LC server can do this simply. Php "echo" is equivalent to LC "put". So you are not trying to fake a user filling in a webform by taking the value in the input box and posting to a url. Instead you are filling the form and posting to the same url and want to redraw the screen with the same form but ...

Well, it depends on what your application on the webserver looks like. Is it PHP? Do you have access to the script it is sending to? Hi there, Yes, it's a simple .lc script I created that I post to and want the result to be displayed in a text box on the same web page. My server has lc server insta...

Very similar to php version <input type="text" name="textname" value="<?php echo $_POST['textnameresult'] ?>" /> If someone could enlighten me that would be great. Many th...

Hi All, First, let me say I have solved the issue. But need to find out if it is a bug or normal behavior. Current setup is LC 9 XCODE 9.2 MAC 10.13 Problem. When hiding a group and trying to update a field in that group while hidden was not working. The previous text that was in that field would al...

When in doubt search the forum. :D This gem from Panos solved the issue, Thanks Maybe your command line tools are not set to Xcode9.2. Check this: 1. Open Xcode 9.2 2. Select Xcode -> Preferences from Xcode's menubar 3. Click on "Locations" icon 4. In the "Command Line Tools" dropdown, choose "Xcode...

Hi Livecoders,

I have a very strange error while creating a standalone. Please see the attached picture. Anyone have any clue the issue here?
Using LC 9. and Xcode 9.2 Thanks

truncateToFit(stringToTruncate, nameOfDestinationField) is a function to determine where to truncate a string so that it fits into a destination field with ellipsis as needed. stringToTruncate = Any string or expression that evaluates to a string. nameOfDestinationField = the name of the destinatio...

Hi Richard, I have attached a picture of the current issue. I have also attached two examples I am testing out. Similar to yours. See below. I suppose either option will work. Was looking for a property or command I did not know about that I could use. But as Craig said as long as it works. :D Many ...

Hi Livecoders, Got a small issue that been nagging at me. I wonder if anyone can help. I use the function listed below from Livecode to truncate my text fields. However, if there is a long word at the end of the field the Truncating is not performed on the text. Apparently, this method only works if...

Something to check, if you have any groups on the card is that you have not selected "can't delete" option as this can cause issues with the copy process.

The most concerning problem was that the current v9 stack came up with an alert saying corrupt stack. In v9, or an earlier version expecting an earlier format? I wish that was the case. The first time I saw this alert was when I moved from a LC 9 Windows environment to a LC 9 MAC environment. Sayin...

Thanks for the suggestions Jacque, The most concerning problem was that the current v9 stack came up with an alert saying corrupt stack. Everything still works but I get some problems like some scrambled object ids, select object and getting a different object(checked ids are different), performance...

Thanks Klaus,

I will give this a go now. This would also work with datagrids as well?

Hi all, I have a small query. I have a stack that I started developing in LC 7 and moved to LC 9. The upgrade process seemed to work fine until I needed to build a standalone a week later. The size doubled and I found inconsistencies in the functioning of the stack. So I am left with trying to rever...
