Thanks klaus. Not that it's not working the way I think it should, just not working the way I understood it from the LiveCode Lessons page I found the information on. Sorry, just trying to work through those lessons, then apply them, but my use cases are just different enough that it throws me off. ...

Well, this is a tad more complicated.

Here a little example that will put a checkmark into a field:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   put numtocodepoint(0x2714) into fld 1
end mouseUp

Klaus rocks! That worked beautifully!

I have a timer that re-runs an API call every so many minutes (set by the user), and it runs great as long as I'm on that Card when it runs. But if I've moved to another card, it still tries to run, and fails because it can't find controls referenced in the function I run for the API Call. I see a f...

Okay,

Added content type for application/json and plain/text, which is what I'm passing (along with my Authorization) in postman where it works.

Checked my JSON, and it's valid.

Now, I get 403 Forbidden...so a new thing to figure out. Getting closer. Thanks all.

OK that's another issue. Before POST, you should perhaps create a HTTP header. Something like : put "Accept: application/json, text/javascript, */*; q=0.01"&cr&"Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8" into tHeader set the httpheaders to tHeader POST xxx to url tUrl answer the result put it i...

I thought the same thing, but it just put :check_mark: and in the space versus showing the character. I'll look up unicode and see if I can tell what I may have done wrong.

Thank you again.

Thanks, I looked at the dictionary and the various JSON built in functions. I guess, my question is, how can I create JSON without an array. Not everything I have starts as an Array. It's just something I'm coding in, and using a couple of user entered variable to fill in the blanks essentially. The...

Ok, I'll give that a shot. Was hoping I had missed a JSONToString() function somewhere....but this should at least shorten it a bit.

Thanks.

I have a POST i want to make through libUrl on LiveCode community edition. I have a bunch of JSON I have to send as the <data> portion of the POST. The JSON of course must use double quotes, and apparently LiveCode also doesn't like single quotes for a string... I found that you can replace a litera...

Ok, thank you.

I wonder if I can add a checkmark icon or something in the tree view some how.

Hello, I have a card with a tree view on it that I'm successfully filling with the data I want pulled from an API - Yay! Now, I want to use a property of "online" from the data I pull, to set the text of that associated line in the tree view to either bold, or a different color, or something to make...

Hi Klaus,

And thank you, yes, I think the syntax on your second option is what I'm looking for. Sorry, just syntax is throwing me. I appreciate it.

Good day all, I have data returned from a web-service that I use JSONtoArray() to convert to an array. I can read out the elements I want, and all is good. I'll then use data from that array to call another API endpoint to request more data based on that value. I want to use a tree view to fold the ...

...Drop the tsNet syntax, look at POST and GET in the Dictionary (which are implemented in the LC engine in all editions), and let us know if you run into any snags. For others down the road who may be similarly misled by incomplete tutorials discussing the edition-specific tsNet, I've submitted an...

Maybe I found my answer. The documentation in lessons doesn't specify which versions anything works on, so you just get to try it, fail with some obscure error, and not know why. I'm only guessing by a blog post from when tsNet was added, but it appears it's not available in community. Thus it won't...
