Ask the user for a fingerprint

Post by liveCode » Fri Mar 25, 2022 10:26 am

How can I request a fingerprint from the user?
If the fingerprint is correct then it will do the following code:

Code: Select all

answer "T"
And if it's a mistake he will make the following code:

Code: Select all

answer "F"
And if there is no fingerprint in the system at all that will do the following code:

Code: Select all

answer "No fingerprint found"
Thanks

I don't think this is possible in LC.
Neither asking the user for a fingerprint nor to get the stored fingerprint
deep in the system for comparison.

Oh, I stand corrected. :oops:

Never done before, but this is how it should work:
1. Download the complete source package
2. Open the "Extension manager" -> Menu -> Tools
3. Then click on the PLUS button and select the .lce file
4. Then the new externsion should appear in the list
If it does not, then the source code it too old, LC changed a lot in the Livecode Builder in the last 5 years.

Sorry, no idea in the moment, never worked with the Livecode builder.

If you don't get an answer, your best options are either to raise an issue on GitHub - the developer may or may not have an interest in fixing the issue.
Alternatively contact LC support - the library you link seems an unsupported external, perhaps there is (or will be) an 'official' way of doing this...
