Re: Distributing Mac apps
I'm one of those renegades that insists on moving non-apple apps into a directory named Applications Third Party at the same level as the Application Folder. The App folder is a mess when one puts more than the Apple apps in there. Inside the third party folder, I separate the apps by function, like AV,Graphics, Internet, etc. I also use directories around most of my third party apps to contain docs and serial numbers. Only a couple apps have complained. I HATE IT when a third party application *insists* on being in the 'Application Folder'. I just have too many applications.. I want to use my own organizational system. I assume Apple apps always want to be there. - Stephen Barncard San Francisco http://houseofcubes.com/disco.irev 2009/9/26 Joe F. jo...@mac.com I prefer the disc image with root Applications alias. It's simple and obvious. I found that a lot of apps allow you to install anywhere when they actually need to be in the Applications folder; as if the developer never considered that a user might do it otherwise. The main reasons to do it by the book are permissions and OS updates. I haven't done Snow Leopard yet but the Leopard transition was great for me, very little setup once it was installed. Also, if you want to update your app you know where everything is. Joe F. On Sep 23, 2009, at 1:00 AM, Sarah Reichelt wrote: On Wed, Sep 23, 2009 at 1:00 PM, J.

It's actually figuring out how to do it that I need help with, but after a quicl browse through the links you provided, I am pretty sure I will find my answers. Thanks again. Cheers Lars Can anybody point me to a tutorial or a demonstration or anything that emplains creating or deleting or replacing stacks from a standalone? What I want to do is make a standalone that updates another standalone by replacing one of its stacks with one from the updater stack. As basic as this probably is, I haven't a clue how to do it, and all atttempts to figure it out have failed. First concept for you to realize is that a standalone is a compiled app or exe, which means once compiled, it can no longer be modified. This is kind of like an oil painting where the artist wants to go back and replace a blue color with one that is a little darker. Can't undo the painting, but you can make a new one and change the blue color. For Rev, this means go back and compile a new version of your standalone. What you can do is create a standalone that uses stacks that are not part of the standalone, then replace those stacks. There are many discussions on the list about this and the key word to look for is 'splash screen' ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

If I launch the stack, I get the same problem. I had the same problem, and here is the solution. You need to insert the Snow Leopard disc again and load the application Rosetta which is included separately on the disc. Once loaded, go to your Revolution application and click on it but don't open it. While it is highlighted, go to top finder menu and select the Get Information under File. On the window that opens you will see the information for the Rev application and then you check the box for use Rosetta. Once you do that it will open as it once did by double-clicking on any of your Rev. documents.

Re: Problems with snow leopard
As a long time mac user from the beginning, I've always thought the type and creator codes were VERY useful to eliminate the ambiguity of what to launch and I put down the PC method of using suffixes as being brain dead. It is sad to see the Mac OS do another thing to make it more like Windblows. I registered the codes creator BARN and document rtfd back in the early 90's. Obviously the second one Apple decided to use anyway for Textedit. (I had my own rtf format with image references imbedded.) Aren't these things still relevant? On 2009-09-13, Dave Cragg dave.cr...@lacscentre.co.uk wrote: I haven't installed Snow Leopard, so can't check this. I've read that with Snow Leopard, the Finder no longer uses creator and type codes as a way of linking files to applications. I'm guessing this might have an effect of the result of double-clicking on a file. For example, perhaps the Finder is now trying to launch the file with an older version of Rev which doesn't recognize the current stack format. Could that explain what you're seeing?

The $%$#%#$%# Rev Geometry
Ok I've been a Rev user since 2001, and many times I've tried to use the geometry manager and it will work for a while, then BLAM, add or change something (like add a new card) , then everything to the right gets wider - a major mess. This happens sooner or later on EVERY stack I try to use geometry. Once in a while someone will mention rev geometry on this list, and the pundits will invariably say... Geometry -- no big deal, just do it yourself - it's easy. Don't use Rev geometry. But the Rev interface has such an intuitive interface to RevGeometry, I really want to use it. If it's broken, how is it used? If it's in there, why can't I just use it? Does anyone know how to stop this from happening? Really, it was working quite well for many days... now I can't change anything on the stack without this thing falling apart. I didn't change the size of anything, just tried to add a new card. If I have to go commando with geometry, does anyone have a guide? thanks sqb - Stephen Barncard San Francisco http://houseofcubes.com/disco.irev ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: The $%$#%#$%# Rev Geometry
2009/9/13 Bill Vlahos bvla...@mac.com Stephen, I've struggled with and successfully used Geometry Manager and agree with you that the UI is very inviting. There are two tricks I've found for making it work better. 1. If in doubt click Remove All at the Geometry UI setting and reset it. of course. 2. If you are using it in comparison with another object, rather than the card dimensions, make sure the object is a low level object. I've found that you will get strange results this isn't done. Not sure what you mean by 'lower level object. How can I make the desired object relate to the stack/card size? Also will groups have problems or do they usually stay together ( avoiding any geometry inside ) ? Do I have to assure that the 'resizestack' event reaches each object? I sure wish Rev would fix the Geometry Manager. It is a stumbling block for most new users. Well, Im not new, and it's definitely a stumbling block for me. Thanks Bill.

Re: Custom Widget Technique Question
If you haven't seen Scott Rossi's work, you should. He's created some amazing controls. Buy or use for inspiration. http://www.tactilemedia.com/ click software; click TMGauge - Stephen Barncard San Francisco http://houseofcubes.com/disco.irev 2009/9/12 Len Morgan len-mor...@crcom.net I'm working on a new project and I'd like some advice on how to create custom controls to use on a graphical process display. This will display a water pipeline system with all it's tanks, pipe, valves, flow/pressure meters etc. One of the items I have to display is a water tank and I need to display how much water is in it as both a number and a graphical representation of the water level. I've got the gist of the drawing managed but I'm going to have to have several of these and I don't want to hand create them every time so I'm looking to make a water tank custom control. I need to put it somewhere, send it a current level which would update the numeric display and set the water level. I'd also like to size them so I could have big ones and small ones. That's a long introduction to my actual question. I know I can make a group of the various parts and script the updating and possibly sizing using behavior scripts but once I've created it, where to I put it? Do I create a stack with this group on it and then clone it where I need it? Do I copy and paste (via script)? I can't add it to the Rev graphic object pallet like the datagrid is now. This is not the only custom control I'm going to need so I'm looking for a generic way to handle this kind of thing. In the end, the program will not only have a display of our pipeline but I'd also like to have a separate design program to create the system diagrams in case any other pipelines want to use the program. len morgan ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: [OT] Who still uses a Mac PPC?
My 'main' machine is currently the 2.5 dual G5 with two 23 Cinema displays, as it's very beneficial to have a great deal of real estate for programming and my little MacBook pro can only do 1 extra monitor. I'm stuck with the G5 for the time being as I have maxxed out the Pro Tools original PCI bus hardware with the last PPC revision of PT 8.

Re: Change font color of script editor?
Jerry Daniel's tRev allows chalkboard formatting, easy on the eyes.(and a lot of other features... not to mention a great editor...!) - Stephen Barncard San Francisco http://barncard.com 2009/8/25 Nicolas Cueto nicon...@gmail.com: Mathias, It's not possible in Rev. Here's what I've done instead, but be advised that it's tricky and may have unknow side-effects -- in my own case, two I've found are the flashing insertion point is not visible against a black background, and the Help Document font colors will require tweaking. In Preferences, set background color to black (actually, a dark grey is better, if you want to see the flashing insertion point) and check-on Revolution UI Elements appear in lists of stacks. Next, open the Script Editor (for any object). Open the Application Browser to find listed revNewScriptEditor (not revNewScriptEditor 1 etc); click its card 1 to show the stack. Do a Search on the revNewScriptEditor stack for the first line of this handler: command seColorizationLoadScheme pScheme, @pPreferencesArray In that handler, look for 'case default', where you'll see lines like this: group commands none 255,255,0 The none refers to a font style (none, italic, bold -- but I'm not sure if those are the exact terms), and the set of numbers is the RGB color code. Play around with those number sets till you find a combination you like. And then save the stack. Again, though, this type of modification is not the usual thing to do with Rev. In fact, before making changes to the color codes, make a backup copy of the scripts you change in case you want to revert to things as they were. -- Nicolas Cueto ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: Importing gMail?
It's easy to make a spaminator in Rev, but a good email list program should have features like list management, user authentication and unsubscribe, and bounced email management. Look at the features in the most popular mail list server, Mailman, which indeed is the software that manages the Rev lists. Most ISPs offer it for free. 'Several Hundred' recipients sounds like a lot of users to handle without those features. It looks like you're trying to do a survey. Perhaps there's a better way than simple email responses. If you have on-rev you could make a form that collects response and allows only one vote per IP. It could keep the tally in a simple text file. Not idiot proof but fine for a small group. You should be able to do the same thing using the plugin. And yes, you could make a thing that gathers emails, but it would have to allow 1 vote per email, and write some kind of form to work inside the email. A lot more trouble, IMHO than making a simple web page. - Stephen Barncard San Francisco http://barncard.com 2009/8/13 James Hurley jhurley0...@sbcglobal.net I'm thinking of sending a query (kind of an open ended survey) via gMail to members of my neighborhood association.

printing reduced graphics
Hi Gang, I've had this personal app in Rev that creates CD labels from Waveburner rundown files. This was originally an HC stack but I converted to Runrev years ago and made many improvements. One feature was to include image controls on the card to print those images. When I started using this app, I used .pct images because they were uncompressed and would scale nicely and print with more resolution when reduced. Unfortunately, PICT files are now not encouraged and are not cross platform. So I went to .png graphics, which can do transparency, it seemed like a good fit and seemed to work as well in earlier versions of Rev. However, in the recent versions (3.0) they print terribly, are all fuzzy. What happened? Is there some antialiasing that should be turned off or what? My graphics look like dirt again. I looked at some earlier printings and they looked great. I'm using *print card* using the dialogs. Hide a few control groups, 'take' the print snapshot, restore the groups.

Re: [ANN] tRev Feature Friday Videos!
Nicolas, dictonary.com: FLAME Computer Slang. an *angry*, *critical*, or *disparaging* electronic message, as an e-mail or newsgroup post. Sorry but it was a flame - and then you came back and did it again. All I know is that I winced when I saw that. Dissing a third party tool without allowing the developer to respond and allowing him to help you is not constructive. This is a friendly list. Remember we're all developers in the same boat here, these words go far and wide around the world (and sit there forever) and it doesn't take much to turn a potential customer off of making a purchasing discussion. It could happen to you. The golden rule, Karma, etc is at play here. As far as Posterous, it's the response system that Jerry has chosen for this product and it works quite well, and I've been subscribed for over a year, and never gotten a single spam message or promo through or by them. How do I know that? Because I routinely make up an email alias for things I sign up for. This provides two things: I can see who's spamming me, and a 'quick disconnect' from the offending site if needed. I have over 50 email addresses for this purpose. Once one signs up, one is good for any number of blogs that one desires. Subscribe to other blogs, start your own. Most ISPs will allow a number of email addresses or aliases. Finally, google mail does such a good job of filtering that the spammers will probably give up soon. It's that good. I think Jerry has said what has to be said, and it's a master class in how to treat customers. I hope your future customers can look forward to the same calm, cool, response. - Stephen Barncard San Francisco http://barncard.com 2009/8/8 Nicolas Cueto nicon...@gmail.com Defense shields coming up...

Anyway, thank you for the rev-editor website ref, but I already knew about it. Why am I posting here then? Well, it is not clear on the rev-editor page how to post a comment.

Re: Message path and standalones
The 'splash screen method' is indeed a wonderful feature of Runrev, especially in a Macintosh standalone. And yes 'start using' works fine in a standalone. But the path strategy is different for a standalone than working in the IDE. The paths have to be specified in relation to the stack engine, not the IDE engines and externals in their normal places on your drive. I won't run down the exact sequence of how to do it, but a couple of clues: use the 'effective filename of this stack' to get your standalones' location (from within the running standalone code) and set the location of the stacks to include relative to that. Relative addressing works. ALSO remember you can open up the .app package and WORK DIRECTLY with those stacks in the IDE, You don't have to rebuild the standalone each time, unless you add externals or need to add features from a newer version of Runrev that wasn't there before. Not only can you edit, compile and run, you can also FIX stuff. And you can leave the IDE idling while you test in the standalone. It's the speediest, easiest way to work for me at least... - Stephen Barncard San Francisco http://barncard.com 2009/8/3 François Chaplais francois.chapl...@mines-paristech.fr I am currently trying to compile my stack(s) into MacOS X standalones.

I am looking for confirmation and, if possible explanation for the following facts a) start using stack etc... does not seem to work in a standalone, i.e. handlers that should be in the extended message path are not executed. I can reproduce that on an elementary stack. b) send (message etc...) to the proper object works c) handlers which are not in the message path in the are not detected in the IDE at compile time, but only at runtime. Wouldn't it be nice if this could be detected at compile time?

Re: [OT] Is there a future for CentOS or systems to run on your web server
Because in this fast-paced internet world of ours, rumor and innuendo spread fast, either from not knowing all the facts, making assumptions, or not reading all of the information, leads to the needless destruction of reputations and livelihoods. Why spread fear about something we don't really know that much about? Like I said, the only issue is the stupid domain name. What they say on the site: Facts Regarding CentOS and the Open Letter to Lance Davishttp://www.centos.org/ CentOS is not dead or going away. The signers of the Open Letter are fully committed to continue the CentOS Project. Updates and new releases will continue. The issues raised in the Open Letter have been raised privately literally for years and a voluntary resolution had been hoped for and worked toward. But progress requires follow through. We have tried contacting Lance in private for a long period of time before this Open Letter. While we received promises, there was no real response or follow through from him on promises made. We are sure he is not dead, on vacation, or sick. Once we all decided there was no movement in the matter we created the Open Letter. This is not something that appeared just recently. We would really like to continue the project using the centos.org domain. That is one of the reasons for the Open Letter. But the developers will move to another domain if there is no other option. Protective backups are in place; hot machines exist to allow for a cutover with a simple one time installation of one RPM package. We continue to refine our plans if this might be the case, to make the transition as smooth as possible. - Stephen Barncard San Francisco http://barncard.com 2009/7/31 Mark Schonewille m.schonewi...@economy-x-talk.com Hi all, My conclusion after reading the CentOS web site is: CentOS is dead.

Yes, it's possible, as Google has shown, that it's possible to 'crack' the MS formats, but it is not trivial, and not published. What is usually suggested is to tell whoever is supplying the documents you need to process in RTF format, which any copy of Word can do, and you can preserve most of the formatting. Parsing such a document must still be done carefully, but the RTF specs are published online. - Stephen Barncard San Francisco http://barncard.com 2009/7/29 Gregory Lypny gregory.ly...@videotron.ca Hello everyone, Is it possible to read a portion, say, 300 lines, of a Word file (.doc) into a Rev field and keep most the formatting or otherwise strip it away?

Re: [ANN] Watch a video about a whole new approach to script editing
I can step in here. T-Rev and GLX2 are two different products. One does not need the other. T-rev is a radically different approach to editing scripts in Rev. The former approach, tapping into Rev's Editor hooks from standard Rev windows running in the IDE can be a dicy, moving-target nightmare for an outside developer, and I'm sure Jerry's run into name-space and messaging issues among other things. Daniels and Mara should get some kind of award for even attempting Galaxy and GLX2. I'm sure it was a long way from being easy to accomplish - and thanks for doing it. But Jerry is a very smart and resourceful fellow, and he's been alway looking for other ways to do things, poking at this idea for a while: Get out of the rev IDE namespace and 'remote control' the IDE by using a temporary plugin and sockets. Brilliant! I never got the concept editor to work for me a couple of years ago, but this TRev thing really rocks. It's more like the zippy editor we had in Hypercard. T-Rev is to the point and just damn simple. And really fast. Whatever Jerry's done here, it's a world of difference vs. any other editing tool for Rev. Another great feature is Jerry Himself.. and the anticipated discussion group that will go with the product. I'm sure a lot of features will be added with the very frequent updates. So it's a living, breathing, continually updated application. Watch it being developed before your eyes. At the same time, I'm sure he's going to keep the feature-itus to a minimum, to keep it lean. Most of the 'good stuff' is there now. And thanks, Jerry for the ongoing 'Chalkboard' motif...

Can you make your new method work for that function? - Stephen Barncard San Francisco http://barncard.com 2009/7/27 Jerry Daniels jerry.dani...@me.com Fellow editors of scripts, I have really enjoyed the great new features in Rev 3.5 and 4.0, as have all of us. One of those improvements came in the form of a new script editor. As a developer of a third-party suite of development tools, this created new opportunities for our little company (me and the Missus). The big opening we saw in Revolution's new IDE was actually not IN the IDE, but OUTSIDE of it. We wrote a new, compact, high-performance script editor that lives entirely outside of Revolution. It communicates with Revolution via a small plugin using sockets. We made a video showing it in action: http://reveditor.com/trev-the-movie This new approach to script editing is called tRev (TEE-rev). It is very fast. And it is incredibly stable. I have not had it crash once in nearly a month of heavy use. Other early adopters are reporting the same result. Here's what it does for you: - compiles - handles compile errors - responds immediately to execution errors (without locking up) - sports twenty tabs - provides inline auto-completion (clairvoyance) - updates any or all of its components (has 25 components) without restarting - automatically checks for updates on your behalf - offers no-click inspection from either Rev or itself - makes itself transparent so you can inspect THROUGH it - archives up to 30 copies of the stacks you are editing - lives in its own space without any IDE conflicts You should click this link to watch the video: http://reveditor.com/trev-the-movie You should click the link below to buy a pre-release version from the RevSelect store: http://runrev.com/products/related-software/trev-editor/ Start the popcorn popping and enjoy our block-buster movie!

Looks great, Jerry. I've supported this concept editor for a long time in theory and I'm glad you got it working so well. My early beta rocks, now I guess I have to step up to the plate. Arg. I have to order through the ghastly Rev ordering pages (it doesn't know who I am), and I'm sure my bank and VISA is going to refuse the attempt. RBS doesn't have a good reputation over here I guess. I really hate having to call the bank EACH time I make a purchase at the Rev store.

Jim, that's URL encoding. %20 is hex 20, ascii space. There are spaces in the filename. - Stephen Barncard San Francisco http://barncard.com 2009/7/25 James Hurley jhurley0...@sbcglobal.net P.S. The stack I tried was RainbowTest.rev and if you are interested you can see it in action by running the line below in the message box. And if you have Rev 4.0 you can create your own test by saving it for the web. go url http://www.jamesphurley.com/RainbowTest.rev; Not only does the mouseMove handler run lethargically, but the image (a flashlight, or up in Scotland, a torch) carrying that script breaks up on the screen, i.e. the image breaks up into two separate parts. Odd. I tested your stack Jim. It was very interesting as it worked at full speed when running in the browser but from the files on my desktop. When I uploaded the revlet it's html file to my web server http://troz.on-rev.com/rainbow/test.html, it ran as described. Interestingly, the Draw bunches script runs fine, it seems to be dragging the torch around that causes the delay. This may be an optimization thing that will be improved as the plugin develops, or it may be that mouseMoves need to be handled differently. Cheers, Sarah Thanks Sarah. Your feed back was very helpful. I confess that when I ran the stack I posted to you I got the same results you did--and not the same as I obtained earlier when I ran the full stack from which I extracted the bit I posted. Just to isolate the issue of the graphic display, I tried a very simple stack: A single image (my barn last winter) with a MouseMove handler. go url http://www.jamesphurley.com/MoveGraphicTest.rev; When I drag this image around the screen (running in Safari from the file on my desktop) I found the motion to be rather bumpy, not nearly as smooth as when running in desktop RunRev. It is tolerable, but bumpy. As you say, this may be something that needs tweaking as the plug in evolves. I haven't tried uploading it to the my web server. Not sure how to proceed to the next step. The url in Safari looks like this: file:///Rev%20apps%20on%20web/Untitled%201/test.html I never have figured out what character the %20 is a substitution for. Little help?

According to the v3.5 Engine Change Log, that was fixed in v3.5: http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=5932 Unfortunately the current limit is not noted in the docs for the Sort command, nor in that report, so I don't know exactly what it is in the latest version. But 64k of text was a lot for a single line, so whatever it's been raised to should be plenty for most common tasks. Timothy's report of the trailing blank line may be a regression error which had been marked as fixed in the 3.5 Engine Change Log: http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=7809 -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Revolution training and consulting: http://www.fourthworld.com Webzine for Rev developers: http://www.revjournal.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

You shouldn't have to ask your ISP to change the nameservers. I haven't had to do that for years. Your domain registrar may be, and usually is, a different entity than your ISP.

Re: Creepy 2020
It all depends what one puts into it. I've reconnected with a staff of characters from my former workplace and realized that job was one of the best times (and the worst times too) of my life. I had shot many videos and photos - which I was saving for my online bio - and used the excellent gallery and video upload tools at Facebook. Hey it's Facebook's hard drive and their bandwidth, why not. And the group liked it very much and wanted more. We may have a reunion in a few months. I didn't know for what purpose exactly I shot the video, but it all survived and found a place there ( and not you tube). The comments that come back are worth it. And since most of the 'friends' have some kind of connection to one's own reality, the system works pretty well. I haven't seen any hecklers where I hang out. A lot of attitude but it's friendly so far. - Stephen Barncard San Francisco http://barncard.com 2009/7/1 Randall Reetz rand...@randallreetz.com And yes i have a SpaceBook account.

Re: [ON-REV] include, dbExec and other things
yeah, I know the On-Rev documentation is a little vague -- much of what you need to know about On-Rev special stuff is in the On-Rev engine notes: http://samples.on-rev.com/irev-engine-notes.txt I haven't seen anything called dbExec -- unless you saw it someone's code - could be a rev subroutine or a jqurery call. The .irev or .inc files that don't have a closing ? are used for subroutine use only - the page doesn't 'execute' anything itself - has to be called from another page... using include earlier in the calling script. 009/6/30 Nicolas Cueto nicon...@gmail.com A bit of a ramble... To learn how to script irev files, I've been looking at members' code examples. But I'm getting snagged up by new terms. Two of my latest:dbExec and include. At first I searched the runrev documentation, but now I know they're not runrev commands -- which I found odd, since I thought the code between the ?rev and the ? that did stuff had to be rev-only... or in html. BTW, some code examples omitted the ?. Is that an oversight or is that ok? Why? So, I looked more closely at the code examples, goggled a bit, and now have a sense of what dbExec and include are and a vague notion of how to use them (but further light is welcome). Anyway, my basic question is: If it's not in the Rev docs, how can I learn what irev scripts can do? Besides, that is, the on-rev forum, the on-rev online docs, and of course bugging this list.

Unwanted characters from pasted-in text.
I have a wordpress blog that has survived many upgrades. Some text was entered by users by pasting text into the earlier simple Wordpress entry fields in the early years. The text was readable and correct at the time. I'm guessing that Wordpress changed their MySQL character encoding. In the transition to the later versions, the text has a lot of character errors, usually involving 'smart' quotes, apostrophes and dashes. Also an occasional null would work its way in, and you know how rev love nulls. In trying to clean this up with rev, here's my brute force method: code put fld output2 into tBlock replace numToChar(0) with empty in tBlock -- nulls replace â€ù WITH quote in tBlock replace ’ WITH ' in tBlock replace â€a WITH ' in tBlock replace â€? WITH quote in tBlock replace “ WITH quote in tBlock replace â€ù WITH quote in tBlock replace – WITH - in tBlock replace ˆ WITH - in tBlock put tBlock into fld output /code Does this look familiar? I'd be ok with this, but every time I run this with other posts, I get new codes that aren't covered above. Is there some kind of unicode trick that would cover everything? Or am I stuck with this method? thanks, sqb - Stephen Barncard San Francisco http://barncard.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
characters pasted from word processor
Hello Everyone, I would like to find a recipe to recover the original character of character strings like this: ÂΩ Âº ‘ ‶ (typical text block with imbedded problem text:) *comparison, Wally’s machine was “stock†, straight out of the catalog. Part of this was due to the anticipated need for 4-channel Dynatrack, which would have required 8 tracks on 1†tape. As a result, everything was designed for ¼†through 1†operation.* These are mostly curly quotes, punctuation stuff. They are imbedded into otherwise plain text. Something was different on the newer implementation of Wordpress and the data's appearance changed in Wordpress the obvious ones I could search and replace, but I can't guess them all and I suspect there's a way to convert these. any ideas are welcome. thanks in advance - Stephen Barncard San Francisco http://barncard.com - Stephen Barncard San Francisco http://barncard.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: ON-REV: Using Trevor's library on
Thanks, Sarah. Cookies.. - Stephen Barncard San Francisco http://barncard.com 2009/6/21 Sarah Reichelt sarah.reich...@gmail.com I've seen some scripts that appear to use globals but I couldn't see that is was really necessary. As you say, variables only seem to persist while the script is running, although there is no problem referring to the same variable in more than one ?rev ... ? block. I think for real persistent data, you need to store it either on the server as a file, or on the user's computer as a cookie, depending on the requirements. You have to remember that multiple people could be accessing the web page at the same time, so the same data may not be valid for all. Session variables are another possibility, but not one I have explored yet.

Re: [ANN] ETag include for On-Rev (was Re: Compare files between on-rev and local versions)
Andre, I notice that you use the .inc suffix for on-rev includes. I know that's the convention for PHP includes, unfortunately, that suffix will not allow the on-rev client to read or edit the file, even though it contains code. I'm assuming you are using your own tools for on-rev development. I currently use the on-rev client for in situ debugging. Helps a lot. I use coda too, but it currently doesn't format rev code (yet). It has an intuitive css editor as well as an assisted text mode. BBEdit is good for everything else. This is yet another reason why I really would request the on-rev client to allow plug-ins, some kind of API or better yet, open up the code so we can work with it. I think what the on-rev coders have done is fantastic, but there will always bee a need for one more thing. ? syncing (or at least compare) indenting work on any text file (or at least allow .inc files as editable) search and replace snippet storage ? I'm guessing that Jerry or Andre are working on some kind of alternative editor for on-rev right now. Where do I sign up? - Stephen Barncard San Francisco http://barncard.com 2009/6/22 Andre Garzia an...@andregarzia.com Hello Folks, I've just created a minimal ETag include file for On-Rev. For those not familiar with ETags, they are unique identifiers that are sent as HTTP Headers. When your file change, your ETag for that file also changes. So a browser or any http client may sent a web request like, give me that file is the ETag is different from this one, or if it still the same. For more information on ETags consult Dr. Wik E. Pedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_ETag What my include does is set the ETag header for the file that includes it. So if you have a helloworld.irev file and include etag.inc then, an ETag http header will be set when helloworld.irev is requested, if the file changes, the ETag changes too. Another thing it does is expose an ETag function that will comput an ETag for a given file path. And there's one more thing: sometimes, you just want to know if helloworld.irev changed but you don't want to execute it, for this cases, just pass a url parameter op=etag, like helloworld.irev?op=etag this way the include will set the ETag and force the engine to exit without running any further. This of course just works up to the point where the etag is included, so include it as the first line. you can check the etag.inc by going to: http://andregarzia.on-rev.com/scriptviewer.irev?f=etag.inc (Karma bonus, my script viewer generates links for downloading compressed copies of the viewed files) If you're on a unix like system or any system with CURL, you can do a: curl -v http://andregarzia.on-rev.com/etagtest.irev and see the ETag header being sent. So if you want to compare two files, assuming it's a local and a remote copy, you can simply store the ETag every time you cache the file, then you just query for it later.
