Odd results, in your case. I have had no problem creating and saving a stack with LIvecode Server 4.6.3, as well as saving and load multidimensional custom properties. Creating cards is no problems as well. here's my create stack code, be it simple as it is, that worked for me on LIvecode Server

Why would one want to create a field one can't use anyway? There are probably a lot of little things in LCS that haven't been trapped as errors or to fail silently yet, but common sense can be a guide to what is and what isn't: GUI objects are not applicable in a server environment. Reading

Robert, on my installation of LIvecode Server, everything you say I've found to be true, except that I was able to use my preferred suffix .rev instead of .livecode. I'm impressed that there are so many things are *right* and *up to date* in the docs lately, imho. On this new stuff, there's sure

Maybe. The start using command is for setting up library scripts though, not behaviors. Seems like there's a case for it to do both (as an option) but right now, I do think it will resolve paths to behavior scripts. Pete Molly's Revenge http://www.mollysrevenge.com On Mon, Aug 8, 2011 at

Re: Converting HTTP to FTP URL

2011-08-08 Thread Chipp Walters
Jacque, I believe you should have a separate http path and a separate ftp path. This is because as one adds users to their servers, they typically also add a different root folder for the user. So, for instance if I had a file located at: http://fred.com/coolstack/test.rev the ftp path for it

This is true for FTP apps like Transmit , Interarchy and Cyberduck that all have separate fields in their settings for web URL and FTP address. That makes features like 'copy URL' and 'copy PATH' available as a context menu item when selecting a file in their browsers. On 8 August 2011 13:51,
