Inserting new media object for individual
I need to insert a new media record at position 1 for selected individuals. As I see it, the brute force method would be to 1) save the existing records 2) delete the existing records 3) add the new record 4) re-add the existing records This should get the job done, but Is there a better way? Thanks

Re: Can't create/update repository field in templated source
Thank you, thank you!
I missed that.
What would I (and all of us) do without you?

Can't create/update repository field in templated source
I have no problem creating/updating other types of fields (like TEXT or DATE). But, for some reason, I can't create/update a repository field. Here's a snippet of code: local pSource = pCite.source local pRepository = SetRepository(pSource, tblFields["RP-Repository"].Value) local sTag = &q...

Re: iupScrollbox woes
Where do you put this code? If I put it right after creating the dialog, it makes a narrow window.

Works. Thank you.
Still, doesn't seem to be a wordwrap option...
Yes, yes, I know... I'm quite demanding.

Re: Help with IUPMATRIX
I was afraid of that. On the surface, it’s so easy to use. But as soon as you want anything useful, it fails.
Oh well, back to gridbox…

Re: Search and Replace Plugin Possible Problem
And on to the next challenge...
I tried to change a series of web links stored in the note for a source record as rich text web links. The plugin did not find them.
Again, could be user error...

Re: Search and Replace Plugin Possible Problem
So, I guess I’ll write a little plugin to fix urls in my sources. I imagine that it will get periodic use. Actually, I’ll probably make it generic so I can fix other source fields if necessary. I’ve got a few other things in mind that need cleaning up.

Re: Search and Replace Plugin Possible Problem
BTW, when I manipulate the value for source fields in my plugins, I'm pretty sure I use the syntax:
'~' .. <field name>
So, I access the url field using:
~UL-URL
Don't know if that helps...

Take all the time you need. It will be nice to fix the urls, but there’s no deadline. I appreciate your effort.

Search and Replace Plugin Possible Problem
I used the plugin to edit URLs to a specific site which changed its format.
URLs in various notes (fact notes, research notes, etc) were updated with no problem.
However, most of my templated sources have a field for URL (of type URL), and these were not touched.
User error?
