LiveCode Forums.

We are looking for a Revolution programmer who can build a simple standalone that registers itself on Mac OS X and Windows so that a link clicked in a web page or email on the users computer will launch the standalone and pass it parameters, similar to the iTunes links in web pages that launches iTunes:

http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSt ... 8&s=143441 <http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSt ... 8&s=143441>

All we need is for the parameters to show up in a simple text field, we can take it from there.

Please reply to this posting or send a private message.

Hi,

Feel free to send me an e-mail. See profile for contact data.

Best,

Mark

Thanks Mark!

We've emailed you more details. Look forward to your response!

This came up on the use-rev list today, and the result seems surprisingly easy thanks to some pointers from Trevor:

Keep in mind that above message is spam. Don't click the link.

The post from "Sylvie808" is spam, but has no link.

The link in the original post isn't spam; I know the author. Nor was mine.

Which link should we avoid?

The link in the signature/profile, naturally.

Aye, the one that Heather has tidied up.

No. I wonder why the moderators haven't removed that post yet.

Because once someone replies to the thread, the post can't be removed, I believe. Heather has removed the spam link, but can't delete the post itself because that would (now that there are subsequent posts) break the whole thread.

Nope, messages can always be removed and nobody removed any links.

Well which spam link are you talking about then?

I admit, the spammer tried to be subtle, but I'm sure you can figure it out, as can the moderator.

Well, aye. There've been a spate of spam posts of that ilk lately. I've mentioned them to Heather and she's hit them with the spam killing stick.
I do believe that if there is a post after the "spam" post, it will be very awkward for the mods to delete that individual one. Not certain that it will "break" the thread, but I think it's hard enough to make it more desirable just to delete any links rather than the post itself. That's what I believe happened with Sylvie's post.

While studying the supposed spam post, I noticed that the text just got colored WHITE. Because when you hilite the post area, you can see the text. Just trying to share my insight.
