Re: Running an app on the web

Thank you, Mark, That is a helpful start for sure! I'm going to do some investigating, and I can always create a new post with more specific questions about some of those aspects you weren't sure about as they come up.

Re: Running an app on the web

Ok, $5 a month is in my budget, so I read through their website, and I'm trying to figure out exactly what a droplet is. (I think) I understand the concept of a virtual machine... but going that route, would I be able to have a Livecode app on the droplet that could be run via a url? And have text f...

Re: Running an app on the web

Thanks, I read through there and it sounds like that might work, though from reading the guide in the Livecode dictionary, I am not sure if I could read and write to a file stored on a server somewhere, as it says you can "read and write temporary files in a special virtual filesystem (which is eras...

Re: Running an app on the web

Thanks for your reply! At this point, I'm looking for something that could be done fairly easily with my basic Livecode knowledge (I have an app written, so I was hoping to find an easy way to make it available to my students and have access to the data).

Re: Running an app on the web

Thanks, I looked at the LiveCloud website and it looks like that would be a way to store the data, but could I actually “host” the app there? I’m not even sure if I’m using the right language. Can my app exist on a website, so that the student can do the activities via the web (and not through an ap...

Running an app on the web

Hi everyone, I have a relatively simple Livecode app which provides chapter reviews for students. To distribute it to students, I am wondering if a web version might be the way to go; however, I know nothing about this, and I can't seem to find a basic explanation for what I can do with livecode on ...

Re: Exporting text from LiveCode in iOS

That sounds great. I have searched through the forums trying to find some basic instructions for writing files from Livecode to Dropbox but I haven't been successful. Anyone know where to find the basics or a lesson? Or if there is a sample stack somewhere?

Re: Exporting text from LiveCode in iOS

If you set up a Dropbox for the project with a unique email and login, you could then have your LiveCode app save a text file of results (with a unique name on each device so that you don't get duplicates) and then use the code to upload that text file to Dropbox for analysis later. This is an inte...

Re: Exporting text from LiveCode in iOS

Thanks for your suggestions, everyone. I have the free version of Livecode. We use Microsoft Forms because my organization has Office 365 and it includes that (it's basically the same as Google Forms). I don't have any funding for this project (and likely won't have any in the near future due to Cov...

Re: Exporting text from LiveCode

I don't have access to a server, so I am not sure if that option would work (something like that would be great if it would). I only have access to online survey forms (Qualtrics and Microsoft Forms), so that's where I was planning to have them paste their data into a text box and then submit. I am ...

Exporting text from LiveCode in iOS

Hi everyone. I am new to iOS development, and am trying to figure out the best way to export text from Livecode. I learned on the forums that automatically copying to the clipboard is not an option in iOS, so I'm looking for a solution. Here is what I need to do: A student completes a task on their ...
