Glad to hear you solved it.

The initial setup can be a bit complex, but I highly recommend automating
the whole SSL certificate thing with Let's Encrypt. The certificate cost
goes to zero and you never have to worry about it again unless your logging
script says you have an issue. It automatically renews every few months and
I have seen zero issues since setting it up about a year and a half ago.

There is a 4D tech note about it in the link below. Or you can just script
it with Mac or Windows OS tools.

Re: problems with SSL cert/SOLVED

[Rebecca Bryant via 4D_Tech]

Thanks for the tip Sandor. I like hanging on to the old certs too. I
usually hide them in a folder so it's good to know that's recommended (as
opposed to just renaming).

Rebecca,

Don’t know if this is related, but I had a difficult time replacing a cert
recently.  I found out that 4D server reads all certs in the main directory
regardless of if you intent to used them or not.  As soon as I removed
unused certs everything functioned perfectly.  I had simply renamed the old
cert to replace the new one.  Thinking I don’t want to trash this yet.  But
keeping it in the same dir gave major problems loading any cert.  hope that
helps.

4D write pro add a new section.

[Eric Naujock via 4D_Tech]

I see I can add a new subsection. But I am still trying to figure out how I 
would create new sew section object to append to a document. I see I need to 
have a second section to change from a one column layout to a 2 column layout. 
But there does not seem to be ab way to create a section object or append a new 
section to a WP document. Any hints out there. I need to do this 
programmatically.

Document encoding

[Two Way Communications via 4D_Tech]

Hi All,

An important customer of mine has requested that all documents, sent to him, 
are UTF-8 encoded.
This concerns PDF files, text files, Word, Excel, picture files.

I did some tests, but can’t figure out how to do that.

If, e.g., I look at a pdf file in BBEdit, it says ‘Mac Roman’.

Then I tried to open that file in 4D (v17, UTF-8) with document to blob
then:

DOCUMENT TO BLOB(document;$blob)
$DocBlobtxt:=Convert to text(blob;2027)  // 2027 = MacOS Roman  
TEXT TO BLOB($DocBlobtxt;$docblobUTF8;UTF8 text without length)

It seems to do that correctly, but then, this file cannot be opened in preview 
( Opens, but content is blanc)

The other thing is that I need to know the encoding of the file before using 
‘Convert to text’. That is not always possible.

Is this request feasible to start with?

Any ideas how to accomplish that?   


Regards,

Rudy Mortier

Write Pro multi column layout.

[Eric Naujock via 4D_Tech]

Good morning,
I have been digging in the docs to try and figure out how to add a two 
column block to a Write Pro document. I have a single column document. But 
wanted to add a block to the end that had two columns for a set of two 
signature blocks.
Effectively I would like to create a write pro object that has two columns with 
one Write pro objects in each of the two columns. Then append then to the end 
of a running Write pro section.

Write Pro disable spell checking

[Piotr Chabot Stadhouders via 4D_Tech]

Hi,

When displaying a write pro area in a form, on default I want to disable spell 
checking

I thought I could do this with the view property wk spell enable

$viewProps[wk spell enable]:=false
WP SET VIEW PROPERTIES(*;$wpro_area;$viewProps)


However, when doing this the spelling options in the context menu are gone, and 
in the write pro toolbar the "enable spelling" button is disabled
So, the user cannot enable spell cheking

Is there another way to disable spell checking? (On load, without the write pro 
area having the focus)
Im a doing something wrong?

Gr,
Piotr
