Webserver component

[MJU]

I made a webserver with the Flowcode webserver component, this works fine.
In the help-files I see that I can add variables comming from the PIC.

I want to do a simple thing, and therefore I need two answers.
I want to add a counter to my page so I can see how many times the indexpage is viewed.

But, first off all, this counting should be done by keeping the times the socket gets called.
I have a "retval" for the return of the CheckSocketActivity, my guess was that it should be diffrent if there was a request on that socket? All I get are zero's when I call the indexpage. Nothing changes.
Is there a returncode for the CheckSocketActivity part of the macro???

Second: in the help files for the webserver macro it's mentioned that to use a variable in the HTML, I need to define it first?
Is this done with "AddDefine" macro?
If my variable in Flowcode is called "total", how can I get Flowcode to show this in the %total% in HTML?
How can I get Flowcode to know where to look for "total"?

Thanks

Hello

There is a manual on the Webserver / TCP components in Flowcode that may provide some answers to the problems you are having.

The manual can be downloaded from here.

Thank you BenJ, I have this teachers note.
But nowhere it speaks of the webserver component and doesn't mention any of my questions above.

It's a pity that the examples in this teachers note (EB921) aren't available.
Would have like to had it when I bought the Internet Board.

Hello

The examples are all available from the solutions page next to the links for the manuals.

Yes you can do this with the AddDefines component or by clicking on Edit -> Supplementary code.
