Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Problem with totalling ii browse

OK thanks. I wasn't sure if it was a bug as this is different behaviour to totalling on a standard browse.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Problem with totalling ii browse

« on: June 14, 2012, 05:59:26 AM »

I am using Nettalk 5.32 and have ticked the box to total (count) a field in the browse. The browse is "Page Loaded" and the counter only displays the total number of records displayed rather than the total number. Since there are many records and the browse displays 15 records, the counter always shows 15.

What can I do to display the total number of matching records in the browse?

Thanks

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Form Entry Field Validation

« on: June 14, 2012, 02:36:09 AM »

Ok thanks for that - I can now see what the "Required" code is doing and can create my own code embedded after that to do my own validation:

e.g.
IF LEN(CLIP(USE:Password)) <6
  loc:Invalid = 'USE:Password'
  USE:Password:IsInvalid = true
  loc:alert = 'Password must be at least 6 characters long'
.

I have a password entry field (USE:Password) on a form and need to enforce that it is a minimum of 6 characters long and with at least 1 number and one letter. Can anyone suggest what code and where to embed in order to enforce and pop up a message and not allow saving if criteria not met?

Thanks

Thanks for the advice - that worked!

I also had trouble getting to the right place in Nettalk Central, but have bookmarked a URL that takes me to the top of the "Ask for Help" section as follows: http://www.nettalkcentral.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=36&board=2.0

Web Server - Ask For Help / Form field conditional on another

« on: June 08, 2012, 12:19:20 AM »

I have a web form with a checkbox field (CAL:Active).

I have another ield (CAL:Status) which is a droplist.

IF CAL:Active is True
  I need to set the value of CAL:Status
  Unhide the dropbox
ELSE
  I need to set another value of CAL:Status
  Hide the dropbox 

Can someone help me re what code to embed where so that ticking and unticking the checkbox field has an immediate effect re setting and hiding/unhiding the droplist?

Many thanks.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Help with filter syntax

« on: June 05, 2012, 01:53:07 AM »

Thanks Bruce, I will give that a try. Are you saying that you cannot use OR in the expression but must use CHOOSE instead?

What if you wanted more than two ORs, eg. expression1 OR expression2 OR expression3 ?

Thanks

Web Server - Ask For Help / Help with filter syntax

« on: June 05, 2012, 12:39:12 AM »

I have a drop list on a form which has the following filter which works fine:

'A_USE:Active = ' & True & ' AND A_USE:Administrator <> ' & 2

I  need to add to the filter so that to pass, A_USE:Administrator must not be equal to 2 (as before) and either A_USE:Active is True OR the form is being "changed", but I cannot find how to test for the form being changed or syntax as to how to insert the test into the filter expression?

Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Email a PDF Report

« on: May 31, 2012, 04:06:37 AM »

Thanks Bruce, I already have a report procedure (PDF using PDF Tools) that is displayed in the browser when called. What I want to do is be able to call this same report but optionally specify that it is to be saved with a filename and location and then use that file to email as an attachment. Unfortunately, I cannot see how to (conditionally or permanently) change the behaviour of the report so it is not displayed but saves to disk?

I experimented with unticking the Print Preview, but this just makes it print to the printer from the server!

Thanks

Web Server - Ask For Help / Email a PDF Report

« on: May 29, 2012, 03:40:40 AM »

I can generate a PDF report (using PDF Tools extension) and display it in browser. I can also send an email from the webserver, but what I cannot work out is how to generate a PDF without displaying it and then emailing it as an attachment?

The issues I have is how to suppress displaying the PDF report and where to find the (temporary) file in order to email it?

Thanks.

Web Server - Ask For Help / How to open WebForm directly

« on: May 24, 2012, 12:27:51 AM »

I want to open a Webform procedure (UpdateUser) directly (not via a browse). If there is a unique key USE:ById, keyed on USE:Id, how would I call the UpdateUser procedure to open the form with record loaded?

Thanks

E-Mail - Share Knowledge / How to compose HTML email with WYSIWYG user interface in Nettalk

« on: July 31, 2011, 10:52:44 PM »

I asked Bruce this question and he asked me to post it here so that everyone can benefit from his answer.....

I currently use Nettalk for sending and receiving emails, but at present only send plain text emails and now want to send HTML formatted emails with embedded images. Is there anything in Nettalk that allows WYSIWYG composing of the HTML by end users and are there any examples?
