LiveCode Forums.

Thanks (that was an answer to a list question of mine . . . ) but is there any documentation from runrev hiding somewhere actually documenting LiveCode Server, and how to program for it/set it up/etc. I find lots & lots of references to it, but the most documentation I can find is the handful of sho...

Is there some kind of guide, documentation, or lesson set for putting my stacks on the web?

I'm looking, and I can't find anything.

And are web & server the same thing?

It appears that the eps really hasn't been touched by runrev since metacard, which was unix (not linux) only. It's just never been removed . . .

It requires Display Postscript, something which I really had't heard since the NeXT days . . .

Livecode bombs instantly with signal 11 when I do that from either the message box, or a button triggering a card script!

As that stack is currently set up, anything you do from a substack with a script seems to see everything--but if you type the identical command into the message box, you get a different result. I first encountered this with the script in a substack that isn't in this example. RIght now, I have it wo...

I've run into a roadblock here, which could kill my project completely. Images, even 300dpi png, are getting truncated to 72dpi (screen density) before being sent to the printer or pdf. Is there *any* way to do this within livecode? I suppose this could be done by exporting without them, and then us...

I'm trying to get an eps into a card. I used File->import control. I then have to set to "all file types" as neither all images nor unix files causes eps to show. I get the error An error occurred when trying to import the image file: /home/hawk/petition.1.eps 263,2165,1/home/hawk/petition.1.eps 253...

Hi hawk, Well, not sure what I'm doing different than you but everything looks fine to me. I had to change tDatabasePath to be valid on my computer but after that the outwin field lists both tables each time you put something in to it. I looked at both databases in another program and they both had...

This.

These are the two main tables for a client file. I can't even see one long enough to work with the file!

thanks

Hi, I'd love to take a look at this but after decompressing either file you attached, I get a corrupted stack file message from Livecode. I've put the raw stack at: dochawk.org/test.120604b.rev I'm on a Mac - maybe those formats aren't compatible with OS X? I hope not; I'm using lion on an iMac :) ...

OK, I've whittled the stack down to almost nothing , and can still reproduce the behavior. After the stack opens, click the "open cook" button in the t_file_control stack, and it begins single stepping. Step into databaseConnect, and step over all the "ck" commands, which toss to the output window (...

try using regexps--pretend and append a "\ *" to the match string to match"0 or more" leading and trailing spaces.

Or and similarly for the end of the string..

I have a put "/Users/hawk/dhbk/bk_clients/" into tDatabasePath in openStack for the main stack, and then, again in that stack, on databaseConnect theDB ## Open a connection to the database ## If the database does not already exist it will be created --internal SQLite assumed for the moment; add othe...

This behavior is coming and going, and I've seen it in other contexts, too. Reducing for the sake of complexity . . . Substack "Control" sends "Main" stack a message to open the db. Main opens the db, and uses a routine in its own stack script to setTheDb to the returned access control, storing this...

due to the lack of response to the original question, I'm assuming the answe is that it's impossible to put a .eps or PDF in the background . . . So I'll go to a "second best" version--is there a way to get a png or other image to print at better than 72 dpi? 'm creating an application that fills ou...
