Don't blame the tool when the architecture fails.

Blame?

I'm aware there is nothing more to say about this.

I really appreciate your time and knowledge. But let's keep our minds open, speak frankly and do not confuse things.

Hi Jan,

The only thing we can try and give you at that point is a workaround, and in my case, also an explanation of why I wouldn't conect to the database directly in the first place .

I think these thoughts and advice should be posted as a warning to other users like me, in a visible place. I ...

Hi Jan,

Thanks a lot for your ideas on security.

My problem at this stage is not security, is as mentioned that the connection gets lost, the program response is real clumsy. In other words; it is useless.

Now I do not see what else to do, I'm using the database tools provided in Runtime ...

Hi Mark,

Do not take this personally.

My feeling is that a users forum is a superb place to learn, exchange experiences, feedback, help others but there is room for complains too.

If RR team does not visit this forum is because they do not want to do it. My guess is that it is very important to ...

Hi,

The only thing I've been patiently waiting for is the ability to produce Linux apps again

I bought the Christmas offer (2.8.1) and do not remember be warned that this version did not produce Linux executables.

As far as I remember RR website always states something like: "code once deploy ...

Hi,

Mark:

For a start, try setting the timeout to 1200 instead of 600.

After setting the timeout, get it back from the server again. What do you get?

Get it back?, good point, until now I just found how to get this variable value is using the shell (from MySQL docs). I have no shell access in ...

Hi Jan,

Both versions are the same; one stored in a webserver and one the other my LAN.

The SET command:

- In my LAN works Ok, and the program works Ok if I do NOT use it too

- In the webserver; I have to use it if I want to call any database command. If I do not send it to the webserver then ...

Hi,

I did a MySQL database front end with RevStudio 2.8.1. It is a simplistic project to retrieve/edit/save/delete database records.

I am connecting to the database manually using revOpenDataBase() and all seems to work nice.

I can navigate in my database records, but if I try to save a edited ...

Hi Tom,

The thing is if you return myHTML from the JS script then you can put that in a variable in RR. You would need access to the JS script to add a return line.

Yes, we have access to the JS script. My idea is to use a open source editor like the ones mentioned.

I am not a RR expert, but I ...

Hi Mark,

In what way isn't a Rev field WYSIWYG? Or more precisely, how are the two JS-based editors more WYSIWYG than a Rev field?

This is what I am looking for:

I see a lot of differences between this and a ...

Hi Mark,

I have no idea how to copy the html source text from a field to a Transcript variable

It is not a field, is a javascript variable. But Ok, thanks a lot for your time.

but do you know that we have a complete HTML editor in Rev?

Oops!, sorry but I do not consider that a editor. None ...

Hi Mark,

What I am trying to do is to incorporate a javascript wysiwyg html editor in a RR project.

The ones I am testing (FCKEditor and TinyMCE) both returns the contents of the textarea (the html edited by the user) using a javascript funtions that returns a string. Something like:

var myHTML ...

Hi,

Is it possible to assign the result of a JavaScript function to a RunRev variable?

I want to interact with my webpage, it loads javascript functions and would like to get some of those results in my RR application.

Ideas?

Thanks for your time.

Hi Mark,



Silly me... Ok, this is part of the learning process.

Thanks a lot for your time and help.

Hi Mark,

I really appreciate your tests and feedback.


I am bit confused as to why you want this. Why can't you simply select a field and edit its database properties? You don't need to be in group editing mode for that.


Ok, you are right. If I select the field from the Application Browser ...
