Web Server - Ask For Help / Sorting a Browse by calculated field

« on: June 24, 2012, 05:24:02 AM »

I have a web browse which has a calculated field, using a local variable. The code to set the local variable is embedded Inside Browse Loop>1.Validate Record.

All works fine and the browse correctly displayes the local variable, EXCEPT that if one tries to sort by the contents of the local variable column by clicking the column heading, no records are displayed.

Can anyone suggest how to resolve this?

Many thanks.

Web Server - Ask For Help / XHTML / TinyMCE

« on: June 24, 2012, 02:15:57 AM »

I have a web form with a text box. I see that there is an option to tick "Allow XHTML" and select "TinyMCE", however, doing this does not appear to change things and the text box still appears plain with no text editing controls. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to install TinyMCE?

Web Server - Ask For Help / Conditional URL on Save

« on: June 23, 2012, 12:34:33 AM »

I have a Login form and currently the template had "IndexPage" as the URL on Save. I need to go to a different URL according to who has logged in. How can I set a conditional URL on save?  I tried embedding code to set LOC:Formaction just after the template sets it, but the embed point was too early to take account of the login.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Upload file and move to different folder

« on: June 17, 2012, 01:53:28 AM »

I have put a File Upload control on a web form and all works fine - it uploads the file to the \uploads folder.

I need to upload the file to a different folder but cannot see what code to embed and where to embed it. I have come across p_web.RenameFile but not sure exactly how to use it?

My Filename field is DISH:Filename and I wish to upload to the \MemberFiles folder under the main \web folder - can someone suggest the correct code and where to embed?

Many thanks

Web Server - Ask For Help / Call "Mailto" from a form

« on: June 15, 2012, 04:31:57 AM »

I have a web form (Memory not Table) that has some code embedded into "ValidateUpdate.2 End" so that the code is run when the form is accepted. The code creates a strng of email addresses separated by ; which I need to be "MAILTO" so that the default mail client on the user's machine opens with the email addresses inserted.

The email string is held in LOC:MailtoString and this is also saved into a session variable:  p_web.SSV('MailtoString',CLIP(LOC:MailtoString))

This might seem a sill question, but what/where do I embed to perform the actual MAILTO?

Thanks

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 / 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.

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?
