Curved Staircases

Walt - all I can think of doing is pulling out the http code and putting it into a very simple rb script ( not scrambled ).

What user ID are you using? If it isn't the default "User" "test" then I will see what my logs show at the web site. We'll see if we made it that far.

John - I looked at my PM messages - I have only received 1 since I put up version 1.0.7 08 Feb 2014, 08:39( which had the feet fix ).

Your last message had to do with the beta version 2014.

@ Garry username is mwm5053. I have been able to Login to website with no problems still getting 101 error after clicking ok web dialogue pops up but clicking ok for default values nothing happens heres a screenshot.

Walt - If you look at the title of the web dialog it is saying "http error 0". Sorry about the confusion. I thought that it would be good to show the web dialog whether you have an error or not? I could change the back ground color from wheat to red or something like that.

The other thing to note is that you may need more accuracy than 1/2" precision to properly draw a stair case. I'm not exactly sure how sketchup handles smaller values than precision.

If you let the defaults.txt file to "User" and "test" and connected then you should see "Testing - temporary status granted"

If you edited defaults.txt file to "mwm5053" and put in the emailed password then you should see "You have 30 days left in trial"

I changed defaults txt back to user / test and precision to 1/64 still get screenshot error

Walt - I went to my web site and took a look. There isn't a single http attempt for user "mwm5053".

I also looked at all of my registered users and there isn't a user "mwm5053" in that file.

You need to go to my web site - CabMaker32.com and click logon and register. You will then receive an email with your password. You can also send me a private message with your email address. I can also look in my user file and see if that email address has been registered under perhaps a different user.

Now thats really weird

@garry k said:

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".

that's what i thought.. you may want to consider changing the wording of the error message then:

'Tread bullnose must be at least 1/2 of tread thickness'

to something along the lines of:
max bullnose is 1/2 tread thickness.

@Garry
it's working in 'feet' Template now...
the cache reset took a couple of goes...

added some info so you can see what I get my end...

Jeff - Good catch. You are correct - the message is worded wrong. I have changed it for the next version.

Garry K

Walt - that is wierd - you normally don't see that screen. The web hosting site has been experiencing hack attacks. Please tell me if you see this screen again.

Garry K

Walt - put this rb into your plugins folder and see what you get.

There will be a menu item under plugins called "Web Dialog Test"

test file

mwm5053

Here's my results.

I wonder what the deal is about my login on your site?

Garry K

Walt - I'm sorry but I can't answer that question. I haven't heard anyone else having that problem. It may have something to do with http configurations on your specific machine.

Maybe someone else can answer it. Perhaps start a new thread on this. Maybe the developer forum will catch some attention.

As you can see - the code isn't doing a whole lot.

mwm5053

@ Garry you're right I installed 1.0.8 rbz on Mac Book Pro and works great with no hitches. Mac Pro (desktop) running SU 8 and Lion and Mac Book Pro (laptop) running SU 8 and Mavericks.

I now have language translation working. There is a folder called translations and currently there are 4 files in it.

en.lang - English
fr.lang - French
ru.lang - Russian
zh.lang - Chineses ( traditional )

Near the top of the defaults.txt file there is a language= section where you can enter the 2 character language code. If you leave the language= blank the system will try to figure out the locale code.

These language files are straight translations and as a result there might be some funny and or inappropriate translations.

Anyone interested in helping out with any language translation can get a hold of me.

A user with a windows 8 machine running SU 2013 has reported an error that I can't duplicate ( I don't have a windows 8 machine )

puts "starting: dialog.execute_script( js_command )"
dialog.execute_script( js_command )

this code doesn't run

puts "finished: dialog.execute_script( js_command )"

it errors out with this

type: mismatch
code: 0
url: file:///C:/Users/Admin/AppData/Local/Temp/skp8C34.tmp

Is there anyone else with a Windows 8 machine running 2013 who would be willing to try this code.

You might want to add .rbz to post or transfer this to plugins forum it's hard to find the file embedded in the middle of topic I can't find maybe I missed it somewhere.
