Web Server - Ask For Help / PDF creation issue with service
« on: April 18, 2014, 06:11:55 AM »
I don't think this is specifically a NT issue because as they say - It works here.
I have an installation of a NetTalk server (Ver 6.51) that creates the PDF reports in landscape rather than portrait.
If I run the server from the desktop, it works perfectly. If I run it as a service, it breaks the PDFs.
Has anyone seen this? What is the PDF difference between the desktop and a service?
TIA
Chris

Web Server - Ask For Help / Can IIS and NTS live together with port 80?
« on: May 24, 2013, 01:03:00 PM »
Before I start flailing at a solution -
Is there a way for a server to have IIS running AND host my NT Server on port 80?
if there is a separate IP address?
in a VM?
Thanks,
Chris

Web Server - Ask For Help / ssl_error_rx_record_too_long
« on: April 29, 2013, 06:54:15 AM »
On a new installation of a NTWS 6.51 server. Using SSL on the whole app, we get the following error-
==============================
Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to 66.208.242.189:50006.
SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.
(Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)
==============================
Any suggestions on what can cause this? In searching for the error in the forum, I see that it is mostly seen as an issue with a single page having 2 servers. That is not the case here since the whole site is secure.
We have this running on 3 other servers as well and I'm at a loss as to what differences I might look for.
=<Edit>==
Here is the error from Chrome:
=======================
SSL connection error
Unable to make a secure connection to the server. This may be a problem with the server, or it may be requiring a client authentication certificate that you don't have.
Error 107 (net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR): SSL protocol error.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Cancel on a form uploads a file
« on: February 14, 2013, 04:12:29 PM »
Hi
I want users to be able to upload a file or two. So I use a form so they can enter the description of the file, click the upload button, select their file, come back to the form, then click Save. The file and the description gets saved file gets saved everyone goes home happy.
BUT if the user changes their mind, and clicks Cancel, the description record is rightly ignored, and the file STILL GETS SAVED and there in lies the rub.
I don't see a way around this. I must be missing something.
Is there a way to cancel the upload?
TIA,
chris

Web Server - Ask For Help / NTWS app fails as service with MSSQL
« on: February 08, 2013, 01:00:00 PM »
I have a NTWS 6.51 site running as a service with selfservice.
This has been running for years but recently had to make some changes and so upgraded it to C8 and NTWS 6.51.
Now the silly thing won't let anyone get to the data. This includes loggin in. It just seems to ignore the SQL connect string.
If I kill the service and run it as a window, it seems to work. Not at the client's location however. and that is not a workable solution.
So we made a manager app for it to start and stop the service.
If we Start the service from the manager, it works perfectly. BUT if we reboot the machine and allow it to start by itself (it is set to automatic), the site doesn't work.
At that point, we can start the manager, stop the service, wait a minute and restart it from the manager, it works fine.
Can anyone see a possible solution? What am I missing?
On a side note, WHY does self service install the service as 2x the automatic byte instead of the selected constant?
Thanks,
Chris C

Web Server - Ask For Help / Uploading files no longer works
« on: November 19, 2012, 06:27:24 PM »
I just updated to NT 6.51 and first all my headers were broken. Apparently I have some unsafe code there. Found the check box to allow that. BUT now my upload a file procedure doesn't work.
Can anyone give me a starting point where to look for an issue with the upload a file. Has something changed to affect uploading a file since 6.3? I don't see anything in the history to suggest an issue.
Thanks,

Web Server - Ask For Help / jQuery problem in NT 6.46?
« on: October 18, 2012, 05:23:59 AM »
Is there a new trick that this old dog must learn to make themes work in 6.46?
I have just updated a large NT app to 6.46. I have 5 sites running this server each one having its own theme.
Now I've made a new site and want to add a new theme to the mix.(My favorite feature of NT6)
So I go to Theme roller and roll up some nice color combinations, download them, drop them into my themes folder, add my standard mods and now the tabs don't work on the site.
I switch back to an older theme and it works, switch the new jQ 1.9 theme - no joy.
Has something changed in jQuery 1.9? all my 1.8 themes work fine.
As part of my testing, I replace each css file in the new theme folder one by open until it broke. Seems that jquery-ui.css is the culprit.
My thought is either NT 6.46 has changed, jQuery 1.9 has changed something, or I have forgotten to throw a switch somewhere.
TIA,
Chris

Web Server - Ask For Help / Ampersand in data causing an issue
« on: October 11, 2012, 11:09:37 AM »
I know I'm behind the times using ver 6.26 (the session Id change scared me off.)
We're having a problem in 2 sites - when the data has an ampersand (&) the page won't display properly or at all.
Any suggestions? Will an update help?

Web Server - Ask For Help / Browse in Form filter problem
« on: June 15, 2012, 04:30:14 PM »
Hi
I have a browse in a memory form that has a radio buttons to set a filter.
This browse is also used elsewhere without the form and works.
My question is about the filter I'm using. The ord:status field is a long. It holds the status of the order.
The browse uses this filter
- 'inlist(ord:status,'&p_web.gsv('ReqStatus')&')'
, where ReqStatus is the requested status or a list of related statuses. So it could be '7' or it could be '7,9,24'
Outside of the form this works fine.
Inside the form it only works if the filter is 'ord:status='&p_web.gsv('ReqStatus')
The Form Radio field is called ReqStatus string(10) to allow for multiple statuses if needed.
ord:status is in the hotfields.
I have the "Child of" filter first in the list of conditional filters.
In debugview I can see the view filter property being set
[8188] [netTrace][thread=3] (1216491978:3)_Filter: inlist(ord:status,7) - In the form doesn't work.
and
[8188] [netTrace][thread=3] (1216491978:3)_Filter: inlist(Ord:Status,8,7,9,24) - Outside the form does work.
and
[8392] [netTrace][thread=3] (179983165:3)_Filter: ord:status=7 - Inside the form, does work.
Any suggestion as to why this might be happening or what I could try next?
Thanks much,
chris C

Web Server - Ask For Help / Strange Tab behavior
« on: March 22, 2012, 11:38:10 AM »
Hi
I have a form that has 3 tabs. I'm using the Rounded form so the tabs open one beneath the other.
2 of the tabs are for normal data entry and the 3rd is for the user to handle an error condition.
Because of the way users are, I want to hide the 2 entry tabs while displaying the error tab and vice versa.
This all seems to work well enough until the user hits Save. Then the processing is supposed to move to a payment method page.
When the payment page is attempted, I get just raw HTML code in the browser starting with this -
<script defer="defer">
jQuery(function() {jQuery("#UpdateOrders_frm").ntform("showTab",2);});
</script>
<script defer="defer">
jQuery(function() {jQuery("#UpdateOrders_frm").ntform("showTab",0);});
</script>
<script defer="defer">
jQuery(function() {jQuery("#UpdateOrders_frm").ntform("hideTab",1);});
</script>
<script defer="defer">
jQuery(function() {jQuery("#UpdateOrders_frm").ntform("showTab",2);});
</script>
<script defer="defer">
jQuery(function() {jQuery("#UpdateOrders_frm").ntform("showTab",0);});
</script>
<script defer="defer">
jQuery(function() {jQuery("#UpdateOrders_frm").ntform("hideTab",1);});
</script>
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2012 18:55:54 GMT
That looks like the tabs code was still in the packet when the payments page is loaded. The http/ ... etc is the header of the payments page.
I've been flailing at this for a day or so now.
Can anyone give me a clue where I might look to see where I went wrong?
Thanks,
Chris

Web Server - Ask For Help / conditional radio button fail in 6.17
« on: February 02, 2012, 05:01:58 PM »
This works in 6.15 - I set include conditions on some radio button options based on the primed value of a field during an insert.
Updated to 6.17. then it didn't work - the options never showed.
Reverted back to 6.15 - customer is happy again.
I have not done a compare between the two versions so I'm not sure what may've changed to cause this.

Web Server - Ask For Help / NT 6.17 - adding xhtml breaks browse
« on: February 02, 2012, 05:23:34 AM »
I'm sure I must be missing something here. I'd like to put a link above or below a browse.
I put <a href="someotherpage">Click here to go to some other page</a>
in the xhtml, give it a routine name
Now the sort headers, search and nav buttons don't work.
I take it out browse works. Put it back it doesn't work.
I can even make it work or break editing it with the firebug editor.
Do browses not allow links? Are the scripts that fragile?
(I even put the css classes back to their normal order!)
TIA,
chris

Web Server - Ask For Help / Understanding CSS load order
« on: January 27, 2012, 04:48:07 PM »
Hi Bruce,
Firstly, I want to say I love the ability of quick theming using theme directories - brilliant.
This isn't so much a question of How-to as it is to gain some understanding why it is done so...
In the NT template, CSS files are loaded in this order-
s_web.AddStyle(clip(g:Theme) & '/jquery-ui.css',true) & |
s_web.AddStyle('jquery-nt-color.css') &|
s_web.AddStyle('jquery-nt-menu.css') &|
s_web.AddStyle('jquery-nt-cal.css') &|
s_web.AddStyle('netweb.css') &|
s_web.AddStyle(clip(g:Theme) & '/nettalk-ui.css',true) & |
s_web.AddStyle(clip(g:Theme) & '/' & clip('csmods.css'),true) & |
s_web.AddStyle('dstyle.css') &|
s_web.AddStyle('vtip.css')
This puts the jQuery values at the bottom of the pile. nt-colors and any other css class would take precedence.
The way I see it is that the precesdence should go NetTalk, JQuery, mine.
Tyhe NetTalk css is generally about structure, jQuery (Theme Roller) is generally about style and color, and Mine are usually minor tweaks to each of those.
Here is the way I have reordered the CSS stack -
s_web.AddStyle('jquery-nt-color.css') &|
s_web.AddStyle('jquery-nt-menu.css') &|
s_web.AddStyle('jquery-nt-cal.css') &|
s_web.AddStyle('netweb.css') &|
s_web.AddStyle(clip(g:Theme) & '/nettalk-ui.css',true) & |
s_web.AddStyle(clip(g:Theme) & '/jquery-ui.css',true) & |
s_web.AddStyle('dstyle.css') &|
s_web.AddStyle(clip(g:Theme) & '/' & clip('csmods.css'),true) & |
s_web.AddStyle('vtip.css') &|
''
dstyle.css is my tweaks to the standard NetTalk structure and is common to all themes.
csmods.css are my tweaks to the individual theme like browse row colors or form colors that are related to the theme.
So the question is I guess, am I missing something in your logic of the stack arrangement that might get me into trouble without realizing?
Thanks for any comments,
Chris
