These scripts are running on a remote server... there is no GUI as you understand it. just a) the engine b) the scripts... no interface as such. > 2. > I thought put <expr> went to the message box. Why this instead of > writing to stdout? my stack is not really an interface for the CGI as you would understand it... the stack has a field which holds the script... it has a button that opens a socket and FTP's the script to the site and set's CHMOD to 755. Then another button simply does "Get URL "http://www.oursite.org/cgi-bin/rev.cgi"; Now, this "triggers" the CGI to run... if it is expecting to receive data you would have to use POST and send some data. "Put" is equivalent to writing to stdout." and thus, if you called the same URL from a browser, assuming you send the correct http header to stnout first, the browser would display any returned data... in the case of doing it inside a rev stack.. the "trigger" script looks like this: on mouseup set the cursor to 4 put "http://"&; fld "host" &"/cgi-bin/" & fld "cgi filename" into tCGI get url tCGI put it into fld "returned_data" end mouseUp > 3. > Does the stack need to be invisible? Other? It will be in the sense that there is no GUI as such... it's just lines of code in a file on the site, Apache's CGI infrastructure points the GET to the script, the script calls the MC/REV engine to interpret the script. > If I'm really confused about Revolution and CGI, I hope these > questions give some indication about where I am confused. And to answer the other questions posed: Should be able to run this on any web server that has an OS that will run Metacard. Note, for webstar on a Mac it's more complicated... you have to use apple Events, but you can run it pretty much as I described on a Mac OSX server... Since you can use the engine for free... there is not a lot of urgency to put together the documentation for this. Recommend you search the archives of the metacard list for "CGI" and ".mt" and carefully review everything... > Dar Scott Hinduism Today Sivakatirswami Editor's Assistant/Production Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.HinduismToday.com, www.HimalayanAcademy.com, www.Gurudeva.org, www.hindu.org Read The Master Course Lesson of the Day at http://www.gurudeva.org/lesson.shtml _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
