Web Server - Ask For Help / Advice please - one server handling: Local C8 apps AND Intranet AND Internet
« on: August 09, 2013, 02:04:19 AM »
Your suggestions on the practicalities and wisdom of this proposal will be welcomed.
Using:
- Clarion 8 for local apps
- the latest NetTalk Webserver e.g. 7.18 producing the web interface for the Intranet AND the Internet
For a small business with a low transaction volume, the server:
- hosts all Clarion TPS data
- is connected to the in-house network
- AND runs the NetTalk Webserver
- AND is connected to the internet.
In-house:
- Some users run Clarion 8 apps over the intranet.
- Some users on the intranet access the data using the NetTalk web pages
From outside:
- Two users might use Remote Desktop to run Clarion8 apps in or out of business hours.
- Travelling sale staff will use NetTalk web pages over the internet for queries and ordering
- Internet sales to the general public AND account customers will use NetTalk web pages
- phone sales as usual
Both:
- we can expect desktop computers, laptops, tablets and PDAs to be used by both staff and customers
- in-house we could expect WiFi to be used for some devices
- from outside we could expect internet users coming in over landlines or the phone system.
Next:
- some travelling sales staff wonder about using their PDAs barcode scanning abilities to speed up order entry when
they are on-site
Other:
- as usual, there will be interfacing with MSOffice and PDFs and Email, both from in-house and outside.
Thanks in advance for your comments.

Web Server - Ask For Help / web33 example - drop - IE10 Error: ieframe.dll
« on: April 06, 2013, 12:53:34 AM »
res://ieframe.dll/acr_error.htm#,http://127.0.0.1:88/FilterAlias
W8 C8 NetTalk7.07 and IE10 all updates installed.
Trying to use Drop method in my app gives error as shown at top.
ditto when trying to run web33 example.
Testing:
Running the web33 example after compiling as-is.
clicking on menu option: Aliases
Then clicking on the Mail box Drop produces the error.
Clicking on the drop twice produces no result usually and the third click may produce the error or the drop down as expected.
Holding down the left mouse button a little longer almost guarantees the error coming up sooner.
All thoughts appreciated.
Thanks.

Web Server - Ask For Help / NT7: Browse to Form and then to IndexPage
« on: December 19, 2012, 10:42:06 PM »
Problem 1:
I have a filtered Browse, with a Change button.
Select the Change button and on the form, I alter a field and Save.
The altered record will/should now be filtered out of the Browse.
I can't seem to achieve that as the Browse does not automatically refresh and obey filter conditions, so:
Problem 2:
Now I am trying to go directly from the form - not back to the Browse - but to the IndexPage.
In the Form, I have tried putting 'IndexPage' in the 'URL on Save' and in 'URL on Cancel' but am not achieving that action.
I have also tried the technique from Don Ridley on June 23rd for 'Conditional URL on Save'.
In case it was useful, I have also been looking at the embeds at 'User did something in Browser/User did EIP' but cannot see how to use embeds here.
All advice appreciated.
Thanks.

Web Server - Ask For Help / NT 6 to NT 7 Browse-Form-Field Lookup button
« on: December 18, 2012, 06:04:54 AM »
I have a Browse and its Form.
On the Form is a field where I force the user to hit the Select button.
Then a pop-up Browse appears.
On this pop-up browse, there is a Select button '?', and a Locator where I have made the locator action 'Field contains ...'
With NetTalk 6.51, I also had checked 'Table blank until Locator entered.'
This worked.
That Locator field does not show, now, with NT7.
In testing, I have unchecked 'Table blank until Locator entered.'.
Then rows of data appear.
But - the locator field does not appear until I click on one of the column headers.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Web Server - Ask For Help / NetTalk 6.51 - WebServer Form - embeds to enable or disable field
« on: December 12, 2012, 12:46:57 AM »
Where and what do I use in embeds to enable and disable and to hide and unhide fields as a user does data entry, depending on what the user enters in selected fields?
And .. if I have missed seeing these techniques in examples or elsewhere, I would appreciate being directed so I can see the syntax and see it in use.
Thanks.

Web Server - Ask For Help / NetTalk 6.51 - WebServer Browse-Form - Force Browse Refresh
« on: December 11, 2012, 01:11:45 AM »
How - and where - do you insert code to force a refresh of the Browse which has a filter, as you come back from a Form where you have updated a field and now the record no longer fits the filter conditions?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Web Server - Share Knowledge / NetTalk 6.51 - WebServer Browse-Form - jQuery - disable-enable Save buttons
« on: December 10, 2012, 02:35:09 AM »
I would appreciate your advice or pointing me to something I can read to help myself.
In my WebServer program, I have the usual Browse-Form combination.
The form is set as "Allow Updates", and has only a Save button.
If a certain field is not empty, I want to disable the Save button
I have added another button which is visible when this other field needs to be filled.
When hit, code on that button validates an entry in that field.
Then, I want the Save button enabled.
I am guessing I have to use jQuery instructions to do this.
I have gone through the manual.
I have gone through the source - the *.CLW for the form.
I cannot see how the Save button is available for manipulation.
As well, I do not know how to identify/name the Save button in my embeds.
(In contrast to Clarion 6-7-8, where I might use something like: disable(?Save)
I have also explored jQuery.com and the forums and looked at examples to disable buttons.
I do not comprehend how to apply SaveButton.prop() or SaveButton.attr()
In the jQuery forum I notice they are using .attr(), and there was a reference to using .prop() if using jQuery 1.62.
From the local library, I have borrowed and scanned the book "jQuery in Action" but could not see what might be useful.
I have tried things like:
p_web.site.SaveButton{prop:disabled}= true
$('#SaveButton').prop('disabled', true);
$("#SaveButton").attr("disabled", "disabled");
Net:Web:SaveButton{PROP:HIDE} = true
Perhaps I should be using a NetWebPage instead of a NetWebForm.
Or perhaps I should not try using a Save button at all, but add another button to control data entry to certain fields, and then to do a SaveAll and CloseWindow.
I would still need to be able to hide/unhide and enable/disable buttons by using code inserted at field validations.
What commands would I need to do that?
What do you think?
Thanks.
