Web Server - Ask For Help / Make button into link
« on: January 22, 2013, 01:07:03 PM »
Hi all, I can't for the life of me remember how to make a button appear as a link. I was thinking it was p_web.site. something.
Anyone know off hand? Thank you!

Your Views and Comments / Any recommendations on a dev app for mobile devices?
« on: January 18, 2013, 10:03:26 AM »
Not that I'm leaving Clarion and Nettalk, but my need for a pure mobile apps for Android and Ios on phones and tablets is intensifying. I need to link my apps to mobile and offline use.
Are there any dev apps or environments like Clarion for mobile, or any news Ive missed about SV moving in this direction?

Adding to this snippet of code, Bruce, what would be a good way of sending users to another server if the first is busy? In other words, how could you add a URL that sends additional traffic to something like server2.mydomain.com?

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Returning fields with more than 255 characters in a Web Browse
« on: October 07, 2012, 09:59:16 AM »
Parker, first, I am a version behind, using NTWS5 still (soon to upgrade), second, I am not a template authority by any means.
But one idea that popped in my head when I read your post is to use the HotImage example. As you scroll through a list of data, more details can be added in the HotImage area of the browse (see the NTWS example). I've taken this route a few times, and it is really very easy to format all kinds of data using this technique, including data with longer strings, combinations of data, formatting, etc.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: dropbox with nettalk
« on: October 07, 2012, 09:55:10 AM »
Yes, but not inside nettalk, because I didn't see a way for a NTWS to write to a public folder. Here's what I did, and a couple of things I considered:
1.) My public folder sits in its own DMZ, outside the scope of the NTWS platform. So I didn't think there was a way to write directly to this folder from NTWS.
2.) I could have shared a NTWS folder and made it public. This is probably the easiest thing to do, depending on your circumstances. But again, I wasn't willing to give up security (or rather, I wanted to hedge my bet, and not risk data on the notion I knew everything I needed to know about sharing a public folder within the application platform.
3.) What I ended up doing was writing a helper app that runs as a service. In my case, it is a document management system. When I tagged a record to backup (or to go to dropbox rather), it spins through my docs and finds any tagged records, copies the file from the NTWS folder, and into the public folder.
The risk with my method is that it exposes the document by sitting on a public area, but you could either have the helper app zip it, or maybe use some other encryption to secure the file. Maybe the Capesoft Safereader app would be ideal for this.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Deleting images with record
« on: September 15, 2012, 09:03:31 PM »
Thank you for the suggestion Terry. I seem to always have trouble finding the right embed. I'm either too early or too late in deleting the images, but this might help.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Deleting images with record
« on: September 14, 2012, 08:01:13 AM »
I've been putting off dealing with deleting images associated with a client's record.
I delete the record, but I believe the pointer to the image is a URL type pointer, not a Windows pointer.
1. Do I need to also store the Windows path with the record, or build a routine to convert it to a useful Windows path?
2. My biggest problem is finding an embed point to do the delete before the record and its path info is gone.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Importing procedure duplicating extensions.
« on: August 25, 2012, 09:33:35 PM »
My solution was to remove the global template extensions from the new app, import the procs I needed from another app into my new one, delete the template extensions from the nes procs, then add back in the global templates again.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Importing procedure duplicating extensions.
« on: August 24, 2012, 09:20:02 PM »
I know this isnt nettalk specific, but when i import a procedure from another app, into my current app, it duplicates the nettalk and other extensions, like winevent, and doesnt allow me to delete the duplicate.
How can i get around this?

Web Server - Ask For Help / Report question about breaking to a new page within a single record
« on: May 17, 2012, 07:54:42 AM »
This is not NTWS so much, but I'm rusty on my report writing when it comes to breaking to a new page.
I'm creating a report of 10 pages (for example). It will use a single record, and give some data on each page, but will also analyze data and create graphs and charts to give a management report to the user.
I am unclear on how to put data onto a detail, then cause it to break to a new page, and create more data from the same record. There is no data to break on really.
I have thought about just stringing together multiple procedures to print the report, but it wouldn't all show up on a single PDF doc in the browser. Thanks for any guidance!

Web Server - Ask For Help / What value to store in lookup
« on: March 14, 2012, 12:31:06 AM »
I'm having some problems with a form storing a field from another file. The example is like an invoice where I select the vendor (a parent) from a select popup browse. I have asked it to display the vendor name instead of the unique sysid. Looks great, but when I go back into the form after saving the record, there is no value at all. Is there anything I should be doing in order to use this functionality? The records are related in the dictionary.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Stop menu on left from scrolling
« on: March 14, 2012, 12:22:15 AM »
Sorry, should have said I'm using task panel, and it does it even when I say to start open. The only thing much different is that my icons are 30px square, not 16px.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Stop menu on left from scrolling
« on: March 13, 2012, 12:27:09 PM »
I've got a menu on the left, as ripped off from the accounting example. The problem is I have enough menu items under one section that it causes that section to scroll. I'm not seeing where I can tell the menu main section to open completely without a scrollbar.
Example (where the V is the main section that expands and contracts), when opening the Setup section, the first three menu items appear, but on the rest, I have to use the scroll bar to get to them. I'd rather that when Setup was opened, all the sub menu items appeared:
V Home
V Setup
Location
Categories
States
Labels
Blah
Blah
Blah
V Main Stuff
V Reports

Web Server - Ask For Help / Upload File Example 26 not displaying image
« on: February 19, 2012, 08:03:08 PM »
Sorry, still finishing a project on NTWS 5. On the Upload file example, it has a HotImage procedure called from the browse. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. Mostly does not. Any ideas on why?
I duplicated it on my own app, and was having trouble, so I went back to example 26 (I think), and it isn't working reliably either. Thanks for any ideas. I just need a means of displaying my record's picture next to each line.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Embeds for image processing
« on: January 31, 2012, 07:14:42 PM »
Don, actually, the testing was on a record being updated/changed. Can you tell me which embed you make your call to the Clarion Free Image?
Kevin, I originally tried adding the thumbnail call to the WebHandler, but I don't think the image was actually in the upload until later. Though I'm not sure if WebHandler does the upload before or after the form is completed, where the file is specified. It seemed like it was too early to do any thumbnailing.
