Re: picture upload initiated on a webpage severed by 4D webserver

We do this quite easily using an iframe. The iframe shows the image that’s already uploaded (if any) and contains a small form to upload an image … basically, an field, as with your example below. You can also include instructions about what’s supposed to be uploaded in the iframe page,

Re: 4D is acting strange?

Is there possibly some other method … a trigger perhaps … that’s resetting the t_6 field to some other value, or clearing it? I’d try the following: 1) Do a Find in Design looking for “[Extra 3]t_6:=”. That should identify any code you have that touches that field. See if one of your methods

Thanks Randy, In our particular case that problem doesn’t appear arise, perhaps since we’re not distributing a built application with unlimited desktop, we’re running something in-house on 4D Server. I did notice that the package contents -> Plugins folder for 4D Server (8.1) didn’t have the

V18 plugins not showing as Notarized?

Hi folks, My apologies if this is a “RTFM” question, but I’ve searched the Knowledge Base, and the NUG archive, but haven’t found an answer to this problem. (The 4D support portal also appears to be having issues at the moment.) I’m in the process of upgrading from v17.4 to v18.1, in large

Re: iOS 13.x User Agent Shows iPad as Macintosh

Hi Tom, If your code is assessing the userAgent in the On Web Connection database method then you’d have an issue, because the code I provided relies upon testing the browser’s ability to create a TouchEvent. 4D wouldn’t have a way to test that directly, but the browser can report its

Re: iOS 13.x User Agent Shows iPad as Macintosh

Hi Tom, Only necessary on web pages that need to differentiate between iOS and other operating systems/browsers. (Keep in mind, there are other mobile browsers out there … Chrome on Android, for example. So you shouldn’t be using iPad/iPhone detection code just to determine if you’re working

Re: iOS 13.x User Agent Shows iPad as Macintosh

… does a userAgent test* (oops), then checks for TouchEvent. In any event, modifying our browser detection code this way solved the problem for us. The !window.MSStream is in there because Microsoft injected “iPhone" into IE11’s user agent on Windows Phone. (Does anyone use Windows Phone?)

Re: iOS 13.x User Agent Shows iPad as Macintosh

Tom, Here’s how we handled it. Basically it does a userAgent text, but follows that up with an additional check for creating a TouchEvent if the userAgent includes “Macintosh”, as it will if iOS is emulating Safari on a Mac. This may fail when touchscreen Macs appear, but for now it does the

Re: Hosting Service for Small System

A couple of years ago I gave MacStadium an endorsement when asked about colocation facilities for a Mac server. I now feel that, in all honesty, I have to rescind that endorsement. Things have changed there, and not for the better. Early on in my seven-year business relationship with them

Thanks Chip! This is an impressive tool. We use some Javascript-based dynamic grids and pivot tables in our work and had been looking at updating the grid library we’ve been using. AG-Grid definitely seems worth a closer look! Ron > On Jan 15, 2020, at 7:47 PM, Chip Scheide via 4D_Tech

Re: 4D Web Server Security

(Sorry, sent this earlier but “from” the wrong email address so the list didn’t pick it up.) A few things to consider: 1) Even if you’re only serving dynamic pages, you can configure a front-end server to directly serve images and Javascript files, letting everything else proxy through to 4D.

Re: Off - Apple OS Server

Regarding the web server, if you’re just serving static content, then having your ISP host is usually fine. If you have a website front end that integrates with 4D then you can continue to use MacOS to serve your site. All that Apple is doing is unbundling some third-party applications,

Robert, You mentioned a Gmail account. Note that Gmail now treats any ZIP attachments as “suspicious” and doesn’t deliver them. That may be part of your problem. (Well, it’s all our problem, courtesy of Google). We started using an FTP service (Hightail) to send any ZIP files. Ron Rosell

Paul: Could be something as simple as an out-of-range error on an array; I’ve seen that cause 4D to consume 100% of CPU and then freeze. If any code was recently modified (especially involving arrays), I’d check on that. Also, run Maintenance & Security Center diagnostics and repair any

[Off] Remote backup

Hi all, I’m looking for ways to improve my off-site backup strategy and was wondering if any of you found an online service that reliably backs up the log (.journal) file on a high-frequency basis … without disrupting that file. We have several servers (Macs) in two colocation data centers …

Re: UUID vs Longint primary key

I can’t speak to any performance differences when using them as indexed key fields for searches … they likely have similar performance, but that’s just a guess. But here’s one situation where UUID has an advantage. We historically used the Sequence Number (a longint) as the primary key, until

Kirk, something seems odd about this code. Toward the end you have: If ($key#"") QUERY([KVP];[KVP]key=$key;*) QUERY([KVP]; & ;[KVP]dir=$dir;*) QUERY([KVP]) End if That last Query([Table]) would bring up the query editor. I’ve never tried doing that at the end of a string of Query

Main issue I ran into was running it on a new MacBook Pro with touch bar; you need 4D 15.4 or higher for that to work. 4D v 14.x just quits on you on a touch bar Mac. (The workaround is to bring up a VM in a program like Parallels running El Capitan; that will work, even on a touch bar
