Re:WebDev Ver 23 PDF CORRUPTED when Downloaded (no replies)

Hello and thanks in advance for the help.

When I run my database web app developed in Version 23 from any computer and preview a report which uses the PDF Format, I can see it fine now, if I open the application from any mobile device and preview the file it offers to download it into the mobile device, when I do, and I try to open it, it reports that the file can't be open because it's corrupted.

Any Ideas or help

Thanks
Best regards,

Carlos

Problem with HideShow control (no replies)

David.IB — Wed, 14 Jun 2017 02:07:30 +0200

Hi there.!

For a strange reason, the click zone of a HideShow control disappears from the control in the page editor and, consequently, the control can not be expanded when the web page is executed. Anyone know how I can reset that click zone?

I'm using Webdev versión 21

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

First off, I am a novice at programming but have a good grip on Webdev so far. I am trying build a 'responsive website', but I am struggling to detect the browser width.

Fabrice Harari was kind enough to give me his js code:

function JSGetBrowserWidth()
{
// return document.body.clientWidth;
var w=window.innerWidth || document.documentElement.clientWidth || document.body.clientWidth;
return w
}

Not knowing how to code/handle js. I have pasted the code in my home page's browser code (which is flipped to JS : blue). After this I have no idea what to do....

Can anyone help me detect a browser's width so that I can adjust my content depending on the device that is being used?

Thanks in advance to all the pro Webdevers!

Composite Key with Oracle (no replies)

Juan Villasenor — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 17:31:01 +0200

Hi All

I think this is not a new issue but i wnat to resolve it, the problem is when i try to use HreadSeekFirst(FileName,IndexKey,["FIELD1",NUMBER,NUMBER]) always i get the first record in the DataBase, the IndexKey is composed by:

This file had
PK_GROUP = GROUP_ID number

IDX1_FIMRAMDL_GCODE with UNIQUE check, with the following information

FIRMA_CODE varchar2(20) value="TEST"
MDLDATA_ID number value=14
GROUP_CODE varchar(12) value="010011012013"

I'm using the Oracle (Oracle Provider for OLE DB) to connect the DataBase, working fine if i don't need to access or retreive composite key ;-(

All the time when i import a file don't show up the PK_GROUP as a key only the filed name this is normal?, also the Index file create 3 files why?

Thxs

WB 17: Splitter (1 reply)

Piet van Zanten — Tue, 23 May 2017 22:36:38 +0200

Hi,

As an addition to the little splitter project Michael Drechsler initiated, there's now a possibility to store the splitter position. You can download it here.
Because the splitting is all done in browser code the server does not "know" what position the splitter has.
So we need some Ajax to pass it to the server.
I created a server procedure, Ajax enabled, as follows:

PROCEDURE Save_SplitterPos(nPos)
INIWrite("store","splitter",NumToString(nPos),fExeDir()+"\settings.ini")

The storing is done in an ini file for simplicity reasons, but you may want to change that to a database or any other more convenient way.
When the page is closed, we call this Ajax procedure in the browser Unload (on unload) code:

AJAXExecute(Save_SplitterPos,BTN_Splitter..X)

When the page is called we need to read (in the page global declarations or initialization code) the last position of the splitter:

nSplitterPos=Val(INIRead("store","splitter","0",fExeDir()+"\settings.ini"))

nSplitterPos is a global int.
Now in the onload (browser) code of the page we set the splitterpos and do a call to the Move_Splitter procedure:

IF nSplitterPos<>0 THEN
   bMoving=True  //set the global boolean to true to enable the move
   Move_Splitter(nSplitterPos)  //do the move
   bMoving=False //reset the global boolean to false to stop move mode.
END
CELL_Left..Height=ZONE_Body..Height-10
CELL_Right..Height=ZONE_Body..Height-10
CELL_Right..Width=ZONE_Body..Width-CELL_Left..Width-50

That's it, happy developping,

Piet

HTML editor with image browser (4 replies)

Piet van Zanten — Fri, 15 May 2015 11:33:08 +0200

Hi,

Here's a tutorial to integrate CKEditor in Webdev 17.
To be able to upload images and select images stored on the server I found PDW File Browser, a free PHP based plugin.
This tutorial will show you how to install and configure them.

Step 1. Download CKEditor
Unzip it to a folder located below your Project_WEB folder. In this tutorial I'm assuming you are using the folder name "ckeditor".

Step 2. Download PDW File Browser
Unzip it to a folder located below your Project_WEB folder. In this tutorial I'm assuming you are using the folder name "pdw_file_browser". Now create a folder for your uploaded images: MyProject_WEB/my_images.
Finally edit the config.php file in the pdw_file_browser root folder.
Locate the UPLOAD PATH section, uncomment the "$uploadpath =" line and modify it to

$uploadpath = "/MyProject_WEB/my_images/";

Exit and save the file.

Step 3. Check if PHP is installed on your machine. If not, download and install it. I used php-5.2.17-Win32-VC6-x86.msi under Apache 2.2. Stop the Apache service before installing PHP.
In my case I had to manually edit the httpd.conf file, because the PHPIniDir was not added by the setup program.It should look like this, depending on where you installed PHP.

#BEGIN PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL
PHPIniDir "C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP"
LoadModule php5_module "C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP/php5apache2_2.dll"
#END PHP INSTALLER EDITS - REMOVE ONLY ON UNINSTALL

Restart the Apache service.
Now with all components installed, the fun begins :)

The Webdev part
Create an multiline edit control somewhere on your page.
In the page description go to the advanced tab, Javascript tab.
Click the + Add button and browse to YourProject_WEB\ckeditor\ckeditor.js
Leave the encoding to Not defined.

Now go to the Browser Load code of your page and enter this code:

LOCAL
	sParam,sUploadDir is string 
	
sParam="/MyProject_WEB/pdw_file_browser/index.php?editor=ckeditor"
sUploadDir="/MyProject_WEB/"+"/my_images/"

JSMethod("CKEDITOR","replace",edt_Text1..Alias)   //edt_Text1 is the edit control
//JSProperty("CKEDITOR.config","filebrowserBrowseUrl")=sParam
JSProperty("CKEDITOR.config","filebrowserImageBrowseUrl")=sParam+"&filter=image
//JSProperty("CKEDITOR.config","filebrowserFlashBrowseUrl")=sParam+"&filter=flash
JSProperty("CKEDITOR.config","filebrowserWindowWidth")=1000
JSProperty("CKEDITOR.config","filebrowserWindowHeight")=720

Behold, your edit control has turned into a full blown HTML WYSIWYG editor.:cool:

For more configuration options check the CKEDITOR and the PDW file browser sites.

Deployment notes

Don't forget to set read/write rights to the pdw_file_browser/cache folder and the upload folder.

To prevent Webdev from handling the PHP files as Webdev files, add the following lines at the end of the Webdev17.conf file, located in the /etc/httpd/conf folder:

<Files YourApp_Name/pdw_file_browser>  
	ForceType None
</Files>

(this is for Apache, don't know about IIS)
The YourApp_Name is the name of your site as stated in the <Files YourApp_Name> Forcetype statement in the Webdev17.conf file.

Some tweaking.

I was not happy to have a single folder in the config.php file for all users and needed to be able to define different folders for each user. To accomplish this here are some further instructions.
Modify the pdw_file_browser\config.php as below:

// $uploadpath = "/VZTC_WEB_WEB/02303/my_images/"; // absolute path from root to upload folder (DON'T FORGET SLASHES)

// Modified PVZ : $uploadpath becomes a parameter when calling index.php
// Get upload path
if(!empty($_REQUEST['upload_path'])) {
    $uploadpath = $_REQUEST['upload_path'];
    $_SESSION['upload_path'] = $uploadpath;
} elseif (isset($_SESSION['upload_path'])) {
    $uploadpath = $_SESSION['upload_path'];
} else {
    $uploadpath = "";
}

Now we can go to Webdev and add the upload path as a parameter in code.
Note that sVerNr is a global string holding the user code, which is also the name of the users directory on the server. Also note that the upload_path parameter is added to the configuration.

LOCAL
	sParam,sUploadDir is string 
	
sParam="/MyProject_WEB/pdw_file_browser/index.php?editor=ckeditor"
sUploadDir="/MyProject_WEB/"+sVerNr+"/my_images/"

JSMethod("CKEDITOR","replace",edt_Text1..Alias)
//JSProperty("CKEDITOR.config","filebrowserBrowseUrl")=sParam+"&upload_path="+sUploadDir
JSProperty("CKEDITOR.config","filebrowserImageBrowseUrl")=sParam+"&filter=image&upload_path="+sUploadDir
//JSProperty("CKEDITOR.config","filebrowserFlashBrowseUrl")=sParam+"&filter=flash&upload_path="+sUploadDir
JSProperty("CKEDITOR.config","filebrowserWindowWidth")=1000
JSProperty("CKEDITOR.config","filebrowserWindowHeight")=720

Well, I hope this is clear and wish you happy developping.
If you have any questions or remarks, please let me know.

Scrollable treeview (1 reply)

Piet van Zanten — Tue, 23 May 2017 22:02:25 +0200

Hi,

The Webdev treeview control does not seem to have any scrollbars.
So when it's expanded it may exceed your template's boundaries at the bottom.
The solution is to contain it in a cell.
In the style tab of the cell there's an element "alignment - overflow" where you can check "with scrollbar"

Piet

Displaying a progressbar (no replies)

Piet van Zanten — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 22:32:55 +0100

Hi,

It may take some time to figure out how to display a progressbar in Webdev.
Here's a howto for Webdev 16 using the new gauge functions :

1. Create an invisible cell below your page and put a progressbar on it. It may also contain other controls, e.g. a static text and/or an image. Use a nice rounded shape for the cell e.g.:
Border color: White
Background color: Button background
Shape: Rounded diffuse - Linear_Vertical

Let's say the cell is named "WaitCell" and your progressbar is called "PROGBAR_NoName1".

2. In the button that starts the server procedure you activate the progressbar.
In the Click code (Browser):

CellDisplayDialog(WaitCell)  //check the other possible parameters for this function.
GaugeActivate(PROGBAR_NoName1,50)

(the 50 is the time in hundreds of seconds between refreshing the progressbar from the server. Don't set this time too short, to avoid too many requests.

3. In the button Click code (Server) there's your server procedure:

i is int
PROGBAR_NoName1..MaxValue=HNbRec(MyFile)
TableDeleteAll(Table_Table1)
FOR ALL MyFile_or_Query ON MyKey
   i++
   PROGBAR_NoName1=i
   Multitask(-1)
   //do your processing here
   TableAddLine(blablabla)
END
PROGBAR_NoName1=0  //reset to zero for next time

That's it. Looks very nice with the DDW and all.

Piet

How to use returntocapture after validating a form (3 replies)

Piet van Zanten — Wed, 07 Jul 2021 10:59:33 +0200

Hi,

I have developped a rather elegant form validation procedure. (if I may say so myself :xcool:)
First, define two global variables in the project initialization code: sControl and sError as string.

Then create a server procedure like:

PROCEDURE Check_Input()
IF NOT CaptchaVerify(CPTCH_Captcha,edt_Captcha) THEN
sError="The captcha was not entered correctly."
sControl=edt_Captcha..Alias
RESULT False
END
IF edt_UserName="" THEN
sError="Please enter a username."
sControl=edt_UserName..Alias
RESULT False
END
IF HReadSeekFirst(Users,Name,edt_UserName) THEN
sError="This username is already used by someone else."
sControl=edt_UserName..Alias
RESULT False
END
//put some more checks here if you like
sControl=""
sError=""
RESULT True

In the form submit button click code (server) you enter:

IF NOT Check_Input() THEN
PageRefresh(PAGE_Form)
RETURN
END

Finally you put this code in the Load (onload) code of the page:

IF sError<>"" THEN
Error(sError)
ReturnToCapture(sControl)
END

Have fun.
Regards,
Piet

edit: using ..Alias instead of ..Name really simplifies the on load code!

How to rename a project (4 replies)

Fabrice Harari — Sun, 28 Aug 2016 22:04:52 +0200

Very often, you need to start a new project by just reusing an existing one... And there comes the problem: how to properly rename the existing project and its analysis to be sure that nothing is going to get mixed up...

Here is my step by step solution (this is written for webdev but will also work for a windev or windev mobile project)

1. Do a backup of the original project (Tools>Save the project)
2. Restore this backup in a new directory named after your NEW project (Tools>Restore a project)
3. Open the restored project (still using the old project name) from the NEW directory (File>Open a project). The editor sees that the project was moved and changes anything needed accordingly)
4. If any object is open (window, page, report, etc) close it
5. With ONLY the project open (hence the step 4 above), save the project under it's new name in the SAME NEW directory (File>Save AS)

-- At this point, the project is renamed, but still used the old analysis name--

6. Open the analysis
7. Save the analysis under its new name (File>Save AS). The window that is shown is misleading in that it's the general description window for the analysis. In it, you ned to change only the 'Name' field in the first tab, then click the save button
8. Once the analysis is renamed, the analysis editor asks if you want to use the renamed analysis in the current project. Answering YES is a good idea... If you missed that step, you can still change the analysis used in the project description window.

-- At this point, project and analysis are OK, but you still have the global procedures to rename--

9. Close all windows, pages, etc
10. Open the collection of global procedures still wearing the old name (this will have to be done twice: once for the server collection, once for the browser collection)
11. Save the collection under it's new name (File>Save AS)
12. Answer yes to question asking if you want to include the renamed collection in your project
13. Delete the collection still wearing the old name (Right clic>Delete)

You still have a few files wearing the name of the old project in the project directory,a dn you 'll have to delete them by hand in windows explorer..

That's it
