Rev cgi upgrade question

2008-06-14 Thread jbv
Hi list, I'm about to re-design a web site that I built around Rev cgi in 2004/2005. Back then I used Rev cgi 2.5 Linux. Because of several new features, the site might get significantly more trafic than before, especially in tasks requiring lots of requests to mySQL. I was wondering if it was

Thanks everybody for the suggestions! One more question. Is it possible in RevMail to add the contents of a card as body text without using a text file? revMail doesn't have a feature to add attachments, but if the report is plain text, I would just include the text the body of the email.

Have you needed to sort lists by a value list or synchronize different lists, but thought it not easily do-able in Rev? You may find the following tips useful. In a field, type some lines where the first word is a random day of the week, then... on mouseUp sort lines of fld 1 by

Interface design copying Apple's address book

I'm still trying to copy the way the apple address book works and don't know how to make everything flow up to the top when only showing the fields which have data. Maybe it can be done with grouped fields and the geometry manager? Making the edit section is not as difficult because everything is

Hi William, I believe you just need to write a script that hides empty fields and sets the top of filled out fields to the bottom of other filled out fields (with a margin, probably). You probably want to group the whole thing and give the group scrollbars. Actually, I hate the

thanks. The address book grows on you and there is no way (that I can figure out) to have a card that is accessing a database behave exactly like hypercard and update when you change things, insert etc without first switching to some kind of edit mode.

Hi Mark, Sometime back I converted my old HC Address book to Rev; but, due to the size of the cards and some other stuff, I found it more useful to create a new Rev Address stack and write a script to transfer all of the data from the converted to Rev address stack to the new one.

The script is based on the CLICKCHUNK. So if your glyphs are seen with the clickchunk it might work. Most of the code is just math to find the proper cell after you have found the clickchunk. -=JB=- On Jun 14, 2008, at 4:40 PM, Kresten Bjerg wrote: Many thanks. The dynamic table is a
