launch URL to get an e-mail with BCC, Subject and Body (was revMail and BCC)
Hi, I just noticed that 4 answers I posted to Ken Ray, Shao Sean and Klaus Major, do not appear in the Archives. So I supposed they have'nt been received :-((( For me here, they have been send normally; (I did not receive any daemon message). I am really sorry for that. So, instead of resending them one by one, I put together this 4 answers hereafter (from the more recent to the least one) hoping this time that will be received!

Thank you Josh for this suggestion. I am using Mail included in Leopard on Mac. Seems that it has not this limitation. I just tried to add my address in To. Unfortunately, I get the same result as for the subject and body fields : only texts without any special characters (including cr) are allowed (without URLencode ; with URLEncode, I get the texts but in their encoded form). This is how Rev (revMail) deals with this problem: on revMail pTo, pCC, pSubject, pBody put uniDecode(uniEncode(pSubject), UTF8) into pSubject put uniDecode(uniEncode(pBody), UTF8) into pBody put urlEncode(pSubject) into pSubject put urlEncode(pBody) into pBody replace + with %20 in pSubject replace + with %20 in pBody Maybe this will inspire you a bit ;-) Note: this fails completely on Windows, see Bug nr. 6432.

AFAIK it is certainly possible - I did some research on that a few years back.

Re: Palette that reacts when changeing the top stack....
Thanks for the pointers. I've been battling with using the resumeStack handler in a front script. It gets called everywhere including when something is put in the message box, causing recursion so I've had to include the following tests to get it working safely. Just started using it today - so there may be case which still cause recursion? on resumeStack -- safety if the shiftkey is Down then pass resumeStack -- sent to the card of the stack clicked on put the long id of the owner of the target into stackObject put the mode of stackObject into stackMode -- skip if it is a palette or similar if stackMode 2 then pass resumeStack -- safety (stops messages and other stack causing recursion) put the short name of stackObject into stackName if char 1 to 3 of stackName = rev then pass resumeStack -- do your stuff here beep pass resumeStack end resumeStack You also have to trap for openStack or preOpenStack as opening a new stack does not triger the resumeStack event. 2008/6/4 Wilhelm Sanke [EMAIL PROTECTED]: David Bovill david at openpartnership.net wrote on Sat May 31, 2008: Its been a while since I've done this... what's the best way to trap for this? Do I need a front script (in case the stack blocks a message) - or can I intercept and pass a Rev IDE specific message? and on Mon Jun 2, 2008 Yeah - and what a nightmare to debug! Not sure if it does this in Rev IDE but any bug or event that causes something to be put into the messagebox - triggers the resumeStack again which can then cause infinite loops - goto block that 2008/6/2 Mark Schonewille m.schonewille at economy-x-talk.com: Hi david, I'd trap the resumeStack message, sometimes the (pre)openStack message, in a front script. Concerning the refreshing of a palette or a modeless stack when something in the topstack changes or when the topstack itself changes: three examples and hints: 1. Rev Application Browser If you select - with the pointer tool activated - a control in the topstack and have previously chosen the card that contains the control in the Application Browser, then you can refresh the Application Browser by clicking in the left window or the decorations bar of the AB. The AB will then hilite the line of the control (tested with Rev version 2.9). 2. The Metacard Control Browser The Control Browser of the MC IDE is more efficient in this respect. It will update immediately and automatically when you select a control of the topstack, i.e. without need to enter the Control Browser or click on it. As far as I remember this is brought about by the refresh handler in the card script of the Control Browser. 3. MCBrowser and RevBrowser These personal tools were developed 8 years ago at a time when the performance of the precursor of the Application Browser was unsatisfactory in many respects, RevBrowser is not a web-browser and should therefore not be mistaken for the new Rev web-object. Quite a number of such tools have been developed by members of this list addressing a whole range of specific needs that are not covered by the Rev IDE. Both MCBrowser and RevBrowser reflect - the changing of the topstack - going to a different card of the topstack - choosing (selecting) a different control when you re-enter the Browsers (triggered by a mouseenter-handler). Have a look at the card and stack scripts of these stacks to see how this was implemented. Basically, it must be possible - using a routine similar to that ot the Metacard Control Browser - to achieve a refresh automatically without entering the browsers with the mousecursor. I haven't looked at the scripts myself for a longer time, so bear with me that you should have a look for yourself, but I use especially the McBrowser - as I still prefer the MC IDE over the Rev IDE for faster and more efficient workflow - on a regular basis with larger stacks when I need to change the scripts of a greater number of controls. You can get and inspect these stacks from page Tools and Samples for Development of my website http://www.sanke.org/MetaMedia === From the text of that page: RevBrowser: for Revolution only: The small, convenient, and fast alternative to Rev's Application Browser and Object Browser. Includes a fast script searching tool that lists all found scripts lines - with the searchstring colored - along with the addresses of the objects. Clicking on the object address lets you edit the respective script. Stack is from 2001 and needs to be updated - there are some bugs - and because it is not yet able to access and edit unplaced groups - which you also cannot do with the above-mentioned Rev-IDE tools. MC-Browser: The Metacard version of the above RevBrowser. It is basically an enhanced and refined Metacard Control Browser with an added fast-search function that lets you search all

Replace first number with another number in list field
I have a list field (field content, containing lines of two numbers separated by commas. I want to replace the first number in each row with the number that the user types in a field new There is also another field (field old). For some reason, the following script get error messages (replace item 1 of field content with tVar) when I compile it. on mouseUp put field old into theMatch put field new into tVar get the htmltext of field content repeat for each line theMatch in field content if item 1 of field content = item 1 of theMatch then replace item 1 of field content with tVar exit repeat end if end repeat end mouseUp This is my first venture into dealing with text.

I want to replace the first number in each row with the number that the user types in a field new There is also another field (field old). Working with the htmlText will retain any special formatting but makes text manipulation more complex. If you are content to work with plain text, then I think the following script would be fine: on mouseUp put field old into theMatch put field new into tVar put cr field content into tList replace cr theMatch comma with cr tVar comma in tList delete char 1 of tList -- get rid of the added cr put tList into field content end mouseUp I got the original list and added a cr to the start of it so that the first real item on any line had a cr before it and a comma after it. This allowed me to do a single replace that was only going to affect the first item of each line. Then I removed that extra cr and replaced the data in the field. If you need to maintain some character level text formatting, then you will have to use the htmlText and things get tricky. I made myself a list of paired numbers, made the 2nd line bold and the 4th line italic. The htmlText was then as follows: p1,65/p pb2,44/b/p p3,12/p pi2,5/i/p p3,8/p I guess you could use: replace theMatch comma with tVar comma HTH, Sarah ___ 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

open new sub-stack with different record from database
Hi all, WINXP Rev 2.9 MSSQL How do I build an MDI interface where from a list of records the user can open multiple instances of a sub-stack with a different record on each sub-stack? Current setup: Main Stack - table list of records from a SQL database. Sub-stack - reads and displays the selected record. The table list has a mouseDoubleUp handler: == global gAccountNumber on mouseDoubleUp set the itemDel to tab put item 1 of the selectedText into gAccountNumber if gAccountNumber then go stack Edit Account end if end mouseDoubleUp == This handler opens the sub-stack. The sub-stack preOpenStack reads the record and populates the fields for display. Problem: If the user double clicks again on a different record on the table list, the currently opened sub-stack becomes focused with the first opened record displayed, not the second selected record. I can't open more than one sub-stack at a time?

Re: Storing and Retrieving stack data?
John Patten wrote: Hello All! I would like to save some user (student) input out of one rev project and have it accessible to another rev project (teacher) to generate reports. The users of the project could be on a school network (LAN/WAN) or at home on the Internet. What is the best way to save the data? What is the most common practice for saving the data for this type of project? Possible ideas... FTP user data as individual files to a ftp server? (Run through a process of reading back all the files in the directory to create report.) Send user data directly to mySQL database? (Require the mySQL database to be open to outside connections - direct connect to mySQL?) Send user data as a post process, using a CGI script to send data to mySQL database on server? The first idea seems the easiest, but I'm afraid could get to be pretty slow with a couple hundred files in the ftp directory. I could modify an existing file on the ftp server, however I run the risk of some data not being written to the file if simultaneous connections occur...? I have not done any work with Rev and mySQL, so if I could get away from the sql commands, all the better :-) But, if it would be the best way to go, I'm willing to focus on that area. Any ideas? Thank you! John: First, forget FTP many files, you don't need (or want) that Assuming you don't need the relational tables side of MySQL or PostGreSQL, AND, 1) concurrent writes are not going to be an issue (the likelihood of two hits on the data container in a period 1000 milliseconds, being virtually zero...) then your very simplest option is to use a stack on the server with each card containing the student data. Then you architecture looks like Desktop: Student Stack Teacher Stack Server CGI Data stack Use very simple POST and GET from in the desktop apps; use generic functions calls in the CGI; put all the logic in the data stack. This will easily handle up to 3,000 students. There are *lots* of advantages to this system: Most importantly, you can just copy the stack to your desktop and work on it, each card is a record, you view the layout in a visually rational way instead of having an abstract bunch of data in tab de-limited lines or custom props. In our CGI you never us go to card; you always, name each card with an ID, then use The card names of this stack to get and index and read and write data to fld x of card y It's very fast. 2) If concurrent writes are going to be an issues then externalize the data as individual .xml files, one per students. Again, use the ID as the file name or part of the file name. then you do set the defaultfolder to /home/public_html/student-records/ ; put the files into tRecords; Your architecture then looks like Desktop client -- cgi -- RecordsManager.rev (a stack) -- many XML files. Again, resist the temptation to put any logic into the desktop client; let them just get and post data; resist the temptation to build out the CGI... just do start using recordsManager.rev and use functions calls which are contained in the manager stack. Then the Manager stack has all the macho code to deal readng and writing to the individual XML files. If you are not a XML wizard, well, it's worth the learning curve and run, don't walk, to get Ken Ray's stack to help you with that and also you can use it on the server. This model could actually scale to some pretty large numbers and is very,very fast. CONS: 1) if you need dbase things like relational tables etc, then you need to go to SQL; 2) if you want to refactor the data you will need to process all the XML files in and then back out again to add or change nodes etc. But this is really not that difficult. (assumes again you have a handle on XSLT, with which you could refactor 10,000 XML files into new XML files in a second or two using simple shell like: put (xsltproc -o tOutputFile tStyleSheet tXMLfile) into tCmd 3) you *do* want to be writing good XML (use the same tag for the same class of data and attributes for differentiation, and don't proliferate many unique tags when all the data is really in the same class.. etc.) This has an interesting advantage that you an also deliver the student records into web pages runtime using XSLT... And, what I myself love about flat files systems with a clear nomenclature, if you want to get some info about 15368_trevor-johnston.xml all you need to do is fetch and open the file.
