Re: [VOTE] Mousedoubleup is not working in web plug-in

Alejandro,

I wrote earlier that your revlet wasn't loading completely on my Firefox.

Well, on my WinXP IE8 it does load. Odd. Both my IE8 and Firefox 3.5.4
use the revAppVersion 4.0.0-dp5 build 920 plugin.

Anyway. You're right. The mouseDoubleUp does not work.

Mark and Jim,

Awesome. I knew there had to be an elegant way to do this.

Additionally if you want to remove (trim) single spaces from either

get fld "Spaces"
repeat for each line LNN in IT

Thanks. That's great to know that it renders correctly under WinXP.
On Firefox 3.5.4 under OSX Snow Leopard the views are different. only  
38 columns get rendered when served from on-rev.

Alejandro,

Sorry but your revlet is not loading (WinXP, Firefox 3.5.4). Just get
a "Loading revWeb Content".

However, other revlets, like Sarah Reichelt's "system info" revlet, do work.

And according to Sarah's revlet, my plugin info is "revAppVersion
4.0.0-dp5 , build number 920".

about Rev cgi and MySQL

Just curious about something. But I don't know the technical
vocabulary, so please forgive this verbose (and confusing?)
explanation.

I think it essentially has do with user queues.


I have a Rev.cgi script on the On-Rev server that works in this 3-step sequence:

(STEP 1) uses SELECT to retrieve data from a MySQL table

(STEP 2) does stuff based on that retrieved data in order to alter it

(STEP 3) uses UPDATE to put that now-altered data back into the same MySQL table


My question is about data mishaps that could happen during STEP 2 --
specially if it happens to take a long time (a few seconds?) -- should
it happen to come about that a new user calls a Rev.cgi which is still
working on a previous user's call.


The chaos sequence I have in mind is this:

USER 1 : STEP 1 --> Rev.cgi retrieves data from SQL table at time X ( = tData)
USER 1 : STEP 2 --> Rev.cgi works with tData to make tData_User1 (but
no UPDATE yet)

... but during USER 1 : STEP 2 ...

USER 2 : STEP 1 -->   Rev.cgi retrieves data from SQL table at time
X+1 (still = tData)
USER 2 : STEP 2 --> Rev.cgi works on tData to make tData_User2 (but no
UPDATE yet)
USER 1 : STEP 3 --> updates SQL table with tData.User1
USER 2 : STEP 3 --> updates SQL table with tData.User2

In this chaos scenario of mine -- if indeed this is how things
actually happen between servers, which I'm hoping it's not -- the
problem is the state of tData at USER 2 : STEP2. It should not be
tData but actually tData_User1.


So, is there something in-built in SQL or Rev.cgi that handles queues
in such a way that prevents this kind of queue chaos, whether it's 2
or 2 million users calling in at the "same" time

Or do I have to take care of this myself somehow, by, say, proper scripting?

Thank you.

Hi all,

Could you verify if, in the latest version

inverted? 

That is, in the coordinate produced by this

[VOTE] Mousedoubleup is not working in web plug-in


Please, vote for Report 8403, if this affects your work:

Please visit this page that shows a revlet
that uses Mousesdoubleup message to hide
or "retract" the handles of the shapes that
you draw.

http://capellan2000.000space.com/test02.html

To draw, please follow the directions at the
bottom of the stack.

After you draw an object, click on the Arrow
pointer to edit the handles and point of the
graphic. Now click on the graphic and notice
that all handles and points are displayed.
Double click on the graphic to retract or
hide the handles... Nothing happens.

Mousedoubleup message is not send.

Notice that in previous versions of web plug-in
this action of double clicking, to retract the
handles of the graphics, worked as expected.

size restricted for on-rev hosted revlets?

2009-11-02 Thread Jim Lambert


Well, this is going to sound completely crazy.
I don't believe it myself. Must be doing something wrong.

I upload a revlet that's about 1200x800 and it's test.html to my on- 
rev account.
In firefox OSX 10.6 only the topleft part of the revlet renders. Just  
about 900x600 appears. The rest is cut off.


I upload the exact same files to another website and they render fine.  
The entire revlet is visible.


Yes, I've cleared the cache and even restarted.
Never seen anything like it.

Ideas?

Thanks,
Jim Lambert

I found with images, that setting the filename did not work. I had to use:
put URL ("binfile:" & tFileName) into image "Pic"

Maybe something similar would work for your videos.

Re-4: Off-Line revlets?

2009-11-02 Thread runrev260805

Hi,

tried "window.location.hrev" also. In IE8 i get no value back.

I tried the follwoing  html file with javascript inside.
-
Test


  alert(window.location.href);
  alert(document.location.href);



-
Running this html file in IE8 opens both alert windows showing h the correct 
value.


Only from within the revelt it seems that it does not work in IE8.

I used the following code to test it in my revlet

on openStack
local tURL
do "window.location.href;" in browser
-- do "document.location.href;" in browser
put the result into tURL
answer tURL
end openStack

In IE8 i get an empty answer dialog. In Firefox i get the value displayed

Is this a bug. Should i report this?

put specialfolderpath("apps") & "/videos" into mainfolder

The above line does create the correct pathway to this folder in
Applications. However, I then need to set the filename of a player to a
video inside that folder.

put mainfolder & "/test1.mov" into fname
set the filename of player 1 to ("file:///" & fname)

I need to use the "file:///" syntax because this is being done through
revweb in a browser (which seems to require this syntax... unlike a
regular player in a standalone). Using the above, the filename in the
player will NOT be correct, however, because the player requires the
users HD name to be right after "file:///".

In other words:

This doesn't work for the filename of the player:

file:///Applications/videos/test1.mov

This works:

file:///Macintosh HD/Applications/videos/test1.mov

I'm not sure how to correct this. None of the OSX specialfolderpath
returned values contain the HD portion of the pathway.

Suggestions?

Thanks.

Irev; Rev Cgi; stack as dBase: runs in iFrame in Word Press

2009-11-02 Thread Sivakatirswami

Thanks to a tip from Andre I have managed to use runRev in a word press 
blog. he says a revlet will also run too...I usually don't contribute 
much here because I feel I'm a "baby" compared to all the wizards ... 
but perhaps this will be useful to  those interested in incorporating 
runRev in PHP CMS frameworks. In this case a Word Press mu blog.


http://himalayanacademy.com/blog/taka/2009/11/02/words-to-ponder/

The "chain" of elements in the framework are interesting, as we use

-- an iFrame
-- Calls a .irev page
-- .irev page calls a rev-cgi
-- rev-cgi "starts using" a stack
-- stack function digs for and returns the content
-- results are posted back to word press.

The thing of it is... it's so easy! and so fast... Total lines of code?

22? (spread over three different files and don't forget a 7MB stack is 
loaded on every instance...but there is no lag time)


with one or two caveats.

In case any one is interested here is the code:

Word Press Post
(# space and breaks at the beginning to give a little breathing room 
above the iFrame below the post title)


    

   

## the css is needed to eliminate the border. iFrames will always 
"borderize" so just set the color of the border to the color of your 
background and it effectively disappears.
# Assumes you have the wp plug in that allows for pasting html into the 
blog and this is set to "allow"



RandomWord.irev # will be displayed into your iFrame, I suspect this 
could be a page that contains a revlet...


http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>


   

   Get
   Random Word
   
   

   background-repeat: no-repeat;">

put url 
"http://www.himalayanacademy.com/cgi-bin/getRandomLexiconWord.cgi"; into 
tWordOfTheDay

set the itemdel to "|"
put item 1 of tWordOfTheDay into tWord
put item 2 of tWordOfTheDay into tDefinition

?>

:
  





getRandomLexiconWord.cgi

# it would be nice to be able to call stacks directly with the iRev 
engine and
# I think that is on the roster of future for features but for now you 
need to

# do a GET of a a rev-cgi that Starts Using a stack

#!/opt/web/bin/revolution -ui

on startup
   start using stack "../public_html/resources/lexicon/lexicon.rev"
   put getRandomWord() into buffer
 put "Content-Type: text/plain" & cr
 put "Content-Length:" && the length of buffer & cr & cr
 put buffer
end startup

in the stack "lexicon.rev" (a 7 MB stack with about 3500 cards)

I have this function in the stack itself.

function getRandomWord
  put (the number of cards of stack "Lexicon") into tCards
  put random(tCards) into tWord
  put (fld "word" of card  tWord of stack "Lexicon") & "|"& \
  (fld "definition" of card tWord of stack "Lexicon") into tOutput
  return tOutput
end getRandomWord

# Caveat on calling functions in stacks using rev-cgi: a rev.cgi has no 
stack context. There fore you need to declare explicitely the stack 
reference to any objects in your stack. If you are working on the 
desktop in the IDE of course you don't need this and then when you post 
the thing to the web it doesn['t work.. .I had gone thru this a few 
years  back but for got about it  and it was until I reviewed some old 
function in other web stack that I realize again that you must do this:


put (the number of cards) into tCards

# works in the desktop in an IDE or standalone; fails when invoked by cgi

# this is required, for it to work when call by a CGI even though the 
function is in the stack "Lexicon":


put (the number of cards of stack "Lexicon")  into tCards

Again: total lines of runRev code (not including html)

22

Re: Re-2: Off-Line revlets?

2009-11-02 Thread Brian Yennie


Try:

window.location.href

I believe this should work for all browsers.


Hi,

i already tried that solution. It works without problems under  
Firefox here under Windows. But under IE8 i get no value back for  
"document.location.href;". Maybe due to security settings. I do not  
know.


But that means, that IE users cannot run the revlet, although it is  
started from the "right" website.

Matthias

Is it possible for an end-user to 'salvage' a revlet from
a browser cache and thereby continue using it, effectively
as a free-standing program, when not connected to the internet?



AND;


If this is, at least theoretically possible, is there a way to  
prevent it?



Hello Richmond,
Here is the solution that was given to my similar question a few  
days ago (

Thanks Malte!):


this script executes a bit of javascript in the browser. The result
will then contain the URL your revLet has been launched from and you
can react accordingly. so you might want to do this on openstack for
example


on openStack
local tURL
do "document.location.href;" in browser
put the result into tURL
if tURL <> "path/you/would/expect.html" then
answer "You are using my revlet from an unknown location. Please use
it from my site instead"
-- do a redirect here if you wish or quit
end if
end openStack


Hope that sheds some light.



All the best,



Malte

I am aware that renaming the revlet doesn't result in a stack as the 
build process pays put to that.


However, after one h*ll of a lot of work I am about to deploy a 
web-based 'thing' which will be entirely
FREE. Now,call me naive, call me 'Richmond' [in some quarters these are 
regarded as virtual synonyms . . .   :) ],

but I hope to pick up revenue by marketing both:

1. A standalone at a modest price (say $10) that has the same 
capabilities as the web-based 'thing'.


and, at a later date,

2. A 'Premium' program (with expanded capabilities) for slightly more 
(say$100).


I hope that the web-based 'thing' will act as a 'ramp' and pursuade a 
certain number of users

to pay for either #1 or #2.

Now, obviously, if the revlett is saveable, #1 is "down the kibosh".

Hi all,

I've recently been beavering away on my Data Tree library for  
RunRev, which is a control that delivers platform compliant tree  
views for the Mac and Windows. With this latest version of the beta,  
I think that I'm not too far from launch.


The aim is to make great looking trees that adjust their appearances  
when deployed to both the Mac and to Windows, yet be as easy as  
possible to work with. With the feedback that I've been receiving  
over the last month or so, I think I'm achieving that. The library  
comes with a help manual stack, showcasing what you can do with it.


If you would like to try out the latest beta, you can find a  
download on the Downloads page of my site,  
www.theworcestersource.com . There is no longer any need to register  
with the site first.

Jack, you should be fine if the application is not in the "Program  
Files" directory (or "Applications" directory on Mac OS X)..

RE: Difference between XP and Vista/7?

2009-11-02 Thread JACK RARICK

And does this count for any text files being written to the same program 
folder? And ... sorry ... if the program is ran from outside of the program 
folder, on a flash drive for instance - is that allowed in vista/7 and will I 
be able to write a text file there?

Sorry - trying to follow the link with only an XP machine to test on.

As far as I can tell about what you are reporting, this is a Vista  
Thing, not  Rev Thing.

In the old pre OS X days, the folder containing an App also tended to  
contain data, docs and whatnot.  All users could run the Apps and  
save data in the enclosing folder.  Apple then bought into the idea  
which had been around for a long time that all Apps should live in  
one place, all data somewhere else (where depending on the sort of  
data it was) - hence the docs folder and app folder.

On Windows it has long been possible for a user to have the privilege  
to run exes, but not write to the folder containing the exe - and in  
these cases ether the save location or the privileges had to change.   
However, XP and earlier were kind of sloppy about this, and it was  
easier to fix privileges on a per user basis than stick to saving  
things where they 'ought' to be.

Vista is not sloppy, but slippery.  Rather than complaining that data  
can't be written, triggering an error or hanging your standalone, it  
will obligingly write your data to somewhere else, and pretend it has  
done what you ask.  Your Rev program has no way of knowing where the  
data has gone, but it sure won't be there when you try to look for it  
later!  What you will find is your original unchanged stack(s).

So, you can save changes to stacks in Vista just don't try to do it  
in the Program directory.  You can have the stacks initially load  
from the program directory, or from a custom property (see Klaus  
Majors recent post Re: Where to place (sub)stacks?) and you can use  
specialfolderpath to save elsewhere after the stacks have been  
changed. Often the script can be made to work the same cross  
platform, although depending on what it is you want to save, you  
might not find an entirely satisfactory place for it to go on Vista,  
and I assume Vista 2.0 errr... I mean Win 7.

Hi all,

I've recently been beavering away on my Data Tree library for RunRev,
which is a control that delivers platform compliant tree views for the
Mac and Windows. With this latest version of the beta, I think that
I'm not too far from launch.

The aim is to make great looking trees that adjust their appearances
when deployed to both the Mac and to Windows, yet be as easy as
possible to work with. With the feedback that I've been receiving over
the last month or so, I think I'm achieving that. The library comes
with a help manual stack, showcasing what you can do with it.

If you would like to try out the latest beta, you can find a download
on the Downloads page of my site, www.theworcestersource.com . There
is no longer any need to register with the site first.

Question about using the embedded browser

Hello folks,
Obviously it is possible to load the browser with HTML content stored directly 
in the stack, but is it possible to include images stored in the stack? In 
particular, how does one insert an image into the HTML code in a way that the 
browser will look for it as a stack resource?

AW: Difference between XP and Vista/7?

2009-11-02 Thread Tiemo Hollmann TB

...add:

Probably you now have understood, why it is working, when you host your file
on the desktop - because it is not the program dir

The paradigm of runrev hasn't changed. It's not a matter of rev, so you
won't find anything in the docs. It is a matter of the system. You have
never had the rights to update a rev stack in a dir, without the user
permissions on that dir. That was always ever, since the beginning. The only
thing what has changed, as we already pointed out, is that MS has changed
his paradigm, how to handle user rights on the program dir and others...

Hi Lars,

As Scott as said, from the system side, everything is said already.
I think you have to deal with techniques, how to handle an app with
different files at different locations, so that you can update your files,
what you can't, if you store them in the program dir. You have to say
goodbye to your technique of a one file standalone or a standalone at one
place. For storing datas, which can be changed by the user there are a lot
of different approaches. If you are using just another stack file or XML
file or databases, or whatever, the common thing is the place where to store
these updatable files, and that is what we have pointed to in the past
posts. There are also a lot of threads to these topics.

Re: How do I check which field has the focus on / is active?

Hope your tooth is better now.

I think you need to use both solutions.
Jan suggests setting the button's traversalOn to false so that it
doesn't become the focusedObject when clicked.
Klaus points out that you need to use the short name of the
selectedField for your current script to work.

If you put both these solutions together, then I think it should work,
but if not, please post more details and we can trya gain.

Cheers,
Sarah
