Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Signature Capture
« on: March 19, 2013, 12:07:57 PM »
This will be excellent when it is implemented!! We have our clients extremely interested in signature capture on our web app and for legal reasons they need it. I"ve looked at html5 implementations, but they are complex to store. To have it built into NetTalk will be wonderful.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Mobile data entry forms
« on: August 21, 2012, 08:02:08 AM »
The way I have handled this so far on a dedicated mobile app is to create a Display field for the field label itself (with the field label text in the prompt field), and then the data field as a separate field with quotes in the prompt. Not the most elegant solution, but it works. I agree it would be great if the vertical option could work in the future for mobile layout as well.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: NetWebYear .. Add to already-populated Cell
« on: March 22, 2012, 11:45:12 AM »
A technique that I've used that has worked well for us is to have the form procedure for NetWebYear (with a parent table that keeps track of # of appointments per day), call a form whose sole purpose is to have an embedded browse related to the child table (which contains the actual appointment detail records). Just pass the date selected on the NetWebYear form as a parameter for the filter of the browse. The browse will have the standard navigation controls and add/edit/delete. So when you tap on the date of the monthly calendar, the form pops-up with a display of all appointments for that specific date. Works as normal insert/change from there just as any browse would. Has worked great for us and was how we got around the one record per day situation.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Double tap required to view record from browse

Thanks Bruce. Of course I forgot to try an example 
When I did (#3) it worked fine. Searching out the differences I found where the problem was. I had a vtip.js script for Browsers in the webserver script section. This was left over from a previous project last year and I had forgotten to remove it. Now it works like a champ. Thanks!

Web Server - Ask For Help / Double tap required to view record from browse
« on: March 13, 2012, 07:24:52 AM »
I'm in mobile mode, using NT 6.25 (although this is not related to 6.25 - it has always happened).
I have a view icon displayed for each record of a browse. The user has to double-tap on the view icon (right arrow) before being able to view the form for that record. I have commented out all p_tip references that I could find in netweb.clw since the tooltip causes double tapping on a touchscreen device. Menus work fine, all fields and drop-downs work fine (all single tap), however I can't seem to get rid of the double tap requirement on a browse record for the view icon. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: iPad - I cannot believe this. The community should be aware.
« on: March 05, 2012, 09:56:24 PM »
Native apps can access media/camera only if they have been approved by Apple (not referring to non-approved apps requiring jailbreaking). So there is some accountability on the part of the native app developer in that case. I included the link because it does refer to native app's and the security concerns that have been brought about, and the California Attorney General had brought up. You can therefore appreciate the total lack of security allowing a web app to upload images anywhere the app wanted. No approval required, no accountability, etc. Visit the wrong web address and all your images get uploaded without your permission. Even Google recognizes this now and may take steps to tighten access. I"m not making a comment on whether it is right or wrong to invoke this type of security. I'm simply responding to a post that stated "That is a MAJOR drawback of the iPad which I have always hated anyway" and bringing to light some recent movements that partly explain the reason for the restrictions. Apple was responding to privacy concerns, and Google is now looking at the same situation. So everything has to be put into context here.

John, the reason for this is due to security purposes. Apple is abiding by regulations in restricting the ability for photos to be uploaded to remote servers. It is not a drawback of the iPad but rather a reality of the world we live in. In fact they have been blamed at times for not providing enough security to prevent this from occurring.
From a developers standpoint, the iPad offers tremendous revenue opportunities. With somewhere around 70% of the tablet market at least in the U.S., it opens up a new income stream. We've made hundreds of thousands of dollars because of the iPad, so I'm rather a fan of the iPad!

Nope.
We have over a hundred clients using our NT 6 products on ipads/iphones. Java is different then javascript - which is supported.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Times over midday and midnight
« on: February 26, 2012, 04:51:54 PM »
If you use the standard clarion time fields, the time is calculated in 100th of a second and automatically calculates the time of day. Just use a time picture token (i.e. @t3) and it will display the am/pm for you based upon the correct time. So if the clarion time field is represents what would be 11AM (which would be I believe around 3,960,000 internally), and you add 2 hours (2 hrs * 60 min/hr * 60 sec/min * 100 = 720,000) then the time field internally is 4,680,000. Using your T3 token that would now show 1PM. All you need to do is when the duration is entered by the user (i.e. 2 hours), multiple it by the above formula and add it to your start time and the result is your end time. We use this formula all the time in all of our clarion and NT web apps.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Setting Icon For Mobile Web App Home Page
« on: February 20, 2012, 10:22:57 AM »
Never mind, after a little further testing I found the answer.
For anyone interested in this, I placed the link code in the 'XHTML' section of IndexPage. Within there, I created a new routine, selected After <head> as the location, and then just put the following code:
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/Images/ourapplicationicon.png"/>
(where ourapplicationicon.png is our PNG icon in a 57x57 pixel resolution - at least for the iPhone and should work for android as well. For ipad, use 72x27 pixel resolution).
The icon file itself is placed in the Images subfolder of the Web folder.
Works like a charm.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Setting Icon For Mobile Web App Home Page
« on: February 20, 2012, 10:08:39 AM »
I'm trying to find the correct embed point in our NT mobile app so that when a user saves the web app to their home screen on their phone (iphone or android) it will use our supplied icon rather than just a screen shot of the web app. Here is the code that needs to be placed on the web page (preferably the login screen or the index page):
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="ourapplicationicon.png"/>
Has anyone done this for their mobile app, or have a suggestion on the best embed point to place this? Thanks.

There is also a second part to that Youtube video on applying the Thomas Bradley signature-pad JS. The second video shows you how to save the signature and retrieve it from the server. Looks pretty straightforward, but I haven't tried it yet.
Here's the link for the second video: http://youtu.be/FHkWXLUWT6U
If you have a chance to implement it before we do Linas, would you mind letting this forum know how it worked out in NT?
