Happy new year to all of you.
Does someone know where I can find the API documentation
to access the new arrays ( Rev 3.0 ) from within externals ?
Thanks for any pointer or link.

Hi there
I have a mySQL table with about 4 entries. I also have a Rev cgi 2.5

I've downloaded 3.5.0-dp-2, but I need to go back to 3.5.0-dp-2. The manage

Hi David,
You can download beta versions if you have an Enterprise license.
Perhaps you should ask on the other list, if you have access to it.

Because the text of is a property of a field (button, image), not a

does not. From the docs:

To answer some of your questions, I only need to read data from mySQL,

Bonjour William,
When you delete the Dummy image you delete your template because
the engine looks for the first image with this name (in layering order).
So you have two solutions:
1. You rename the image when cloned:
clone img dummy
set the name of it to Copy of dummy
And:
delete

Hi jbv,
I am less of an expert with SQL than many, but I think you can simplify your
query a bit using the MATCH...AGAINST keywords:
for example, the first part (b) of your query might look like:
-- convert myList1 to a space-delimited items
SELECT Col10, Col11, Col12, Col13, Col14, Col15
When using repeat for each x in y you MUST consider each of the referenced
items (x and y) to be read only.
From the docs:
---
Important! In any of the for each loops, you should not change the
labelVariable or container in a statement inside the loop. Doing so will not
cause a script error,
I did not notice that ;-)
That's the main point.
Of course!

Hi Eric and Jim,
It is so obvious it has to do with the name and of course your suggestion
works.
After playing with it I got the idea of resizing the 'stamp'.
I got a scrollbar to do this but it only works if I limit it to just one

So I grouped the whole thing (stamp and scrollbar) and

Maybe I've remembered wrong. As I recall, if I alter any field in a
stack, or add a new card, or make other relatively minor changes, I
will be prompted to save before the stack closes.
On the other hand, occasionally, something goes mysteriously missing.
