NetTalk 5 interim / test builds

NetTalk 5 builds are starting to flow internally and we want to make them available to the other NetTalk developers. We have a reasonably high level of confidence in the code, and are not expecting any major issues. The most likely issues surround the use of CSS so your site _may_ look slightly different. However if/when any issues arise we'll work through them with you. Bugs, and especially regressions, will obviously have a very high priority and will likely be fixed within 1 working day.

At the moment documentation specific to NT5 is scare, and the primary reason NT5 is still a "pre-release". We expect docs, especially any docs surrounding the upgrade process (if necessary) to be along shortly. Docs around the new features (multi-site, php etc) are also expected shortly.

** NOTE - The web folder is considerably updated, especially the Images, Styles and Scripts folders. You will probably want to take this opportunity to clean out your existing folders. ***

Can NetTalk 4 and NetTalk 5 Co-Exist?

Installation is "over the top" of NetTalk 4. So it behaves just like a normal NetTalk 4 update. NT4 and NT5 cannot both co-exist in the same clarion install. So if you need both you'll need to copy your whole Clarion folder, and then rename the folders when you want to go from one to the other.

What's new in NetTalk 5?

• Integrated support for jQuery javascript framework and styles.
• Support for PHP pages (requires OddJob) *** (see PHP notes lower down ***)
• Multi-Site Host program allows multiple HTTP sites to share the same IP/Port

5.00 pre-release 9

KNOWN ISSUES

• small buttons in browses, with an icon but no text, are currently wider than they need to be. I'm working on a technique that makes them smaller, but works in all browsers. The current technique (which I've removed) is not compatible with IE. This applies to lookup buttons on a form as well.

• In IE (only) Submit buttons on a browse are not converted to a jQuery button, but remain with the "normal button" look.

Notes;

• The only known "common" change you will need to make to a web server app is around the CSS style for the footer. I recommend 'nt-width-100 adiv' for now, although this will likely change at some point.

• For jQuery buttons: If you've added "Other" buttons to a browse, then remove the 'SmallButton' class from those browse buttons. The default style for all "other" buttons in the app can now be set globally (in the WebServer / Styles / Browse tab). You can also set the "Use JavaScript Styled Button" for browse, and form buttons.

NetTalk 5 is a "paid for" upgrade to NetTalk 4. If you purchased NetTalk after 1 Jan 2009 then you're entitled to a free upgrade to NT5. If you purchased NT before 1 Jan 2009 then you can upgrade by clicking here. If you don't have a copy of NetTalk at all then you can purchase a new copy here.

Why is there an upgrade price? Well it's been almost 4 years since NetTalk 4 shipped, and we've done dozens of free updates during that time. An enormous amount of functionality has been added. However we are a business, and to make sure that NetTalk continues to be developed, it has to have an income stream.

We will continue to support NetTalk 4, recompiling it for Clarion builds where necessary. However we won't be adding new features to NetTalk 4.

PHP Notes

As noted above, docs are a bit thin. But here are a couple tips that will probably get you going a bit quicker if you're making PHP pages / sites.

a) PHP _really_ doesn't seem to like long paths, so the PHP (58) example will almost certainly not run unless you move it somewhere a lot shorter. like, c:\netphp\whatever or something like that.

b) PHP support requires an extra folder as a SIBLING of the web folder, called PHP. At the moment the only place you'll find this folder is in the PHP (58) example.
