Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: How to execute code once of Form Load?
« Last post by rjolda on September 25, 2026, 08:41:04 AM »HI Johan,
This does NOT sound right. Your procedure is actually getting called TWICE. I would look into that as it should be called ONCE but it will loop through and set different stages. Sounds like you have parallel procedures and they are clashing. Seems like you need to see why that is happening. I do the same type of password reset that you are talking about. It is a Memory Web Form. It has an ID that it grabs for password reset.
loc:resetGUID = p_web.GetValue('id') ! if comes in with a GUID for PW RESET
! message('Reset id: ' & loc:resetGUID)
if loc:resetGUID <> ''
p_web.SSV('loc:resetGUID', loc:resetGUID) ! keep until done.
p_web.SSV('tab',1)
end
I use another Memory Form to have them enter their E mail for password reset. I look up the e-mail and if it exists, I send them a reset link. Probably much like you did.
I would be wanting to chase down why the procedure for password reset is being called twice.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: How to execute code once of Form Load?
« Last post by JohanR on September 25, 2026, 03:20:41 AM »Hi,
Switching on Multi TAB support creates this, have tested it with one of the examples.
Is this correct?
How to test or which embed to use on first page load to run code only once for page setup?
I don't want to go down the road of trying to check for TAB id etc...if this process is not correct and there is something I am missing.
thanks

Thanks for the info, I did have the stage as part of my debug log, but somehow I posted old screenshots.
The stage stays the same.
Something is triggering the form to be requested twice.
Between the devtools log and chatgpt, it's pointing at 2 requests
GET page
↓
generate sessionStorage.id
↓
GET /NewTabID
↓
set temporary x-TabID cookie
↓
location.reload()
↓
GET page again
One of the differences
SESSIONID=MrlXGbhPPdH9e4WrF5aRVl3dZUIvvp; x-TabID=4iunbrgg
and
Cookie: SESSIONID=MrlXGbhPPdH9e4WrF5aRVl3dZUIvvp
Still trying to understand why,
but the main goal is to somewhere in the init of the form have code that should only execute once.
So looking to check what to test and how to test.
In this case, a password reset link was emailed,
if the user clicks the link, the form is loaded twice and on the second instance it blocks as the link has been used already.
I can code around this somehow, but I still would like to understand why it executes twice,
as there could be other forms or situations with the same behavior.
As with these problems I never know if I caused an issue in my code and I end up chasing all sorts of avenues.
thanks
Johan

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: Webhooks in Nettalk?
« Last post by AtoB on September 24, 2026, 11:15:04 PM »Hi Ron,
why: I need to interface (API) with a new transportation system for one of my clients that plans and keeps track of trips/shipments/etc from various parties. This system (by default) sends out lots of data (to our already heavily used api-servers). Their payloads are quite large and most are not necessary for us. We decided a webhook system would be better. Now they just signal to our api-server: trip X has changed or shipment Y has updates and then we just register these events. They send really small payloads and I respond in a couple of milliseconds.
I've got a separate application that processes these webhook events and decides wether they are relevant for our needs (and when they are I fetch the data from their system and process it). Main advantage: I can skip lots of events and always retrieve the most current data/state from this system.
The api-server has (currently) one endpoint (basicly NetWebmethod) that registers the events. It's not entirely finished and needs some polishing on my end but it adheres to some standards and the article prevented me from making stupid mistakes (which there probably are still some in this system :-))
When it's stable I can post some code snippets so you can get the gist of it if you like to (currently working on the event processing bit and still making changes ...)
Regards,
Ton

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: How to execute code once of Form Load?
« Last post by rjolda on September 24, 2026, 12:48:58 PM »Hi Johan,
I wanted to capture the last SAVE to File event and run code there. I put an embed there and traced the stage each time that it ran and I found that p_stage=65536 was the embed point at the very end. I put code there and it only runs ONCE. So, I would suggest you place a debug trace on the embed you want and see what stage it runs at and see if you can isolate a stage (by number) that runs only ONCE.
I am not sure that it is best practice but it works ! ( forms can get called many times as the web server services other calls and keeps coming back to the open form for that user)

I have had the menu go wonky several times. I use a double drop menu. Sometimes after editing a menu item, it goes wonky and goes to Task Panel or Accordion and is half missing. So, I would check that first.
