Running up a local machine with a simplified configuration would be a wonderful idea - if one just happened to be lying around! :wink: However, as I've never built a server from scratch, I'm fairly certain that even configuring a preconfigured virtual Ubuntu box on my Mac's Parallels partition would...

OK, sorted. I found the subscription link in one of the more recent newsletters that goes to this page http://www.runrev.com/support/mailing-preferences/
Best,

Thanks for the response bangkok, Yes, I've 755 permissions set on revolution and the CGI files. I think I need to check that the necessary libraries for RunRev are in place, as per this tip http://www.sonsothunder.com/devres/revolution/tips/cgi001.htm This may prove difficult as my Ubuntu server is ...

Hi Folks, I've just stumbled upon the RevUp newsletters page on the web site. The web page doesn't (seem to) offer an RSS feed - so is there any way to subscribe? As a new user, I find it a little strange that there is no mention of this resource in the Start Centre, Help Menu, Resource Centre, User...

Upon further experimentation, I'm not sure whether my problem is about file format or something else. I have edited the three test CGI script files directly on the server using Transmit and all fail with the same error code. For example, the following code copied direct from the 'Hello World" CGI ex...

Mark, Thanks for the tip. Just to clarify, this would suggest that Revolution text fields use UNIX-style format (line feeds rather than carriage returns)? Does Revolution work this way throughout - should I be able to copy and past from the script editor direct into TextWrangler, (my usual tool for ...

Hi folks, I'm experimenting with adding a simple CGI service to my Ubuntu web server and I'm struggling to get a basic test CGI script working. From the various threads in this section I think the problem is to do with converting Mac-based script text files to UNIX-compatible text files for the serv...

Mark, Thanks for the response and the tempName() function tip - it's definitely a real zip file I'm grappling with. (Strange that there is no mention of this temporary folder/file capability in the Revolution user guide under special folders, as it's really useful to know and nigh-on impossible to f...

Hi folks, Is it possible to store zip files temporarily within Revolution - and extract their (XML file) contents - rather than use local disk? Part of a web service integration I'm working on requires the download of a zip file containing one or more XML files. I'm trying to avoid any installation ...

Hi Zryip, Thanks for sharing the ideas of setting the visible data grid to be the filtered view of a different data set. I was slowly stumbling towards a variant of your option (2). My raw data is stored in multidimensional arrays within stack custom properties, which are then mapped into the data g...

Zryip, Thanks for the response and the dgText tip for CSV handling. I guess I could use code to add data grid filtering functionality (and other 'standard' UI control features that I was expecting Revolution to deliver 'out of the box'). However, as a non-developer - more used to configuring product...

Hi folks, I think I'll be needing a charts component for my project. Are there any reviews or comparisons of Chartmaker and ChartsEngine to help select - or is it a case of 'trial and see for yourself'?

Hi folks, I've started using data grids in my first app but I'm considering swapping to ListMagic for simplicity and the inbuilt features that aren't there (yet?) with data grids - especially filtering, checkboxes and the simple CSV-style data input/output. However, it seems that the increased ease ...

Hi Trevor, Thanks for the clarification.
It's surprising that there is no built-in support for what I would imagine to be an obvious, common requirement - still, good to know that I won't be reinventing the wheel as I try to sort it for my needs!
Best,
Keith..

Hi folks, A new week brings a new learning curve(!) I've now created my first data grid and I'm looking to set conditional filters on which rows are displayed, but can't seem to find what I need in the documentation. Is there a smart/simple function somewhere to help manage data grid row filtering o...
