Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Using EIP (4.31)
« on: June 22, 2008, 10:58:46 PM »
Hi Murray,
No, there's no trick to this. It should work fine, as long as the template settings are set correctly. However it's difficult to comment on what may be wrong without an example. Any chance you could post an example of what you're doing so I can take a look?
Cheers

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Updated To 4.31 - Unique Key Unchanging Key Gone
« on: June 20, 2008, 04:04:58 AM »
Hi Dave,
>> On a browse, after upgrading to 4.31 a Unique,unchanging key field became blank.
I'm not 100% sure about this. As far as I can tell it's not that it makes it blank, it's more that it suddenly, absolutely, requires it to be filled in. In earlier versions if it was blank it used the Key set under the "tables" button, and failing that used the file's primary key.
In 4.31 though, I've made it stricter - the uniquekey _must_ be set.
Cheers

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: 4.31 - Check Box Problem Too - My DCT Defaults Cause Errors
« on: June 20, 2008, 03:14:26 AM »
Hi Dave,
Your posting here was helpful in isolating a small template bug. So please don't apologize for posting. The template code assumed the checkbox would have a numeric value set in the dict, and this isn't the case.
Your work-around is fine, no problems there, but you shouldn't have had to do it. I've fixed the template for the next build.

<< I generally have found it better not to try to do much logic in the dictionary, but rather handle it in NetTalk Web (NTW) if possible.
It's always better if the template supports the dictionary settings directly without additional work. If you find dictionary settings that don't work please let me know - that's usually a bug.
Cheers
Bruce

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Extra buttons on browse
« on: June 20, 2008, 02:53:29 AM »
Hi Murray,
Ok, adding the button under the browse is the easy bit, and I'll dealwith that in a second.
However, your understanding of Sessions and Threads is inaccurate, and far more important. First off a session <> a thread. Indeed, a single session will result in many, many threads happening.
Specifically in this case, if you use an In-Memory file to create a browse, and the file is /THREADED, then by the time the user _sees_ the browse, the file is already gone. In short, the thread that _generates_ the browse page lasts about 1 tenth of a second and then is no more.
Certainly it's no longer there when the user clicks on a button.
So the first thing you need to do is make the memory table so the data is available across threads, and add a "SessionId" field to the table so you can filter the table based on a specific session number.
Ok, back to the button. The best way to add extra controls to the browse, is to put the browse on a Form. In other words you'd have the Form (memory, not file based, no Save or cancel buttons, style probably "None") with a Browse as one field, and then a button as another.
Cheers

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Firefox 3 supported?
« on: June 20, 2008, 02:02:37 AM »
Hi Alan,
Well the good news is I can duplicate the effect here. Tracking down specifically what is different was tricky, but I'm glad to say the fix is very simple.
Obviously the fix will be included in all future builds. However, if you don't want to upgrade your NetTalk just yet, or if you need to "retro-fix" and older program then you can follow the steps below. If you need your program working in FF3 before I release the next build then also just apply the steps below.
1. Open the source file \clarion6\libsrc\netweb.clw
2. search for a routine called Calc_ContentType. There is only one routine with this name in the file, so it should be easy to find.
Inside this routine is this snippet of code;
if loc:z
self.RequestBoundary = '--' & self._GetHeaderField('boundary',self.RequestContentType, 1, size(self.RequestContentType), 1, 1)
self.RequestContentType = sub(self.RequestContentType,1,loc:z-1)
end
An additional IF statement is required, resulting in this;
if loc:z
if instring('multipart/form-data',self.RequestContentType,1,1)
self.RequestBoundary = '--' & self._GetHeaderField('boundary',self.RequestContentType, 1, size(self.RequestContentType), 1, 1)
end
self.RequestContentType = sub(self.RequestContentType,1,loc:z-1)
end
If you have any questions about this please feel free to email me of course.
Cheers
Bruce

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Display extra fields in drop list?
« on: June 19, 2008, 07:22:02 AM »
Hi Alan,
yes, the dropped field can be an expression.
Although, in your case, a better expression would be
Description Field:
clip(EMP:FirstName) & ' ' & EMP:Lastname
Also, remember to add Emp:FirstName, and Emp:LastName to the hot-fields list for the drop down.
Cheers
Bruce

« on: June 19, 2008, 07:19:11 AM »
Hi Murray,
The last bit dictates the first bit.
Because you want to go to a new page (saying "emails sent") I'm gonna reword your problem a bit.
What you want to do is add a button to the browse, that takes you to a NetWebPage procedure. This procedure will send an email, then show the user a page saying "email sent".
Worded this way, the task becomes simple. Create a button on the browse row. Set the button to be an "other" button. And set the button type to be "Submit". The URL for the button is 'SendingEmail'
Then create a new procedure, a NetWebPage, called SendingEmail.
Inside this procedure code your SendEmail stuff, and then let the page say anything you like.
Cheers
Bruce

Hi Ian,
I've just uploaded pre-release 4 of 4.31 to the pre-release page

In this build, check out example 28 (Buttons). This now has buttons that demonstrate updating a cell, row, or whole browse when a button is pressed.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Problems resizing HTML edit box
« on: June 15, 2008, 11:56:13 PM »
the size of the whole html control is more or less fixed by the toolbar buttons etc.
However you can change the size of the editable portion by changeing the "rows" and "columns" of the form-field text control.

Another option might be to not generate the graph at all id the "browser" is a robot. I'll have to take a look at my logs to see if the bot can be distinguished from the others.
