TurboPower FlashFiler 2
Table of contents
1. Introduction
2. Package names
3. Installation
4. FlashFiler Explorer functionality
5. String resources
6. Version history
6.1 Release 2.13
==============================================
1. Introduction
<TODO>
This is a source-only release of TurboPower FlashFiler 2. It includes
designtime and runtime packages for Delphi 3 through 7 and C++Builder
3 through 6.
For help files and a PDF manual, please see the tpflashfiler_docs
package on SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/tpflashfiler).
For precompiled binaries of FlashFiler Server and the other FlashFiler
utilities, please see the tpflashfiler_bin package on SourceForge (
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tpflashfiler).
==============================================
2. Package names
TurboPower FlashFiler 2 package names have the following form:
FF2MKVV.*
|||
||+------ VV VCL version (30=Delphi 3, 35=C++Builder 3, 70=Delphi 7)
|+------- K Kind of package (R=runtime, D=designtime)
+-------- M Product-specific modifier, typically an underscore
For example, the FlashFiler 2 runtime package files for Delphi 7 have
the filename FF2_R70.*.
The runtime package contains the core functionality of the product and
is not installed into the IDE. The designtime package references the
runtime package, registers the components, and contains property
editors used in the IDE.
==============================================
3. Installation
To install TurboPower FlashFiler 2 into your IDE, take the following
steps:
1. Unzip the release files into a directory (e.g., d:\ff2).
2. Start Delphi or C++Builder.
3. Add the source subdirectory (e.g., d:\ff2\source) to the IDE's
library path.
4. Open & compile the runtime package specific to the IDE being
used.
5. Open & install the designtime package specific to the IDE being
used. The IDE should notify you the components have been
installed.
==============================================
4. FlashFiler Explorer functionality
The CSV Import functionality was copyrighted by another party and
permission was given to TurboPower to use the functionality only in
the commercial version of FlashFiler 2.. That functionality has been
removed from the open source distribution of FlashFiler Explorer.
==============================================
5. String resources
Most of FlashFiler's error messages are stored in string resource
files having the extension STR. If you change these files, you must
recompile them using the TurboPower String Resource Manager located at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tpsrmgr
==============================================

TurboPower FlashFiler2 Lazarus port
Used original version:tpflashfiler_2_13 from SourceForge
https://sourceforge.net/projects/tpflashfiler/
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
About
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a Lazarus port of the TurboPower FlashFiler Database.
I used the version tpflashfiler_2_13 from SourceForge
(https://sourceforge.net/projects/tpflashfiler/).
Detailed help and documentation files are located there.
More port infos are in sourcelaz\LazConvertReadMe.txt
Port infos are in sourcelaz\LazConvertReadMe.txt
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preparation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Download the server binaries from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/tpflashfiler/files/tpflashfiler/2.13/tpflashfiler_bin.zip/download
and store them in the folder server_files.
Lazaruspackage is in folder packages: lazff2.lpk
Look the image for folderstructre. I zipped only changed files. Other files are located on sourceforge.
In finalversion will be inclued all and published on github/sourceforge/..
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Use package file lazff2.lpk from folder packages.
***
NO MORE BORLAND CODE, It uses now TExprParser from fssql.
sourcelaz\lazdbcommon.pas ->since 2016.05.04: (lazcommon.pas and lazconsts.pas)
sourcelaz\LazDbComSqlTimSt.pas <--- used in lazdbcommon.pas
To disable Delphi units define in ffdefine.inc: (compiles without delphi units)
{$DEFINE DONTUSEDELPHIUNIT} //Disables in ffdb.pas the function TffDataSet.dsCreateLookupFilter
//if it called then it raises exception!
**************
FOR EXAMPLES configure server (flashfiler\bin\ffserver.exe) and
make 2 aliases in [ffserver-Menu > Config > Aliases ... ]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Usage
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.) Start server_files\ffserver.exe
2.) Make 2 db-aliases in ffserver [ffserver-Menu > Config > Aliases ...]
Alias: Path:
mythicdb yourfolder\flashfiler\examples\mythicdb
Tutorial yourfolder\flashfiler\examples
3.) Open FlashFiler Server General Configuration Dialog
[ffserver-Menu > Config > General ...]
4.) In configuration dialog Enter for Server name:
local
then Click Ok.
5.) Now the server "local" appears in Servers listview. Click on it and start it.
6.) Now open any example from examples-folder and compile, run and enjoy it.
Attention: EmbeddedServer-Examples don't work!
THERE IS TEXPRPARSER in:
-JVCL JvExprParser.pas
-TXQuery QExprYacc.pas with MozillaPublicLicense
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
State of the Lazarus port:
10.12.2016: Client components are Working. Server components has error so you need server binaries compiled with delphi.
Have fun!
Soner A.
ToDo:
Solve server components error. The error is located in fflldict.pas-file in procedure TffDataDictionary.ReadFromStream(S : TStream);
It is stream reading error with caused by functions ReadString and ReadInteger.
I could not solve it, maybe someone with better skills can do it.
