Question about LiveCode Server

Post by DevBoyLars » Thu Feb 28, 2013 12:30 am

Hi there,
is LiveCode-Server an extension to a webserver, to build an online App?

Is it possible to build an online App like something like a T-Shirt-Creator with PDF-Export in LiveCode?

Yes. It's like PHP. You can write scripts that will be executed by your web server.

As to create dynamically with LiveCode Server PDF files, yes it's possible as well, with the Quartam PDF library (I just tried it, it's interesting).

Now, if you look for a e-shop web, "all in one", you have plenty of possibilities. No need to reinvent the wheel with LiveCode Server.

Not sure its included in lc server, but if it is, you can open for printing to a pdf file natively. May have to try this and see if it works!
