although
tsNetInit is called prior to calling any other tsNet handlers as
described in the docs.

Re: [revIgniter] revIgniter and LC8

[Ralf Bitter]

Sorry for coming late. The superfluous "then" keyword in
system/libraries/Input.lc -> _rigValid_ipv4() was overlooked
because server engine versions prior to 8 were forgiving and
didn't complain.
The bug is fixed since version 1.7.2. So, all of you who use
older versions need to fix this in case you intend to upgrade
the server engine to version 8.
Anyhow I recommend to update revIgniter to the latest version.


Warm regards

Ralf

Kay, if you see legal, lorem, module etc. this means that you
have chosen the "LiveCode Builder" syntax. In this case you
are right, there is no "switch" snippet.
In case you would like to write code for LiveCode server
you should choose "iRev". Then there is "switch" and lots of
other snippets.

Warm regards

Assuming you did choose the revIgniter theme from
the "Syntax Theme" dropdown in the "Themes" section
of the preferences I have no clue what's going on.

Re: [OT] Atom Text Editor for Script Editiing - First Impressions

You are right, I use custom packages, mainly to keep
revIgniter stuff separat from LiveCode server syntax.
But I disabled my packages, enabled the one provided

So, assuming you use the latest version (0.5.1) I am at a loss.

Hi Roger

no separate download needed. You can install themes (and packages)
within Atom in the "Install" section of the preferences.

Hi Kay,

actually there is a snippet for "switch", so
typing "s", "sw", "swi" etc. followed by a tab
should work, really. Then a placeholder for the
switch expression is selected. Subsequent
tabs select the first case value, the related
line of code and the placeholder for the
"default" code .

Re: How to show the Windows 8 on screen keyboard in LiveCode?

[Ralf Bitter]

Hi Ralf,

the following code lets the Windows on screen keyboard appear (needed
for applications used in desktop mode:

--
set the hideConsoleWindows to true

# USE WINDOWS POWERSHELL
set the itemDel to \
put item 1 to -2 of $PSModulePath  \powershell.exe into tPowerShellPath
set the shellCommand to tPowerShellPath

get shell(start '  $CommonProgramW6432  \microsoft shared\ink\TabTip.exe')
--

Note the use of single and double quotes!


Sorry for soliloquizing but I thought this could be useful for others too.

 Hi LiveCoders
 
 Today I am releasing updates for all the mergExt externals to add iOS 8.1

 I am also realising a major update to mergNotify to support OS X. The 
 external not supports posting NSNotifications (note these are not the 
 user/push notifications supported in the engine). The main reason we would 
 want to do this is on OS X where we can post and observe notifications using 
 the distributed notification center. This means you can have multiple apps on 
 the one machine and post notifications that the others might observe. A 
 notification is just a named event that you might be interested to know about.
 
 Please note that there is currently a known bug in LiveCode 6.7 that impacts 
 the performance of the external on OS X on Yosemite.

Re: Is someone using Coda 2 with syntax highlighting for livecode server scripts?

[Ralf Bitter]

Peter,

code colorization (as well as code completion) is implemented solely for
server related parts of the language because the bundle is meant to be used
for working with LiveCode server files.
So, if you add ?lc or ?rev or ?livecode at the top of your code, 
colorization
should work (with restrictions as mentioned above).

 I can tell it's recognized as an LC script because things like com-tab,

 Maybe there's more work involved to get it working with the desktop.

CEF browser - how to allow cross origin requests using the file:// protocol?

[Ralf Bitter]

As you might know the new CEF browser doesn't support
access to local files (file://) using XMLHttpRequest.
Of course, JSONP would be a solution but not in my
special case.

I need to display local Keynote presentations (exported to HTML).
Keynote uses JSONP in case the protocol is file://. So, this
works with CEF. But there is one problem:
There is an annoying flicker on slide transitions. Same problem
with Chrome, this is nothing special with CEF in LiveCode and this
does not depend on the kind of transition.

Now, if you use a server and http://, Keynote uses Ajax and transitions
work fine. This means I need to remove the JSONP option and
tell the CEF browser somehow to allow cross origin requests
using the file:// protocol. With Chrome this can be achieved by using
a -–allow-file-access-from-files command line switch.

Does anybody know how to set this flag for the CEF browser
in LiveCode?

 It could be a fixed command line argument that is added if no-one is

 LiveCode that lets you add to this argument list before you create a new

Re: New browser

[Ralf Bitter]

Hi Jacqueline,

in case you mean the ability to call a LiveCode
handler from within the browser using the new
revBrowserAddJavaScriptHandler command and
not the other way round (like using revBrowserExecuteScript)
my finding is that this works as expected.

As an aside I noticed that on Mac the performance
of JavaScript animations, which are pretty smooth
using the current revBrowser external, is extremely bad.
Hope this will change.

Apart from that I am really happy with
the move to a modern browser component.
