Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: automatic browse refresh
« on: August 13, 2013, 10:02:57 AM »
On the advanced tab - is the timer setting actually 1000th seconds as shown or is that 100th seconds?
What to select for the refresh drop list if I want the browse to refresh: first, current or last?

Web Server - Ask For Help / automatic browse refresh
« on: August 13, 2013, 04:51:25 AM »
NT v7.18
I have the need to automatically refresh a browse every so often, say every 5 minutes. This is a browse that shows a schedule that is very fluid and changes often. The user may have this particular browse displayed all day long. I know I can do this with a javascript timer function but is there an easier way to force the browser to automatically reload the browse?

Bruce,
I found out by trial and error that the gradient part of the css was causing the problem. I was only testing in Chrome so did not see it working in other browsers. Too bad I am recommending to my users to use Chrome for the web app. Hopefully it is something you can fix for Chrome.
Also, thanks for the post in the C8 newsgroup regarding converting a Clarion LONG to a web color. I should have asked here first.

Bruce,
Tried to use HotDates example 12 as an example but the rows in the browse are only colored gray regardless of the color that I set - your example does the same thing - no colors, only gray.

« on: August 09, 2013, 10:54:18 AM »
Bruce,
Turns out I was using outdated script files in the script folder.
I stripped everything out of the form that was causing the problem except the signature control - still had problem. So I knew it was not my code. So I ask myself, why does the example (75) not exhibit the same problem? I figured it had to be one or more script files. So I copied the script files from the example folder and put them in my app web folder - and the problem was fixed.
So I looked at the CopyAll.bat and GZipAll.bat in my app web folder - they were both date stamped with a create date of 05/28/2013 - compared to the date stamp of 08/03/2013 in the example folder.
I foolishly was installing NetTalk upgrades but neglecting to also copy the two .bat files to my web app folder. I will not make that mistake again.
Thanks for your time.

Bruce,
In addition to the error message shown in my last post, here is the line that the error is found:
$("#Local__QCSignature").ntsignature({clearButton:1,clearIcon:"ui-icon-arrowrefresh-1-w",jQueryButton:1,clearText:"Clear",width:200,height:60,lineWidth:0});
The above is line 660 as reported by Firebug.

Bruce,
Okay - have used Firebug.
Returns this error:
TypeError: $(...).ntsignature is not a function
http://127.0.0.1:881/job_record_qc_add_form?&PressedButton=change_btn
Line 660
I have a memory form with a button that calls another memory form - the 2nd memory form works fine _until_ I add a signature control. When the signature control is added the form locks up and all styles are removed.
I don't know much about Firebug but I was able to find the error message.
Hope this helps.

Bruce,
So I experience the same problem, where the form locks up, with a signature control on the form but there is no signature - so there could be no part of the signature that flowed outside of the control. What could cause that?

How would you define a color in css that is set by the user - i.e. a Clarion long? A have a browse in the Win32 app where the user can define the colors for each line in the browse depending on a condition. The colors are saved in program setup as a Long.
So how to turn a Long into an equivalent color in a css file?

Attached is the modified example (75) that displays the problem.
I have added a new mailbox record where the name is "D" - just the letter D. When you click edit on this record the MailboxesFormControl will lockup - save and cancel buttons loose their style and have no effect - the form is locked up.
The problem happens _every_ time I access the "D" record - the other records in Mail Boxes appear to work fine. I have changed the theme to Redmond but the problem happened with the example original theme also.
This modified example displays the same exact problem as my own app - when I add a signature control.

I have a memory form that works fine until I add a signature control - then the form locks up when displayed. It looks like the css has been partially removed, or something similar as the save and cancel buttons loose their jquery look and have no affect - the window is locked.
I can create a similar result by modifying example 75 but it is not consistent - I am not sure what I am doing to cause the problem to appear.
Form is fine without signature, locks up with signature.

Web Server - Ask For Help / signature capture questions
« on: August 06, 2013, 04:49:38 AM »
I am planning on adding signature capture to my web app and have some questions.
1. The NetTalk sample app (example 75) stores the signature in a 64k memo field and also creates a .bmp file of the image. In the real world, why create a .bmp at all and not just store as a string - then create the image file when needed?
2. when storing the signature as a string - what is rule of thumb for string size, if any? Is a 64k memo field overkill or necessary?
3. I am concerned about storing image files as a blob in a .tps file - the file size limits of 2g could be reached quickly in some applications.
4. what about storing each image file as a separate file? I do this in other areas but am concerned with the legal integrity of a signature. Does anyone have any guidelines to make a stored signature image file secure and legal? Can the signature be stored separately or does it need to be embedded in the document that it applies to?
Thanks,
Chuck

The problem was caused by my own code embeded in the WebServer procedure StartNewThread procedure
! [Priority 3000]
IF Sub(Upper(p_RequestData.DataString[1 : p_RequestData.DataStringLen]),1,18) <> 'POST/_CHECKSTATUS?' |
And Sub(Upper(p_RequestData.DataString[1 : p_RequestData.DataStringLen]),1,18) <> 'GET /_CHECKSTATUS?'
Global:WebLastActivity = p_RequestData.DataString[1 : p_RequestData.DataStringLen]
End
self._PerfStartThread()
I was trying to set a global variable that could be ready by my service manager app. Shot myself in the foot. Sorry for the false alarm.
