Advice NOT 4D

[Raimon Fernandez Sirera-2]

Hello,


We have to serve some static files, that are only windows-specific:

.ocx
.lpk
.cab


Some of them, on windows, are executables, but when they are serving  
for Active4D on OS X, they show their contents ...

We have changes the ExtensionMap.ini with some values, but none of  
them are working ...

Any idea ?

thanks,


raimon


ps. OS X 10.5
Active4D 4.0


`Ext Type Creator MIME type
`----------------------------------------------------------------
...

.CAB CAP CAP application/octet-stream
.OCX OCX OCX application/x-msdownload

...

Hello,

Maybe I'm missing something but any news for a v11 Active4D version ?

In the aparajita's web I can read: "Our hope is to have a v11 version  
in Q4 2008."

we are hung without that ...

regards,


raimon

The important word there is "hope". I hoped to get started earlier,  
but I am a month behind since a client project took 3 weeks more to  
finish than I expected.

Don't worry, I am feeling the pressure from all sides...

Hi Aparajita,

same here, I am about to deliver the V11 SQL Version of the clients  
appication (another 2-3 weeks at most) and I do need to make a  
cmmitment on how the website will be run n the near future.

In worst case I will have to write a data transfer mechanism myself,  
as i am currently working with 4D Backup mirroring.

I just need to kno what I must do and what i need to squeeze out of  
the client...

TIA

Alex

I am shooting for beginning of June to have the first beta. I'll let  
everyone know next week if I am still on track.

Hello,


I've spent three hours trying to figure it out why my root folder  
wasn't recognize.

It's very simple: web

       
        DEFAULT
        -------
        root = <default>
*/

root = web


/*


Some times Active4D was getting documents from the paren folder of web.

Also, starting Active4D with no library and config files, doesn't put  
an alert on console, as it did with the first beta.

And the configuration was the most simple:

In the same folder:

- 4D Standalone
- web_decoy
- web
- Active4D
- myDatabase.4db
- ...


Now works as expected ...

But I'm still have a problem with constants, Active4D doesn't  
recognize them, no matter if they are just one word. This is a known  
problem ?

For the other, it seems that all is working well ...

:-)

thanks again,

regards,


raimon fernandez


ps. this is on OS X 10.5.8 and 4D v11.4HotFix6

Hello,

Please report any problems with Active4D in the issuetracker. Be sure  
to include your platform, OS version and 4D version in the report.

I recommend that everyone turn debug logging on. Create a file called  
"log_debug_level" in the <structure>/Logs/Active4D folder. The file  
should contain the text "debug". Once you do this, extensive info is  
logged, for example what values are read from the configuration files.

If there are no config files found, some simple defaults are used. I'm  
not sure why the first beta complained about missing libs or config  
files, but it shouldn't have.

What kind of constants? 4D named constants? Active4D constants? Your  
custom named constants?

If it is custom named constants, unfortunately Active4D v5 can no  
longer access them, you will have to define them another way.

This is a limitation by 4D v11 or can be it done in Active4D in a  
future release ?

We have hundreds of user constants in our 4D app and in our web pages,  
if they can't be accessed, we'll try to find a new solution but ...

thanks,

regards.

It's a limitation of 4D v11. User constants are kept in 4DK#  
resources. 4D has made it clear that resources will not be supported

I have written a 4D method that will convert user constants to an  
Active4D library. Then all you have to is import the library once  
(perhaps in the On Application Start method), and your existing custom  
constant references should work as is. When it is posted on the site  
I'll let everyone know.
