I am completely and incredibly amazed that people are still buying this software
I use it DAILY and love it, but I stopped upgrading after version 6
Go back to when version 7 was released and you will see ALL the same posts

This company has proved they do not care about their product
Only their bottom line, let’s put out a new version our forum will increase
What do they say, "There is no such thing as bad press "

I hope and pray a real company will buy them someday

Version 6 last useable release

@itsme3 not works dear! the read-only field can not be changed in edit mode, that’s fine; but in add new record mode can be entered, which is wrong…

#103

ok, lets sort it out, you have single record form, when making it as label = Yes, then in insert mode is just blank! i don’t have even a box shape… insert mode = no value, that works ok for me

when in edit mode, i used “read only” from Edit fields… and it works fine… it gives the field value as non-editable, just text withe correct value… ty removing the label field option, and keep only the read-only from edit field

do you have the latest version 004? did i understand your issue correctly? because in muliple-records form is also working, but when used as read-only or label field in insert mode, it does show a box border around the field but also not editable…

#104

Error using UNION,

I have :

  • Data Type “Select”
  • Lookup Settings -> SQL Select Statement using UNION
  • it work well after compiling

But, If we use “Ajax Processing - Events onChange” to pass parameters to next Data Type “Select”, the data show nothing, only “loading process”…

need Solution…or is this a bug ?

#105

SC8 Bugs quick search not working with SQL type -> text

Quick search not working properly
For example if I select one or two fields for quick search in ‘Search/Quick search/Select fields’, if sql type of fields is text, the quick search box disappears from the toolbar of grid application.
If I change in MySQL type of fields to VARCHAR and I create a new grid application and the app see now the fields like VARCHAR the quick search is working. The problem is that all my projects has fields text and in sc7 quick search worked ok with text.

I did some tests and I think is an error in scriptcase

#106

Yes, but a design issue too … If you have fields with <= 255 chars you should use VARCHAR / CHAR, not TEXT. This fieldtype use only with fields > 255 chars.

#107

Yes you are right, but the problem remains for text fields and I have some fields that are > 255 chars and I need to be included in quick search.

#109

After updating to 8.00.0005 Toolbar buttons gone for the forms which has sc_apl_conf start new? Please fix it emergency basis. You’re wasting our time it should not be. You should check the quality before releasing any update.

Let’s try to request for meeting with Marcia and somebody from DevTeam. We bought SC and bugs should be corrected asap. We shouldn’t use our pool of free tickets (pay Support) to reports their bugs! It’s amazing; wtf? I reported many bugs on forum, by mail - directly to the support and I haven’t answer. Its like a black hole. If situation will not change I am going to create website on few domains “Don’t buy SC - bugs story”. I have few clients where I provided SC apps for their, and now I couldn’t step forward with new functionality due to the reported bugs. So client’s can’t pay me etc… I think that many of us have the same situation. I spent more time to find workaround than when I used classical line by line programming with frameworks… I haven’t more time when I am using SC. This should be changes. Let’s discuss this on meeting with Marcia. Maybe Netmake’s marketing Team don’t know about community problems, because as I know, nobody from Netmake business haven’t account on forum. What do you think?

Database Builder: Long Table Names in the left space overwrite right workspace (actions, fields, indexes, data…) and clic in overwriten items in the right work area is not possible.

It’s a long time history. Their politics is Dev team reads forum, but don’t answer. John L answers rarely some post, but he does.
Bartho is responsible to be the bridge between community and NetMake. But he just report to DevTeam, without status coming back.

I know they have an internal bug tracker, but it’s not public. Bugs are reported from Bartho from forums, and from bugs@scriptcase.net (or bug, don’t remember). And the main problem is this. They are not public. For this, we have an 11 page thread (and others threads), probably with repeated bugs, because anybody will read the whole thread from the start. Bugs comes to DevTeam (I suppose), but because there aren’t any way to community to see the status (or existence) all is repeat and repeat. Maybe a bug is reported, and team is hard working on solving it, but we don’t know this.

The fact thath Netmake Team invites to contact support as Trial user, shows thath something don’t works. Maybe the support model is not working as expected, don’t know. And I insist, SC community is good, they just have to open their minds to receive some kind of help from us.

I reported some posts of this thread to NetMake, and I know my complain was received by Support Manager. This means something? Don’t know. Don’t know if they will do something about this situation. I offer them my help … free. Just didn’t get any answer about this. I created a closed Partners group, to partners discuss situations and act as a group with NetMake to improve. NetMake team is inside this group. Only I write in this group.

Just my 2 cents.

EDITED:::

Said thath, Obviously NetMake don’t wants a soft thath fails (and I’m sure they care about the product), and they want a fully success with the product, but they need to change some things to get this done.

#113

@Giu, this is fully true unfortunately. Had loads of discussions with Carlos and Marcia regarding this. They seem to agree, but somehow they cannot get their management cooperative in this. Same issue for beta testing. I had it all aranged (with Jamie and Reinhart) and was just waiting for cvs and licences. It was promissed but it never happened. And know what? I doubt if it will ever change. But I keep on trying.

#114

Remember to enter to the Google+ Group :stuck_out_tongue:

#115

Giu, where is the G+ group? or any other place that we need them to read at least what is written in this very post!!

one more time guys, any luck of someone tell me how to remove this stupid dummy thing? use totalization is set to NO, all other settings are ok, but this keep showing as statue, can’t be removed, doesn’t work and just laying there do nothing!!

one more thing noticed, in Advanced Search, the field Integer never align to left, the CSS input i mean, tried all options, never got it align to left, ONLY right!! strange huh!? nothing strange with SC, smile guys

It’s the closed group for partners itsme3

And i did enter? Or went something wrong?

#119

Good morning Giu,

Then there is work coming for us as poor normal users, we should still be optimistic :slight_smile:

Remember, increasing the ways of communication and making multiple places for documentation/follow up will eventually make it even harder to maintain, a single bug tracker with few moderators, and robust site map at scriptcase.net along with merging all text-based examples in the abandoned knowlegebse, it will make all this central place for information as we discussed in this post and other posts last few days…

I believe (personal opinion) that scriptcase.net can have such structure:

Scriptcase
Features + News
eLearning >>
-> FAQ
-> Samples
-> Knowlegebase
-> Videos
-> Webinars
-> Code Examples
Support
-> Official support (Ticketing, they use kayako obviously - paid support)
-> Forums
-> Suggestions portal
-> BUG TRACKER
Download
Buy Now
About the company
-> List official email channels or at least modify existing form and have a drop-down list to select to which department wanna send?
-> List of employees email addresses if they like
SC on social media (or individual links)

Notes:

  • Blog and articles are not needed now adays, facebook can cover that, and meanwhile will create a point of others to see them, because they are considered as updated/regular updata-ble information

  • In code examples, Albert and Giu along with your “partners G+ group”…etc. there are many different places that have multiple piece of information here and there, i remember that i found “mini outdated libraries” when first started exploring SC, especially Mr Albert’s private site, has has done perfect job there, but also -as you said Giu- he is alone, and this will benefit all SC users, things should be combined and organized well centrally, yet single way of communication with help of users to vote, test and advise will be very helpful and business promising

  • Although, Forums are great for discussion, take for example this little scenario…how many bugs reported in this thread, who cared? what happens/happens? even if they do, we don’t know, we just see our SC gives alert to update it, after “manual” update (auto update worked with me only once during the last 5 months) but what is new? nobody knows, check your reported bugs, see, wallah! nothing changed :frowning:

Conclusion: Forum threads are not suitable place for bugs, it can make perfect discussion and collect ideas, yet needed work after that!! development team should be involved more with users, but, a lot of talk/long discussion -like me- will not help them either, so a CHANGE is required to make things go smooth, otherwise, SC will get more negatives than positives in the near future, even-though, if they are working hard to make things better, but keeping us totally in the dark, that is something!

And my name is Mike, we have been together for months now, its correct i have bad habit to write long stuff, but believe me i dont know how to summarize as Aducom Albert does, and SC summary is not functioning well with me loool have a nice day :slight_smile:

ADD
single record form
on mobile, sc_redir does NOT work, no action or response after clicking add (working ok on desktop)
on mobile, on update “save” button no response at all, nothing being saved (working ok on desktop)
by the way, group buttons on mobile never opened, using galaxy s5 and iPhone 5 tested both, same crap, however, adding individual buttons will work on desktop but never on mobile, seems like clicking on a wall, visually seems to be clicked, but nothing happens
