Plugins with Community Edition

[Terence Heaford]

Hi,

One of the methods suggested for the use of the Community Edition was for 
producing in-house applications.

Unless I am mistaken it does not seem possible to fulfil this promise when 
using commercial plugins that have password protection.

Is that correct or am I missing something?


All the best

Terry

It is quite considerably out of date.

Just downloaded the Android SDK linked from the lesson at 
http://lessons.runrev.com/s/lessons/m/4069/l/27389-how-do-i-become-an-android-developer-on-a-mac
 and built a simple test stack with one button. Test in Android and nothing but 
a black screen. This is a new stack with one card and no scripts whatsoever.

Livecode 5.5.4 and Android SDK Platform Android 2.2, API 8, revision 3

No, it could be anywhere. For 1.0 I think all I need is slow, peer-to-peer
messaging, for small (usually < a few hundred bytes, but occasionally
larger) messages, but in fairly large quantities -- it could easily be 100s
messages/user/day, which is why Parse's free 1,000,000 API calls/mo likely
wouldn't work.

Re: LC Community version - what's included ?

[Martin Koob]

When some one starts working the on-rev editor here are a couple of things to
put on the todo list.

Copy bug.

Copy with 'control' - C does not work.
Cut with 'Control' -X does not work

You can copy by dragging a selection with the option key down however.

Paste with  'Control'-V does work
Undo with 'Control'-Z does work (1 level of undo)

Debug bug on subdomains

There is also a problem with debugging when working on a subdomain

I haven't investigated fully but it looks like all the code is there to turn 
that on for a server build. The on-rev client is not currently in the repo I 
don't think. I'm not sure if RunRev ever promised to open source that but it 
would be nice if they did seeing as it doesn't seem to get any maintenance. 
Perhaps someone in the community would take over maintenance on that???

Re: Reading directly from Excel

Hi Skip,

I added Curry Kenworthy's SpreadLib into one tool for a client and it 
works like a charm. Their spreadsheets are similar but not identical 
formats, but that doesn't stop anything from working. The spreadsheet is 
loaded into a data grid where they can work with it in their LC app's 
environment.


The only SpreadLib link I'm aware of is here:

Yeah, I know ... the standard answer is something like

But, I'd specifically like to know

Does it include the on-rev client ?

Does LCServer community include the remote debugging capability ?

Message-ID: <002a01ce3ac7$5856ceb0$09046c10$@net>

A couple of years ago, I built a prototype LC application to directly access 
spreadsheet data.

I used the OpenOffice API.  I got it working enough to prove the concept.

I researched it enough to know the same concept would work with the Google API.

I didn’t pursue the challenge because the client’s project didn’t survive their 
budget cuts.

Programming the API isn’t difficult.  Just time consuming.

I just put this in and it will be a great help I think in setting up and 
testing further apps.

Thanks Mike,

Re: iOS Push Certificate not showing up for Provisioning Profile

[Thomas McGrath III]

Well now I am sending and getting my first PNs and it is an awesome feeling. I 
now need to finish the server setup and then on to Android.

This took me about three hours to work through the first time step by step, 
problem by problem. Then after I trashed it all and started again this time 
using the APNS Assistant it was less than twenty minutes. I am hoping the next 
time it even smoother and faster.

   put 1 into i
   repeat while i<= the number of characters in me
  if char i of me is not in "0123456789abcdefABCDEF" then
 delete char i of me
  else -- char i of me is hex
 add 1 to i

you have to remove the spaces.  I tweaked John's code so that it pulls out
the brackets (gt/lt) and the spaces.

Take care to verify that you have authorized your test devices to receive both 
the normal iOS dev profile (Xcode does this for you). and the Push one in the 
Apple Provisioning Portal (select the Push dev profile and edit it to get the 
next window appears and let you select the devices you want the Push dev 
profile to be installed on). That done, go back to Xcode and click on the 
refresh button of the Provisioning Profiles tab to get the need Push 
provisioning profile installed on the previously selected (on the Apple dev 
portal side) test devices.

Re: iOS Push Certificate not showing up for Provisioning Profile

[Thomas McGrath III]

Mike and all,

First thank you Mike for getting back to me. I have successfully sent a PNS to 
my Livecode app on the device. The other problem I had was that 
mobileGetDeviceToken() returns a number that is divided by spaces after every 
eight numbers/letters and that the APNS Assistant should not have them in order 
to send out a push notification. 

I wonder if that will also be a problem when I get the server set up?

Tom

Re: iOS Push Certificate not showing up for Provisioning Profile

[Thomas McGrath III]

OK, So I deleted everything and started over.

What I noticed is that the Certificate Generation had a team ID that did not 
match the one that I use normally (don't know where it comes from or why) so I 
changed to the ID that I normally use and this time instead of following the 
Lesson I used John's "Apple Push Notification Server Assistant" to build out 
the certs and PEMs and then created a new App ID and generated the new 
certificate. Finally I created a new provisioning profile and and new build and 
now the device will 'take' the Livecode app built with this new provisioning 
profile.

All seems good until I try to type in the device token reported back from my 
device into the APNS Assistant. I keep getting an error at line 28 stating the 
binaryEncode: invalid data for parameter near: "x my token number "

Has anyone run into problems with that before

Thanks

Tom

Re: iOS Push Certificate not showing up for Provisioning Profile

[Mike Kerner]

Hey, Tom,
The developer portal just changed a couple of days ago, so it's unlikely
that any lesson will be current.
1) Make sure that when you look at the App ID that under "Application
Services" Push Notifications are Enabled.
2) In that same list, at the bottom, your Development SSL Certification
should appear.  You can download it from there if XCode won't automatically
get it for you.
3) The App IDs are the most difficult part of the whole thing.  They should
be unique, and the APNs privileges are tied to it.  You can't junk them if
you decide to start over.

Email me some screen shots off list and we'll get you through this if the
above doesn't help enough.

Re: fontSizes bust in 6.0

[Jacques Hausser]

Hi Pete,

For ages I was also frustrated by the poor choice of sizes proposed by the text 
formating inspector, and used the more flexible Text menu… before discovering 
that if you type a value instead of selecting it, the inspector takes the typed 
value.
(By the way, the "other…" size in Text menu is broken in 6, but it should be 
fixed in the next update).

As for the backward compatibility, I'm not absolutely sure (I'm not a collector 
of old versions), but I suspect that the 9-72 list of sizes was something 
rather recent. In older versions, as far as I remember, it behaved as described 
in the dictionary.

iOS Push Certificate not showing up for Provisioning Profile

[Thomas McGrath III]

Hello all,

I am trying to build a sample app for testing my push notification server.
I am following the lesson at: 
http://lessons.runrev.com/s/lessons/m/4069/l/53405-how-do-i-use-push-notifications-with-ios

Even though that lesson is out dated I was able to:
Create a Development Certificate for this push app: In the Developer Portal it 
states the name as "com.lrs.SkinDeepTattooGallery" and type as "APNs 
Development iOS"
Create an App ID: In the Portal it states Name as "SkinDeepTattooGallery" and 
ID as "com.lrs.SkinDeepTattooGallery"
Create a Provisioning Profile: In the Portal it states Name as 
"SkinDeepTattooGallery" and type as development and status as "Active"

But when I assign this profile in a standalone and then try to drop it on my 
device in the xCode Organizer I get the error: "The executable was signed with 
invalid entitlements. The entitlements specified in your application's Code 
Signing Entitlements file do not match those specified in your provisioning 
profile."

So I go back to the Provisioning Portal and select the Development Provisioning 
Profile and it only lists my normal "iOS Development: Thomas McGrath II (iOS 
Development)" in the list of Certificates when I edit the SkinDeepTattooGallery 
Profile. It does not list the Certificate created earlier in the Developer 
Portal. So I go and check and the com.lrs.SkinDeepTattooGallery as type "APNs 
Development" is still there as a valid certificate BUT it does not show up as a 
choice in the Provisioning Profile. So I can not build an app in Livecode 
because it will be invalid.

I was under the impression from the Lesson that each app had to have a "NEW" 
certificate, unique App ID and Provisioning Profile for Push Notification. Yet 
the new certificate does not show up in Apple's Provisioning Profile for my 
profile BUT my regular Certificate does show up.

Has anyone run into this and know how to correct for this?

Is it possible to use my existing regular 'for Development' Certificate that is 
listed and just edit that for use with Push or do I truly need a unique one as 
the lesson states?

If so is there a step I missed or how do I get the 'Push' Certificate to show 
up in the list of available certificates in that Profile?

Thanks to all who can help.

Tom

go this card of stack "ABC"

or just

go stack "ABC" -- goes to current card of that stack if stack is open

Doing a copy from the Excel cells and a paste into LiveCode doesn't quite work. 
But, doing a paste into a text editor, and then a paste into LiveCode, does

update a MySql database. It was easy until I needed to "get char 3 of word 5
of line 2 of var" and then I got a headache. I would also LOVE to use LC for
these type of things. I thought about exporting to a csv and using LC but it
was too messy. I also remember that Curry Kenworth was working on a
solution. I wonder what the status of that project is?

Is there any way to read in cells directly from an Excel spreadsheet (not
CSV)?

Would make my life on my current project a lot easier if I could!  If not, I
guess I could always write a command line script that would covert it over
to CSV before manipulating it in LC.

Just thought I would ask before going down that road.

Re: fontSizes bust in 6.0

[Peter Haworth]

Hi Jacques,
Thanks for checking this out.  It might be more logical but it's not
backward compatible and it's not mentioned anywhere in the release notes
that I could find - not a good combination!

I also notice that, for Verdana, the Inspector Text Formatting tab returns
the "6,8,12,18,24" in both 5.5.4 and 6.0.  Presumably this because the menu
is scripted to return this set of values for scalable fonts.

Re: What's the best way to store data that one iOS app sends to another?

[Mark Wilcox]

Makes sense. If the pricing model is a major factor you might also want to look 
at StackMob. I believe they have unlimited free use of their basic feature set.

AFAIK, specialFolderPath() can only take one of a specified list of arguments, 
and ".my Muck" is not one of them. Does it not work to do this: 
   put specialFolderPath("Home") into hFolder
   put hFolder & ".myMuck/" into muckFolder
   set the defaultFolder to muckFolder
   export snapshot from group "PAIR" to file "PAIR.png" as PNG
??

Re: Reading directly from Excel

[Andrew Kluthe]

Curry Kenworth has been working on a library for that for some time.
SpreadLib handles importing, SpreadOut handles exporting.


I contacted him off list about it a while back and March 26th he said:

"SpreadLib and SpreadOut currently have funding for the basic features and
just need a little more time. (I had a ridiculous string of health problems
and am trying to catch up.) Shouldn't be too long now."

Albeit, these are probably only going to work with commercial versions of
livecode 6+, unless he decides to dual license them.

No, but the early, non-optimized stage the app is likely to send many small
messages, so firebase's bandwidth-based billing sounds better than parse's
message-based billing.

Does it actually not work at all? Assuming it maintains its 'dmg' 
extension, can you right-click on it and open it properly from the 
contextual menu, or change its info? It may be that without the 
webserver and browser passing on the mime-type to the OS that the 
problem is that the OS can't determine what kind of file it is, and 
therefore it it seen as just a text file. In this case, setting the 
fileType to "empty" (see user notes in the dictionary) might get it to 
mount. I found that images saved from LiveCode weren't recognized as 
such by OS X, when I was using it and wanted to open in a text editor. 
It may be that LiveCode saves things as "text" files by default in OS X.


Good luck,

Warren

Re: revOpenDatabase server syntax

I tried this with my MS-SQL Server and it works after changing the port

put "192.168.178.67,55999" into aPrefs["DBServer"]
put "myDB" into aPrefs["DBDatabase"]
put "sa" into aPrefs["DBUser"]
put "myPassword" into aPrefs["DBPassword"]

put revOpenDatabase("ODBC","DRIVER=SQL Server;SERVER=" & 
aPrefs["DBServer"] \

& ";DATABASE=" & aPrefs["DBDatabase"] & ";UID=" & aPrefs["DBUser"] \

If you provide a connection string like that, you don't have to create a 
DNS.

Server Migration, Thor and Freyr servers

[dwilliams]

Dear List Members,

As many of you already know, we are currently carrying out a migration  
from our on-rev server cluster to vastly upgraded servers, in order to  
improve the level of service we can offer you. This does involve some  
minimum disruption during the process, and we apologise if you have  
been affected by this. The next phase involves moving all account  
holders on the Thor and Freyr servers to the new location. Some of you  
have already been moved, but I would like to invite anybody who would  
like to be transferred as soon as possible to contact me via the  
hosting support email address, on-...@runrev.com. We will be starting  
the main transfer of accounts from these servers in the coming  
fortnight.


Regards,

-David Williams, Server Admin

Hello Richmond,


you have to use the windows shell command attrib

e.g.  attrib +H 

use it in livecode with the shell() function

e.g.

put the directory into tPathAndFilename
replace "/" with "\" in tPathAndFilename

-- if tPathAndFilename contains spaces then
-- put quote & tPathAndFilename & quote into tPathAndFilename

put "attrib +H" && tPathAndFilename into tCmd

put shell(tCmd) into tErr

I've heard some good things about Firebase but it's primarily about sending 
small chunks of realtime data. Is that what you want for your app? The REST API 
doesn't look well supported for the realtime aspect, since I don't know how 
you'd get callbacks to work with LiveCode on iOS/Android (without using an 
external).

Yes, although for Firebase I'm not even sure you need to set anything up in the 
HTTP headers - looks like LiveCode will do GET, PUT, POST and DELETE for you 
without setting custom headers - worth a go. To do PATCH looks like you need 
libURLSetCustomHTTPHeaders, assuming that works on iOS/Android - a quick Google 
found a forum post that said it didn't but that may be out of date. Perhaps one 
of the LiveCode mobile experts will confirm the current situation on custom 
HTTP methods for you?

> 2. Would (1) work on an iOS/Android device?


Never tried it but I assume it must - if it doesn't there's some low-hanging 
fruit for a contribution there.

I haven't written any code yet for either possibility, but the language on
firebase's web site makes sense to me -- with one (or two) question(s).

1. Am I correct that hitting a REST API from LC involves setting parameters

Re: fontSizes bust in 6.0

[Jacques Hausser]

Hi Peter,

I just compared the fontSizes in 5.5.4 and 6.0.0. 
In 5.5.4, the Fontsizes returns every numbers from 9 to 72, one number per 
line, for any scalable font. For bitmap fonts, it returns the installed sizes 
only.
In 6.0.0, the fontSizes returns 0. For bitmap fonts, it returns the installed 
sizes only.
Now, in BOTH versions, you can very well set the textSize to any other number, 
say, 128, and the scalable fonts display perfectly well. (the bitmap fonts 
display an ugly magnified version).
So I think that, since the scalable fonts can be displayed in any size, the 0 
is more logical than a truncated size list.

Jacques

Re: Saving into invisible folders ?

[Richmond]

AND, v. happy to report that the reverse also works:

on mouseDown
   set the defaultFolder to specialFolderPath("Home") & "/.pox"
end mouseDown

on mouseUp
   import paint from file "Stack.png"
end mouseUp



I am stiil wondering whether the ".XXX" format
works for invisible folders in Windows.

Richmond.
