More questions regarding Server oddities

I'm continuing to work on a .irev web page, with varying success. On-Rev account, server sage, software:/usr/local/cpanel/cgi-sys/ireviam-engine according to the tip Alex gave me earlier. Brief description of page's function: 1) Load static .csv file from web server into a variable. This is

Re: More questions regarding Server oddities

Not sure why it stopped working, but you might try hitting the file directly. put URL "binfile:ynh5list_UTF8.txt " (Lyn Teyla just sent the same thought..) Also, the extension you use with onrev chooses which version of the server you are hitting. I'm won

Re: More questions regarding Server oddities

Hmm. Also, I notice the error message indicates you used a single quote rather than a double in the script. While it should work that way, you might try " instead. It is really weird that the error is not found despite the file being accessible from a browser. You didn't by chance copy and paste

Displaying mixed text and images in iOS app

I am building an iOS app in which I need to display numerous (upwards of 50) documents that contain mixed text and images. A typical doc would be about three legal pages long and might contain 5–6 small images interspersed among the text. Basically, Word documents. When displaying each doc, I w

Re: Displaying mixed text and images in iOS app

Richard, I haven't done this, but it is pretty clear that since word can save to PDF, if livecode can display PDFs efficiently, that's going to be your most efficient and flexible approach. You do the formatting in Word, then export the doc to PDF. You might also try displaying the PDF in a brow

Re: More questions regarding Server oddities

Mike (and Lyn), I think you both missed the point about Tim's original problem : his page works with the OLD rev Server, and fails with the latest LC server (6.6.2) So while I agree that it is probably better to not pursue issues in old versions, I don't think Tim has much choice, unless s

My apologies if I misunderstood. I thought the gist of the message I answered was that the .csv file was no longer being found, despite it having worked previously. >From the message I answered: "Extremely simple, no css or formatting of any kind. Just trying to get the three items of data on the

You could display Word, PDF (any file format the device can normally display) using mergDoc or PDF using mergReader. See mergext.com Cheers Monte Sent from my iPhone > On 26 Dec 2015, at 3:54 am, Richard Miller wrote: > > Should I look at displaying PDFs? If so, will this approach give the

Re: More questions regarding Server oddities

Thanks all! Just to re-cap, I'm having two problems on this little project. 1) Showing UTF-8 correctly. I have "solved" this by using the older revolution server that On-Rev provides. 2) My text list of programs, from which I retrieve program title and host, suddenly 'disappeared' as far as t

Monte, Is there an advantage in using one over the other? It is equally easy for me to save the documents in Word or PDF format. I'm looking for the most elegant, seamless method for displaying these docs in my app. Thanks, Richard Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 25, 2015, at 3:24 PM, Monte Gou

mergReader has more features like bookmarks and thumbnails. mergDoc is the standard iOS way to present a document so it's the same as what you see when you open a document in mail etc. Sent from my iPhone > On 26 Dec 2015, at 11:45 am, Richard Miller wrote: > > Is there an advantage in using

TOO Bizarre Re: More questions regarding Server oddities

Ok, without touching a thing in the script/.irev file, it is NOW once again correctly retrieving the file from On-rev's sage server using put URL "http://pba.on-rev.com/ynh5list_UTF8.txt"; into vlist But it is still not retrieving the file from our Japan-based web host. (.irev web page file s
