texte = Here's what I have with a detailed breakdown, and I restated the problem that I'm having:I have made a chatroom based on webcatalog, javascript, and frames. Basically what happens is every five seconds it checks for a new message, or a new user, if it finds one, it refreshes the respective frames. The problem I'm having is that it seems to be very unstable. It will freeze the server once you have a couple people in the chatroom. It is very database intensive, so I'm sure there is alot going on, on the server side. It is being hosted on a Mac, and it's using Web Catalog 3.0. If anyone has any ideas or thoughts as to why I'm having so much trouble, please reply to this message. login screen: [hideif [lookup db=heartsgalore.db&value=[pin]&lookinfield=PIN&returnfield=MyPass1¬found=NotFound]![pword]] [showif [lookup db=[pin]-purchased.db&value=[pin]&lookinfield=PIN&returnfield=PINsPurchased¬found=NotFound]^-member] [search db=chatroom/chatroom.db&recordnosort=1&recordnodir=as&nepinnamedata=12Marklar3][append db=chatroom/userlist.db]user=[pin]&enteredrecordno=[math][numfound]+1[/math][/append][/search] [closedatabase chatroom/chatroom.db] [closedatabase chatroom/userlist.db] [redirect chatroom.tpl?pin2=[pin]] [/showif] [/hideif] [closedatabase heartsgalore.db]
If you think that it's possible you entered your password incorrectly, hit the back button and try again.
That is where the login and pword are both checked, if verified, they are sent to the chatroom...The chatroom is broken into 5 pages.The top frame is static - just the header image and onUnload code to remove the user from the database when they exit the chatroom.The bottom frame is the message entry screen which reloads every time a message is sent from your computer. Here's that code: [text]pin3=[username][/text] [search db=chatroom.db&recordnosort=1&recordnodir=as&nepinnamedata=12Marklar3][append db=chatroom.db]pinname=[username]&message=[msgtxt]&recordno=[math][numfound]+1[/math][/append][/search][closedatabase chatroom.db] In the middle of the screen there are three frames. One reloads every 5 seconds. It checks the two databases for a new quantity, meaning every time a user enters or leaves the chatroom, it notices a difference in number of db entries (Code Below) The other two frames are the user listing, and message listing which contain no WebCat code at all. They are just refreshed whenever they need to be, called by the listed code below That is the meat of the chatroom, hopefully I posted the code that has the error in it, if there is one. I know there's a lot here, but I thank you for taking a look in it. I did take out some of the references to the site that it is hosted on, but the majority is there. Thanks again, jeff ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
