How to load external stacks or cards into standalone

[alex298]

Hello,

-----------------------------------
RR Version: Revolution 4.0
-----------------------------------

My application has some cards that need to change often (maybe two or three times per month). I have a question:

I wish to save some stacks or cards externally on my hosting account. Therefore the external stacks or cards will be loaded or imported into the standalone application when it starts.

How can I do that?

Thanks and best regards

Alex

Hi Alex,

well, most simple:
...
go stack url "http://www.youryserver.com/folderwith_s ... k.livecode"
if the result <> empty then
## problem
answer "Error:" && the result
end if
...
If that is what you mean?

Best

Hi Klaus,

Thanks! This is exactly what I am looking for:)

I played around with the codes. I noticed that the "imported" stack was a "separate" Main Stack. Is it possible to imported as a sub-Stack? This way there is no need to refer to the stack name when navigate between cards.

Best regards

Hi Alex,

making it a substack does not make sense, since you will not save the stack(s), do you?

And you can still:
...
set the defaultstack to "the one loaded from the net"
## Name of stack NOT the complete URL!
go cd "nice card"
...

You are absolutely right. I am just curious to know if the loaded stack can be a substack:)

Thanks and best regards
