Running Livecode apps in a Browser: what is the status?

[sritcp]

I am confused.

Recent posts claim that web deployment is no more possible/practicable.

Yet, the RunRev website touts web deployment as one of the platforms available.

Can someone clarify this issue? If it is still on, is there a document that would guide me through the steps?

Thank you,

Hi Scri,

the browser plug-in is not being developed anymore!
So in the next version it may have disappeared completely.

Right now it only supports 32bit, that's why it does not run in modern
browsers except in 32bit comatibility mode.

Resume: Do not rely on it or use it anymore, it is a dead horse!

Hi,

As you can read here, it looks like the web plugin has completely disappeared from the next version of LiveCode.

Thank you, Klaus and Mark!

In the absence of a web-app, what would be a way to offer a pay-per-use application with LiveCode?
(These are specialized exercises; subscribers would be charged for each use of the exercise; we would maintain the results and provide them with analysis as they need).

Thanks,
Sri.

Hi Sri,

A standalone that loads stacks from the internet after checking permission of the current user online*.

*Could be a webservice (CGI) where you pass the username and password or whatever,
or maybe just a text file on your server, many options possible

Hi,

I would write something like that in PHP. If you have LiveCode server, you might use that. Otherwise, it will have to be a standalone application that connects to a server.

Kind regards,
