Programming / Re: FTPS instead of FTP or SFTP
« on: December 28, 2018, 08:50:49 AM »
Just did some more in depth research and it seems filezilla always prompts about certificates so perhaps the certificate is valid, however I would still suggest you validate it since, from the sounds of your posting, this issue just started. 

As for using *web/ftp (curl), did you see what error message was returned?

Also rather than ftps, have you considered https if all you are doing is downloading?

Mike, it sounds like your FTP is just now failing and that using the ftps://... was working for you.

When using ftps we use curl and it, to the best of my knowledge, supports TLS 1.1 and 1.2.

The fact that filezilla is asking you about the certificate however is unusual.  TLS (like SSL before it) was designed to silently validate and accept certificates without user intervention.  I question why filezilla would ask you to accept their certificate, unless the certificate itself is invalid.

As we discussed at the last DIreXions, there are many reasons for a certificate to be invalid.  The most common one we run across is that the certificate has expired.  Basically when you get a certificate it comes with an expiry date and after that date the certificate will not be accepted.

Another possible issue is that the certificate cannot be or can no longer be trusted.  This recently has come to the forefront with both Chrome and Firefox canceling their trust of certificates issued by Symantec.

I would suggest you see if you can determine why filezilla is asking you to manually accept their certificate as, if it has expired or was from Symantec, it may explain why *web/ftp is no longer working for you and won't until the host replaces their certificate.

Nomads / Re: Customized Tab Sequencing in Folder

James -- I exported from PxPlus 2018 so you need to import into 2018.

However I have attached a zip of the file to make it easier.

The variable REPLACEMENT_FOLDER$ should be set top the name of the panel which is to replace the current folder.

I have attached a sample export of a panel library that demonstrates what I am describing relative to using REPLACEMENT_FOLDER.  You should be able to import this into a library and then run the DEMO panel.

Whoops -- should have mentioned; 

When setting the text for the Radio button make sure you include a Bitmap as in "{!xxx}Invoices" to force the radio buttons to look like normal buttons.  If you don't want actual bitmaps just include {} in front of the text.

Why not control the Tabs yourself?

Basically create the container panel with a folder set as tabless.  Define one panel in it to be the default to be displayed.

Add a series of radio buttons across the top of this panel above the tabless folder. For each button set the text to be an expression such as TAB_1$, TAB_2$, .. and set the on press logic for the radio buttons to REPLACEMENT_FOLDER$=EVS("FLDR_"+STR(rb_value)+"$")

Now when the container panel is loaded have the pre-display logic load the values into TAB_1$/FLDR_1$ ... based on the userid and their desired tabs and tab order.  In the Post_display logic set REPLACEMENT_FOLDER$ to FLDR_1$ and hide any unused buttons.

You can add a extra button(s) to the right/left of the radio buttons should you want/need to provide the ability to scroll the list of folders.  Pressing on these buttons simply loads a different set of text and FLDR_nnn$ values.

With a little tweaking you should be able to come up with a fully dynamic folder style display that will allow you to specify your own list of folders and order by user.

Hopefully you were able to figure out what was failing.  If not please contact our support department and they should be able to assist you.

ODBC / Re: ODBC 5.20 32bit
« on: December 19, 2018, 06:38:32 PM »
Just to be sure you are running the correct ODBC Admin -- the shortcut runs:

%windir%\syswow64\odbcad32.exe

And the title bar of the Windows reads:

ODBC Data Source Administration (32-bit)

Programming / Re: GET_FILE_BOX WindX vs local desktop
« on: December 17, 2018, 10:31:09 AM »
Mike,

Regarding your First post:

The pathname passed as the first parameter to the GET_FILE_BOX command should be the default file name, and the second should be the starting directory.  Our File selector is a bit more forgiving and allowed you to pass a directory.

Regarding your second post and the difference between running locally and thru WindX:

When running locally we use the windows built-in File explorer.  Only when running on WindX do we use our own file section display and only there can we restrict the user.  Basically there is little advantage using the restricted file selector when running locally since the user can simply open the Windows File Explorer directly from the Start button or task bar and access any file on the system exclusive of Windows own security.

Now if you want to use the restricted file selection utility you can directly issue a CALL "[lcl]*plus/winutl/get_file_box" passing it the same arguments, but as I said above there is little to be gained if the purpose is to restrict access.

As for the type of slash, when opening files we generally will allow either forward or back slashes on Windows, the OS calls do require you to pass the correct delimiter.

You probably should submit a help desk ticket regarding this issue, however folder tabs defined in your Nomads panels should work.  We have clients using this functionality none of whom who reported any problems. 

If you are manually adding tabs in your code or invoking the *obj/Folder object, then you may have issues.  Dynamically created folders are not supported within iNomads due to the nature of the panel->HTML conversion where folder regions and tabs need to be created up-front during the panel initialization process.

If however your folders are defined in the Nomads panel they should work fine.

Nomads / Re: Centering in a query
« on: December 06, 2018, 02:09:34 PM »
There is not really any way to do this in the older query which was why we added this capability (along with others) to the Query+ logic in PxPlus 2018.

Likely you need to upgrade to the newer product or optionally you could develop your own query screen(s) for those instances where centering is desirable.

Programming / Re: Field Force development
« on: December 05, 2018, 10:46:15 AM »
There are a couple of methods you could use to do this.  Determining the easiest will depend on your applications.

Fundamentally you need to intercept the data just prior the file update (pre-WRITE) and make sure the fields are needed. 

Now if you are using the standard Nomads File Maintenance utilities you can create an interface program which can be PERFORMed before the write at the entry point FM_PRE_WRITE.  It it wants to cancel the write due to missing data it simply sets _IF_ERR$ to the message to display.

Nomads / Re: Secondary Monitor Timing
« on: December 05, 2018, 10:29:41 AM »
There have been a number of Internet posts lately about Windows 10 performance issues related to out-of-date video drivers.

You might want to see if your video driver(s) need updating and if that solves the issue. 

From PxPlus perspective there is no difference when using a second monitor other than the pixel addresses.

Nomads / Re: Maximized Panels
« on: December 05, 2018, 10:25:49 AM »
This seems to work for me.

I just tried dragging a Nomads panel to my secondary screen (to the right of the primary) and maximized it.  I then shut everything down and restarted.  The next time the panel was invoked it returned to the secondary screen maximized as expected.  I also tried this after switching the position of my secondary monitor to make it on the left of the primary (thus at negative pixel offsets).

I suspect it may be something in your winpnl.

If you are referring to our RSS feed, my Outlook 2010 is working as are my Android app and other programs that access the feed.

A quick search on the web shows a number of people having reported problems with RSS feeds and Outlook 2016.  You may want to check there to see if any of the solutions they have found will resolve your issue.
