Re: revBrowser error
Hello,
With the LC community edition, the revbrowser.dll external is not present in the standalone (except on MacOS), even if you specify it in the standalone settings.
Someone confirm ?
Thanks.

Re: revBrowser error
That would explain why things aren't working. (even in the IDE) just confirmed, the revbrowser.dll doesn't exist. There is none for linux so thats normal, but for windows it should be there in the folder.
So, might consider downloading the trial of lc 5.5.4, and copying the revbrowser.dll to the correct places (forget where that is on windows) and see if things start working. (both the externals folder that the ide uses, and in the tools/runtime/windows/x86-32/externals folder for windows, and edit the .txt files in each location to add in the external.
(Or compile it from the open source would probably be the better answer)
Worth a shot.

Re: revBrowser error
I suspect we shouldn't post files from the commercial version of LiveCode, and unfortunately the trial does seem to have disappeared. The sourcecode is here: https://github.com/runrev/livecode/tree ... revbrowser but I have no way of building it.ernie wrote:@sturgis: can you post these files here? Cause i cant find the trial..

However I can confirm that copying "C:\Documents and Settings\<<userid>>\Application Data\RunRev\Components\LiveCode 5.5.3\Externals\revbrowser.dll" into "C:\Documents and Settings\<<userid>>\Application Data\RunRev\Components\LiveCode Community 6.0\Externals" and adding a line "Browser,revbrowser.dll" to Externals.txt fixes the problem in the IDE.

Re: revBrowser error
Yeah, not sure about posting commercial files here, and i'm not up to speed on the whole source code thing so am unable to compile them from source (plus lacking windows at the moment makes things figuring it out a bit difficult) But it should be possible to download the source for the revbrowser external and build it. The very next version (hopefully out before long) should fix it. Plus, if I recall, a complete rework of the browser functionality is in the kickstart extended goals so there may be significant changes to how things function when that occurs. (It will use webkit for both mobile and desktop according to the stretch goal)
I can't wait!

Re: revBrowser error
I suspect 6.0.1 will get regular revbrowser working. Though i'm not a c/c++ guy if I get access to a windows box maybe I will get lucky and manage to get the revbrowser.dll to compile. Also, you might write to support and ask if its ok to snag the revbrowser.dll from the commercial version and use it with community. IN fact, I think I will do so and if they say yes will get it to you that way. Of course, my next 2 days will be on overload so may not hear from me very fast.
Re: revBrowser error
I got an answer. There is licensing questions re: revbrowser for windows and they're figuring things out, so it is momentarily on hold for community until things are taken care of, so I can't send the dll i'm afraid.
Re: revBrowser error
hmmpf..
hope it will be out soon!
EDIT: yep..got the same answer from support..

Re: revBrowser error
I'm glad I'm not the only one.. I was starting to think I was crazy for a minute there, because I had changed a few things around, but I'm like "this should WORK!" But yes, I'm having the same error as everyone else, and I'm on the community edition, Windows 8 64-bit.

Re: revBrowser error
I have found that if the backdrop is turned on in the LiveCode application, the web page will not be drawn on the screen when using revBrowserOpen. Turning off the backdrop solves the problem. Hope that helps.
