I haven't used a Mac as a server in more than a decade, but this may help: http://lessons.livecode.com/m/4070/l/36653-how-do-i-install-livecode-server-on-os-x-with-apache Thanks Richard, that was the first thing i checked... Unfortunately the lesson is well out of date. The 'Web sharing' option doe...

Made the mistake of relying on finder-reported permissions but of course these don't include the executable bit. Permissions were set to rw- r-- r-- The lessons should maybe point out... I chmod'd the folder and its contents to 777 (temporarily anyway) and it works - thank you (for anyone else not s...

Hi all, Having scoured the lessons and any links i could find (i could find almost none other than the Lessons), i'm stumped installing LC server on Catalina.. Is there an up-to-date guide for installing LC server on for MacOS Catalina? The current lessons don't apply to the zsh shell (and yes i hav...

Thanks Keliko - i'm still getting to grips with LiveCloud (as well as being relatively new to LiveCode) and i've no doubt i'm not using this efficiently... will keep at it and maybe try the storm package if it still seems laggy. My question was really based on the demo apps that come with LiveCloud ...

Hi all, does anyone use LiveCloud database for their apps in production? It seems like a really clever way to deal with database backend for LC apps and should mesh very well with LC. I'm trying their free tier and am finding it a bit confusing -- it's difficult to draw analogies with standard SQL a...

I can see the issue you're describing - using dgText and dgData will be an issue if your text contains carriage returns and create extra lines as you describe. Of course one way to do this is to get rid of returns, but his may not suit your purposes. I don't know how others have solved this, but one...

So, I'm trying to grab "word**." or some punctuation or a space character, and not "some**word " I'm using "\S\*\*\W" as a search pattern to do this, which should work. In Livecode "\S\*\*\W" will grab "years**." ending in period . It will grab "mean**," ending in comma . But it will not grab "some...

Hi cmhjon,

haven't tested it but think the formattedWidth would do it?
i.e.

I've submitted a bug report as didn't feel other reports quite captured the issue.

please do add a comment - a 'me too' comment would do - to increase it's visibility for the LiveCode devs.

I'd be interested to see if anybody else has any ideas, but my only suggestion for now would be to have a separate text label for each button. Nah, in spirit of my laziness i went another way. Basically i'm using graphics as kind of button class, so the work is do once, copy/paste everywhere withou...

Hi all, I've encountered an issue with a graphics object i can't seem to find a way to resolve... I've used a roundedRect graphic to create a set of 'buttons' embedded in a group. All works perfectly, and i've added mouseover, pressed and selected states that were exactly what i was after. However w...

Hi Linaah - and welcome to the forums

There is a fairly lengthy discussion that covers this topic in the livecode community/off-topic channel... the most salient answer is from @FourthWorld here: https://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.p ... ng#p194246

[Which field of medicine if the device for? I recently shipped a LiveCode app for an optometry device. This is for cardiology/cardiac imaging - just an in-house app to process the outputs from 3D echocardiography quantification. It's relatively minor/niche, but I thought converting an existing app ...

Yes sorry, my bad (as usual!). I forgot to include a script only stack i wrote for some lengthy processing algorithms.
Actually all works fine, please ignore my previous comment...

Thanks SparkOut,
Having said that my app just bums out as a standalone which i presume is due to this issue. No suggestion of failure at all in IDE, as standalone almost nothing works. Will investigate further and try to get rid of as many custom properties as possible and see what happens...
