LiveCode Forums

Although I have since switched to using Unity rather than KDE, I had a functioning solution, which was when working with LC to have a separate desktop for working with Livecode and only Livecode. In fact, I seem to recall that KDE allows you to name your desktops so I had development, office, etc.

I had a quick look and noticed that this has not been updated since 2016. Wordpress went through some pretty major updates last year. I would be hesitant to invest much time or effort into anything that has not kept pace with those changes. Was there something specific you were trying to do? There a...

you could just write a bash script and then call it from Livecode like: put shell("./functions/yourscript) into tScript if you have variables you need to pass, you just send them to your bash script: put shell("./scripts/yourscript var1 var2") into tScript and then your bash script can read those: #...

try this: --set the defaultFolder to stack location set the itemDelimiter to "/" get the effective fileName of this stack #you could put that into a global to pass to your other stack put item 1 to -2 of it into gDefaultFolder #or use it to set your defaultFolder like so set the defaultFolder to gDe...

@FourthWorld you are right! I just wanted to point it out as an option.

I used to use DreamHost quite a bit, but once I discovered how to use a VPS it dramatically changed how I set up projects. I wish someone had mentioned the possibility to me earlier in my life.

How married are you to Dreamhost? It is probably possible to get LC working, but using a VPS from somewhere like DigitalOcean or Linode is a little better for doing things like this, although initial setup is a little more complicated since you have to install from scratch. However, once you have it...

In my original setup, I had an old Linksys WRT54g router with a couple of large antennas. You can find those routers at thrift-stores for a few dollars and install dd-wrt on them. The antennas un-screw and can be replaced with larger, more powerful antennas. That router can be ran on 12v (solar pane...

I have a project I am working on that involves an OrangePi set up out in a field (literally out in a field) and I use one of these things: https://hologram.io/nova/ plugged into the Pi to send small chunks of data to a server where I have Livecode Server running...which collects that data and does a...

I wanted to post and let you know I am still working on a basic framework to post for people to use as a starting point. The topic comes up quite often, so I wanted to have a good working example of interacting with Livecode, Livecode Server, and a Database. It will probably take me another week to ...

Eventually you will probably want to use a framework like Revigniter, but it is my opinion that you would progress much faster in this if you start by writing your own structure or copying a basic structure and getting the hang of how website applications work. I have a basic structure that I use as...

It sounds like you just described a CMS or web-framework. For a Framework, Revigniter looks promising, but I have not used it yet: https://revigniter.com/ I do not think there is a Livecode CMS at the time, but I seem to remember someone writing some Livecode/Wordpress API. I think this is it: https...

I second everything that @FourthWorld just mentioned and asked in his reply. I have used something very close to what you described on various database projects. The Livecode/MySQL server has all of my scripts and such, and the app just sends a specific request to the server and gets a reply with th...

No need to say goodbye. It is okay to take a break and explore other options, but you might find that Livecode fits some projects better than others. I usually just write in PHP and use existing CMS such as Wordpress to fit most of my projects, but Livecode has unique tools and features that work we...

Can you elaborate a little more on what the app will do.
Do you want a website where people can login and access a database? Or do you want an app that gets its data from a remote server?

Just a thought: It would not be too complicated to create (with some help) a bash script that runs on your pi that would ssh into your webserver and write all the data to a file there. Your webserver could then do the rest with that file. The script on the pi could run on a schedule of however frequ...
