LiveCode Forums

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried the following: put header "Content-dispostion: attachment; filename=" & theNameofMyZipFile --this is just the name and extension, not the full path put header "content-Type: application/zip" put binary url "binfile:" & thePathToMyZipFile --this is the relative path...

I think we are talking about different things - this isn't running on a desktop client. The script is running on the server and the server is sending the file to a browser client via http. That is what I was describing in my previous post, though maybe not too clearly.

Because I am using the content type of attachment the browser asks the user to save the file - basically the end result of the server side processing is a file the user downloads. That part is working correctly - it's just that what is getting downloaded is not a proper zip file, so I assume I am su...

I am trying to figure out the Livecode equivalent of this PHP: <?php // We'll be outputting a PDF header('Content-type: application/pdf'); // It will be called downloaded.pdf header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="downloaded.pdf"'); // The PDF source is in original.pdf readfile('original...

Also, it's important to remember that the kickstarted version of Livecode isn't out yet! And won't be for several more months. The community release that exists today is just an open sourcing of the old version. The real kickstarted version is coming - with a rewritten engine and a redesigned IDE. I...

I also see that there is an RC for 6.1.2 server in downloads.livecode.com/livecode/server/ - any word on what's changed/fixed? I don't think I have seen any announcement about a 6.1.2 anything...

edit - nevermind, found release notes

Did someone forget about server?

The links on both the community page and the licensed link on my store page for commercial all go to 6.1.0 for Windows Server.

It didn't break an old usage - I noticed it in the dictionary when I was working on something (and wondered why I had not been using it all along, since the dictionary said split had not changed since 2.8.1) and used it in something new that I was working on - when I deployed it to the server the ne...

Does anyone know when "as set" got added to split? The dictionary says that Split hasn't changed since 2.8.1, but I just had something fail on a server that was running 5.something because I had a script that used it. Upgrading the server to 6.1 fixed it, so I am assuming that this is a recent addit...

If that was directed at me, then... I don't really have any problem with the included docs, except that they are very out of date. I assume that this will improve once the new engine is done and everything settles down, though. The thing that I like about the Goodman books, as people have previously...

I would love to have a Livecode equivalent of this book. I taught myself Hypercard using the first edition of this book (without access to a Mac!). If someone wants to make a quick $50 bucks I will gladly pay you that much for one!

I keep forgetting that "else if - then" is available in Livecode because it's so much less readable than switch.

Worse - replying in one window, doing email in another window, and working on a script in another window. While on the phone.

The formatting is done automatically by the IDE, but it has no effect on the code - if it weren't indented it would still work. The important thing here is that an if statement is Livecode is If *condition* then do some stuff, could be multiple lines of code, could even have more if/thens within it ...

In the Number of Items discussion (http://forums.runrev.com/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=16383) runrevmark mentioned that they are working on a list object of some kind for future implementation. Since so much of what I do is dealing with lists of multiple items on multiple lines I am curious to find out mo...
