LiveCode Forums

I have a project I am working on that involves an OrangePi set up out in a field (literally out in a field) and I use one of these things: https://hologram.io/nova/ plugged into the Pi to send small chunks of data to a server where I have Livecode Server running...which collects that data and does a...

I wanted to post and let you know I am still working on a basic framework to post for people to use as a starting point. The topic comes up quite often, so I wanted to have a good working example of interacting with Livecode, Livecode Server, and a Database. It will probably take me another week to ...

Eventually you will probably want to use a framework like Revigniter, but it is my opinion that you would progress much faster in this if you start by writing your own structure or copying a basic structure and getting the hang of how website applications work. I have a basic structure that I use as...

It sounds like you just described a CMS or web-framework. For a Framework, Revigniter looks promising, but I have not used it yet: https://revigniter.com/ I do not think there is a Livecode CMS at the time, but I seem to remember someone writing some Livecode/Wordpress API. I think this is it: https...

I second everything that @FourthWorld just mentioned and asked in his reply. I have used something very close to what you described on various database projects. The Livecode/MySQL server has all of my scripts and such, and the app just sends a specific request to the server and gets a reply with th...

No need to say goodbye. It is okay to take a break and explore other options, but you might find that Livecode fits some projects better than others. I usually just write in PHP and use existing CMS such as Wordpress to fit most of my projects, but Livecode has unique tools and features that work we...

Can you elaborate a little more on what the app will do.
Do you want a website where people can login and access a database? Or do you want an app that gets its data from a remote server?

Just a thought: It would not be too complicated to create (with some help) a bash script that runs on your pi that would ssh into your webserver and write all the data to a file there. Your webserver could then do the rest with that file. The script on the pi could run on a schedule of however frequ...

What OS is the webserver running that will display the data?

Using ssh keys is going to make things much easier. If you can generate a pair of keys on your work computer, you can then just place the contents of the .pub key into a file on the pi called authorized_keys It should live in the .ssh folder of whatever user you have set up on the pi, like: /home/Pi...

..another question: how is the data gathered on the pi? Is it stored/updated in a text-file or database, or do you request it each time you need it?

using ssh keys for password-less login might make things easier. Can you do that?

if you had ssh keys set up on your pi and your work machine, you could maybe just write a bash script that does everything you want and trigger that script from livecode.

are the spaces correlating to anything in particular? (quotes, carriage-returns, etc.)

Ok. I am just going to go pop myself some popcorn. Be right back

I hear your pain, but you might want to know that this is a user-forum rather than a direct communication line to the LiveCode Team. You might consider writing them an email. As someone who started with Filemaker Databases several years ago, I can tell you I had a similar feeling of frustration when...
