Re: OT: Future of PHP - LAMP Based Web Site Technology
Here's part of Apple.com written in php: http://www.apple.com/software/pro/training/centers.php Hehe, they have the old header from months ago... someone needs to wake up in that department.

They just use browser friendly URLs (which are easily configured with Apache to hide things like .php extensions). Cal Henderson, the original lead developer, actually wrote a great book: Building Scalable Web Sites (The Flickr Way) which uses PHP throughout. Facebook is also written in PHP, and many other large sites. I think you'll find that the language has a huge installed base and will be around quite some time. With that said, I would focus on what people with similar needs to your are using - and don't assume that you can tell just by visiting their site. If you can't tell what they are using, there is a decent chance it's PHP! In regards to your html snippet, I would just say that using PHP doesn't mean that you have to run *everything* through PHP. You can most certainly supply links to static content. For example, there is no reason per se to have your privacy policy coming from a PHP file- it might as well just be privacy.html. If you use an off-the- shelf CMS solution, you may find that everything gets tunneled through PHP scripts, but even that is not so bad -- the performance is quite good if properly configured (and/or if you aren't taking on a huge amount of traffic). Either which way, I wouldn't find the snippet you posted alarming - it all really depends on your needs and what kind of data you are going to be displaying on those pages. Hope that helps and feel free to contact me off-list if you have specific PHP questions that I might be able to help you with. This is a super blue sky query for comment: We're interested in possibly outsourcing some web dev. In response to any RFP we might issue we will no doubt get a number of developers using LAMP. I already have one handy. All his web sites are *.php based (and table based) zero javascript or AJAX. We are wondering about the future of putting a huge amount of data into a PHP based web container Anyone have any comments? PHP is alive and well and moving forward... It is the basis for our wiki (PMwiki) On the other hand I don't see any in use in many progressive Web 2.0 sites. Not a single page at www.apple.com google or Flickr uses PHP. If we were, e.g. to take www.hinduismtoday.com from it current retro state (very much in need of a make over) to a new future, I'm concerned that pouring all that content into LAMP, could throttle any movement forward after that... Our content is a perfect candidate from offering API's for mashups. And our mission statement would definitely involve taking the wrapper off the data and making it available. This kind of code (below) makes me nervous... but I don't know if my gut feeling is simply based on ignorance of the unknown, or if it is a valid intuition that if we went this direction we would be hobbling our future: # every single dynamic element involves kicking the PHP can... brfont class=footer A href=http://www.kauaiunitedway.org/ class=footermenuHome/A | A href=subpage.php?main_cat_id=1 class=footermenuAbout Kauai United Way/A | A href=subpage.php?main_cat_id=2 class=footermenuContribute/A | A href=subpage.php?main_cat_id=3 class=footermenuParticipating Agencies/A | A href=contact.php class=footermenuContact/A | A href=subpage.php?main_cat_id=5 class=footermenuNews/A | A href=subpage.php?main_cat_id=6 class=footermenuFrequently Asked Questions/A | A href=sitemap.php class=footermenuSitemap/A | A href=privacy.php class=footermenuPrivacy/A | A href=linktous.php class=footermenuLink to Us/A Insights anyone?

Re: Rev Studio and Vista
Len, I've looked at Vista and it has the same set up system as XP. You do have a folder where your documents are supposed to reside. You can discover that with the specialFolderPath function, if need be. HOWEVER, on installing Revolution, it does NOT create the third party plugins folder for you. You have to do this yourself, or use the Galaxy 1.5 Installer to install Galaxy to create it. All that said, the easy way to solve this problem is to create the third party plugins folder yourself. Create My Revolution Studio folder in your blessed documents folder. Then within the newly created My Revolution Studio folder, create a folder called plugins and put your Galaxy Studio Startup.rev file and your GLX2 Code.rev files in there. Then restart Revolution on your Vista machine and you'll be as right as rain. Lemme know if you have any more problems.

question about saveStackRequest
Hello Folks, I am trying to monitor when the IDE saves a stack. I tried using saveStackRequest on a backscript and on a frontscript, both without success. I can't put the handler inside the given stacks because I don't know in advance which stack will be monitored. The idea is to watch when a user saves some stack and replicate this stack to a remote server. The stack is added to a watch list by the user, something like: (*) Keep server up to date and from that point on, the stack is thus watched. In my tests here, my scripts running as a front or back script can't see that event. I believe that the IDE is sending that directly to the stack without going thru the message path, is this possible? Any Clue?

Re: Saving a field containing text and images
It's possible but complicated. I don't know if you need a document readable by something else, but if it's all to be saved and loaded by your app, it can be done. I've experimented with with saving all fields and images in a group as text descriptions. to keep the size down, all images are referenced rather than actually hold image data. 1. I get all the properties of the object into an array, and fix the returns that are in certain properties (like colors) to some other character. 2. Then I flatten the array to a list with combine. 3. Base64Encode the list 4. Replace the returns in the Base64 encoded list with linefeeds 5. this results in a single line 6 Add a key identifying what the object is (field, image, etc) tab and then the data 7. Build the list with other objects, one per line 8. save as a single text file. This will be very small. By saving all the properties, you are also saving the HTMLtext and rect information. If the images have been resized, you also may have to save a line of actual rects and resize upon expanding. On expanding, all the fields and images are recreated and the saved properties expanded (reverse of above) and applied to the created objects, and they will be arranged exactly as you saved them. The Base64 encoded text does not have to have the returns restored; it reads sections by number of characters, not delimiter. this former theory has been tested and works. It's also really fast with text fields, images take a little longer to 'decode', but totally acceptable for say, a labeler or something. sqb Thanks for your quick answer, as usual. I've made some testing by saving the field's htmlText , but after that you need to export all the images and it can lead to the creation of a huge number of files.

You might try to trap 'revSaveStackRequest', a message listed among the ones a plugin can receive. It would be a shame if Rev's IDE design prevented their own message path from working as documented. One could use their replicant mirror messages, but why indulge the inefficiency? If they're able to generate their scripted mirror messages, the built-in messages from which they're derived must be working fine. My hunch is that they're just trapping and not passing the saveStackRequest message. I was able to find this in their revFrontScript: on saveStackRequest global gREVMessageDispatch repeat for each line l in gREVMessageDispatch[revSaveStackRequest] send revSaveStackRequest to this cd of stack l end repeat put the short name of the owner of the target into tStackName revCheckScriptSaved tStackName put empty into gREVStackStatus[revTargetStack(the target)] if id 1230 is in the frontScripts and revTools is in the frontScripts then select empty send revSetMarkers true to btn revReshape of stack revTools remove script of btn revReshape of stack revTools from front end if if not gREVSuppressMessages or (gREVSuppressMessages and revOKTarget()) then pass saveStackRequest else pass saveStackRequest to metaCard end saveStackRequest So it seems the passing of the native message is conditional. I didn't dig through the code to try to determine how that condition gets met, but hopefully this will get you started. -- Richard Gaskin Managing Editor, revJournal ___ Rev tips, tutorials and more: http://www.revJournal.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

FTPing a Rev OSX app
I'm sure this has been talked about before, but I can't seem to put my finger on the answer. I need to download via ftp (via RunRev code) a Mac Rev app off our remote server (a Mac Mini server) as part of an automatic file updating process when our Rev application starts up. What's the best way to do that, given the package structure of OSX apps? Clearly, an OSX Rev app cannot be treated the same as a Windows Rev exe. I thought it would be adequate to simply treat the .app as a folder and go into the Contents folder (when viewing the Package Contents), then inside the MacOS folder, then update only the actual UNIX executable file in there, but this doesn't seem to be working.

Re: FTPing a Rev OSX app
Richard, never transfer MacOS files thru ftp without putting them on a safe container. Best way to transfer your application is by using a zip file. Zip the application bundle and use RevZip functions to extract it later. This is actually how Revolution own updater works I think.

I need to download via ftp (via RunRev code) a Mac Rev app off our remote server (a Mac Mini server) as part of an automatic file updating process when our Rev application starts up. What's the best way to do that, given the package structure of OSX apps? Clearly, an OSX Rev app cannot be treated the same as a Windows Rev exe. I thought it would be adequate to simply treat the .app as a folder and go into the Contents folder (when viewing the Package Contents), then inside the MacOS folder, then update only the actual UNIX executable file in there, but this doesn't seem to be working. Thanks for any suggestions.

Re: FTPing a Rev OSX app
OR... you could host just the main stack on a server which could be updated by FTP and make a 'splash screen' standalone to launch it. The stack can be directly loaded from the server. Since it all goes to memory, the functionality won't suffer at all. Richard, never transfer MacOS files thru ftp without putting them on a safe container.

Make box of checkbox transparent
I have a stack that has a background color. I'd like my checkboxes to be transparent so as to carry the background color through. This is on XP. How would I go about doing that? Opaque doesn't help. Blending doesn't seem to, either. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: question about saveStackRequest
Andre Garzia wrote: In my tests here, my scripts running as a front or back script can't see that event. I believe that the IDE is sending that directly to the stack without going thru the message path, is this possible? The docs say that when the user chooses to save, Rev locks messages to ensure the save occurs. I'm not sure what it does to the message after that, but since it is an IDE behavior, I'm pretty sure your standalone will work correctly. I've never had any problem with the message in standalones. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: question about saveStackRequest
Richard Gaskin wrote: if not gREVSuppressMessages or (gREVSuppressMessages and revOKTarget()) then pass saveStackRequest else pass saveStackRequest to metaCard end saveStackRequest So it seems the passing of the native message is conditional. I didn't dig through the code to try to determine how that condition gets met, but hopefully this will get you started. It's conditional, but looks like it is behaving correctly. The condition is basically to always pass the message unless the user has specifically turned off messaging via the toolbar icon. The message will also be passed regardless of the toolbar setting if the target stack is in the IDE (I think; have to look up targetOK.) If messaging *is* turned off and the target stack is a user stack, then the command is sent directly to the engine, bypassing the stack (appropriately.) -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
how to get the frame rate of a Quicktime movie?
I found the following post from 2002: Thanks Karl Here's what I have come up with so far. To determine the frame-rate of a video clip: It seems that if you advance the video clip from 0 by 1 frame (play step forward) and divide the timescale property by the currenttime property, the result is the video frame rate. Can anyone think of a better solution? Quicktime has both a timescale and a timebase property, but RR doesn't seem able to access the timebase. -- Robert Arnold Associate Professor of Film Boston University Tel (617) 353-7735 Fax (617) 353-1084 http://people.bu.edu/rfarnold/ I have tried play step forward in a myriad of forms.
