Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Hiding a Tab

Ahh, that is the secret. That did it.
Many thanks - this allows me to modify my Update forms for administrative tabs which appear with Admin level security.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Hiding a Tab
« on: November 20, 2023, 07:01:28 AM »
Hi All. Trying to hide a tab when a form opens depending on the security level of the user ( user vs administrator - user < 900, admin > 900).
On the Form, the FIELDS tab shows the tab name, EQUATE and HIDE IF columns. (Implies that I can set a condition to HIDE the tab).
However, FORM TAB has the "Tab Hide IF: greyed out.
What needs to be set to be able to use the HIDE IF condition?
Thanks,
Ron

Hi Bruce,
No worries. It would be nice to have but it is not essential that you do that for me. I just could not find it on the site and was poking around. I will wait until you get it into the EXAMPLES.
Thanks,

Web Server - Ask For Help / Mobile App example from CIDC 2023
« on: November 18, 2023, 01:32:14 PM »
HI Bruce,
Did you include the code from your Mobile App that you built for Net Talk Training on site at CIDC 2023. I can't find it in downloads or materials.
Is it included in NT14 somewhere?
#2 - I specifically am trying to get a handle in IDB database record that goes on the mobile device. Trying to see example of the fields it uses and additional fields that I might want to add.
Thanks,
Ron

Web Server - Ask For Help / Near Field Communication - Iphone and Android
« on: November 15, 2023, 01:40:37 AM »
Hi All,
Does Nettalk and PWA provide access to Near Field Communication? I am trying to ascertain that the person at the kiosk location is actually the person who needs to be there - e.g. to pick up a key. One way is to have the users phone read an NFC tag in the kiosk and report the results. Is this something Net Talk can handle? Other ways to verify the correct person at kiosk just using their cell phone - no screen on kiosk - just camera, maybe Near Field to read and maybe a numeric keypad?
Any thoughts?
TIA,
Ron Jolda

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: How to use WireShark to inspect NetTalk Traffic (Headers, Packet & Returns)
« on: October 27, 2023, 02:24:03 AM »
Hi,
I used WireShark many years ago exactly for what you are talking about. As I recall, there wireshark had all the ports represented. I had to select the right conversation( port) for it to monitor. Then there were several display modes to select after getting your correct port and clearing the screen. Then you could watch YOUR data go by.
I don't even have it installed any more so this info is from what I can recall.
Good luck,
ROn

« on: October 24, 2023, 02:54:11 AM »
Bruce,
Thanks. I wondered if a WebClient was the tool to use. Now that I know that, I can move forward and not look back. Since the communication with the Serial port is on the remote machine, I can communicate with it directly through a windows program. That solves the serial issue. BTW, my son worked for Volkswagon Advanced Research in California about 6 years ago. They ran their automobile communications through a browser and used browser through serial port for communication with all the devices in the car. He said that it worked very well until the port number changed! May play with it at some time.
Thanks,
Ron

Hi All,
Running NT 14.08 and Clarion 11.0.136. I need to communicate to and from a NetTalk Server and a remote computer running windows ( actually a type of kiosk). I am going to run a clarion exe on the remote machine. Instead of trying to tie the remote computers to the tables on the Web Server I am looking at an alternative way of sharing very small amounts of data. e.g. When a user is verified on the NT server, I want to let the remote computer ( and there will be several remote computers so I need to address a specific remote computer ) have some limited data fields. Also, when the end user activates the remote computer - actually a kiosk type setup - I need to send the data to the NT server for verification and depending on verification by the NT server, send some limited data back to the remote computer (kiosk) and then the remote computer can perform some duties. I am not sure if this is a net simple communications need or a set of APIs. I am sure folks have done this and can offer some suggestions. The scenario is that the end user can verify themselves with a QR code on their mobile phone which is connected to the NT server OR they can use a RFID on the remote computer( kiosk) to verify locally. I need to share information between these two. Any insights will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ron

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Can Net Talk APP control a local serial port.
« on: October 23, 2023, 02:20:08 AM »
Jane and Bruce,
Many thanks. The Browser is supposed to be in its own sandbox so tat rules out serial port. However, as you pointed out Bruce, there is an API development effort for Serial port. I will watch that but wait to try to implement that. Will follow some of Jane's suggestions for now.
Thank you,
Ron

Clarion 11.0.1136
Hi,
I want to be able to send and receive characters from/to a local serial port. I guess it would be like reading a serial barcode reader.
1. Is it doable?
2. What are the steps and the tricks.
Many thanks,
Ron

Hi
Using NT 14.07 Clarion 11.0.136
When taking a photo with a mobile phone - I remember Bruce showing I think a button which allowed the end user to be able to switch between Front and Back camera depending on what they wanted to take a photo of.
I tried setting up a Button but that did not work.
Anyone can supply details on how to allow the end user to change the camera on their mobile phone that they are wanting to use?
Thanks,
Ron

HI Jeff,
Last Pass has been making changes - some good, some not so good.
The real answer is to have the end user TURN OFF AUTOFILL for YOUR application. When they get to login for your application, they will see the Last Pass button and they can press it and it will Auto Fill the fields one time.
If you want to keep from having the folks autofill and login, put a CAPTCHA on your login. Then see how your folks like it!

« on: October 19, 2023, 02:18:38 AM »
Hi,
Do PWA's which are CONNECTED all the time run only the Javascript code on the phone or can they run the clarion code on the website? Or do they do a mix of both? Trying to get a handle on this as I am making a PWA which will be connected all the time.
TIA,
Ron Jolda
