Re:Invisible invisible insertion point in field - solved but not resolved BZ 1734
First prize is shared by Sarah and Chipp - overlapping group. Thanks guys. Surprisingly BZ returned Key Ray's report first hit, and it is just about on its first birthday. Too much of a rewrite required for the time being, unfortunately. Sarah was also right about the margin/text offset/vscroll thing, but I seemed only to be able to effect any obvious change with left and right margins - so I made the editbox taller to show the ascenders and descenders. So that makes the Aussies one up in the Series already! ref: RevOnline user227 Table Field Experiment ___ 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

Unfortunately they are opposite As a test, as a result of Jonathon's post, I created a new stack, dragged a table field onto it along with a ordinary one. I grouped them, edited the group and dragged another single field into the group. All was as expected - insertion point etc. I also tried edting the group of the uploaded teststack and dragging a new field into the group. This new field had no insertion point. That suggests some sort of inheritance issue, but I could not see any obvious differences between the properties in the group, card or stack of the two examples. If the edit field is copied from the group and pasted onto the card, the insertion point then becomes visible. BTW in order to get left mouse drag of the field, I only needed to set the locktext to true - those associated props do not appear to change when this is done. Thanks for your rapid response. The problem isn't critical but gives this table component an additional element of flakiness it could do without!

Re: MatchText and PCRE
David Just a couple of points since Mark has already answered very well Frederic Rinaldi's plugin in the rev development/plugin menu is invaluble for testing Rev's regex implementation and porting syntax, if you haven't discovered it Like Mark, I had difficulties with the (?s) switch, though I concluded that this was to do with the greediness of the regex engine and my ignorance. I resorted to using repeat for each line since I could not get lookbehind to work. I would also recommend Jeffrey Friedl's illuminating book, though probably not reading it as I did during a couple of sleepless nights with a dental abscess. It is not a recipe book, but then I suspect that you already have a good understanding of regex.

Invisible insertion point in field
I imagine there is an obvious answer to this but I cannot figure it out. I have uploaded an experimental table field stack to my user space (user227), which uses work by and ideas from Chipp Walters, Sarah Reichelt and Scott Rossi. It has an edit field that sits on top of a worksheet/grid field. The problem is that although you can enter text in the edit field, the insertion point is invisible. Does anyone know why this might be? One possible clue is that in order to drag the field with the left mouse button, the field has to be locked when the mouse enters its border zone and the insertion point does not show in lockedtext fields - but then you can't enter text in such field either. As a side question, is there any reason why Rev should set the vscroll of this field to 4? I cannot recall any code that scrolls it directly and notionally the textheight and textsize are the same as the underlying field. I suspect this might be tied to the vertical offset from which text entered into fields, with hgrid enabled, seems to suffer.

Re: Database Query Builder: workaround please

However it is clear that on Linux and 2.0.1, the behaviour is not so extreme as you have reported, no matter what sort of garbage I enter in the query field. By the way, I did not say three times , but three times for each db object, though I did not figure out how that observation could be true. Does the query builder work for you, if you enter syntactically correct sql? If so, why not debug the query outside the query builder for the timebeing?Moreover, queries that attach to field objects, generally, are not very sophisticated : maybe an inner join between client_id from invoice and client tables for example, in order to show the client name, or select detail rows corresponding to an invoice. The Query Builder is clearly designed to return a record view of each row. In the end, I am not sure that the by field/column interrogation of the db is going to be fast enough though showall fields seem pretty quick. ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: File Open Error: Illegal File Name Character " " in xyz.rev
Rob I did a few experiments and it appears that the restriction is more to do with RevDev under Linux: 1: Rename a standalone to include a space - runs fine from term window or file browser. Build a standalone with spaces in name - Distribution builder replaces them with underscores. 2: Change a stackfilename(.rev) to eliminate space - opens fine. If I eliminated the Serendipity stack name spaces the stack would open but your error checking for the existence of the original filenames meant it then exited gracefully. 3: Try to save or open a mainstack(.rev) with space in filename in RevDev - produces illegal file name error message. Conclusion: Main problems with spaces are 1: RevDev - includes some precautionary filtering?(other unices?) 2: Difficult to read in console window especially with long paths!! (escaped spaces) And yes this seems to be the case : > Am I correct that this restriction applies only to the mainstack > stack file names? In other words, it's OK to set a stack's name > or label to "Serendipity Library" so long as the stack resides in > a file named "Serendipity_Library.rev"?

But I still don't use spaces; but then I still use punched cards. ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
File Open Error: Illegal File Name Character " " in xyz.rev
Just a thought File naming has been a topic before in this list but it would appear that if you want your stacks to work seamlessly on 'nix, (not that anyone does of course!) it would be wise to avoid spaces in stack file names. The db demo included with Rev and Rob Cozens' impressive SDB stacks both refuse to run on my Linux box because of the above error. If we are serious about cross-platform development, we will need to work with the lowest common denominator between systems. For the same reason, if we use applescript to achieve something, it might be wiser to find another way round and/or submit a request for the absent but required functionality to the list?? My problem is that I am not creative enough to use a Mac! ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
RE: RTF Reader in Rev
Roger Just a suggestion: There is an excellent open source Word compatible WP - Abiword (http:\\www.abisource.com) - reads, writes and prints Word Docs runs on GNU/Linux, BSD, Solaris (2.6, 7,8,9), AIX, HP/UX (10.20, 11.0), OSF/1, Tru64, Mac OS X,QNX,BeOS oh and I nearly forgot Windows. Perhaps Word will not be the de facto corporate standard for ever? Especially, since the file format does not remain the same!

Re: Web Access - launch Browser
Jeanne Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, I don't think it is the complete answer since the original scriptlet was: put the selectedtext into tAppName Answer file "Select Text file to open " If tAppName is not empty then put"file:" & it into tFileName Get shell (tAppName && tFileName) End if The problem was that the conditional clause never ran because tAppName was always empty. The answer dialog lines were inserted one at a time to discover if RR had picked up the selectedText, which it had but for some reason it would not *put* it into the variable. However, today it is working as expected - as I said, there are some gremlins at work somewhere - ?with running stacks within the dev UI? There are other issues under Linux - cutting from the documentation works sporadically( though c&p is a bit of a nightmare under X anyway), likewise code completion in the script editor and mouse wheel scrolling direction is reversed to mention just three off the top of my head. By the way. does RR install by default with root privileges - if so that might need to be addressed in due course? - though that will not be easy. > From: "Jeanne A. E.

Re: Web Access -launching external browser
FWIW RevGoURL does not seem to work at all on my Unix box
If you single step through the revLib, the function returns 255, which I take to mean
success, and nothing else. My workaround is to use:
put "http://"; & the selectedtext into tUrlName
put shell ("netscape" && tUrlName)
maybe the same approach will work for you
This seems to be true of a fair bit of RR on Unix - ie either things do not work as
expected OR they work and then they stop working. In this instance the library uses
*get shell .* not put; the message box will launch the browser if you
enter that command - but the same line in a script will terminate silently with no
launch.
and another example
answer the selectedtext
put the selectedtext into tAppName
answer tAppName
the first dialog box shows the selected text and the second is blank! ???
Still, it is early days.
