Re: Looking for volunteers to create Wikipedia on CD application
sounds nice what work exactly needs to be done? where can one look at example xml files? why do you think you need help? will you manage and direct the efforts? including media installers is allowed by runrev, but of course one should ask em beforehand. note that the browser external is only available for mac and win. so it'd be probably good if the content could be shown in fields, and not use that external, on-rev or the web plugin. but maybe you had a different idea about how to do it? have fun björnke On 24 Jan 2010, at 04:04, Alejandro Tejada wrote: > > Looking for volunteers to create Wikipedia on CD application > > Recently, the Python Users group from Argentina, > joined efforts to develop an application that > allows to read Wikipedia contents offline, directly > from CD or DVD.

Question about a group of edit controls
On the interface I'm working on, I have tab panel setup with background behavior which is working properly. Navigation from card to card works without any problems. I also have a group of edit controls that I want displayed on each card, but I want the data contained in each edit box to remain common to each card. The edit controls need to remain editable from any card they are displayed on without the content changing when navigating from one card to the other. I've tried this several different ways without any success and would appreciate any advice that you might offer.

Re: Question about a group of edit controls
David, save the data in a custom property. For example on closeField set the cData of me to the text of me end closeField and in a preOpenCard handler: on preOpenCard set the text of me to the cData of me end preOpenCard -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer TwistAWord supports Haiti.

That way it will store different data in the same field for each card. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com 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
sleep mode
Anyone know what happens when a handler is in the middle of a long repeat loop and a laptop user closes up and the machine goes into sleep mode? I am assuming that iteration stops and nothing is saved. Is there a system message that can to trapped to save the execution contexts, or whatever? I'd like to be able to resume what was happening when the machine went to sleep, but I don't know if this is possible. -- Peter Peter M.

Re: Question about a group of edit controls
Mark, Jacque, I really appreciate the suggestions, but right after sending my message I happened to remember how to use the "group method" for navigating the tab control, which works well in this case. Getting all of the various controls aligned this way is a bit more difficult, but once that chore is over with, everything will work from the same card without any interference to the edit boxes. Ultimately, having everything I need available on the same card should make this particular application much easier to code anyway... :) Thanks again though!

Yes, a field could work too, but displaying the page inside a web browser should be ideal. Many thanks for your answers and interest.

Re: Looking for volunteers to create Wikipedia on CD application
Alejandro- Maybe I'm missing the point here. What's the advantage of reading Wikipedia offline? Aside from the size of the files needed, the slowness of reading from optical media, and the static character of the data... I thought the point of wikis was that they're constantly in flux, Wikipedia more so than most. Errors can be corrected in realtime, new topics added, etc. As soon as the data gets burned to disc it's out of date, no? -- -Mark Wieder mwie...@ahsoftware.net ___ 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

Hi David, Your code reads and write to Wikipedia. Did you use this code as an automatic bot for reverse vandalism in selected pages? This could be useful as a module that could track changes in specific user selected articles. One of the greatest problems of using an offline Wikipedia database is to keep updated the database. The primitive and rather wasteful method to update the xml database is to download and index (again) the whole database.

Linux Go Stack opens in a new tab
On Ubuntu when I issue a go stack it opens the stack in a different TAB instead of as an overlapping window like in Windows or Mac.
