Okay so there in terms of what you will be able to do in this regard
with the HTML5 engine there are two feasible options as far as I can see:
1) "launch url" with a 'mailto:' URL. This would invoke the locally
configured email client (and is what revMail does). This won't (I
believe) work in the HTML5 engine yet because we haven't hooked it up
(to my knowledge at least). I *think* this would be possible - Peter
could perhaps comment. (It would ask the hosting web-browser to launch
the url).
2) Put a web-service on a server and get that to send the email. This
requires no client-side email configuration but does require
configuring a web-service to do it. Indeed, there might be third party
services out there which could be used. Again, Peter would have to
comment on the feasibility of whether this would work in the HTML5
engine at the moment since I cannot recall off the top of my head
which (if any) URL primitives we have yet implemented.
Warmest Regards,
Mark.
Thank you very much for a reply that is a statement of the /status quo/
as regards e-mailing from Livecode at the moment. This is extremely
helpful as it gives me an idea of what I /can/ and /cannot/
do at the moment in this regard.
What I would like to do, ideally, is set up a chart of some sort with
text entry fields for students to fill in
online, then click a 'submit' button that will send the field entries as
a list to an e-mail address.
As the current revMail capabilities are not /currently/ implemented in
the HTML5 engine that will have
to wait.
Am I right in understanding that, theoretically a least, the goal is to
implement all the capabilities
of Livecode into the HTML5 engine?
Richmond.
