Building desktop externals -- Runrev site links missing

Post by paul_gr » Fri Jun 21, 2013 11:06 pm

Hi all,
I can't find the links on how to build desktop externals on the Runrev site.
the old link
http://www.runrev.com/developers/tutori ... ls-part-1/

just redirects to ...

http://livecode.com/developers/

where I can't find anything on externals apart from the iOS ones...
Anyone got links relevant to making desktop externals?

cheers
Paul

For whatever reason, the website has been severely dumbed down lately to the point of being unusable. Not only is the link to the externals sdk and tutorials missing, the entire revUp archives are no longer available. I can no longer find anything useful.

Have to agree with you Mark.
It appears that the new site is lacking a lot of older but valuable content...
Maybe someone at Runrev has slapped a new front end on the old site.

Found the URL's I was looking for in my newsletter bookmarks::
Here's the links for anyone interested.

Ignore the php errors on the above pages; the site is still a work in progress?
