Hi Andre, I have already worked with all of those for years. Thanks for the warning anyway.

Re: Forum Software LC?
Hi Richard, Why is Discourse better than Dat-course? LOL Discourse is $50 per month! No free option for that. Thanks for your input.

Re: Forum Software LC?
Just be aware that discord has horrible threading. Never run your own stuff on the web unless you’re really sure what you’re doing (unless it is read-only stuff). Preventing SQL and Scripting injection is not a trivial thing to do and in that sense LiveCode and PHP are kinda the same. Doing a forum in LiveCode is a cool experience and will teach you a lot, but if you’re gonna do it, you will need to be prepared to get really good into other aspects of development beyond LiveCode. You’ll need a very good grasp of Web technologies such as HTML, CSS, JS. You will also need a good understanding of servers, protocols, and databases. As Richard said, it is not an easy project. > On 18 Sep 2023, at 18:57, Richard Gaskin via use-livecode > wrote: > > Rick Harrison wrote: >> Has anyone built Forum Software with LiveCode? > There are a lot of PHP >> ones, but I have yet to > find one that was built with LiveCode. > > PHP is >> hacked all the time, and I have found > hacker bots that try to hack my >> server all > the time by exploiting holes in PHP.

Software is almost always more affordable to buy than build, and most forum packages these days are FOSS and free of cost. Crafting the user experience alone would take months to do well. And if you think security is lacking in established packages see what happens when you roll your own. ;) Use Discourse. There are others, but Discourse is currently the go-to choice for new forums. Great UX, open source. Another option that's become increasingly popular is to ditch hosting your own forum altogether and using Discord instead. Forums can be set up there for free, with native mobile apps available and rich APIs if you need to customize anything. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: Your scripts as a flowchart
Getting a full export is a tricky business, and I’m looking at various solutions. The easiest workaround is to launch the flowchart in a web browser and print to PDF from there. On Windows/Linux the flowchart is shown that way anyway, and on Mac you load it in a web browser by shift-clicking the Create flowchart button. The obvious downside of printing to pdf is that you get page breaks that split up the flowchart. Another workaround is to paste the Mermaid code into an online editor like https://mermaid.live and then export to PNG from there. What looks more promising for actually solving it in-stack though, is using the command-line interface (CLI) for Mermaid to generate an svg/png/pdf file: https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid-cli I’ll experiment with that and see what I can come up with. :) > As an aside, I don't know whether to be proud or horrified at the map > Navigator produces… Yeah, I know the feeling… :D /Andreas > 18 sep. 2023 kl. 03:38 skrev Geoff Canyon via use-livecode > : > > Is there a way to export the entire flowchart, instead of just the portion > currently displayed? > > As an aside, I don't know whether to be proud or horrified at the map > Navigator produces... > > On Sat, Sep 16, 2023 at 8:04 PM Geoff Canyon wrote: > >> Ah, okay, that explains it.
