Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Embeds for image processing
« on: January 31, 2012, 08:30:40 AM »
I'm still struggling a bit with where to put the image processing. I'm using ImageEx3 and can't find an embed where it works. I'm trying to upload an image, then, before the form is finished, resize it to something like 640x480 so the size is managed in the system, rather than by the user.
So the upload is working okay, but I've got the code in the Post Update embed. It acts like it is unloading the ImageEx code before it does the thumbnail. I can get the ImageEx to do a thumbnail conversion on an existing file in the folder, at a prior embed point. So I know ImageEx is working. I can even see where the WebHandler is uploading and putting the image in the folder, but I think I'm just missing the ideal embed point between the two. Any ideas? Thanks all.

Bruce, I meant to thank you for this. It did the trick. I would never have found this on my own and you ARE a genius. Thank you.

I seem to recall uploading an example of xFiles and NTWS in the examples forum. It was a long time ago, but worth a dig.

John, This is one of those things that annoys me to no end, but I understand why it is the way it is. However, I've been re-designing my app to use the XP Task panel on the left, like the Accounts example, and visually it is more tolerable, and makes more sense than a menu across the top.
My only glitch is I have to figure out why my procs seem to break out of the XP Panel when I go to them.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Embeds for image processing
« on: January 24, 2012, 08:19:09 PM »
I'm still a full version of NTWS behind, but having jumped to v.5, can anyone offer guidance on these questions:
1. Where is the best place (both proc and embed point) to resize an uploaded image. I could use ClarionFreeImage, but I happen to be using ImageEx3 (I don't think it matters particularly). But I'm having embed point troubles.
2. In using the webhandler to rename the file to include the date and time stamp, where is the first embed point that I can grab the name assigned by the webhandler proc?
3. If a user deletes the record, where is the best embed to first grab the image file pathname from my update procedure, and delete the image files before the record itself is deleted?
Thanks for any insights.

Dave, so sorry, I didn't see your response. The program is simply one written in Clarion. I've been using the value utilities for a lot of pre-made components.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Problem compiling with new Win7 install
« on: January 08, 2012, 07:25:54 PM »
Sorry to ask for help here, but I brought my system over to Windows 7 Ultimate. It worked fine for awhile, but now when I compile, I get "Syntax Error, Unknown Function Label" on all the Clarion functions, like Clip, Open, Choose, Set, etc.
I reinstalled Clarion 6, thinking it was a path problem with Win7 or something, but the examples wouldn't compile either. I had it working briefly, after originally migrating. What might I be missing? I assume it must be a Win7 thing. Anyone run into this? Thanks so much in advance. I am so stuck.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Working with the cloud, aws, ets.
« on: December 09, 2011, 09:31:33 AM »
Has anyone tried using cloud computing with NTWS... not hosting there, but possibly writing from the NTWS on a Windows platform to a database that sits on the cloud?
I have a client with a large number of users who wants to send all the data for storage on something like amazon's cloud, and be able to read and write to it. Anyone have experience at this to point me in a direction? Thank you!

I have been doing this for some time, using the ImageEx system (v.2). Recently, I changed how I am doing it though. I'm now using a separate program to do the image processing in a queue because I found it was bogging down the system to have multiple instances of ImageEx running on a larger scale system with multiple clients hammering away with image uploads.

Web Server - Ask For Help / NTWS bogging down. How to best scale with SQL Server
« on: September 30, 2011, 10:06:23 AM »
A client is using SQL Server Express with one of my programs. He's bogging down at around 1000 of his customers. He wants some ideas on how to scale the app better.
His clients put about 300mb of data and images on the server, on average, and they are consumers who load up the system in the evenings and weekends.
I think the problem is the processor handling the requests and uploading. Does anyone have any experience using the Data Center version of SQL Server, and would using more processors help? I think it will allow up to 256 processors, assuming that's the issue (I think it is. He has tons of bandwidth and disk space).
Conceptually, I'm not sure how to test this. Would he run multiple instances of my NTWS software? I've got some other ideas for scaling by re-routing and balancing among different computers, pipes, etc., but the client is hellbent on using Data Center, and I could use some direction.
Also, if anyone has substantial experience at Data Center, please send me your resume. Thanks!

Access to the Capesoft site has been down since last night. I was reloading some things, and wanted to go with the newest versions of everything. Does anyone know what's going on, or what the mirror download site address is? Thank you!
And what's up with all the spam on this site lately?

I'm not sure, Chris. I follow the RSS feel from Capesoft, and it popped up for the first time.

« on: October 10, 2010, 08:57:12 PM »
Robert, I recommend you use the Firebug analyzer/debugger for Firefox to see where the script and graphics are located. It makes customizing the CSS and .js files easier. The modifications you are talking about are usually not in NTWS, but the javascript that the template points to.

Alberto, It looks off to me. Should there be a ? between the .txt and the Usuario?, like ".txt?Usuario".
