Re: Accessing Amazon Database?
Hi Kee I am a database developer and I am also familiar with Amazon's seller reports. The reports can be exported so the data is available to use in a database.

Re: [OT] Filemaker and Hindi
Hi Colin Are you trying to use Hindi for the FileMaker screen text, or in the fields where the user adds data? Option 1 I add a global field example _Text Header to the layout using a Merge Field, then I use a calculation to equal the value assigned and assign that value from a field with the name I want the Merge field to contain. Then on a layout I call the language translation screen, I collect both the merge field and the field that will get the text I want to use on the layout. When you type the language (any language) in the text field, the merge global will display that text. Option 2 If you want all of the text in the program in a different language, set the language text for FileMaker (Preferences, Fonts, then select the text font to be used.) If you have the original install DVD the language files are on that DVD. If you don't have the disc, go to FileMaker.com/support and download the country language fonts you want to use. Option 3 Localization of the OS, by setting the language for your OS to the language required, all test will be set to the local country.

Not LiveCode - Bug code
Hi how to I stayed off the list for quite a while because I feel that LiveCode is a continuous beta test. Nearly every time I start to use it I run to bugs that prevent me from finishing a app. The implications are that every time you finish an application and want to upload it to Apple, that it may have a bug or many bugs that will prevent the application from performing correctly. For that reason, I decided to wait until there was a bug free version that was reliable for apps on iTunes. Unfortunately, eight months have passed where what I called bug code is still not a finished product. It's hard enough just to understand all the different versions that are out there, without trying to traverse the one that would work correctly. I've never seen a product developed in this way where there are several versions for users that are not out of beta test. I paid very good money for a product that has a lot of potential. But when I received is the longest beta test I've ever experienced. My suggestion is to LiveCode, get a finished full released version that people can use with reliability! Then you can continue your beta test on the side until you have a full release version with all the new features. It seems like I get another version of LiveCode every week or two, and the disclaimer on the releases use it at your own risk. If this is the case, where again to be spending months without a release copy that is bug free, then LiveCode needs to extend our license until a full release copy is available. I didn't pay for a beta copy, I paid for a full released product. It's time for LiveCode to understand that a community of beta testers cannot be satisfied until there is a full released version with no bugs.

Re: Not LiveCode - Bug code
Hi How to Does 6.6.5 provide support for all the new IOS 8 features, and also does auto sizing for different screens? Shortly Apple will require 64 bit for new app submissions. What is the status of this requirement for Feb 2015? If it is not available, you will not be able to submit your app to Apple. By the way I had to stop using 6.7 due to bugs that are not yet fixed.

Try version 6.6.5, which has been very reliable for me, or 6.7 which is stable for most uses. Those are final releases. The others are indeed betas that you can ignore until they go final. They are available for testing, but if you don't want to do that you don't need to. The pre-releases are provided so that developers can know what is coming and test their apps against new features, but they are expected to have bugs. Version 7.0 is a huge rewrite that affects the entire core of the engine. Think of it as gutting your entire house and rebuilding from the foundation on up. It implements not only unicode, but restructuring the entire engine, which touches almost every one of several million lines of code. The project is an immense undertaking and will not be bug-free for quite some time. This restructuring is a one-time thing that will allow us to do far more than the engine can currently provide. But due to the scope of the changes, it will take time to complete. Because users needed Cocoa support for Mac, RR introduced that in version 6.7, writing it in tandem with the 7.0 overhaul. That way iOS apps could still be developed while the larger rewrite was in progress. The two share bug fixes for the features they have in common. Once 7.0 is finalized, version 6.7 will no longer be necessary. The short answer is -- avoid the pre-release versions and stick with the last stable version if you don't want to be involved in the testing process. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ 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 ___ 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: hair-pulling frustration
The student example Your comment is interesting BUT; Instructors need to test the curricula before, during and after the instruction. The question is, is it the instruction, the testing or the student having the problem. It all comes back to the testing. The teacher who does not test the instruction fails. The instruction that is not tested will fail. The student that is not learning from the instruction fails. The bottom line, no testing no learning. This forum is the best source for learning at this time, your comments allow the students to learn, the teachers You are helping us all to learn. Lastly you're wasting time explaining what your not doing. NOT TESTING!

Re: Helping newcomers anticipate that standalones can't save to themselves
Hi Richard This is a good opening topic that can solicit comments. I have passed through the frustration about documentation already, and I find I live on the How To email to find answers. The forums seem to take forever to get answers. Considering that the How To offers a good reference platform, wouldn't make sense to build on the knowledgebase of the How to to provide for a more organized reference tool? Can the How to be improved like the forum where topics are simpler to locate using a category and keywords. I've used the current system for the How to listings and I have found it difficult to find answers based on the current search approach.

After that I looked for stacks that had a similar use or techniques to the project I wanted to build (I still do to an extent), to find ideas and learn about how LC works in ways that I maybe don't know or understand. My biggest frustration at the time was the disjointed documentation and lack of structured tutorials, many people have also made the same comments over the years. I feel the tutorials especially have improved and the documentation is improving slowly. Thinking back to when I discovered that I needed an anchor window (or splash screen), again I had to do more research to find out what was needed until I eventually understood the reasons and principles behind this process. Maybe this could be addressed with a good, well structured My First Application tutorial that ships with each new user download, or a package that's easily visible and readily available for new users to download. Currently there is just a free mobile template that tries to entice users to download the community version. I'm sure there are enough teachers and ex-teachers on this list that could maybe help with this. A well structured tutorial can help to guide the new user with the right techniques from the start. Moving forward from the anchor window (or splash screen), I also feel a series of basic project templates (or starting points) could be useful, not as complex as the GLX framework, but something that already has an anchor window, preferences, menu bar and a few basic (commented) scripts for printing, saving etc. Obviously these templates would be different for desktop, mobile or tablet, but starting from a template rather than a single empty stack would eventually help to guide the new user towards a better understanding of the techniques needed for each platform.

Re: Helping newcomers anticipate that standalones can't save to themselves
Hi All My first look at LC a year ago: Was it just me or do you find that many of the reference documents and media are not well written. As I have stated in the past, as a newbie I found the media incomplete and misleading in many areas. Today: Since that time I have come to understand that LiveCode is a horse of many colors and it does exist in the land of OZ. What is difficult to understand as a newbie is the vast number of things you can do with LiveCode. The scope of design approaches available and the way the design varies depending upon your expectations and ability to formulate the requirements. Looking forward: The transition period since the Kickstarter funding has been a big distraction for new users. Its hard to get started alone track the many versions and changes afoot. I am looking forward to a calmer time when you can see the results of your work and not having to deal with bugs and version issues.

My company has always supported all iPad models, so I’ve just gotten use to providing everything that LiveCode has a space for. You can still get retina screen shots. Just use the simulator. In the Hardware menu, select a retina device profile and re-launch your app. Then use Cmd-S to save a shot of whatever screens you’d like. They’ll save to your desktop and can be uploaded to iTunes Connect. As I mentioned before, I would highly recommend testing your app in the simulator with a retina device profile selected. I guarantee you retina device users will download your app, and if it doesn’t look decent or run smoothly, it’ll cause problems. And if it’s at all possible to get your hands on a retina device to test on, do it. The simulator works “mostly” well for testing, but it’s still not the same as testing on an actual device.

First LC Submission to iTunes
Hi This is my first submission to iTunes using LiveCode after 1 year of work. I have a few questions: Because so many things have changed with LiveCode in the last several months, would it be better to use iTunes Connect to setup the files for submission to iTunes? Do I need to add anything to my openStack script to for my 1024 x 768 iPad screen to auto size between normal and retina screen resolutions? Is there a LiveCode description as to the settings of the splash screen, and the other screen captures for the LiveCode / iTunes connect submissions? This would include the different icon sizes and resolutions? What I am trying to find out is if there is a difference between the two approaches?

Re: Image control in a Background
Hi This morning I did some testing to address the image updating in the current card in the image control and did not come up with a solution that worked. I have the On OpenCard script that is working to add the image to the image control, and as before the on OpenCard script cannot update the image field in the open card because the script has already triggered. I tried to use a button on the card to refresh the image field to display the last edited image, but everything I tried had no effect? I tried to have the image assigned to the card id to reload using this in the button: *on mouseUp* *if* the number of this card 1 *then* *set* the defaultfolder to specialFolderPath (documents) /photos/ *if* there is a file the short id of this card *then* *put* specialFolderPath (documents) /photos/ the short ID of this card into thePath *set* the filename of image imageField1 of this card to thepath *end* *if* *end* *if* *end mouseUp* I am I totally off base trying to use this approach?

Re: Image control in a Background
Hi Simon I was testing to see what might work to finish adding the image without having to leave the card and return to trigger the openCard script again? I thought a button script Update Image button might trigger the update? I used a portion of the open card script thinking it would work. Since the image was added to the photos subfolder thePath reloading it again might be a way to update the image in the control while not leaving the card? It did not have any effect, so I am not sure how to make it update the image without leaving the card. - I not only have to leave the card, but open another card and return to have it update the image now. - I thought to move to another card and then return, but I trapped myself by using a datagrid to select the card to be opened, and a simple goto card and return script messes up the datagrid row update. I have a button to close the card now and return to the datagrid. This allows me to select another card in the datagrid to view, and then I must return to the grid when finished. The process of going back to the datagrid and then returning to the same card will not update the image. But going to a different card, returning, and then opening the original card does update the image as you would expect when the open card script is triggered.

Re: Image control in a Background
Hi Simon Very interesting link you included. The stack is another great reference material that is undocumented. It only took me about three minutes to understand what he was trying to accomplish here. I did a version similar to this in FileMaker while back so that I could do quick searches by a word or phrase to find answers to my scripting tasks. I offered it to of the developers not knowing that this stack was available. This is the kind of thing that needs to be developed and updated by LC for all developers. I have an issue with LC in that they want to sell instruction at pretty high cost when it should be included in the product documentation. I understand they're trying to use this to raise capital to keep the business running, but it also doesn't help to retain new users who struggle to learn live code and to afford the expensive instructional content offered by LC. The latest example was a summer school. I'm not saying that this is not good for people that have in less money to spend. Most new developers simply can't afford to spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars a year to learn LC. For example; Apple just released a new programming language for Xcode swift, and they supplied a 600 page PDF document defining how to use swift to design ISO apps. In addition to that they have an online help system that has heaps of technical assistance available to all users. One caveat about the help is that it does include developer support for general questions at no cost. They also include many PDFs and instructional videos. Obviously the user base is a lot larger than live code, but if you're going to provide a product like live code at a minimum you need to provide adequate instructional media. Looking at the how-to forum is clear that there are endless questions by developers but cannot find the proper instructional media. Enough preaching most new developers understand by now the shortfall in instructional media. I just answered Scott Rossi's email that describes the issue, and some questions and comments. Please refer to that in this how-to email. Your comment: Now you could continue doing it the way you have it setup in your openCard script and in the mouseUp, just make sure to; set the filename of image imageField1 of this card to( is shorthand for empty) Where I mention it in the above post. Trust me I had your script running with only removing the then correcting the spelling and that line. Please clarify why this line is used: set the filename of image imageField1 of this card to( is shorthand for empty) Where in the script are you using this to empty the image control. And why would you empty the image control? Sorry for the novice question, but not to ask the question doesn't help to get the answer.

Now you could continue doing it the way you have it setup in your openCard script and in the mouseUp, just make sure to; set the filename of image imageField1 of this card to( is shorthand for empty) Where I mention it in the above post. Trust me I had your script running with only removing the then correcting the spelling and that line. Now I'm not sure what impact on performance of using it when all the images get updated but it probably doesn't matter as I think the things like that are only set when the card opens. If it does then yes, you have to break the image out of the group.

Actually it was the only way to get the script to work on mobile when I actually put it on my device. You are correct in that aside from the small errors the code should run perfectly. I figured it had something to do with coming out of the photo library. The first time you add/change the photo it works as it should but if you decide that you don't like that photo and try to change it then it gets all frumpy and throws all it's toys out of the cradle -set the filename of image imageField1 of this card to - does the trick. One other improvement I found set the loc of the templateImage to -1,-1 Makes it very slow in coming out of the photo library set the vis of the templateImage to false Is much much faster. Both of these things are mobile related only. Or... it's just me.

Re: Image control in a Background
Hi I am somewhat closer to the solution? I tested the correction that J. Landman Gay suggested where I remove the then at the end of the this line: set the defaultfolder to specialFolderPath (documents) /photos/ then -- This had the effect of not updating the image in any card. When I added it back in, the image control will not change all of the cards now, but it will not update the current image either until I go to a different card and return to find the image then updated to the correct image. The script now does not change all of the cards, it just does not update while the image control is being edited. As I found out the update only occurs after I return to the edited card. It seems that the script is not making the image control update at the time of the edit. Can you suggest a correction?

Re: Image control in a Background
Hi I am trying to understand the usage of a image control when it is used in a group background: The issue: when I add a image from the IOS library to the BG image control in the background it replaces the current card image and all other images in all card backgrounds in the stack that uses that image control. So, here is my question; when I set the special folder path and the card id and put the last image in the control of that card ID on openCard, why would it replace all of the images in all of the cards? - Is there a special way to Set the image from the Photos folder in the script? - Can the image control be used in a group background? - It was suggested to use a custom property to set the image for the image control. But, I cannot find any examples of where to script the custom control for this purpose. - I read about the custom control, searched the dictionary, viewed all of the RunRev lessons on using the image control, and the User Guide, the IOS reference document. I still have not found the answer to the issue I need to solve.

Image control in a Background

I have a substack with a background group where there is an Image Control is being populated using the mobilePickPhoto library The image is added to the control correctly and displays, but if I leave the card and return the image is gone. To solve this the image is stored in the folder on in the app as per this script: *on* mouseUp /* the image from mobilePickPhoto uses the template image construct set it off screen so we don't see ift flash */ *set* the loc of the templateImage to -1,-1 /*choose a photo*/ mobilePickPhoto library *lock* screen *if* the result cancel *then* /* make the filepath to save the chosen image*/ *put* specialFolderPath(documents) /photos/ the short ID of this card into thePath /* put the image into a file in the photos folder */ *put* the text of the last image of this card into URL(binfile: thePath) /*set the loc of image 1 to the loc of group picgroup' so it will align*/ *--set the loc of image imageField1 to the loc of group picgroup* /* show the image on the card */ *set* the filename of image ImageField1 of this card to thePath /* destroy the image imported from the library */ *delete* the last image of this card *end* *if* *end* mouseUp The image control is supposed load when the card opens and the last photo is to be displayed? *on* openCard *set* the defaultfolder to specialFolderPath (documents) /photos/ *--answer the files* *if* the number of this card 1 *then* *set* the defaultfolder to specialFolderPath (documents) /photos/ *then* *if* there is a file the short id of this card *then* *put* specialFolderPath (documents) /photos/ the short ID of this card into thePath *set* the filename of image imegeField1 of this card to thepath *end* *if* *end* *if* *end* openCard Several different changes were tried and the image still will not load into the card as scripted above.

Re: Documentation
Hi Bill I've been pushing now for a year to get the dictionary and the documentation improved. The World Jam last week was one of the places I mentioned it once again. I have seen small improvement in documentation due to the massive changes being made to LC. I understand the changes required to develop media since I go back to the days of interactive video design course development. I might mention that I've spent hundreds of hours to develop an interactive dictionary for LC using FileMaker, but was slapped in the face by objections from LC users when I offered to host the app where people can use it for a minimal $5 a year cost. It would allow the users to add any new scripting, design notes, and custom properties and functions to the library. It would also be a place where users could trade ideas and design ideas. This being said I stopped on the effort when I got NO SUPPORT. I still want to grow with LC and better understand LC and offer my help to those who would like to share ideas for another option for the dictionary and the documentation.

But, a google search took me to the right lesson on the livecode site, where I found the solution in the user comments. In fact, I’ve found Google searches to be my best friend in finding livecode help. I don’t consider documentation on how to initialize an object to be obscure, though. Seems quite basic, and setting the menuHistory seems like something folks fairly new are not going to guess as something to set to initialize a tabbed button. I don’t consider tutorials as the best repository for documentation for folks who are accustomed to programming, but fairly new to livecode, like me. The problem is the varying depth of documentation that someone needs. For many, the tutorial on the tabbed button would be fine. But as a person advances, a deeper set of information is needed. I would think that the dictionary could include a link to more detailed information, like the properties, to tutorial and examples, etc. Personally, I don’t want to paw through a lot of example stacks trying to find what I need. The example stacks are wonderful as a starter for some, and I will use them too, but adding an object and trying to find out more than the most basic details and commands can be frustrating. The dictionary is helpful, but could be so much more. That said, I am finding livecode to be an excellent platform for performing the kind of work I do, which is to create inquiry resources for educators.

Re: [OFF] Cool Plugins
Hi Richard I see your request for assistance as needed and I would like to help, but based on my limited LC experience I would hinder the progress. I am responding just to say we hear your request, and want to help. I do have an ongoing need to see a better documentation system for users (new users). The consolidation of instructional information is a clear starting point. I am at nearly 1 year using LC and still feel like a beginner. I cannot afford to pay out $499 every time RunRev wants to offer classes. I have contributed thousands of hours and several thousands of $ with no return on the investment. I am not that much different from many of the people who ask questions on this forum where the question never stop popping up and no answers are available.

I agree that it would be best to produce some sort of enhancement for personal annotations that could be used by everyone, Commercial and Community users alike. In an ideal world LiveCode would be everywhere, with a solid majority of its users enjoying the free Community Edition - indeed, that may well be the case already. The Commercial Edition offers a proprietary license - that should be sufficient enticement for those who need that. For everything else, at least where a feature poses no logical conflict with the GPL (such as script encryption), parity between Community and Commercial is a valuable goal. My only hesitation here is with attempting to modify the existing Dictionary stack, esp. given the scope of changes the team is implementing for v7 and beyond.

Re: I'm trying to rally the troops...
Hi Larry I would put it in live code but! The LC issue with relational databases is not so good. That is why the LC people used DataGrids to do the Dictionary and that doesn't present the best way to do searches and to use a relational table design. My issue with LiveCode is you need to first learn the language, and that is a starting point to then learn the scripting. I wanted to develop a tool that allows me to do a global search by a word, or a phrase and then see everything in the entire dictionary that has that word or phrase. It also needs to allow the users to add their own code or definitions data to any part of the dictionary. I wanted it to have subrecords under the main LC dictionary words where the user could add their own custom uses for that term. Then also have user defined search words that are a part of extensions and plugins. I also wanted plugin and extensions developers to add their custom content to the user defined area. Not done yet, then custom behaviors usage and custom property example can be added to the user defined records. The icing on the cake is the built in Google translation editor where users can convert any text to their language. All of the data will be available to edit, copy and paste into external media or scripts. NOTE: I have hundreds of hours in the development and that is only to add data, it will have ongoing support to maintain the dictionary. That does not include the hosting fees. So I will have two types of users, those who can see all of the records, but cannot edit or copy data. Then for an annual donation of $12.00 or $1 month per user you will have full access to all the features like editing copy, paste an so on.

Re: Web Apps
Hi Nakia To some degree LiveCode can do the forms. The following might be helpful: 1. Do you need to have the forms restricted to the current user input? This means that other users cannot view other forms placed by other users. This would mean that a supervisor would have full access where general users would not. 2. You said the users would not be installing anything on their computer. So what you want is an internet based app where the user would sign in and sign out when using the form? 3. When you say the form would be moved along for approval. would this be by the individual form or as a report showing all the forms and the consolidated information?

Think of Human Resource systems such as Leave Requests etc. The Majority of what I do is building approval style systems that allow people to fill in web forms that they then submit to begin a workflow (moves onto the next level of approval etc etc) It needs to have the ability for building reporting as well, Perfect Forms offers the ability to build Reports that are linked back into the Form for reporting purposes. Think Dashboards... Things I see I need 1. Needs to be we based as clients are not happy installing software (if they were I would be using LiveCode Applications) 2. As I am not familiar with any other language than LiveCode it needs to be simple to use to set up Logic, Conditions, Equations etc 3. Needs to be able to send HTML style emails when workflows move through different stages (with PDF attachments would be great!) Noting above, needs to be able to send reminder emails based on certain conditions 4. Support is a big thing as this is Perfect Forms biggest downfall.

Re: Crowd Funding Enhancements
Hi Awhile back I proposed a (How to) to offer a LC Codebook for all users to use online to manage their scripts and several other types of LC content. I only got a minimal interest. I am still learning LiveCode like so many other developers. I found the LiveCode has a rather good Dictionary if you have the time to thumb through the current 1900+ records. It occurred to me to learn LiveCode a novice or better developer needs a better interface and to add code tracking in the distionary. If this could be hosted and allow all users to add their script knowledge to this dictionary along with custom properties, and custom functions it would be a real asset. I would also have the app able to use a very good search feature across any data or fields in the database where keywords or phrases can be searched. This would call all elements for any dictionary element/s in a selected group to be reviewed. The current dictionary is not very useful if you have to search across the entire dictionary. I am about half way through the dictionary adding the body of records. When it is done I will offer the dictionary to all users.

Re: Be This Guy
Hi
I would be more concerned that they were not trying to do ads and did not
watch the cash flow. It sounds like they are doing the things they need to
do to be a business. My one thing is that they treat everyone equal. For
example I paid for training that was $100.00 to learn things that should be
included in the product user guides. Now 2 weeks after I paid for the
programs one of them is now offered for free. Most companies would check
back a refund the fees for any user who paid within the last 30 days. Now I
feel that I am not being treated equal to the people who are getting the
free training.
Thank you

Why do I feel that RunRev have been scraping the barrel recently?
I wonder if the, unintended, result of their open source initiative is
that their income has
dropped considerably; hence the rather childish adverts.
My e-mail inboxes (I have 2 e-mail addresses that are personal and one for
my Devawriter)
seem to get at least one RunRev advert a day, and, as such, I don't mind
that.
But there is something I don't like; the implication of these adverts
seems to be that any old moron
can write computer programs ; something that is palpably not true. And my
ego feels bruised by
the corollary that if any old moron can write computer programs with
Livecode then I must be any old moron (and I'm not; I'm a special type of
moron in a category of my own).
Certainly that BE THIS GUY (Who would you rather be? and the answer is
'anybody else') advert does not
do RunRev many favours; it comes out of the British 'dumb everything down
to the stage where its just simply insulting' school of thought that seems
to be pretty well all pervasive throughout the British Isles.
This started with the slightly prognathous girl on the new RunRev website
who is spacing out with her
mall-rat friends (Scottish valley girls; the open sewer that runs between
Edinburgh and Glasgow, starting
with Westerhailes [heroin capital of the world] and moving through
Hamilton [Buckfast tonic wine capital
of the world]; 2 national disgraces and social bombsites whichever way you
look at them) and has moved slowly down-market from there ('down market'
from Westerhailes I hear you ask; well, I did see somebody injecting
themselves with heroin in a carpark right smackdown by the river Tay in
Dundee in 2003; so, if one thinks about parts of Lochee and Hilltown, it is
just about possible).
As somebody who has learnt about 9 programming languages (and most of the
people on the RunRev use-list will better me there), I am well aware that
learning to program is NOT for any old moron, and to imply so
with Tracy Beaker on Speed types of adverts is disingenuous insofar as
it gives any moronic programmer wannabees out there a distinctly wrong
impression, and it will drive away more intelligent and motivated typoes
towards programming languages/IDEs/packages that don't promote themselves
through kiddy-crap.
The whole thing reminds me of a Steve Martin film called The Jerk,
where, at one point, Steve Martin, playing the epynomous lead character, is
drinking some multicolored cocktail out of a glass with a paper umbrella in
it, and pointing at an advert the same cocktail saying be somebody.
With 8 x 1 hour long lessons and a 1 hour 1-1 Skype Session and a Live
QA Session every week you could produce the #1 selling app.
Possibly; but not if you are a person who wants to be somebody in the
way the advert presents things.
RunRev produce a fantastic product; a product that can produce simple
Powerpoint-like slideshows to incredibly complicated stuff (my Devawriter
being about 25% along that line); so advertising Livecode like
this is just doing RunRev a disservice.
--
Jump on me.
Agree.
Disagree.
BUT; Please, don't keep quiet. I do feel that as parts of what RunRev
choose to call a 'community' and
like to tell us that we have some sort of say and input on what their
company does, we should voice our opinions in this respect (as well as all
the others).

Re: FieldFormatter: Working group
Hi Hugh This is really a breath of fresh air in that LC is starting to grow up. I have been saying for awhile that LiveCode will evolve or go away. It may take developers to move the stake forward in the way other software languages have come of age. I believe that when the developers start adding externals and plugins to LC it will start to be a better product. I understand that there are currently some externals out there, but there is a ton of new capability that can still be added. For example, I spent weeks learning how to do programming tasks that should be built into LiveCode in the properties dialog. It was all the things your offering in your properties in this email. This should not require hours of coding to get such a simple task done. Plus you also covered things that I did not take time to add like the comma for thousands. That should also be a properties item in LiveCode just like the numeric settings.

The properties palette, syntax and integration are all in place and working. - What is its purpose? In short it separates data from display. Field contents can, for example, be displayed as currency (or any other arbitrary unit of measure), percentage, dateTime, time duration or 'privatised', with numeric fields additionally owning their own numberFormat, negative color, and thousands separator. The underlying 'text' (or data) is unchanged; as soon as the field loses focus or as soon as we programmatically change any of the properties, the field contents change to reflect the new property settings. - How do we use it? Either using the properties palette or by script, we can 'set the percentage of fld n to true' : so 0.2 can be displayed as 20% 'set the numeric of fld n to true/false' : so only numbers can be entered 'set the displayChars of fld n to $ : so 10 can be displayed as $10 'set the numericFormat of fld n to 0.00' : so 10 can be displayed as $10.00 'set the showThousands of fld n to true' : so 1250 can be displayed as $1,250.00 'set the privateChars of fld n to ..' : so pa55w0rd can be displayed as privatised text 'set the defaultText of fld n to Enter a date here...' : so empty fields can display gray text help 'set the dhms of fld n to true' : so 70.38 can be displayed as 01 : 10.4 'set the isUSformat of fld n to false' : so 3/6/13 can be displayed as 3 June 2013 'set the dateTimeFormat of fld n to -MMM-dd' : so 3/6/13 can be displayed as 2013-Jun-03 [.../...] etc then 'put the rawtext of fld n into tQty' : so we can get the data rather than the field contents 'set the rawtext of fld total to tQty * tCost' : so we can manipulate the data and retain formatted displays. [.../...] etc. It should all 'just happen' intuitively. It works with both the LC and MC IDE development environments, so clicking twice on a field will show the new palette along with the existing IDE palettes. - What is needed? A small group of (preferably seasoned) developers to [1] review the palette UI [2] check integration and functionality [3] critique and make suggestions, especially about the property names and further functionality [4] discuss, propose and share with a cc to others involved [5] thrash the cr*p out of it :) If interested, please let me know off-list. I agree with Richard G and am hoping this concept will become mainstream, but it has to 'go with the flow' and be a seamless extension to the existing 'feel' of LiveCode. Longer term, I'd like it or something similar to be available at engine level, but this is something we can all use now.

It will also support images for each tech note that using the iPad or iPhone can be pasted into the tech note. All of this would be searchable by a set of subject field used in a search. It find the specific records you want to see. If this is something you might use let me know and I will make it available for free to everyone. You will also be able to use this for telling people about any product you offer that may help developers. I will soon publish a help email telling you where you can find this app and how to use it.

Re: My Codebook Pro v12 free
Hi Mark There was a series of questions I asked as a new to LiveCode user. In that process I found that the LC site and other media is very unorganized. I suggested that it might be a good idea to use the CodeBook app I designed for managing scripts and documenting all aspects of using LiveCode. The app is a FileMaker database I designed for all or any type of technical information management. It would be ideal for this forum because of the many questions that pass through this email and then are gone. A CodeBook can be used to document questions and answers in a easy to use app with word search capability to locate any subject and answers that are covered in the database. I was willing to pay the hosting cost if there were enough users that would want to use the web site app. Thank you Vaughn Clement Apps by Vaughn Clement (Support) *http://www.appsbyvaughnclement.com/tools/home-page/* Skype: vaughn.clement https://secure.join.me/appsbyvclement FaceTime: vclem...@gmail.com LogMeIn also avaialble Call on ooVoo at address: vaughnclement or 9282549062 Ph. 928-254-9062 Cloud Hosting Registration Web Site: https://my.oditech.com/cart.php?a=addpid=41 On Sat, Sep 28, 2013 at 4:57 AM, Mark Schonewille m.schonewi...@economy-x-talk.com wrote: Vaughn, I just saw your message.

Re: Inaccurate Android Setup Steps in Livecode's Tutorial
Hi I had similar issues with the IOS setup but Neil at LC helped me out. The My LiveCode folder in the documents area was the solution. If you do not have this folder you need to create it.

What would be really cool is if others could collectively improve on it, but I'm not sure how we could do this in real time.

Re: Trying a custom handler for several math fields

Re: Trying a custom handler for several math fields
Hi Richard Frankly I was surprised that LC did not recognize commas and money symbols. This is a standard thing in almost any software that has numbers being used? I would think it could be added to the object inspector to set the money settings, and maybe still treat the field as a string for purposes of calculations.

No explicit currency formatting needed. I think you said this. Excel has this knowledge built-in, Try it with #50. But that only means that Excel understands the $ sign, helping the user with a shortcut. LiveCode does not, because it simply sees three characters in that $50 string and takes it at face value. I think the key here is that Excel separates the stored value from its display representation, while doing this in LC requires some scripting. It would be ideal if we could have a displayFormat property for fields and chunks, so that we could set it to something like $0.00 and then putting 2.4 into the field would cause the field to render as $2.40. Likewise we would want to be able to set the displayFormat for columns in multi-column list fields. Until such time as the engine may ever have such a feature (useful as it would be, I've never seen it on a roadmap), we can get a similar outcome with a well-crafted behavior script. A really good script would take some effort to produce, but would be very useful to the community. If someone's in a position to start such a project I'd happily contribute to it. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World LiveCode training and consulting: http://www.fourthworld.com Webzine for LiveCode developers: http://www.LiveCodeJournal.com Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/**FourthWorldSyshttp://twitter.com/FourthWorldSys __**_ 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-livecodehttp://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode ___ 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: Trying a custom handler for several math fields
Hi Richard So you see the value in having the scripting, and you see the capability is there to add the script elements today, then it should be a challenge of some degree to have it made know it is needed. I proposed yesterday to add a Cloud app My Codebook Pro v12 to be available for free to any LC user/s. Here this kind of script can be offered and amended by other developers to allow all users to benefit from the code. So far I have not heard any conversation pro or con about this offer. Since this would be a LC public access app, the new users could use it like the (index / Table of Contents) I stated was not available on the LC site today. I am sure that the rebuttal would be that LC's forum is available and does this now. My answer is that the current forum is not effective to find answers to technical question in that it is not a subject oriented database, but rather a word search for any word in blog fields. This kind of search is OK but it does not lend it's self to subject searches to specific topics of interest. A subject index has specific areas where users can maintain a discussion on a minor issue to a major discussion on a topic. And each person can offer any kind of references or other suggestions to help any user. The LC help email's are such a good example of this in that they are people engaging in the discussion. But the email is gone soon after the reader reviews it. Or if they leave it in the email bin, it can be searched later. But again what if you did not get the email, your not a part of the discussion. I have a friend who said that it will work, but will the input be valid. He was saying that the uncertainty of the support being added may be wrong. My answer is, this may be true, but not allowing us to try it out will not supply the users to see the results.

This is a standard thing in almost any software that has numbers being used? I would think it could be added to the object inspector to set the money settings, and maybe still treat the field as a string for purposes of calculations. I think this boils down to the difference between a general-purpose programming language like LiveCode (and C, Python, Lua, etc.), and more specialized tools like Excel and FileMaker. Since Excel and FileMaker were written in C, we could say that this is something that even C can handle. But it takes a great many lines of C to be able to produce a system that separates storage from display, and while we can do this in LC with a fraction of the number of lines required, it still takes some scripting. Similarly, both Excel and FileMaker have automatic behaviors associated with cells/fields, but as you've found we need to explicitly respond to specific messages in LC to trigger behaviors like calculations. As convenient as these automated elements are in special-purpose tools, they greatly restrict the range of things that can be built with them. A spreadsheet will always look like a spreadsheet, and a FileMaker DB will also look and behave like a FileMaker DB (which is why we see so many LC devs making front-ends for DB systems like FileMaker, so they can deliver custom UIs not possible in those highly-specialized tools). All that said, as I noted before I think it would add tremendous value to LC to adopt an option to automatically separate storage format from display format for both fields and chunks, and have added my notes from my earlier post to the feature request for this: http://quality.runrev.com/**show_bug.cgi?id=7891http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=7891 In the meantime, we can have exactly what we're looking for right now with a bit of scripting. I mention this not to suggest RunRev shouldn't invest the time to do that in the engine (since of course I do feel it would be very valuable), but only to note that there's nothing stopping anyone from having this today if they're willing to roll up their sleeves for an hour or two and work it out. After all, there are many dozens of apps in the LC community that have done this already. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World LiveCode training and consulting: http://www.fourthworld.com Webzine for LiveCode developers: http://www.LiveCodeJournal.com Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/**FourthWorldSyshttp://twitter.com/FourthWorldSys __**_ use-livecode mailing list
Re: Trying a custom handler for several math fields
Hi J. Gay I see your point about possible damage. But consider the current effort to autosize screens to manage the Android device apps. Would this cause the same problems as your describing for legacy apps? I am starting to see a trend in the conversation in the How To email that is out to defend LC to protect the standards of usage. I am not saying this is good or bad, but I wonder if this will impede the future growth of what was once a very simple product named HypeCard?

You're used to end-user products, where the work is done under the hood for you. Now you're using a general programming language, where you're the one writing the code under the hood. LiveCode is used for many different types of apps, and number crunching is just one small part of its capabilities. Just as you would prefer that LiveCode manage a particular type of string in one way, someone else's code would break if LiveCode took that sort of liberty with their literal string entries. The engine can't presume that a dollar sign (or a euro or yen or whatever) should be treated in only one way. In fact, the dollar sign specifies a global system variable; the engine can't know that you want it to mean money and not one of those. Interfering with commas in numbers would be a disaster. Comma is the default delimiter in lists, and almost everyone's code would instantly break if that were changed. The engine can't know that your commas are just visual indicators and mine separate a list of numbers that I intend to process as separate items. As the programmer, you manage all that. We aren't in end-user land any more. :) -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com __**_ 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-livecodehttp://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode ___ 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: Trying a custom handler for several math fields
Hi Ken I am really surprised by the depth of content that is out there to support LiveCode. As someone who has only 2 months of using LiveCode the subject matter keeps turning up every day. I just opened the links to see what they offer and it looks interesting. GMANE was the one that instantly confused me with the matrix of things on the screen. I need to go back later in a trip of discovery. Just a note: I received a reply today the included a stack all about using numbers. WOW, made me feel like I have a mountain to climb. This stack was the script that shows that there are expert users out there for LiveCode. It knocked it out of the park with one stack script that addressed all number formatting without changing LiveCode at the root level. The Stack is titled for Vaughn look for it in this email chain.
