Dear Peter Brigham,

Thank you for your request.

It probably wouldn't hurt to report this as a bug. We are currently doing a complete overhaul to revOnline, and it will be vastly improved in 3.5. It may be that this issue is already fixed, but if not, its worth reporting to make sure it
gets looked at by our engineers.

Regards,

Heather

I think I found the problem. Double-clicking the stack icon opens the
mainstack, of course, which serves just to open the data stack, a
substack that will contain text that the user will want to save. The
mainstack then closes itself, leaving only the data stack open. When I choose "Share this stack..." from the file menu the stack that appears at the top of the upload window in my RevOnline user space is the data stack, not the mainstack. I had to tweak the main stack to keep itself open (and not open the substack), then quit and reopen it so the mainstack stayed as the frontmost stack, then restore its card script to the original desired
behavior & save it, then choose "Share this stack..." with the
mainstack frontmost. When I did this, the name of the mainstack
appeared at the top of the RevOnline upload window and I got a
successful upload.

Seems to me that RevOnline should be able to know how to locate the
mainstack and then upload the whole stack system properly, no? The
mainstack does appear in the application browser list of stacks in
memory, so Rev knows it's there. Should I report this as a bug?

Hmmm. I've looked at your record, and your user space info looks
perfectly normal.

The current implementation of revonline is a bit quirky and erratic.
It does seem
to work for some people however, so the trick is to figure out
exactly what it
doesn't like about you/your stack... You are able to log in
successfully? Just not
upload? What is the exact name of the stack you are trying to upload?

Regards,

Heather

I can't get stacks uploaded to my userspace on RevOnline. Jacque
suggested there might be a problem with the RevOnline database? Any
ideas?

OK, this feels like a totally basic question to me, so I apologize
in
advance.... I know I asked about this last year sometime, but I
couldn't get it to work and I just gave up on it, so it's still a
problem for me.

I want to share a stack by uploading it to my userspace on
RevOnline,
so I open the stack, select "Share this stack..." from the file
menu,
and the RevOnline window appears. I can see the name of the stack in question at the top, and I choose the category, fill in the title & description, then click "Upload." Nothing seems to happen in the way
of confirmation (is this normal?). I then save my stack as
instructed
-- I guess Rev "fingerprints" the stack by adding a custom property
or
something to allow me to update the stack later if I revise it.
Then I
go to my userspace and the new stack is not there. Nada. I must be
doing something wrong. Somehow last year I managed to get one
stack up
there, but I have no idea what I did to accomplish this. What am I
missing?

I don't know, but whatever it is, I've been missing it too from
about
the same time. I haven't been able to upload since then either. I
pulled
a stack successfully over a year ago in order to re-upload a fixed
version and could never get it back online.

everyone
having the same difficulty?

I don't think it's everyone. I recently asked Heather about it and
found
out there was a database migration a while back where some of the
records didn't cross over successfully. She didn't have direct
access to
the database to fix it for me (my record's password got wiped,)
and I
didn't ask her to pursue it since it wasn't a big deal for me. She'd
be
the one to contact though if you want someone to look into it.
