Re: Mac Standalone crashing on launch

Create a stack. Add a stack script: on startUp answer "Hello" end startUp The stack works fine in the dev environment. However, if you make a standalone from this stack, it will crash on launch, as described above. There must be something about the way that the answer dialog is implemented that mean...

Re: Mac Standalone crashing on launch

Thanks, Stam. I've managed to work it out using a technique that should be more widely known - thanks to my colleague Ben Rubinstein for the suggestion. Possible tip if you do get any kind of initialisation: put without a destination (which goes into the message box in the IDE) doesn’t normally prod...

Re: Adding and modifying items in the application menu

Hi. Have you worked with the "MenuBuilder" utility? It is what I use to create menus and modify existing ones. Find it in the "Tools" menu. It takes a little practice, but is intuitive, powerful and complete. Craig Yes the Menu Builder works well - thank you. It's just modifying the Application men...

Adding and modifying items in the application menu

I'm building an app and would like to add a ’Check for Updates…” item to the application menu. Can’t see how to do it. The About menu item and corresponding code seems to get put in the Help menu script. I tried putting ’Check for Updates…” there, but no joy. There doesn’t seem to be any documentati...

Using Digital Ocean Spaces and/or AWS S3 in Livecode

I would like to use this online storage service (or something similar) for a project but the authentication protocol of the API relies on SHA256 and HMAC encodings. What is needed is described in pseudo-code below. I...

A sample stack would be very handy.
Details of where to find out about AirTable would be handy.
Google 'AirTable API'

Re: Connecting AirTable and LiveCode

I've managed to find a way to read data.

Using my Personal Access Token - you put it in the httpHeaders and it all works.

So far so good.

What I want to do now is to find a way to update and add data to AirTable.

Using 'put' and 'push' doesn't seem to work.

Connecting AirTable and LiveCode

I'm a long-term LiveCode (and HyperCard) programmer. Recently I have been experiencing the joys of AirTable - it really is very good. Now I would like to connect the two so I can read and write AirTable data via LiveCode. I'm probably not the only person who would find this useful. Is it possible? I...
