I couldn't help but wonder why you wanted to save stacks from LiveCode Server. The important part of this support is the ability to share business logic between desktop, mobile and server applications.
Storing data is an enticing idea, but flawed: stacks are not a multi-user data storage infrastructure. Invocations of your .lc script from multiple clients may come in any order, and some processing may take longer. And what if a user is impatient, hits the back button in his browser and pushes the same data again? Stick with databases for storage, especially in multi-user scenarios - it's what the things were built for :-) Jan Schenkel. ===== Quartam Reports & PDF Library for LiveCode www.quartam.com ===== "As we grow older, we grow both wiser and more foolish at the same time."

Is there a reason why allowing LiveCode server to save stacks would not be a good idea? I see it could be a way to store data without having to use a database. Poking around with stacks in LiveCode server has reminded me of starting out with Hypercard and realizing how it could be used to store and categorize information using stacks, substacks and cards. However if you can't save the stacks you have to store the data in a database and each time a page is loaded recreate the set of stacks and cards. -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Server-create-stack-trouble-tp3721781p3724846.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
