Cantr II Discussion Forum

I finally got the code working for updating if you want it.

Joo..what did you do..it's all different...

*goes searching for a back version*

LOL, well that's why it's called "alpha", Rebma. I mainly posted that so Mac and Linux users as well as those affected by issues with the previous version could use it.

I'm also open to any feedback, if there's something specific you didn't like.

Fixed an issue with multiple monitors in Windows XP (and possibly other operating systems).

Ya.... all it does is sit there in my dock... (I have a mac) Is it supposed to work on macs yet. I have AIR and I am on a G5 Power PC.

I haven't had the opportunity to test it on a Mac yet, so it was supposed to work, but I had no idea whether it did or not. Could you contact by IM or IRC?

I think it's great I only have to login to Cantr when I know there are updates for me. And I love the new look in the alpha. Very Web 2.0.

Perhaps a moot point if you're working on automatic updates, but could you add what version is currently being used? I finally found it in the XML, and then found out it tells you when you try to do an update. So maybe not that important, after all. But you could totally add it in there with credits to the programmer.

I will most probably display the current version once I have automatic updates implented, or possibly before that.

var xmlString = air.NativeApplication.nativeApplication.applicationDescriptor;
var appXml = new DOMParser();
var xmlObject = appXml.parseFromString(xmlString, "text/xml");
var root = xmlObject.getElementsByTagName('application')[0];
lblAppVersion.innerHTML = root.getElementsByTagName("version")[0].firstChild.data;

tada...

Yes, thank you. I was trying to find a reference on that DOMParser, but none of the usual sites had it.

I am downloading the newest link you gave us, hope it works for me!!!

How often does it update to look for activity on Cantr?

(because i just re-logged on and there was activity but it didn't show on Cantr-Spy)

I think joo put a couple minute delay to prevent from crowding the server.

Its nothing horrible unless you NEED CANTR NOW NOW NOW NOW!

Its better then missing events though.

Who DOESN"T need Cantr

NOW NOW NOW NOW!

Hehe. Anyway, good to know. Wasn't sure if it just wasn't working or what.

It updates every 1.5 minutes (90 seconds). I may add a button/menu item to force an immediate update at some point...
