If you modify Copied code, it can be replaced at any time by source code
If you modify Source code, you need to copy it again using FAA - by default, FAA detects differences and copies what has changed
I think my issues are more basic than you might think.
Let me give you a scenario.
I have my test project up and running. It has one form one table. I need to add a field to my table and a textbox to my form.
My test project resides on my desktop in a folder.
There is also a test project located on my root directory that FIC created during the FAA process.
Do I open the test project on my desktop and modify the form from there?
If I open the test project from my root drive, there are no forms included in the project, so do I modify the form directly, or go back to my desktop?
After I make my modifications, what are my options for making my changes active.
I am just getting started, so I am learning the rudiments and trying to think through the processes i will be going through in the future.
Thanks, Steve
Hi Steve
Two mode of change in HTML:
1) Each change on a VFP form need regenerating the awdefaultall.css. If you don't make that HTML page does not reflect the change. (To make that you under FIC/VFP run the xxxTest.prg with .T. to regenerate the CSS)
2) If you want to have different permanent look of an object on the HTML page than the HTML object look generate by FIC, you must change the CSS style of the object into the xxx.CSS file. Because the CSS is load after awDefaultAll.css, you will see on the HTML the styles that are include in the xxx.CSS.

Regarding; if you need to change aspect of your form (most probably), you can implement your CSS 'extensions' in xxx.css, based on the classes and ids you'll find in awDefault*.css.
can you go into more detail. For instance if I want to make changes to one of my forms in my project. Do I need to analyze and adapt again? or do I just publish.
For example, right now, If I change one of my forms, I am running adapt/analyze/publish then adding the Set path to my xxxsets.prg program so that it can find my forms.
Thanks, steve

if you want to process some event by javascript, see inherited event code.
if you really need some specific HTML, you can implement it in *.wcHTMLgen(), at object or class level.
this.wcHTML = 'HTML you need'
documentation is mainly in FAA and code inherited from aw.vcx!*
The button also had the code set path to .....additive in it.
I noticed the FAA recommended moving that code. Since It was already in my sets.prg I just removed it and it started working. So it was just a path issue.
So for LAN mode I am keeping a main.prg for my app and for web mode, I just remove that program before FAA.
Thanks for the help, I will try your other suggestions soon regarding the studio.
I have a development question. Once I get the foxpro web portion functioning properly and I want to modify the HTML of the web pages, will I have to save separate versions of my changes.
For instance If I re run FAA won't all my HTML changes get overwritten?
Can I make modifications without stopping and restarting the web server/Studio. Right now if I try to make changes, I get an unable to access message.
Is there some more in depth documentation I need to read to catch up on these concepts?
Steve
did you adapt form1.scx?
what code do you have in form1.cmd.Click()?
in xxxServer.prg!xxxProcess, you should have:
procedure form1
this.wFormStandardPage('form1.scx') && not 'form1_scx'
I must be missing some key concept here. I am just getting started with FIC and I am trying to put together a demo for my boss so that I can show him what I could do with FIC in our environment.
I created a basic form with two buttons.
Each button is intended to launch another form.
The code in the button is just a simple DO FORM 'FORM2.scx'
it works fine in LAN mode. But when I try to press the button in web mode, nothing happens.
Also after I launch the main form a couple times I begin to get his error;
/!\ Site 'FoxInCloud App' - Elizprocess.wformstandardpage() - Awajax.forminitsave() - Awapphost.formlaunch(tcForm: 'form1_scx', tlSubForm: .F., m.tcSuffix: '') - A form previously instantiated bares the same name: "form1_scx"
Also, I am still not able to use the studio to launch the webserver engine. I have to go through the FAA and publish each time.
Thanks, steve
