KitCAD – Developers blog

Uploaded and Released KitCAD i3 KGC rX lt; a version without the need of PHP or CGI/PL files to reload or save KP2 files. Files are saved and reloaded by end-user text copy/paste methods where upon the end-user is responsible for storage of information within a end-user managed filing format of their choosing (such as an open office writer document or simple text file).

To access downloads, see comment/s.

The only difference from other versions of rX is that the lt version (The initials of ‘lt‘ being a shortened reference of the word light) has the following code block inserted at start of the _r5en.js file to alter the interface as required.

/*start of workaround that allows for standalone page on apache, iis, nginx, analogx and so many other servers*/
var rXofflineandroidmodeEnable=true; var rXofflineandroidmodelimittestcounter=0; function rXofflineandroidmode(){try{rXonLineTestEnable=false;rXonLineTest_=rXonLineTestEnable;rXinit="file:";document_location_protocol=rXinit;rXinitandroid=true;rXandroid=rXinitandroid;rX=false;}catch(e){}
try{document.getElementById('ToolbarNew').setAttribute("onclick","return ToolbarNewClickWrapper(event, $('#ToolbarNewSubmitEvent').get(0), 'ToolbarNew_ToolbarNewClick', ToolbarNewJSClickspecial)");}catch(e){}
try{document.getElementById('ToolbarQuote').setAttribute("onclick","return ToolbarQuoteClickWrapper(event, $('#ToolbarQuoteSubmitEvent').get(0), 'ToolbarQuote_ToolbarQuoteClick', ToolbarQuoteJSClickspecial)");}catch(e){}
try{document.getElementById('ToolbarRender').setAttribute("onclick","return ToolbarRenderClickWrapper(event, $('#ToolbarRenderSubmitEvent').get(0), 'ToolbarRender_ToolbarRenderClick', ToolbarRenderJSClickspecial)");}catch(e){}
if(rXofflineandroidmodelimittestcounter!=30){rXofflineandroidmodelimittestcounter=(rXofflineandroidmodelimittestcounter*1)+1;setTimeout('rXofflineandroidmode()',1500);}}
function ToolbarNewJSClickspecial(){rXonLineTest_=true;rXinit=document.location.protocol;document_location_protocol=rXinit;ToolbarNewJSClick();setTimeout('rXofflineandroidmode()',8500);}
function ToolbarQuoteJSClickspecial(){rXonLineTest_=true;rXinit=document.location.protocol;document_location_protocol=rXinit;rXinitandroid=false;rXandroid=rXinitandroid;rX=true;ToolbarQuoteJSClick();setTimeout('rXofflineandroidmode()',8500);}
function ToolbarRenderJSClickspecial(){rXonLineTest_=true;rXinit=document.location.protocol;document_location_protocol=rXinit;rXinitandroid=false;rXandroid=rXinitandroid;rX=true;ToolbarRenderJSClick();setTimeout('rXofflineandroidmode()',8500);}
try{if(rXofflineandroidmodeEnable==true){setTimeout('rXofflineandroidmode()',1000);}}catch(e){}
/*end of workaround for standalone page*/

The code above exploits the rX interface features and alters the display to suit the required experience (text only save and loading of KP2 files for example). The features exploited are Online/Offline mode detection, and protocol file: detection. The end-user interaction is set to generate and reload text-only KP2 files by default and upon use of features that require online and protocol http: are given temporary values which allow their function to run to completion (as rX versions and without being in ‘lt’ text-only mode).
