Re: [OT] Website Design Apps-Mac

Hi Randy,

I recommend Karelia Software Sandvox 2.  It’s easy to learn with lots of help 
info.  It’s easy to switch between templates.  I’ve been able to add to and 
maintain 2 websites with many pages of content.  See the Macworld review. 

Best,

I have to admit that because of my very limited knowledge in this area I had 
skipped Wordpress. My understanding was that it was software for “blog” 
building. However, given your comment, I’ll check it out.

 Hi,
  
 i can recommend RapidWeaver from Realmac Software 
 (https://www.realmacsoftware.com/rapidweaver/

 There´s even a trial version available for download.
  
 There are a lot of free and paid 3rd party extensions, themes and stacks* 
 available for RW.
  
 *to use stacks you will need to purchase the Stacks plugin from YourHead 
 (http://yourhead.com ).
 There´s also a trial version available.
  
 I´ve created quite a lot of sites with it. I can send you the url of some 
 sites i´ve created. So you can see what can be done with it.
 Send me a private mail if you are interested. I do not want to post them

Re: How to Force Group to Show on Top of Browser Widget

[James Little]

As a workaround, can you toggle the browser widget to hide / show?

on MouseUp

if the flag of me then
   show widget “myBrowser”
   set the flag of me to not the flag of me
else
   hide widget “myBrowser”
   set the flag of me to not the flag of me
end if

end MouseUp

Re: LC 8 dp 14 Browser Widget not "obeying" position instructions

Hi BR,

Lock and unlock screen seemed to be interfering with browser widget positioning 
in my case.  You might try without any lock / unlock screen.

Re: knowing when a browser page has loaded

[James Little]

Hi Colin, 

If the Dictionary for DP14 is set on “API” and the drop down menu in the upper 
L corner is set on “Browser”, I see as one of the choices:

browserDocumentLoadComplete

TypemessageSyntaxbrowserDocumentLoadComplete pUrl
Associationscom.livecode.widget.browserSummarySent when a document has 
completed loading in the browser.Parameters
NameTypeDescription
pUrlstring  
The URL of the loaded document.
Description
The browserDocumentLoadComplete message is sent to the widget's script object 
when a new document has completed loading in the browser. The pUrl parameter 
contains the URL of the loaded document.

Again, I have not tried this, so I don’t know for sure that it is working.

Try  BrowserNavigateBegin  pURL

Turn on Message Watcher as you interact with the widget.

Re: Web Browser in LC 8

[James Little]

Hi BR,

I have not tried the browser widget on mobile.  

If you have any use for a tree view, consider trying the tree view widget with 
arrays.   Set the arraydata of widget “MyTreeView” to tArray  

Another trick I learned from an early Kevin Miller video was to turn on 
“Message Watcher” under “Development” of the Livecode Menubar.  You can see 
what messages the widget receives as you interact with it.

Re: Web Browser in LC 8

[James Little]

Hi BR,

I’m having good luck with LC8 DP14.  I just posted our latest beta of the 
Global Warming Reader at  GlobalWarmingApps.org/GlobalWarmingReader.html

This uses the browser widget and 2 tree view widgets.  

Use the drop down menu in the upper left hand corner of the Dictionary to get 
more info on “Browser”.

It is much easier to use this widget than the prior coding of the browser.  set 
the url of widget “MyBrowser” to “http://livecode.com”

Re: Livecode on MIT Climate Co-Lab

[James Little]

Hi All,

There are 18 days remaining to further develop this project on the MIT Climate 
Co-Lab site.  
http://climatecolab.org/web/guest/plans/-/plans/contestId/1303501/planId/1327125

This project is to use Livecode to develop Global Warming News Readers.  The 
goal is to use this desktop app to educate a cadre of informed, trusted 
messengers around the world, who can teach their families, friends, neighbors 
and politicians about the actions that are needed to address climate change.   

I argue that Livecode is the best programming language to develop this:
- It’s free and open-source for developing this free app.
- It’s rapid development software that is relatively easy to learn.
- Livecode provides abundant assistance with tutorials and forums.
- There’s a world-wide, active user community that support developers.
- The source code can be distributed and modified to customize the app for 
different locales. 

Any suggestions?  I’m an old mediocre Livecode programmer.  I would welcome 
seeing some more sophisticated Global Warming Readers from our more talented 
LIvecoders.  Up-votes for this project would be appreciated.  

I’ve posted a beta 1.0 version of a Global Warming Reader, developed with 
Livecode 8.0, DP12 at:   http://globalwarmingapps.org/downloads.html  The 
source code is also posted. 

I will post a beta 2.0 version later this week developed with 8.0, DP14.  This 
uses a widget “Tree View” to simplify the user interface.  

Working with 8.0, DP14 is a pleasure.

Best, 

Jim

Livecode on MIT Climate Co-Lab

[James Little]

Hi All,

There are 18 days remaining to further develop this project on the MIT Climate 
Co-Lab site.  
http://climatecolab.org/web/guest/plans/-/plans/contestId/1303501/planId/1327125

This project is to use Livecode to develop Global Warming News Readers.  The 
goal is to use this desktop app to educate a cadre of informed, trusted 
messengers around the world, who can teach their families, friends, neighbors 
and politicians about the actions that are needed to address climate change.   

I argue that Livecode is the best programming language to develop this:
- It’s free and open-source for developing this free app.
- It’s rapid development software that is relatively easy to learn.
- Livecode provides abundant assistance with tutorials and forums.
- There’s a world-wide, active user community that support developers.
- The source code can be distributed and modified to customize the app for 
different locales. 

Any suggestions?  I’m an old mediocre Livecode programmer.  I would welcome 
seeing some more sophisticated Global Warming Readers from our more talented 
LIvecoders.  Up-votes for this project would be appreciated.  

I’ve posted a beta 1.0 version of a Global Warming Reader, developed with 
Livecode 8.0, DP12 at:  http://globalwarmingapps.org/downloads.html  The source 
code is also posted. 

I will post a beta 2.0 version later this week developed with 8.0, DP14.  This 
uses a widget “Tree View” to simplify the user interface.  

Working with 8.0, DP14 is a pleasure.

Best, 

Jim

Re: Global Warming Reader App,

[James Little]

Dear Livecoders,

Could someone test the Windows version of the Global Warming Reader.  Updated 
Windows & Mac desktop versions are at:   

http://globalwarmingapps.org/downloads.html 

I’ve posted the livecode source code at:  
http://globalwarmingapps.org/source-code.html  

Pardon a few basic questions:   Can a user open this Livecode file in a 
Community version, though it was developed in an Indy version?   

To make this available to a Windows user, I assume that I would need to 
duplicate this program on a Windows machine.  Correct?

I could use some up-votes on the MIT Climate CoLab site (you must register 
first, which takes 30 seconds):

http://climatecolab.org/web/guest/plans/-/plans/contestId/1303501/phaseId/1313706/planId/1327125

We need informed, trusted messengers, who can talk with family, friends, 
neighbors about the solutions to climate change and who can correct 
misinformation.  My hope is that Global Warming News Readers, developed at 
multiple sites around the world can create these trusted messengers and keep 
them informed.

“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,  Nothing is going to get 
better. It’s not.”  Dr. Seuss, The Lorax 

“So in Paris, the UN has finally delivered.  Now it’s up to the nations, 
companies, civil society and all our institutions - from universities, 
churches, hospitals, service agencies and local governments - to immediately 
and aggressively move this effort forward.  If we sit back, Paris’ words will 
remain just that.  Rather, we need to lean forward, to lead a nearly wartime 
mobilization of efforts to switch to clean energy, to transform our economies 
away from fossil fuels.  Besides averting planetary-scale disaster for our 
species, the co-benefits of that transformation will be many, including the 
creation of great numbers of jobs, major benefits to public health and 
ecological systems, and greater international stability as we move away from 
the price volatility and political combustibility of fossil fuels.  Paris may 
be an historic turning point in that effort.”Timmons Roberts

“…The best way to … improve civilization’s future prospects is for civil 
society all over the world - climate justice advocates, community and religious 
leaders, business and financial executives - to push harder that ever to turn 
the noble but non-binding aspirations declared in Paris into rapid, concrete 
transformations of our energy, agriculture, consumerist, and other 
socioeconomic systems.”  Mark Hertsgaard 

My wife prefers the quote from the movie “The Martian”:  we need “to science 
the shit out of this thing.”  In reality, innovation will be one major part of 
the solution but we need thousands of interventions at an individual, local, 
national and international level.  We need silver buckshot, not a silver 
bullet, to paraphrase Al Gore. 

Thanks for any input.

Global Warming Reader App, Recruiting Collaborators

[James Little]

Hi Livecoders,

The U.N. COP21 Conference in Paris this past December secured a remarkable 
international agreement of over 190 nations to cut carbon emissions and to 
limit global warming to less than 2 deg C.  But now the hard part begins, to 
ensure that individuals, corporations and nations limit carbon emissions and 
transition to clean energy.  This requires mass education, dialogue and 
political action.  It requires correcting misinformation.  My hope is that 
Livecode programmers can play a role is assisting with this challenging global 
transition. 
I’ve posted a project on MIT Climate CoLab to develop a Global Warming Reader 
App using Livecode.  I invite all to register and add comments.  We have 30 
days to finalize this project.

http://climatecolab.org/web/guest/plans/-/plans/contestId/1303501/phaseId/1313706/planId/1327125

I’ve posted a beta Global Warming Reader App at  
GlobalWarmingApps.org/downloads.html  with downloads for Mac & Windows desktop. 
 The Mac download mostly works by my testing, though there are still some bugs. 
 I’ve not been able to test the Windows version, as yet.  Please let me know of 
any bugs you find.  

My son Todd says the user interface is old school.  I’m beginning to use the 
push button and tree view widgets to try to modernize the UI.  

If you would like to improve on this app, please email me 
(j...@globalwarmingapps.org) and I will send you a link to download the 
livecode file.  It is being developed using 8.0 DP12.  

The basic idea of the MIT Climate CoLab project is to develop the best possible 
Global Warming Reader App over the next 6 months.  Please consider improving on 
the app that I’ve started or starting anew and developing an app from scratch. 

Regards,

Jim L

Re: Global Warming Reader App, Recruiting Collaborators

[James Little]

Hi Bill,

Thanks for your input.

The current Global Warming Reader App consists of 2 lists of websites, 
organized by category (Activism, Communication, Denial, Economics, Global, 
Individual, National, News, Oceans, Solutions, Science, …).  One list includes 
“All" the sites that I’ve found that I thought were useful.  The second list is 
a selected list of what I thought were the “Best” sites.  They can be launched 
in the user’s browser or in a widget browser within the app.  

The other component is a list of notes, organized by topic (Advocacy, 
BlogComments, Communication, Economics, Justice, Politics, Science, Solutions … 
).

The user can add or delete from either list of websites and can add or delete 
notes.  Thus, they can customize the app to their locale and their particular 
interests.  The website lists and notes are stored as arrays in custom 
properties of card 1 of the substack.

I find this reader particularly useful for keeping up on news about global 
warming and for taking personal notes. I find it useful for writing comments 
about an on-line article and writing letters to editors.  I try to look at the 
website under the category “News” of the “Best” list everyday and take notes 
from anything that looks particularly worthy.  Once per week I try to look at 
all the websites in the “Best” list.  Below are the websites under “News” in 
the “Best” list that I check daily:

CascadiaClimatection.org  … a calendar of climate change activism in the 
Seattle area   

CommonDreams.org/climate/ … a news site with commentary by many well-known 
activists

DailyClimate.org … a fairly complete news site, including editorials and op-eds 
from major newspapers 

Sightline.org/news/ … a news site for climate activism in the Pacific NW 

SkepticalScience.com … a more technical climate science focused news site

TheGuardian.com/environment/ … environmental news with a UK focus  

So, this is a news reader app to keep up with the latest on global warming.  
Perhaps it’s a useful initial tool to develop in Livecode.  It needs 
improvement.  It still has bugs.  The user interface can be improved.  Perhaps 
there should be a way to share urls or notes between users via a server.  
Perhaps there are other features that we can consider.  Perhaps others would 
like to start anew to develop a global warming new reader.  I would like to 
support these efforts in whatever way I can, either by taking the lead or by 
assisting.  I want to support any and all tools that we can develop in Livecode 
to address the challenges of climate change.  

Is it useful to list it as a project on the MIT Climate CoLab site under the 
Public Attitudes and Behaviors Workspace?  My hope is that this will make it 
more publicly known and perhaps draw in some outsiders to Livecode.  The more 
up votes that we get on the MIT Climate CoLab site, the more attention we will 
receive. I believe folks need to register and sign in to vote.   

Regards, 

Jim

Re: Widgets Disappear in DP13

[James Little]

Using 8.0 DP13 on a Mac, a Tree View widget and a Browser widget disappear when 
the app is saved and then re-opened in the IDE.  I’ve just confirmed this with 
a new test stack.  I saw this yesterday in the regular app that I’m working on. 
 The widgets are no longer present in the Project Browser either.

Re: Release 8.0 DP 12

[James Little]

@ Pete

I’m seeing both the absent dictionary content and the pink widget tree view on 
Mac 10.9.5.  The tree view issue resolved when I quit and restarted Livecode 
but still get no content in the dictionary.

DP12 does seem faster and the browser widget has more features.  I built a 
complex standalone for Mac with a browser widget and a tree view widget and 
both work well on initial testing.  

I have lcStackBrowser open and it seems to be functioning well on my limited 
testing so far.

 Interesting.
 
 It now takes two attempts to edit a script in either the Application
 Browser or the Project Browser. The first attempt right-clicking on the
 object you want to edit brings up the contextual menu, and selecting
 "Edit script" starts a spinning cursor. Ignoring that, clicking
 somewhere else, and trying again brings up the script editor.
 
 Note that if you're using the AB, the script editor comes up *behind*
 it, which is somewhat annoying, but whatever.

Widget Browser Unable to Open Link in New Tab

[James Little]

Hi All,

I like the new widget browser in 8.0 dp 9.  It’s easy to set the url and I 
don’t need to close prior browser instances. I can handle messages like  
browserNavigateBegin  and  browserDocumentLoadComplete.  I can copy content 
from the browser and paste it elsewhere. 

However, one challenge that I’ve been unable to solve is to navigate to a new 
url if the link opens in a new tab or a new window. The messages 
browserDocumentLoadFailed and browserNavigateFailed do not seem to be sent. Any 
suggestions on how I can open these links in the browser widget?  

I’ve thought that perhaps I could open the link in the user's default browser 
outside of Livecode using launch url, if I could handle the 
browserNavigateFailed message but that message does not seem to be sent.  
Perhaps this is a bug and I need to file a bug report.  

I’ve written to the forums but no response.  Perhaps someone here on the 
use-list has some advice.

Thanks,

Jim L.

Re: v.8 Tool Palette missing, er, tools?

[James Little]

Craig,

I had the same problem.  Apparently it’s a small bug that only appears on the 
initial loading of LC8; it will be fixed in dp5.  If you go to “Tools” at the 
top and drop down to “Tools Palette” and toggle this off then on, it will load. 
 Or if you shutdown LC8 and restart then it should load.

Not sure what you mean by “running the application loader in the 5.1 app

Re: Pulling Unicode Data from a DataGrid

[James Little]

1) Are you populating the data grid with an array containing UTF-16 data?
UTF 8, I overrode the default behavior and when I FillInData: I do this:
 set the unicodetext of the long ID of me to uniencode(pData, utf8) 
and this works great. But, when I tried converting to UTF-16, then it is 
garbled.

 set the unicodetext of the long ID of me to uniencode(pData, utf16)

2) When you display the Japanese text in the data grid are you setting the
unicodeText of a field in the row?
-Yes, see above script.

3) Is the user updating this Japanese text at all or is it read-only?
-It's read-only.

4) What conversions are you trying to run on the data when you pull it out
with GetDataOfLine?
   put uniDecode(uniEncode(tVar, UTF16)) into tVar
We basically want to compare UTF-16 strings.

Thanks Trevor for digging into this. :D

Pulling Unicode Data from a DataGrid

[James Little]

Hey all,

We're translating our app SmoothieRx into Japanese and have been struggling to 
get UTF-16 text from a DataGrid. We've tried all sorts of combinations of 
uniEncode, uniDecode on the data and it all comes out garbled. We first 
overrode the DataGrid, so we can see that the Japanese in the datagrid is 
correct. But, when we pull it out using GetDataOfLine or dgDataOfLine and then 
try to decode it, it is garbled. Current thinking is that we need to create 
another handler like GetUnicodeDataOfLine. Any ideas?

Re: Chartwell font turns numbers into graphs

Chartwell looks great. I was playing around with it on a UIWebView a couple

Re: data grid error - Error description: Chunk: can't find background

Hi James,

My guess is that the group is labeled DataGrid 1 rather than Datagrid1.  
Notice the space before 1.  This very issue has tripped me up in the past.

 as an example:

 put a page into theRecordsB[1][display_page]
 put yes into theRecordsB[1][current_book]
 put 1234 into theRecordsB[1][id]
 
 set the dgData of group DataGrid1 to theRecordsB
 
 
 When I run this I get the following error:

 What background?
 
 Apart from setting the column names in the Datagrid object, is there

Re: data grid error - Error description: Chunk: can't find background

[James Little]

I agree.

The challenge is that when you drag a new datagrid object onto a stack, 
LiveCode defaults to a name with a space, e.g.   group Datagrid 1.  I've 
learned to always remove the space from the default name.

Store SQLite File as Custom Property?

[James Little]

Richard Gaskin wrote:

 With LiveCode you have a wide range of formats available.  For large tabular 
 data sets you can use SQLite, define your own format using simple text files, 
 store arrays using arrayEncode, or even use custom properties stored in a 
 stack file (a favorite of mine since it lets me use name-value pairs very 
 conveniently.
 
 Sarah Reichelt's helpful article on saving data from a standalone may be 
 helpful:
 http://livecodejournal.com/tutorials/saving_data_in_revolution.html



Is it possible to store a SQLite file as a custom property in LC?  

My reason is to preserve the file as proprietary data.  I guess that I would 
need to be able to access and to store data with SQL queries in private way.  

I would appreciate any advice or pointers to reference info. 

Thanks,

 I don't think it's a LiveCode issue, it's probably the old version of the

Re: [OT] Mediocre Britain

[James Little]

Keith,

Thanks for the info on Wicked problems and Compendium.  What is IBIS in 
this context?  

I too am intrigued at the thought of applying LiveCode tools to such problems.  
Strengths of LiveCode that seem relevant include:  rapid development, relative 
shallow learning curve for new users, reasonable cost, breadth of tools from 
desktop to mobile to server, growing number of 3rd party products and generous 
supportive community.  

Given the importance and challenges of Wicked and Super Wicked problems 
(see below), I hope that LiveCode can play a role, though it seems like an 
immense endeavor, requiring the talents of many.  

Jim L.  


Kelly Levin, Benjamin Cashore, Steven Bernstein and Graeme Auld introduced in 
2007 the distinction between wicked and super wicked problems.[23]  ...

They defined super wicked problems as having the following additional 
characteristics:

Time is running out.
No central authority.
Those seeking to solve the problem are also causing it.
Hyperbolic discounting occurs
While the items that define a wicked problem relate to the problem itself, the 
items that define a super wicked problem relate to the agent trying to solve 
it. Global warming is considered as super wicked problem by others.[1]

Re: Where does survive the inventive user ?

[James Little]

I too am not a professional programmer and did not come from a Hypercard 
background.  As a physician and clinical researcher, I found RunRev 5 years ago 
because I wanted to test a theory that syringomyelia (a pathologic cyst in the 
spinal cord) would affect motor control, which might prove useful for diagnosis 
or clinical monitoring. Within 6 months of purchasing Runtime Revolution (now 
LiveCode) I had a desktop app that could test rapid alternating finger 
movements. It's a shame that the theory did not hold up, but after that 
experience, I became hooked as a RunRev hobbyist.  Over the last 5 years, I 
tried other development environments, but I always came back to LiveCode; for 
me as  primarily a content person and not a programmer, it was the learning 
curve that I could manage.  

Within the last year, I retired as a full-time physician and I'm able to devote 
more time to LiveCode.  I've also begun to collaborate with my son on some 
LiveCode projects; at 24, he's picked it up much faster than I did.  I still 
have much to learn (LiveCode Server, HTML  CSS integration with LiveCode, iOS 
 Android development).  I am grateful to RunRev for its remarkable ongoing 
success at providing cross-platform tools that allow non-programmers to do some 
programming.  I'm also grateful to the generosity of seasoned RunRev developers 
that contribute to this developer's list and to the forum.  Those contributions 
are especially valuable to non-programmers, like myself.

I concur with what Peter Brigham wrote, I have no idea how you market to 
people like me.  RunRev has continued to make available new tools that are 
valuable for non-programmers (e.g. Lessons, Summer Academy).  RunRev has a 
strong website and annual conferences (live  streaming) that draw in potential 
users.  There are wonderful 3rd party sites that assist non-programmers 
(LivecodeJournal.com, revolution.byu.edu, hyperactivesw.com ...).  A possible 
suggestion for marketing, is that a mechanism / an exchange be established to 
assist a newer programmer in obtaining paid assistance from an experienced 
programmer.  For example, I might have interest in contracting with an 
experienced LC programmer to beta test an app.  Also, as  a retired professor 
in my department at the University, I've thought about volunteering to assist 
faculty members undertake some LiveCode projects.  Before I committed myself to 
such projects, I would like to know that there is available, at a reasonable 
cost, some advanced assistance.  From the RunRev website (runrev dot 
com/support/consultants/), from this developer's list and from the forum, I 
certainly have many names of advanced LC programmers but  1) I don't know who 
might have interest in such short-term involvement, 2) I don't know who has 
experience in iOS or Android development, and 3) I don't know the ballpark the 
costs.  Further elaborating a mechanism to link moderately-experienced to 
advanced LiveCode programmers may help promote LiveCode.

Best,

Jim L.

 Many people have use for the kind of functionality an amateur and dabbler 
 can get out of LiveCode, and it isn't that hard to do.
 
 Admittedly, HyperCard was easier, simply because it was less complex. I've 
 wondered if LiveCode might be more approachable if it had some kind of dumb 
 mode, sort of like the old userLevel system in HyperCard. Probably won't 
 happen though.
