is offline possible ?

[dme69]

Hello all,
I'm still discovering revMedia. Is it possible to have a revlet working offline ?
I mean I want to make a web application with revMedia but i want to know if it is possible to use offline cache (of html5) or something else so that users can still see the application even without an internert connection ? (I'm not sure to be clear ?) ?

Thanks for your help.
Best regards.
Dominique.

Yes, if the user installed the plugin before.

If you're planning on using it on an offline computer, be sure to get the installer here first http://revweb.runrev.com/ then regularly check for updates if ever you can go online.... Once the user has the installed it, there won't be any more problems unless the revlet they're going to use has a certain minimum IDE version... (This can be seen at the Standalone Application Settings from the File menu.)

Thanks for your replies.
I want to have a web app working on online computers but also available when you are in hollidays or just when the network is not present.
The main idea is to be available on netbook and smartphones (I know it's not yet possible but maybe one day ...).

Hi dominque,

in cases like this it might be worth considdering going to studio and building a standalone application to download for your users for offline use. Though it is possible to build it for offline use, your users still would need to / want to download the site to a local machine to ensure the revlet is available once they want to use the app. A stndalone would IMHO be much more reliable in that case.

Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for your answser.
I think webApp will be very important in the future and RIA technologies will have a real big place in the IT world.
You are true standalone App will always be powerful but web app must be closed to standalone and work together.

Standalones can use Internet protocols (many http and FTP tasks can be one-liners with Rev's libUR), they can embed a browser within their windows, and they can register themselves to handle custom protocols, launchable with a link from a web page. With the plugin, browser can embed Rev. Both can talk to Rev on the server.

The possibilities for mixing up these technologies are endless...
