Ahh, ok

Perhaps it was "divine grace" because 9.02 RC 1, came out today

Hopefully ready for production -- of course, we cannot say that, (RC1)
but I need bug fixes in apps right away.

Did you try to paste the password? It doesn't work, you have to type it 
very slowly...one...letter...at...a...time. Pretend you never learned to 
touch type.


Who knows what it's doing in between keystrokes.

Re: Trouble with iOS Logos/No Appearing on Home Screen

[panagiotis merakos via use-livecode]

Hello Brahmanathaswami,

If you only see the default icon, then you might need to download Xcode's
additional components.

See https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=21531

also, why would you check (uncheck) Prerendered choice?

This was needed for some older iOS versions (I think less than iOS 5), so
this option now is not needed anyway. We probably have to remove it from
the standalone settings.

Best,
Panos

Re: Trouble getting Browser Widget to work on iOS

[Terry Judd via use-livecode]

Hi Bill - I had similar problems last week. Assuming you have the browser 
widget inclusion checked then the other thing to look for is whether there are 
any mobile scrollers on the screen that overlap with the location of the widget 
as they appear to interfere with it being rendered. If this is the case (and 
you are effectively hiding and showing the browser) then set the visible of the 
scroller to false when the browser is active and back to true when you’re no 
longer using it.

I’ve been having trouble getting the browser widget to work in ios. I’m in

I’m wondering if I could have left out any required inclusions. No help in the

RE: Trouble with Building from g8.1.5 rc1 for Early Version iOS

[Ralph DiMola via use-livecode]

I sometimes get that error on the first build with any minimum version. 
Subsequent builds work OK until LC is restarted. Try setting it back to 6.1 and 
build, if it fails build again and it should be OK. This has been reported but 
is elusive.

LC: 8.1.5 rc1
xCode: 8.3.3

I had the lowest version set to iOS 6.1

xCode balked and LC error repor dialog shows up, saying app build failed 
because all  these files/libs  (many lines in the SA dialog)  were for 10.3

OK so I went back into SA settings pick "10.3 or later"

and the build went thru

so the question is… how far back, i.e. what is the older version of iOS that 
*will* work with LC now?

I’m certainly no expert on video encoding but since you used the Intel QSV 
H.264 encoder I’m wondering if the Livecode implementation of DirectShow does 
not support that hardware based encoder. You might have better luck and broader 
compatibilty using something like the default encoder in Handbrake.

I had been trying "char 1 to -1 of the text of tgTg", which I suppose gets
past the same way as "the text of" . . .

The irony here is that the ability to refer to fields with other variables
is the single biggest reason for me to be using a HyperCard  solution . . .
(it was the *only* way to do what I was doing [am doing] back in the 80s
short of a LISP variant and low-level programming of the fields on my
screen . . .)

"the text of tgTg" would be parsed as the text content of the field.

Try using this instead:

  set the textFont of char 1 to -1 of tgTg to empty

That should work.

one of those two should work.

Ok I tried regressing to 6.7.5

but things got worse:  

root@hinduismtoday:/home/htoday/cgi-bin# ./echo.lc

Re: Trouble with LiveCode Server on Ubuntu

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami]

 
OK, successfully upgraded the Hinduism Today server to

Linux 4.4.0-x86_64-linode63 on x86_64

so now we have Ubuntu OS parity now between the two instances

on the one where LC works, where I think I have an old version of LC server 
6.7.5

we get:

/home/himalayan/cgi-bin# ldd ./livecode-community-server
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xf771d000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0xf7708000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0xf76c2000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0xf76a5000)
libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xf7688000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0xf74da000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x56639000)

is this a 32 bit version?  


On the Hinduism Today server I installed LC server: 7.1.2 RC3 , Linux 64 and we 
are still getting failure  

[2016-02-19 19:01:52]: uid: (1000/htoday) gid: (1000/htoday) cmd: echo.lc  
[2016-02-19 19:01:52]: (2)No such file or directory: exec failed (echo.lc)

and the ldd returns a vastly different set of data for LC server 7.1.2 RC 3 
server (Linux 64)  

/home/htoday/cgi-bin# ldd ./livecode-community-server  
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x7fff3f9e3000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x7f67f0a56000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x7f67f0838000)
libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6 (0x7f67f0502000)
libXext.so.6 => not found
librt.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/librt.so.1 (0x7f67f02fa000)
libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 (0x7f67efff5000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x7f67efcef000)
libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x7f67efad9000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x7f67ef713000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x5595f0c8)
libxcb.so.1 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxcb.so.1 (0x7f67ef4f4000)
libXau.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXau.so.6 (0x7f67ef2ef000)
libXdmcp.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXdmcp.so.6 (0x7f67ef0e9000)

So.. I am out of my depth now... should I regress to an earlier version of LC 
Server? I don't want to move up to a new version of LC server on the Himalayan 
site if it is going to fail there... 

I'll go ahead and try regressing on the HT server... since it is running 
XOOPS/php  and our very few LC cgi are failing but not the whole site.. we can 
test without grave consequences.

Actually this is good this is happening because had I upgraded our main 
RevIgniter site it would have died!

Re: Trouble with LiveCode Server on Ubuntu

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami]

Ahh... I had already tried the latest 7.2.1 64 LiveCode

but I just discovered that the server/instance where it *does* work we have

Kernel and CPU

where as on Hinduism Today site we have the 4.1.5- version of linux

so let me see if I can get the OS upgraded without bringing down the server 
first.  Linux 4.4.0-x86_64-linode63 on x86_64

Maybe your setup is the other way around: could it be that you have a
32-bit LC engine there now without the required 32-bit multiarch packages?

If that's the case just dropping in the 64-bit LC should do it.

If not we'll have to dig deeper, perhaps running LC from the command
line with ldd, e.g.:

ldd ./livecode-community-server

Re: Trouble with LiveCode Server on Ubuntu

[Richard Gaskin]

I saw the "(2)No such file or directory" error on one of my VPSes 
yesterday.  Mystified me, since I know the file is there.


Looking into it further it turns out that error can happen with 
executables when the executable is 64-bit on a 32-bit system.  I had 
installed the 64-bit LC Server engine, but had forgotten that I'd set up 
that VPS with a 32-bit Ubuntu.  Just dropped in the 32-bit LC and it 
worked great.


Hopefully your resolution will be as simple.

the latter CGI is very simple

repeat for each line x in tCGIVars

 A small bin/sh cgi is working

http://www.hinduismtoday.com/cgi-bin/test-sh.cgi

%
#!/bin/sh
# make Apache happy with the right html content tags
echo "Content-Type: text/plain"
echo ""

echo "testing bin/sh"

So there is nothing wrong with sudoers and user ID for and httpd.conf is set up 
correctly or the sh cgi would also fail.

and of course using this in /public_html/.htaccess

AddHandler livecode-script .lc
Action livecode-script /cgi-bin/livecode-community-server

and a simple .lc file in public_html  gets us the same result

Re: Trouble writing file to server

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Bill,

0777 is for all users who have access to the computer including guests. 
This includes e.g. people who log in over FTP or SSH. However, without 
logging in first, you can't have access to a computer.


Some server accept the put command over http, but many don't. Servers 
that accept it, will still need some credentials, even if it is only 
guest:guest.


More common are FTP commands or POST and GET commands using the http 
protocol. For a file, you may want to use a multipart POST command, but 
you will need to handle the POST in a PHP or OnRev script.


FTP is really simple:

put ftp://user:passw...@ftp.server.com/www/path/file.xyz; into myURL

Because it is very simple, it is also slightly insecure.

If you let me know how you want to proceed, I can help.

put “http://waterdetective.earthednet.org/rawmeterdata/mycrap; into xURL
put mycrapstuff into URL( xURL)
end getTestData

I get the testdata file ok. I wrote it using another program. But, I can’t get 
it to write to the file “mycrap”

The directory has permission 0777, so everybody should be able to write to it.
Or, is there some kind of permission and login thing I need to do first.

Aren’t there any error messages returned if the write fails?

Re: Trouble with Android

Turns out there is a bug with the Simulator for 2.2 with Livecode. So using 
2.3.3 the sample app works in that simulator.

Thanks both, but it doesn't seem to be either of those.  I've never used 
acceleratedRendering, I haven't got that far yet! (and after a careful search 
have confirmed that no trace of it has crept into my stack).  One of my test 
devices is Android 2.3.4, the other is 4.0.3, but same result on both, 
including when building from LC 5.5.4.


I did have some success when, in despair, I opened took the Orientation 
Example stack and was able to build that succesfully so that it opened on 
Android.  Then I copied all the elements of my stack into it - and it still 
worked.  So now I have two apparently identical stacks - both one card, the 
same controls on each, the same scripts in the card and the stack - but one 
has developed Android-black-screen disease.  I've not yet found the critical 
difference between them.


So I'm thinking that I've stumbled across another way to cause 
Android-black-screen, which isn't either of the ones you've mentioned (and 
which happens with the latest test version of LC as well as earlier ones).  If 
anyone knows of any other causes, which I can test to see if that's what's 
going on here, please let me know.  Otherwise (when I've got some time on my 
hands) I'll try to keep cutting down the problem stack to form a minimal 
version I can report to RunRev.


Many thanks,

Ben

I sure would like to find the cause just to save my
 sanity. :)

Like other's, scratching at straws.

To me it first sounded like you must have been opening LC by double
clicking a stack, this then opens the App associated with it. If LC
was bad, and in a non-standard location you are not familiar with,
then installing a new copy of LC into a standard location would not
have solved the problem, double clicking the file would still point to
the bad LC. But, and it sounds like you are, if you just double click
on the new install of LC to open it, then it's the new LC that is
open.

So the only other thing you might want to look into is:

Bad Account:

1) Select Restart from the Apple Menu
2) Login to Bad Account
3) Start Activity Monitor
4) Ensure 'All Processes' is selected in the Option Button
5) Click on the Name column to ensure the output is in alphabetical order
6) Print the output
7) Start LC
8) Go back to Activity Monitor and Print the output.

Now repeat the process in the Good Account - ensure you restart the computer.

Compare the outputs. Theoretically the Befores should be the same and
the Afters should just have one extra line -  'LiveCode'.

Unfortunately I don't think you'll find much. Unless the Bad User
account was misbehaving with non-LC apps it doesn't sound like
anything outside of LC is causing this. If it is a plugin, a front or
back script, then Activity Monitor isn't going to high-light it as it
will all just fall under the single 'LiveCode' process. If you set up
Activity Monitor so that 'My Processes' is selected in the option
button, and you high-light the CPU column and select the CPU tab so
the graph shows CPU usage, then you will probably see in the Bad
Account, when you go through your previously mentioned steps and the
Editor doesn't show, the CPU activity for LC might spike and stay
high, which wont occur in your Good Account when LC does what it's
suppose to. Unfortunately this doesn't tell you anything you don't
already know; what is actually getting in the way.

Maybe you could change your desktop picture to pretty flowers to match
the walls; just to ease the pain ;-)

Sorry it doesn't work for you.

Around 2 years ago, I had the same problem without DAZ3D, and this trick
makes the script and the message box work again, but can't remember more.

So, if you have delete your preferences stack first and nothing better,
may be worth a try if you don't have any answer?

This is a shout out of general (mild so far) desperation...

Since Heather and crew are likely off for the weekend, can anyone
point me to a download link for  a Rev/Livecode version around 4.0 for
Mac or thereabout? I have the original email from my purchase for 4.0,
but it points to a dead link at the RunRev site. I do have 4.5 and
4.53 for Mac here in my archives, but neither work and I really need
to see if I can get an earlier version functional.

Since Heather and crew are likely off for the weekend, can anyone
point me to a download link for  a Rev/Livecode version around 4.0 for
Mac or thereabout? I have the original email from my purchase for 4.0,
but it points to a dead link at the RunRev site. I do have 4.5 and
4.53 for Mac here in my archives, but neither work and I really need
to see if I can get an earlier version functional.

I've received a couple of replies which are *very much appreciated*,
but unfortunately they are for the Enterprise versions... which I do
not have a license for. I even tried the MetaCard fix as described
in the article that Thierry pointed me to, but alas... MC won't work
with a newer engine.

Thanks for the help all the same folks.

H my Mac User Experience that is glorified all over everywhere
really hasn't gone all that well so far. Gonna try bootcamp and an old
copy of Win XP I guess.

David C.

Hello Mark,
Yeah, I had already thought of that, but no good news I'm afraid. Here are the

1. Create new stack, add one single button  - OK
2. Bring up property dialog for button  - OK
3. Edit button script  - NOT OK
4. Script Editor is not shown   - NOT OK

- Observations -

4. Property dialog automatically shows revNewScriptEditor1
5. Stopwatch is displayed and remains…
6. revNewScriptEditor1 is now showing as an option in top Window
part of the Mac menu
7. Selecting that menu entry brings the revNewScriptEditor1 editor
up in an almost full screen state
8. After observation #7, I can then finally edit a button, card, stack
script using the normal process.

None of this makes any sense because it has been working without
problems for the little I've used the machine in the last year or so.
Using the 4.5.0 version has the same problem, installing/reinstalling
either LC version changes nothing at all.

I'm really stumped at this point.

Regards,
David C.

If you really want to hear something weird, queer, crazy, odd, wild,
your description goes here, check this out...

I added a new user account to the system, reinstalled LC 4.5.3 for
All Users and it works fine in the new account. Still does not work
in the original user account where it has been running/available for
over a year.

Guess I'll migrate all of my documents and such over to the new
account, delete the old one and keep on trucking... what a time
consuming, hair thinning mess. Not to mention all of this *after* the
laptop dev machine crashed with a motherboard failure. sigh  :-(

Again, I do appreciate everyone's assistance!

Sounds like you need to delete the RR prefs. Go here and delete the 
entire folder:


/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/RunRev

Depending on the version, the folder may be named RunRev or Runtime 
Revolution. Delete whichever you have.


If you cannot see the Library folder, hold down the option key and pull 
down the Finder's Go menu. You will see Library in there. Go there and 
then find Preferences/RunRev


Launch LiveCode. Everything will be in a default state, so you'll need 
to reset your prefs inside the program.

Hey Jacque and Mark,
I followed the instructions to a proverbial T and removed the
preferences folder as advised. It definitely sent everything back to
the original out of the box setup, but unfortunately, it didn't solve
the problem-o. It does exactly the same thing. Crazy huh?

Re: Trouble with export image

[Graham Samuel]

Since writing the query below, I realise that sometimes 'export' doesn't 
export: it produces an (undocumented) result can't open file which seems 
inappropriate. I had somehow messed up the file path and hadn't noticed. There 
was a different problem with the framing of the image - hard to track down but 
not worth explaining. Sorry for the bandwidth.


Graham

Earlier post:

 I seem to be going crazy, but I can't see what I'm doing wrong. I have an 
 image say myImage, and I export it with a command like
 
 export img myImage of cd myCard of stack myStack to URL (binfile:  
 somePath /someFileName) as JPEG
 
 This works, and the file appears, but it is not the right size: I mean if I do
 
 put the rect of img myImage
 
 immediately after the 'export', I get the rect I expected from the remainder 
 of my code: but if I look at the actual file with say GraphicConverter on a 
 Mac, then I find the image is cropped vertically.
 
 I suppose I did something wrong, but I can't think what.
 
 Any ideas?
 
 TIA

Re: Trouble with 'there is a'

[Graham Samuel]

Thanks to those who replied to point out a gross stupidity on my part - the 
example I gave wasn't a legal LiveCode statement. I was too tired to notice. 
Sorry for the waste of bandwidth. I found the response of the message box 
mysterious but at least I'll recognise it next time.

My real script did have two problem but they were quite different, and might be 
of interest.

1.  I had constructed a Windows-style path with \ characters to fit in with a 
small VB script I wanted to run. This does work in some contexts, but not in 
this one: in normal circumstances (but not AFAICS in VB scripts) LC looks after 
the change from / to \. I forgot that it was this path in the variable I 
was testing. It gave a strange result, but the obvious answer is don't do it.

2. The form of my 'if' condition was
  
  if there is not a file myPath /  myfilename

it turns out that the 'there is no' statement doesn't construct the string 
before the evaluation: you have to ensure the evaluation of the string by 
putting it in brackets as in

  if there is not a file (myPath /  myfilename)

There is an obscure warning about this in the dictionary: The there is no 
operator is implemented internally as a function, and therefore has lower 
precedence than other operators. So it's a precedence issue.

Graham

I wrote
 I'm  using LS 5.0.2. on Windows XP (OK, running under Parallels on a Mac). 
 I'm getting unexpected results from the 'there is..' series of 
 functions/commands - the dictionary says they're implemented as functions, 
 which I can understand.
 
 As a very simple test, in the message box I put:
 
   put (if there is a folder (the defaultFolder))
 
 expecting to get 'true'. Instead I get the totally unexpected result:
 
   161,426,1,return (if there is a folder (the defaultFolder))
 
 I suppose it's my fault, but what does this mean? Just to be clear, 'the 
 default folder' does have a value - it's:
 
  C:/Program Files/RunRev/LiveCode 5.0.2

Re: Trouble with 'there is a'

[Ken Ray]

 My real script did have two problem but they were quite different, and might 
 be of interest.

I'm glad you brought these up - for others reading this there are some best 
practices to learn about these things:

 1.  I had constructed a Windows-style path with \ characters to fit in with 
 a small VB script I wanted to run. This does work in some contexts, but not 
 in this one: in normal circumstances (but not AFAICS in VB scripts) LC looks 
 after the change from / to \. I forgot that it was this path in the 
 variable I was testing. It gave a strange result, but the obvious answer is 
 don't do it.

Right. If you *do* need to construct a \-delimited path for external use (for 
example, if you're creating a VBScript in LiveCode that you want to execute 
with do … as VBScript), then do your /-to-\ conversions *just before* you 
use it, and do the conversion on a variable that's not going to be used again 
in that handler (like a temporary copy of a variable or one that is solely for 
the purpose of passing off to VBScript). For example:

   put specialFolderPath(desktop)  MyFile.txt into tFile
   -- maybe some other code goes here
   put replaceText(tFile,/,\) into tTempFile
   -- construct VBScript using the tTempFile variable -- keeps tFile safe if 
you need to work with it later


 2. The form of my 'if' condition was
 
  if there is not a file myPath /  myfilename
 
 it turns out that the 'there is no' statement doesn't construct the string 
 before the evaluation: you have to ensure the evaluation of the string by

 There is an obscure warning about this in the dictionary: The there is no 
 operator is implemented internally as a function, and therefore has lower 
 precedence than other operators. So it's a precedence issue.

One thing I've gotten into the habit of doing is to always surround 
concatenation and logic operations (especially those with symbols) in 
parentheses - apart from being more readable, it also saves headaches if the 
interpreter sees things differently than you intended. Examples:

   put (This is  a test) into tVar
   if (tVar  ) then …

For multiple logic operations it is even more important. Compare:

   if tVar  100 and tFileName contains   or tVar = 0 then

vs.

   if ((tVar  100) and (tFileName contains  )) or (tVar = 0) then


Just my 2 cents,

Re: Trouble with 'there is a'

[Bob Sneidar]

I remember a long time ago in a Revolution conference far, far away, someone 
gave a class on good coding habits. One of the habits he mentioned was to 
enclose in parenthesis where you can, partly for this reason, and partly 
because it makes the code easier to read. I go halfway. If I have any doubt 
about the precedence of a statement, I use parenthesis. 

In fact, an even better habit is to put paths into variables, or just put 
anything into variables, then work with those. It makes debugging a whole lot 
easier, and code easier to read.

Internally LiveCode always uses the UNIX slash / as the pathdelimiter.

Re: Trouble with 'there is a'

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Graham,

161 means error in source expression. Probably, it is saying that if there 
is a folder (the defaultFolder) can't be parsed into something that makes 
sense, which is correct because it is only the first part of an if-then-else 
control structure. If you remove the if then LiveCode can parse the string to 
true or false.

Re: Trouble with button icon images

[Pete]

Hi Jacque,
I tried this out.  The standalone has a substack named revCopiedIcons.  I
added code to list the controls in that stack and it contained the standard
icons for the answer command (information, error, warning, etc) plus the
one icon I referenced in the Image library.  So it appears the standalone
builder is smart enough to include only the referenced icons.

 I'm not sure how that would work, I always place the images so that the
 library isn't used at all. I suppose the easiest thing would be for the
 standalone builder to just include the whole library as a substack of your
 mainstack. Copying them individually would change the IDs of the images.

 You could find out by building a small standalone with a button that uses
 a referenced icon, and whose script answers the names of the substacks. I'm
 a little curious myself what you'll find.

That's great to know, thanks for trying it and reporting back. The SB is 
smarter than I thought.

 No, they'll show up fine if they are placed. If you use them as icons, be
 sure to use the placed image's ID. It's just a convenient way to keep
 images somewhere besides on disk, but the behavior after placement is
 identical.

 I have a card in a substack of my mainstack that contains images for
 buttons I use in other substacks.  All seems to work fine so far but I have
 a problem with one button whose image does not show up.  The same image is
 used as the  icon for buttons on other cards and shows up just fine.  If I
 copy a button that uses the image from another card to this card, the image
 disappears from the button.  Other buttons on the same card that refer to
 different images work just fine.
 
 Any ideas?

Hi Mark,
Changing the ID fixes the problem, thanks.  What might be the cause of this?


ID conflicts. Each stack can have its own ID numbering, so another 
control somewhere may have had the same ID. If the image with the 
conflicting ID is large or has transparent areas, it may have looked 
like the icon was empty.


Besides using a substack, you can also place all your icon images in a 
group on the mainstack and then unplace the group from all cards. 
They'll be accessible from anywhere, you won't need an extra stack, and 
no card will display them. ID conflicts can still occur, so each image 
will need a unique ID.




On a related topic, I'm wondering what are the advantages/disadvantages of
using the Image Library versus putting the application's images in a
substack.  I used to import my images into the Image Library and refer to
them directly in there but changed to using a substack because I got the
impression from some list posts that it might not be a good idea to use the
Image Library (can't remember why).


The image library is a convenient storage area for commonly used 
content, but it won't automatically move your images to your stack. That 
means if you distribute the stack or a standalone, the images will be 
missing. Use the library's place button to move the images into your 
working stack where they can be found.


It's no different than importing images from disk, but for things you 
use often the library is more convenient. I have a couple of image 
libaries I use all the time.

Re: Trouble-shooting non-resizable stack/card size creep?

Keith,


Try setting the margins of the group to 0. You might want to turn off the 
lockLoc of the group and set the lockLoc of the image to true. Set the loc of 
the image, not the group.
