Hi Ben, Livecode Server can only execute Livecode script files, but it can make use of stackfiles if you want to use the stack as a library for example. I am sorry, if i cannot explain it more detailed. Ask me in German and i could tell you what i really mean. ;)
But good example is this page here https://splash21.com/sQuiRt.php The sQuiRt library, which is now included in Livecode as a livecodescript library , was a stack library at the beginning. On this demo page a sample livecode server script is shown that uses a stackfile library to create QR codes and shows the QR Code then in the browser. And here's the script in action http://splash21.on-rev.com/index.lc <http://splash21.on-rev.com/index.lc> Regards, Matthias - Matthias Rebbe Life Is Too Short For Boring Code > Am 30.01.2021 um 17:34 schrieb Ben Rubinstein via use-livecode > <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com>: > > Hi Matthias, > > Thanks for answering. > > I haven't looked into Livecode Server.
