cgi create card script question
My basic problem: I can create a card in a stack using buttons and the command line but this fails when the command is given from an otherwise fully functional cgi script.details. running apache on a linux computer: I have a stack test1 in my cgi-bin folder I have cgi scripts running mc executing everything just fine except for the life of me when I have this code in the cgi script. start using stack test1 create card save stack test1 close stack test1 nothing happens. The rest of the script runs without a hitch. if I directly open stack test1 from within Revolution and from the message box type create card or even send create card to stack test1 this works just fine, a new card is created. Any thoughts why the same commard when run from inside a cgi script will not execute? The permissions are set correctly on the stack for read/write/execute. I am at a loss.

HLP: Saving content of fields in a standalone
Hello, I've built a standalone (for Mac OS X) with editable fields. Users can add information in these fields. How can I save the new content of these fields so that when the standalone is reopened this new text is still visible to other users? is there aonther solution than saving the content in a text file and then retrieving it.

Web servers often run as user nobody, and so it can be tricky getting permissions just right. However, some web servers have CGI setup as suexec, which runs the CGI process as your username instead of nobody.

Re: mono sounds to left and right sound channel
I don't know if this is the best way but you could use the QuickTime external I have been working on.

Check out the documentation for acceptable values. The external is available from http://mangomultimedia.com/examples/revolution/.

Re: Database - Update from Data Entry/Query form
--- Melvin Cox [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have successfully implemented a Query By Example call from a button on my data entry/query form. I am, however, having problems implementing an Update (Modify) statement. The script for the Update button uses global variables to hold the value of each field within a row at the time that row is fetched (via Query, Next or Previous). These (saved) variables have a prefix of s_ (ie. s_city, s_state, s_zip, etc.). The script also uses local variables to hold the value of each field at the time the update is executed. These (current) variables have a prefix of c_ (ie. c_city, c_state, c_zip, etc.). Functionality within a mouseUp handler compares the saved value of each field to its current value, via a series of if/then/else statements and places the elements of a SQL Update statement into tSQLQuery. I have successfully tested the resulting syntax against my database, via isql. However, when I attempt to execute modification of a field (or fields) from the form, the update fails - each and every time. The triggering mechanism within my script is expressed as: revSetSQLOfQuery PeopleUpdate, tSQLQuery I have also tested with the revExecuteSQL call. Is there a better means of executing the update? How should I approach Add button functionality? Your suggestions are most sincerely appreciated. Melvin Cox Hi Melvin, There are basically two ways of updating the records in the database: either by ticking the checbox Update after editing in the Database pane of the Property Inspector ; or by writing an UPDATE query like you did yourself. (You could adapt your closeField handler for this purpose, and build a custom property set to hold the changed fields' new contents.) Once you have collected the necessary information into a query, you can execute it via : revExecuteSQL name of an existing query, \ the SQL query to execute There's no need to change an existing query ; revExecuteSQL needs the name of an existing query solely for its database connection information. If you still get an error, there is probably something wrong with the query. Hope this helped, Jan Schenkel. = As we grow older, we grow both wiser and more foolish at the same time.

When sending a V000(version number) to the device I do see the green light on the device blink and the driver does show up in the menu in SerialTest. ... It is best if you precede each command with an escape char (hex 27). This will draw MacIO's attention. MacIO will respond with a . (dot). After receiving the dot, or shortly after sending the esc char (microseconds), you can send your command. The Command V000 should indeed provide you with a response, unless the number of byets sent to MacIO is incorrect. (the demo app shows the commands it outputs to MacIO, so you can easily check this, but I think 5 chars is indeed the command length). When experimenting, check and report result() every time you do serial I/O. Tom has a typo, I think. The escape character (ESC) is 27 decimal and 1B hex. You can send it like this: write numToChar(27) to driver /dev/cu.usbserial-3B1 There are several ways you can read the dot. I think that is simply the period character. You can do this in an experiment: read from driver /dev/cu.usbserial-3B1 for one character The character read will be in it. The read might fail, though. I would rather do this: read from driver /dev/cu.usbserial-3B1 until empty That will return right away and will get whatever was received already and in the buffer. You will need to have a delay and you can put them into a loop. That might be in an outer loop that checks for the dot. (Later, when you learn about send, use that.) You might want to put that at the start before sending the ESC to clear the buffer. After getting the dot, do this: write V000 to driver /dev/cu.usbserial-3B1 Then read until you get the data you want. I have found that on OS X the write needs to end in a LF with the serial drivers I use. I think this is a Revolution bug. A LF after the ESC might botch the command, though. If it does, try sending the ESC and command as a single string with a LF at the end, maybe with two ESC at the start. If you are having trouble on OS X, try variations of this: write numToChar(27) numToChar(27) V000 LF to driver /dev/cu.usbserial-3B1 Dar Scott ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Border screen artifacts on dynamically moving button on Windows
Ok, more Windows aggravatiom for a presentation I have made which, if you don't mind a long download, (11 meg, 155 pieces of art embedded) a little dose of Saivite Hinduism and some beautiful graphics, you can view the beta version of at: http://www.himalayanacademy.com/studyhall/alpha/ the main presentation card that does the slide show uses a transparent button whose icon is dynamically set to different images that live as resources on card two (which the user never sees). I put in a handler to allow the user to reduce or enlarge the artwork, and move the button on the screen accordingly. This is implemented by simply trapping, in the stack script, for a mouseup on the button artwork on mouseup if the target contains artwork then viewFullArt end mouseup ## This handles does the job of pulling an id for the art and resizing it up or down: on viewFullArt put (3000+gNowShowing) into tPicture if the width of image id tPicture = 540 then ## we need to reduce the picture. hide fld sideViewText lock screen set the rect of image id tPicture to 0,0,290,290 set the loc of btn artwork to 369,171 show fld slokaTitle show fld SlokaText unlock screen with visual effect dissolve fast ## our user on windows is now seeing a border around the button else ## it's already reduced and we need to enlarge it hide fld slokaTitle hide fld slokaText put fld slokaTitle cr cr fld slokaText into fld SideViewText show fld sideViewText set the loc of btn artwork to 279,279 lock screen set the width of image id tPicture to 540 set the height of image id tPicture to 540 set the textstyle of line 3 of fld sideViewText to bold set the textsize of line 3 of fld SideViewText to 18 end if ## our user now says the border of the button in it's previous location persists at that location end viewFullArt Very simple and works beautifully on a Mac and also on many Windows machines. But one windows tester reports: Left click on image enlarges pic to page left but outlines pic with single lined box, with text moving to page right. A second left click and pic shrinks to page center top, text moves to bottom (all as expected from original format) but box persists. The single line box is now centered and moved towards top, but size is so large that it cuts through titles and sloka text. The text is dominate in title areas, but in sloka area text coexists with box outline. In the sloka area the with box outline and the text both appear as if someone on an old typewriter overstruck the text with a hyphen. I don't know precisely what is going on as I cannot replicate the problem... but it appears that, though the button is transparent and the showborder is false, showfocusborder is also false, that we are getting some border artifact bleed through-hangover in the dos machine's video card nevertheless. The difference in the fields appearance is because I have set some of them to opaque and others to opaque=false (transparent fields) which I can fix, (all should be opaque) but the issue is I can figure out is the appearance and persistence of a border for the button when their should be none. Can anyone help? Is this a known issue? Any work arounds? Can any one replicate this? (download and try on your windows machine.) I don't know what else to turn off for the button... I see I have it set to 3D (a default) maybe that is it... or some more locking and unlocking needs to be done to force the video card to refresh? Does the 3D property affect the appearance of a border even if the showborder is false?

Re: serialControlString
Tom, If you are using my SerialTest stack, it will automatically receive any data sent by the Brick, so the dot should just appear in the log field on the right. To send the escape, I would make a copy of the Send button, and replace the line: put fld sendField into theData with put numToChar(27) into theData This will send the escape, you can watch for the dot to return and then try sending your command with the Send button. This will be good for testing, but in your application, you will need this to happen automatically, so you will need to keep reading and checking until you get the dot. Or you could just send the escape, wait for 1 tick and then send the command. Once you have worked out the mechanism manually, you could edit the Send button to do that every time. It isn't clear what the end-of-line marker should be for either sending or receiving. It may be that for sending, the number of bytes is fixed so you don't need any terminator. My stack doesn't allow for using no terminator, but if CR, LF or CRLF don't work, then try editing the send receive scripts to allow for no EOL. The send stuff is all in the Send button. Receive is in the card script.

Is there a possiblity to save this text without using an external file? Thanks for any help. The short answer is No - there is no way to save data without using an external file of some sort. The external file can be a text file or it can be a stack that is stored as a separate file rather than being built into your application. In OS X this still looks neat as you can hide the data stack inside the OS X bundle. A common way to achieve this is to make a splash-screen application where the mainStack is just a splash screen or static display and all data is entered on sub-stacks. When building, check the option to save sub-stacks separately and they will remain as separate files which can be saved to store any new data. The actual application (the mainStack and the Rev engine) is read-only so no changes can ever be saved to it.

Re: serialControlString
I have found that on OS X the write needs to end in a LF with the serial drivers I use. I think this is a Revolution bug. Hmmm, I'm not sure that it's a bug in Revolution. Using the Keyspan drivers and my device, I get strange behavior if I add an LF after the data I send. Things are fine if I send individual characters. I think it was Sarah who said that you needed to use an LF with the Keyspan drivers in another case, so it might be a device specific thing. shrug whatever works. -j. ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Making Screensavers with Revolution -Example Stack
Here is a link for downloading the Rev Stack that can be made into a screensaver on Windows OS: http://clients.cyber-ny.com/rev/ScreenSaver.rev To make this into a screensaver, you would save it as a Standalone and then replace the .exe extension with .scr. Then take the new .scr file you created and drop it into the windows directory of your PC. From your PC's Start menu, select Settings and then Display Settings. A pop-up with display settings will open. Select the Screen Savers tab and you should be able to locate the new ScreenSaver from the menu of options. Set it to display in 1 minute and then save. After a minute, the screensaver should appear. When you move the mouse, it will quit. This is a crude example where I have used a single logo image that fades in and out at different point on the screen. I stored the script that controls the screensaver effect and repeat loops in a hidden button called MoveLogo. The scripts that initiate the screensaver effect are stored in the card's script. The stack script contains the quit methods and a script for centering and resizing the stack for different monitors. Any suggestions or improvements are welcome!!

No images when copying htmltext from Rev field to email client

RE: Palette window stuck at screenloc? -sb-OS
One other way to do it (I do it this way myself) is to have the mainstack use code like: on preOpenStack if the owner of the target is me then set the loc of this stack to the screenLoc end if end preOpenStack Since the preOpenStack message goes to the card first, the owner of the card is a stack. The if the owner line tests to see if the card that got the message is a card from a mainstack (which would be true) or a card from a substack (in which case the owner would be the substack, which would not be me and would end up being false). This way you don't have to be so specific if you don't want to.

Hi all, This is to let you know that version 1.0 of PreceptorTools courseware development system was released today. Free 30 day downloads are available both on the Run Rev web site and on my website as well. PreceptorTools may be purchased online at the Runtime Revolution online store beginning today! I would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone at Runtime Revolution for their support and encouragement the last year and a half. I would also like to thank my Beta testers for their hard work and commitment. Finally, I want to thank the members of this list who helped me understand the subtleties and power of Revolution. The current version is optimized for Mac OS Classic (9.2 preferred ) and Mac OSX (10.2.6 or preferred) Revolution 2.0 or greater is required if you wish to use PreceptorTools automated email features. Finally Quicktime 5.0 or greater is required if you wish to use the buttonPlayer objects or the movieQuiz objects that are part of the PreceptorTools Object Toolkits. I plan to offer a Windows distribution early this coming year. If anyone here would like to be a Windows Beta tester please contact me off list. Preceptor is a set of stacks and a plug in so it should work OK within the windows environment. Some users have found the Beta stable others have had lots of problems. So if you download it you are on your own for the meantime. I will not be addressing any windows related questions until the formal testing regime begins after the new year. If you have any questions comments or problems with PreceptorTools please feel free to join the use-preceptorTools list. Initially, this will be the location where I will handle preceptorTools support. To sign up go here: http://www.runrev.com/preceptortools/moreinfo.html. There is also a comprehensive web-based reference for PreceptorTools on my website. While this is still in the development process it does contain the definitive reference to the application. If you can't find the answer to a question regarding PreceptorTools don't hesitate to contact me. I am currently the only person working on the development of this project so I may not be able to get back to your personal email right away. I will do my best to answer within a day or so.
