Web Server - Ask For Help / LIne Graph Gets bigger every time refreshed
« on: March 10, 2018, 12:45:47 AM »
I have an application with 7 graphs (Insight Graphing). The first 6 work perfectly with data input from static files. In all of these cases I specify the Y-axis min and max values (auto scale OFF).
The 7th is loaded from a file which contains data based on 'Owner' and Owner can be changed via a drop-down on the Window that encloses the graph. When a new Owner is chosen and a Button ('Refresh Data') is pushed the Server Side code deletes all of the records in the file and reloads with those from the new Owner.
On the Button, the Graph Procedure is set to Refresh. When the graph first displays it is ok. When it is subsequently displayed with new Owner data it gets bigger, and then bigger until it overflows the screen
The Y axis Min is set to 0 and Max is set to 60. None of the Y value data points exceed 46.
Any idea about what can be wrong?
Thanks
Keith

So what you are saying is that you can get all of the data out of the current DB into some text format - say comma delimited but that it then has to be massaged so that it can be successfully loaded into your new tables.
I'd be happy to have a crack at that. I would need the layouts and the rules.

I had a quick look at the SMF manual especially Admin and there didn't seem to be a facility for dumping data out of the database. My experience with these sort of repositories is that the 'owners' closely guard the data :-)
But if there is no simple way of getting the various bits of data then here are some observations and a suggestion:
The data could be loaded (Who, When What) via the tried and tested "Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V"
Why not start a new NetTalk Central which has the data load manually for the past 14 months and gradually phase out the usage of the SMF engine.
There are still a lot of other things but one could get quite quick at copying data - I could do it.
Is this worth a try.

But if there is no simple way of getting the various bits of data then here are some observations and a suggestion:
- In the 'Web Sever - Ask for Help' there are only a total of 2912 topics
- Say there are and average of 4 posts per topic = 11,648 posts
- There are only three items to capture for each post - Who, When, What
- But there are only 1,760 posts from the beginning of 2016 to now
- This equals 5,280 items to capture to get the last year and a bit of activity from the most used section

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Load Balancing??
« on: February 20, 2017, 11:20:47 PM »
HI
"Load Balancing" usually refers to the spreading of sessions across multiple web servers. Windows provides NLB (Network Load Balancing) which performs this function but there are other hardware implementations that incorporate high availability and extended performance options.
In this environment the Clarion-NetTalk program can run on multiple servers with say, a single database server and therefore can work in a load balanced environment. You won't have to do anything special in NetTalk to take advantage of this technology.
But maybe this is not what you meant. Perhaps you meant controlling or balancing individual sessions on a web server. That is another question that would require more specific information to address.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Conditionally colouring a field
« on: February 15, 2017, 02:17:35 PM »
HI
I want to use a dropdown box to enter text into a field. Depending on the text chosen I want to then colour the field eg: Dropdown items: Horrid, Bad, Annoying, Ok Colours: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green
I understand that it is not possible to attach CSS to the field that will perform the equivalent of an If then elseif etc and I have a suggestion that a combination of JavaScript and Styles could solve the problem. A friend has written a test script - see attachment.
If this is along the right lines how could I incorporate this into the code - there is a place for JavaScript on the field (Client side tab).
Thanks

Hi Kevin
Could you give me some more info about this. I have looked at -
http://www.capesoft.com/docs/NetTalk8/NetTalkWebFunctionality.htm#NetWebService
Which Method is the one you referred to - 'Allow Insert'? and how would I add it to my program?
Thanks

Hi Edwin
You probably need to be more specific about what you mean by 'centre the browse' - what exactly do you want to 'centre'? Your screen shot looks standard with everything in the right place.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Security message after converting to C10
« on: October 22, 2015, 05:32:07 PM »
I have recently converted to C10. One of my applications triggers the security dialog box which asks whether 'you want the following program to make changes to your computer?'. This appears after every compile.
I have started from scratch with this by renaming it and moving to a new directory but to no avail. What happens on the first execution is that I get the message (above) to which I reply 'yes' and then I get the Windows Firewall message 'Windows firewall has blocked some features of this program' to which I press the 'Allow Access' button. After that I just get the 'do you want the program to make changes' message.
Has any one seen this - any ideas on what might be causing it?
The same program worked fine (no messages0 in the C9.1 environment.
Thanks

Hi Peter
Yes, re-reading Bruce's post I think you are right. This is very interesting. Capesoft should have one of those 'countdown clocks' which ticks off the seconds to whenever on Dec 4th 2015 - 'only 81 days 6 hours 22 minutes and 13 seconds until Nettalk Apps debuts'.

Nettalk Apps sounds great.
Does it mean that we will be able to use Nettalk (Apps) to develop an application for a smart phone (independent of the phone SDK), deploy that app (say using PhoneGap for the packaging), allow the phone app to do its thing, store data etc and then periodically be woken up by a server app to transfer its data?
Thanks

Web Server - Ask For Help / Receiving data from a cell phone
« on: September 01, 2015, 12:26:38 AM »
Hi
Has anyone got any tips about how to go about receiving a stream of data from a cell phone?
Situation would be that a phone app has a batch of data, say in CSV format, and is to send it to a NetTalk program which will load it into a DB.
Thanks

« on: August 24, 2015, 12:26:15 AM »
Hi
Is it actually the case that a Popup lookup can only return the Primary Key (as it says in 'Building NetTalk Applications') or has that been superseded? In the past I have set the 'Value' field to a non-PK field (like a description) and it has worked. Maybe this was serendipity - what is the rule?
Thanks

« on: August 20, 2015, 10:18:49 PM »
Hi Bruce
I think there could be a bug in NetTalk as regards placing a Lookup on a Form which is called in Insert mode with no Browse.
I was continuing development of my application and decided to place another lookup on a Form and when it didn't work I realised that it was another 'Insert Mode' form. I then placed the same Lookup on a standard Form (Browse/Form) as a further test and it worked.
This means that I have 5 Forms with Lookups that are ok and two, both on 'Insert Mode' Forms, that don't.
I would appreciate your comment on the likelihood, this may be a red herring but it looks suspicious.
Thanks
