Re: PNG transparency woes

2009-01-23 Thread Chipp Walters

Hugh,
For some reason, if there are not enough colors in a picture, rev saves the
image in 8-bit PNG instead of 32-bit PNG. That could be your problem.

Re: stupid question

2009-01-23 Thread Joe Lewis Wilkins

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the quick response. Friday evening is usually pretty slow,
and real late where you are. I was hoping that I could create a stack
that showed a bunch of different things and allowed browsers to go to
different cards that had different things displayed, choosing to buy
some; you know - the whole shopping experience, but contained within a
Rev stack; and that that stack could somehow be "whooshed off" to a
server someplace from whence shoppers would be able to use it. I know
I could create a stack or even a standalone that did all the things I
want it to do, but then how would buyers get their greedy little hands
on it to use it? It would take too long to download, since stacks of
that sort - with lots of pictures - would be huge, so downloading is
not an option. It really is/was a stupid question, I guess, if you are
able to read my mind to see how simple I want things to be. (enormous
smile!) Looks like I'll have to conform and do it the way everyone
else is doing it.

Thanks once again,

Joe Wilkins

Hi Joe,

Sure, it is very well possible to create website with Revolution.
There are several people on this list who use Rev CGI to serve a
dynamic website. Although I use PHP increasingly often, I have used
Revolution in several cases to create static websites, such as and . This one is powered by Rev CGI.

I have also created a simple html editor for a client. In
combination with revBrowser, it is a very nice little tool. Btw I
still use HyperCard to create simple file lists when I want to share
some files on-line without making a site. There is also Rev On
Rockets (is that the name?) by André, which is a complete server. I
made a similar tool, but that was for serving a particular database.

Generally, I think that most people create a template and fill
either dynamically using Rev CGI or with a Rev-based tool to create
a static website. Even if Rev is used as an actualy web server,
people probably still use a template to fill that dynamically.

Filling out a template is simple. Just make a file similar to

***

Read this template from a text file and replace *** with the content
of your site. Now send the modified data to the requesting client.

Now you probably need to decide whether you want to set up a Rev-
based server with a dynamic website or want to create a static
website with Revolution which you upload to a server...

Hi all,

I don't even know how to ask this question; but it seems to me that
we have all the tools we need in Rev to create websites. I see
postings about different ones of you using HTML and XHTML for some
of your projects. Is that what you're doing? I searched the Users
Guide for the words "website" and "webpage" and got nothing except
for one reference to the Rev website. I've done some webpages using
AppleWorks a very long time ago, and I understand the basics of
HTML and CSS; but a great multi-media app such as Rev should make
doing some pretty outstanding things a piece of cake. I just
haven't run into the "how to do it" for this sort of thing as yet.

TIA,

Joe Wilkins
