LiveCode Forums

I am accessing data - from a website and want to load it into a DataGrid. I have partially succeeded - my data is being loaded into the Titles part of the DataGrid... so, I need it to just put the titles there, and put the data below. Here is the code I am using on mouseUp put URL "myurl" into tFile...

I'm back to trying to connect to an external database. Let's start at the basics. I want to get data from my website database through an ODBC connection. Does LiveCode need to be installed on my server? My webhost seems to think that LiveCode has to be installed. If it does, is there a server versio...

Hi. I'm back. The IRS has been paid. Now...back to getting data from my SQL database. I couldn't figure out how to implement your ideas - so I searched around and found the code below - that seems to get database info without needing a RevLet ---or anything special---.

OK....maybe... do you have any examples of that being done - with a loop?

thanks for your prompt reply. Unfortunately, your solution just gives me the source code. I just want the the results of a query that I've run. Let's start again. I have an existing database (SQL - not msSQL) and I want to get information from it to LiveCode - (the results are a loop - so I need all...

I know I am jumping the gun because I'm new - but I need to know how I can retrieve data from my website to feed LiveCode. So I went to "how to pass data from a webpage to a plugin" and was following along in the instructions when it came to: Save your stack as a revlet and see the result What's a r...
