Otto,
I'm responsible for a soccer-club. I make the site (
http://www.kaboutersopglabbeek.be)
but behinde it, i made a FW application for the coaches to manage there teams (personel data,team selections, memberdata, ....)
But for this to work, they need the Fw app. on there pc in order to connect to the online database. (mariadb way)
Also, the people with a Mac-pc can't run the fw app.
Therefore i'm folowing the Mod-harbour evolution closely. I've tested some of the samples online (very promising for sure)
until 4/5 okt. i have less time, but then I will try to get 1 part working with Mod.
I'm especialy interested in knowing how it will react on a smartphone !! I have no option that FW will work on a smartphone, but normaly Mod. will work on every device, so that will give options for sure.
As of installation :
For the site, I always upload changed files directly to the online server. Test what I have changed and if it goes bad, i copy the previously file back.
not the right way i know, but it is not a commercial site, so nobody will notice it )))
Installing Apache and more database stuff could solve this, but before Mod H. all this is difficult for non professional users (only hobby from my side)
Now, with Mod H. and the installation process you mentioned (Apache is not needed) all is strongly simplyfied.
I have options on
Win 7 machines
Win 10 machines (and will probably go for the Win 10) because users will update to Win 10)
Regards,
Marc
