Re: Windows firewall issues and Rev

[Richard Miller]

Still trying to get a handle on this problem. I've not been able to  
recreate it on my test computer. Only occurs on a computer of someone  
else testing our program.


The startup code we are using simply looks at directories on, and  
retrieves a few small files from, our remote server during the  
startup process. Everything is done using the "put url xxx into yyy"  
form. Why would this possibly be blocked by Windows Firewall? Turning  
off the firewall on this other computer allows the startup process to  
work fine. Turning it on blocks our program from starting up. I went  
so far as to add the name of our standalone app to the "exception"  
list in Windows Firewall on this other computer, but if the firewall  
is left on, the code is still blocked.


Is there a way to detect a problem like this during program startup  
so that we could at least warn the customer of the issue? I wish it  
was as simple as trying to pull a small data file from the server and  
then checking whether or not that process was successful, but the  
program simply hangs during the "put url..." process. It goes no  
further unless the firewall is turned off.


Thanks.
Richard Miller

One thing that would probably cause it would be to open a TCP (also

Simulating a Click in a List Field

[Gregory Lypny]

Hello everyone,

I've got a list field with a mouseUp handler in it that takes me to  
different cards based on information in the line clicked.  How can I  
simulate clicking the first line?  The best (sadly) that I could come  
up with that works is this.


click at the topleft of fld "My List Field"

I also tried

select line 1 of fld "My List Field"
send mouseUp to fld "My List Field"

but the selectedLine function in the mouseUp handler returns empty  
for some reason.


Is there a more obvious way than my clicking at the topleft?

Regards,

Gregory

white windows/stacks?

[Paul Gabel]

Hi everybody:

Do any of you know all of the reasons (or as many as you can think  
of) why opening a stack by script could cause it to show white and  
blank? This happens to me sometimes. In the Rev Window menu, the  
blank window is checked, and when I manually item-select it the blank  
window returns to normal. This will happen repeatedly with the same  
window. Is it a memory issue?


Thanks for any contributions.

Is this a stack you created?  I've seen this on occasion -- sometimes it's
caused by a script failure during an event that takes place during a locked
screen.  You might try stepping through your script, commenting out key
events one by one, until you find the culprit.  Other folks may have
additional suggestions.

Rev cgi, PHP & XML

[jbv]

Hi folks,

It's me again with another weird question... this time for php
experts...

I have a Rev cgi script that returns some xml data to a client browser.
In order to speed up downloading, I'm trying to compress the data
using gzip via some php functions (such as gzencode or gzcompress).
I had to use that technique because Rev compress() function doesn't
output code suitable for browsers...

Anyway, here's my code :

- in Rev cgi script

get shell("/usr/local/bin/php /home/httpd/html/cgi-bin/gzcompress.php "
& myXMLdata)


- in php




This works fine for any non-XML data. As soon as I try to pass XML data
to the php script,
I get this error :
/bin/sh: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `<'

Could someone be kind enough to tell me what I'm doing wrong ?
Is there any specific gzlib function for xml data ? I haven't found
anything like that in php doc...

Any help greatly apreciated.  Thanks in advance,
JB

Re: white windows/stacks?

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Paul,

It is no memory issue. Revolution just happens to forget to (re)draw  
the window.


One of the scenarios that may cause this is:

-- mainstack
on preOpenStack
  lock screen
  lock messages
  go invisible stack x
  -- set rect of stack x e.g.
  -- then show stack
  show stack x --substack
end preOpenStack

It doesn't happen all the time, but script similar to the above may  
cause a white screen. Apparently, Rev doesn't get the time to update  
the window.


To solve this issue, usually I try something like this:

-- mainstack
on preOpenStack
  send "showMe" to stack x in 0 millisecs
end preOpenStack

-- substack
on showMe
  go invisible cd 1 of me
  set the bottomright of me to -100,-100
  -- set rect of me
  -- then show me
  set the loc of me to the screenloc
end showMe

I hope you get the idea. I don't have a specific recipe but usually  
try something along these lines.


Best regards,

Mark Schonewille

Hi All.

I am having an issue that I know was addressed in a previous post but  
I cannot seem to find it. I have established some functions to work  
with mySQL databases, and all is working fine except that whenever I  
build an SQL statement with values that include commas, carriage  
returns and the like, it hoses the sql statement. Isn't there a way  
of delimiting reserved characters in an sql statement? Something like  
preceding them with a backslash?

Re: google calendar API

[BILL HUMPHREY]

Does anyone know how to post to a google calendar using RunRev on Mac OS X
instead of Win XP?


_

Thanks a lot, Mark! Using curl does the trick. However, I would
appreciate if this worked without an external shell command.

BTW, I have Rev 2.8.0 studio and the docs lack a hint to the missing
HTTPS implementation as far as I can see. If anyone knows
an easy way to do this with sockets (and maybe openSSL?), please let me
know.

Now, here is the working code (Win XP) to add an event to your
GoogleCalendar:
(You'll need

* A form, a button, 3 fields named "Output", "HEADER", "newentry"
in Revolution.
* Install curl, http://curl.haxx.se/download.html try the "7.16.0
WIN32" version, if necessary edit curlPATH.
* Paste an XML-formatted event into field "newevent" according to
the format specified at:
http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/elements.html . Try this Exampel
first: http://code.google.com/apis/calendar/gdata.html#add_event

Yes, but only for certain chars that would cause problems in queries 
like a single quote. If you have carriage returns, you'll have to 
replace the CRs with some other character for storage, and then convert 
them back when you retrieve the data.

It's barely two months since you filed an 'official' enhancement  
request. Out of interest, why haven't you voted for it yourself, or  
asked others to vote for it? As far as I know, enhancements with zero  
votes tend to get ignored in favour of more popular ones... ;-)


For anyone who *does* want to vote for more com ports, the  
enhancement request is at .

Parse Adob XMP data with Rev's XML lib?

[Sivakatirswami]

I am unable to parse the following using rev's library.
I'm not an xml expert... but, since several nodes all begin with

"rdf" I assume we need to refer to a node like this:

  put revXMLNodeContents(tMetaData, 
"/x:xmpmeta/rdf:RDF/rdf:Description/dc:description/rdf:Alt/rdf:li/")



but rev throw and error "xmlerr, can't find element"



   http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#";>
  http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";>
 

   Caption can be found 
here


 
  
   


In the meantime i can hack this by removing all tags as there is not 
data except the caption

in any of the nodes

It also works properly with my XML Library 
(http://www.sonsothunder.com/products/xmllib/xmllib.htm), just as you'd 
expect:

  put 
stsXML_GetNodeData("/x:xmpmeta/rdf:RDF/rdf:Description/dc:description/rdf:Alt/rdf:li/")
  --> Caption can be found here

And of course being transcript only, it can be used with Rev's XML DLL 
as well.


(Katir, you already have my library, but this is for anyone else 
interested...)

OS X CGI

[Richard Gaskin]

Jacque's tutorial on using Rev engines for CGI work on OS X says that 
the Darwin engine is required"



Why can't we use the Intel-native runtime engine for OS X on OS X?

Does this mean that all OS X server apps are saddled with the 
responsibility of being limited to running in Darwin, or is that for 
some particular aspect of her tutorial?


(I use Linux servers myself; can't see paying Apple prices for hardware 
the end-user will never see )
