Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Error in Site Javascript Flash at the top of the page
« on: March 05, 2025, 11:35:32 PM »
Hi Jane
Thanks!
Time to change my spectacles,
my mistake was to click the Deployment option button and assumed that the settings would be correct to deploy, and did not check that page closely enough.
cheers,
Johan

Hi,
Can't recall on how to fix this or what is causing it.
I thought it was a check when in Debug mode that it does java script check and if disappears all is well, but I am in Prod mode and suppress errors are clicked on?
Any other settings I've missed?
regards
Johan

Hi Ron,
No I have not,
but would like to at some point see if anything can be done, from my design, flow or coding to lessen the Form Re-Submission message.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Confirm Form Resubmission - Use POST/Redirect/GET?
« on: February 28, 2025, 02:54:20 AM »
Hi,
Looked at this topic again to see if I can improve anything to minimise "Form Re-Submissions"
and found this
Is this something that I can implement to see if this will help and how to do that with NTWS?
If it's even possible, and will clicking the back button twice not cause the same problem?
The POST/Redirect/GET Pattern
One common way to avoid the resubmission issue is using a pattern called POST/Redirect/GET. Here's how it works:
Step 1: User submits a form using the POST method.
Step 2: Instead of simply showing the result of the form submission (e.g., a confirmation page), the server redirects the user to a new page (using a 302 redirect).
Step 3: The browser then makes a GET request to the new page, showing the result of the form submission, but this time no form data is being sent.
This way, if the user refreshes the page, it won?t trigger the form resubmission because the browser is just displaying the page after a GET request, not trying to resubmit the form.
Why Use POST/Redirect/GET?
The POST/Redirect/GET pattern is used to:
Avoid Duplicate Submissions: If the user refreshes or goes back to the page, they won?t accidentally submit the same form data again.
Improve User Experience: Users are not confused by a resubmission warning when refreshing or navigating back.
Prevent Unintended Actions: This ensures that critical actions (like payments or orders) are not unintentionally repeated due to a page refresh or navigation.
thanks

Thanks!!
NetShowSend=>1 did the trick
Could see immediately that I made hash of the lookups in my config file for my header settings, custom header etc...

Hi,
In doing a Post to Postmark email API I get the following response.
My JSON data seems to check out OK using a validator.
Is there a way I can save the header of my post?
I know using ThisPage gives me the returned page , header and all, but is there a similar function for the POST?
thanks

Web Server - Ask For Help / Sending mail using Postmark API
« on: December 20, 2024, 02:11:11 AM »
Hi Bruce
Many thanks for your help last night in the NT user group, invaluable sessions,
I certainly learned a few things.
I had one other question about inline images for the HTML body, is using NetEmailSend the only way to do this?
If yes, then my plan was to create a dummy NetEmailSend object, load the HTML string, do the EmbedImages, and then move the HTML string out again with the images embedded.
Postmark has an alternative, in that if the CID is specified in the HTML and the image is on the attachment list,
then it would do the embedding of inline images when the Postmark server processes the email.
But not sure how to handle the CID creation
Any thoughts are appreciated.
thanks
Johan

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Filter error on compile
« on: December 16, 2024, 09:55:13 PM »
Hi,
Seems to be something to do with the file relationship and how it's setup.
Will report back once I get back to it and solved it
I have typed in a filter for now.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Filter error on compile
« on: December 16, 2024, 09:19:14 PM »
Hi,
I have received this in the past and could not solve it, lucky for me it was a test browse that I was playing around with and simply deleted it.
Now getting it again, almost as if there is an invalid character there triggering the filter code but then as it's invalid does not generate anything valid?
I have cleaned out the filter fields in the template area.
Any ideas?
thanks
Johan

« on: December 06, 2024, 10:50:03 PM »
Hi,
I have seen some posts on how to generate favicon and the meta code to include etc..
Is there a guide/webinar/user group episode that shows the options and process to
1) setup a mobile shortcut on a user phone
2) Is there a way to put this in the app stores or make it available from the website after a user has registered
thanks

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Cannot run any deployed demo app
« on: November 28, 2024, 12:03:47 AM »
Hi Poul
Not sure where you're seeing the errors or copied the text from.
But easiest for me as follows and not sure if you've done this.
If the page loads , even with errors, then the page is found,
right click on the page in the browser and see the source lines for the script files
eg.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:r,b" />
<script src="/scripts/modernizr.custom.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/scripts/jquery-3.7.0.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/scripts/jquery-ui-1.13.2.custom.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
if you click on the line, it should open the .JS file
otherwise check the location of the file
check your webfolder setting and where the app is loaded from
see attachment
c:\appfolder\webapp.exe
your web folder normally is in the same folder
c:\appfolder\web
and below that the script folder
c:\appfolder\web\scripts

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Issues displaying NetTalk camera images in a Windows application.
« on: November 15, 2024, 06:41:09 AM »Hi Jari
Some suggestions , sure there are other ways too.
Seeing as you have it in a stringtheory object already, no reason to move to local text field, use the ST methods
Also possibly search for something a bit more specific eg. data:image/png;base64,
I don't have enough knowledge of image formats ,encoding and you should be searching for,
but you might encounter a different image, with a different starting string, or a random comma, but it's not valid for what you need.
You can then expand on the search string, to other possibilities, if required
tmp_st.fromblob(ALI:Photo)
pos# = tmp_st.FindChars('data:image/png;base64,')
if pos# = 0
message('not found')
else
if pos# = 1
tmp_st.RemoveFromPosition(pos#,22)
tmp_st.Base64Decode()
loc:filename = 'c:\tmp\' & random(11111,99999) & '.png'
tmp_st.savefile(loc:filename)
tmp_st.toblob(ALI:Photo)
message('done and saved to:' & loc:filename)
else
message('possible other issue')
end
end

Hi,
Have managed this, however am running into all sorts of other issues when the 2 sites are exchanging information.
Will report back if I make any progress and if the added complication justifies the end result.
cheers,

Hi Bruce
Sorry ,
The loading of the file into a ST object was to try the ST decode,
but I had some issues with saving the file into usbale format.
will check again later and and try to figure out why

Hi Bruce
Yes,
below first few chars from the file that was saved with this code in the desktop program.
data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAoAAAAHgCAYAAAA10dzkAAAAAX
Code in desktop program
loc:filename = 'c:\tmp\' & random(11111,99999) & '.jpg'
IF BLOBTOFILE(ALI:Photo,loc:filename) !returns an ERRORCODE if copy fails
MESSAGE('BLOB did not copy due to the following ERRORCODE: ' & ERRORCODE())
else
tmp_st.loadfile(loc:filename)
message('saved:')
END
Copying that to decoding website produces an image file.
Think it needs a few more lines of code to sort it out to display on screen
