Curved Staircases

[jeff hammond]

with 1.0.6 i'm still getting all blank fields and non-functioning drop down menus.. same thing as Andrew above.

ruby console reports:

%(#0000FF)[show 1
loaded 1
cb1 complete
closed 1
show 2
cb1 complete
loaded 2
cb2 complete]

after i push the 'load' button:

%(#0000FF)[loaded 2
cb2 complete]

@ Garry (and Andrew)
see this post ->

this post

[EDIT]not sure why that link isn't going to the direct post.. so scroll down to the end of the page and see the thing about model units

[Garry K]

I now have Stairmaker handling all of the different units.

The problem was with the single quote used for feet '
If you have feet ' and inches " then I had to deal with the single quote.

I have ruby replace the ' with the back tick ` and have the javascript in the web dialog replace it back as each measurement is put into the controls.

I'm now hoping there isn't anything else wrong with the Mac version.

version 1.0.7

1.0.7 is working for me and my template now

[mwm5053]

Still having problems here. I installed 1.0.7 and changed username and password in default txt, on 1st click getting "http error" and clicking again getting "can not reach web server"

[jarynzlesa]

sorry but, have I missed something important?

seems Jeff is the only on one to figure it out

You need to go to my web site and register. An email will be sent to you with your userid and password. Edit the defaults.txt file and put your userid and password in the file. Plugins/GKWare_StaireMaker/Defaults.txt.

http error means the http connection did not complete. I will modify the code to report back the exact error code.

[Garry K]

I've made a change at the server to temporarily allow access for user "User" and password "test". After testing this will be removed. At least it allows you to test without having to update defaults.txt for each version.

I've also made a change to stair maker which will give you back the http error code.

Version 1.0.8

[mwm5053]

Ok so I got the two screen shots to show what I'm getting but after pressing ok with defaults noting happens.

Hi garry

I'm still getting the 'extra' <body''> tag, with 'feet' templates, which prevents the load...
other templates are fine...

You most likely don't see two tags as WebKit always makes tags for any missing or malformed ones.

It doesn't remove the malformed ones, so if they contain js or html control chars, the page will fail to varying degrees...

I cleared my SU cache but sometimes that needs to be done with a restart... will try later

Walt,

It appears there can be many different problems that can cause an http error code 0. In the majority of cases it has to do with configuration. Essentially - the host is unreachable. Some google searches suggest that it is a firewall issue.

Try going to your browser and enter this
cabmaker32.com/stairmaker_service.php

If you can reach the service from the browser you should get back
{"code":-11,"text":"invalid format","token":240583372}

oh.. right. that's a different issue (the whole connecting to a website prior to using a ruby.. I mean, what is someone supposed to do if they're not online while drawing??)

the fix I was talking about had to do with model units

[mwm5053]

@ Garry yes I get {"code":-11,"text":"invalid format","token":240583372}

In Safari

[Garry K]

Jeff have you tried with template of feet?

My plan is to connect to web while in trial. Once a user is licensed then connecting to web site will no longer be necessary.

[Garry K]

John - can you send me a file with the extra tags and the malformed ones.

[driven]

@Walt
what do you get if you paste this in 'Ruby Console'

 status = Sketchup.is_online

@Garry I PM'd them the other day?

yeah.. and i encountered another error with it (using the 2013 template Engineering - Feet

i keeping getting the error 'Tread bullnose must be at least 1/2 of tread thickness'.
the settings i'm using while getting that error are:
Tread Thickness: 0.125' (or 1.5")
Tread Bullnose: 0.083' (or 1")

so the error message isn't corresponding to my settings (if i'm properly understanding the message and settings)

oh.. i see. that sounds good

[Garry K]

Jeff - both the top and bottom of the tread get bullnosed. So you can't bullnose the top with a 1" radius and the bottom with a 1" radius.

In this case the maximum bullnose for a 1.5" tread is 0.75".
