Secure Web App Items

Can you secure the content on a page without securing the page itself? i.e. Web app items on page are visible but you cannot download web app items without logging in.

Thanks Liam. I have a separate issue & I think you may be the only one that can answer this... Using Web Apps Input Form, visitors can upload file attachments (Upload a Resource). Please see: http://www.unihub.co.nz/econ-101/econ-101 In the case of images, we require a link to the image download (Resources) as is the case with other file attachments such as Word Documents, rather than displaying the image itself. I haven't been able to find a way to do this. Do you know if this is possible please? Or, another solution would be to re-size the image.

Web app item lists in secure zones

I have a single web app, and I'm trying to distribute secured web apps items across the different secure zones a customer may be logged into.
For example, Customer A is a member of Secure Zone 1, which contains the secured web app items X, Y, Z
Customer B is a member of Secure Zone 2, which contains the secured web app items U, V, W
What I've discovered is that both customers can see all web app items (U V W X Y Z) in the list view layout, but clicking to view the detail of an item not in their secure zone will prompt them to log in.
Is that correct? If I SECURE an item by putting it in a secure zone, I don't expect it to show up in a list for a customer that is not a member of that secure zone.

Your understanding of how BC works is correct. Only the details page will respect your secure zone setting.
To achieve what you need, the page that holds the list of items would have to be secured in the proper zone, and you would need to fileter the list output by category, perhaps setup a category to mirror each of your secure zones.
An extension to that which would allow you to have a single output page would be to ajax in the list view output, and pull that from the specific page based on the users secure zone. You can get the names of the users secure zones using a builtin BC tag {module_subscriptions}

Multiple users, using the same web app items?

Iam building a service for familes were the parents should be able to read / add / edit the same secure web app items.
So when logged in the user have access to the same user submitted web app items.
I found a thread answerd by Liam and my guess this is not possible? Can it be partial be done e.g. just let the "family" read the familys items? And no there is not possible to add / pair the users in backend because there are to many.
Any tip where to look? I have tried to use the "uniqe ID, datasource, unique template" method but do you "wizards" :-) think that's the way to go?
This thread suggest it's not doable.

Not in association Johan no.
You can have one "Family" login they all use to log in but it will kick one out if the other logs in and of course, multiple people sharing the same login increases the security risk.
You can only set one owner as well.

Set Disable or Expiry Date for web app item via Edit form

I have a user that wants to delete a web app item from a secure zone edit form, but they are not the owner of that web app item. All items in the web app were imported via a csv file and hence do not have a 'submitted by' user id assigned.
Is it possible to Disable a web app item using a web app Edit form? or alternatively, is it possible to set the Expiry Date of a web app item using a web app Edit form?
Thanks

Sorry Brian, but I'm not sure that answers my question.
Sure, I can create a single web app item for every single client of my customer, manually.
Sure, I can create and 'allocate' that single web app item to each customer manually.
I pray the customer doesn't have hundreds of clients. And I would have to teach my customer how to do this convoluted process for every new client.
But the one thing this doesn't do is answer the question of updating the value of units held.
It seems the order module remains the closes to what I am looking for in that it allows an equation, and is automatically customer specific.
However, I am looking for a way to achieve a single daily update by the customer as to the value of the units held by each client. This can be done via the product module - update price. But this does not update existing orders. Exisitng orders are fixed at the price on the day. The customer wants to update the value once, in one place, and have that amend all existing 'orders' to reflect the new total value of units held by each individual client, and to have this show in each client's member area.
If you can think of a way of doing this in webapps or via the order module, this is what I am looking for. Anyone?

How to link web app item to different URL other than detail page

Hi, this is probably a bit of a stupid question but I can't find the answer anywhere. On my site, I have projects set up as web apps--I want the customer to be able to click on the title or image for the web app and for it to link to a PDF or blog page, NOT the detail view.
So I want the app title and image to link to a different URL, not detail view.
Here's the page in question, if that helps: http://sherrihaab.businesscatalyst.com/projects
Thanks in advance for any help.

{tag_name_nolink} - Will make the title with no link wrapped around it
{tag_yourimagefield_value} - Will give you the raw source of the file location
You can then form your own image html and links wrapping this and the web app item name text.
To form the link source to go to - create a text custom field and just type or copy and paste a url into that field.

How to sort web app items based on few fields of it on search result page?

I have a web app and its search. The search results are on multiple pages means it has pagination. My client's requirement is to have a feature which will sort results based on some web app items. for example we have a field price so when user select the price it needs to sort from high to low. Any one have idea how to do it?

I have just been playing around with this for something else, all you need to do is duplicate your price field into the weighting field and it will automatically sort from High to low for you.

Unable to create web app items if Proximity Search is Enabled.

I am using BC API to create web app items because I am getting the data from a third party website and wanted to save the data into web app by using BC API. I have a web app ( Name: "Map Overview" ) and the proximity search is enabled. When I test my script I got 404 bad request error but if I disabled the Proximity Search the item is created.
Can someone help me on this?
Thanks

Let me know the page you are running the API call on, I'll have a look and see what gives.

How can I link a web app item to another via Next link

I would like to add a next link and previous link on a web app detail layout. Then people can scroll through the detail layout items without going back to the list view.
I'm creating a portfolio with a description of the project details and links to external websites. There is no tag for that purpose.
Any suggestions? I'm a bit new at custom web apps and editing the layouts with css.

Hi,
you would have to create 2 additional custom fields as text (string) field types and name them something like, "next item url" and "prev item url". Then you would have to enter the next and previous item url manually for each individual web app item. You can include the new tags in the detail view, something like <a href="{tag_prev item url}">Prev</a> and <a href="{tag_next item url}">Next</a>.
Hope that helps.

Web App Items Slideshow with automated transistion.

Hello everyone. I have been looking for a solution to have web app items within a specific category display in the same manner that a slideshow or slider would AND be able to automatically change from month to month using the expiry dates.
Basically I want a slideshow hero built out of web app items (instead of images) within a certain category. Any suggestions as to how to accomplish this with some control over the speed of the slideshow?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
REFERENCES:
http://laffnetorg.businesscatalyst.com/index.html
The 2nd section that contains "the jambalaya festival". The items are built but how do I make those items display in a slideshow manner?

Not really, its just been asked a lot on these forums and sollutions given, I think your the third on the same thing in a week and people just find it hard to reply to the same thing more then once
As with others its a combination of your web app layouts, javascript (jQuery prefered) and CSS. You have to do the coding, use plugins such as jQuery Cycle 2.

How would you limit the number of Web App items a user can enter.

I am creating a web app where people can list objects/items. I want to offer plans that will enable users to enter up to a predefined number of entries and no more than what they paid to enter. They can then come back as often as they wish during their subscription period to update, create, and/or delete entries ( but again, never more than what thier subscription entitles them ).
Fore sake of illustration.
User Plan 1 entitles user to enter 1 web app item,
while
User Plan 2 entitle user to enter 3 web app items, and
User Plan 3 entitles user to enter 5 web app items.
These are annual plans.
Any ideas?

Hi,
As per your query you can not define to any user for schedule selected background jobs. I hope you are clear for this.

Is the "Display list of web app items submitted by a user" feature not available in the free trial?

Is the "Display list of web app items submitted by a user" feature not available in the free trial? I can see it in the tutorials but its not available when I am logged in.

Its just named a little differently now. You should be able to add the module {module_webappscustomer} through the Modules toolbox in the web page editor window, as indicated below. Please note that webapps feature is available only for webCommerce sites.

How to add descriptions to web app items?

How do I add metta data (keywords and descriptions) to my web app items? Do I need to create them as additional custom fields?
Any help would be appreciated.

It's ok, I worked it out. You just add another field - meta description and add the following code to the detail template:
<html>
    <head>
        <title>{tag_name}</title>
        <meta name="description" content="{tag_meta description}" />
        <meta content="{tag_name}" property="og:title" />
        <meta content="{tag_meta description}" property="og:description" />
    </head>
    <body>
       <h1>{tag_name}</h1>
        <p>{tag_description}</p>
    </body>
</html>

Is it possible to automate the export of web app items?

I can see that it is possible to export web app items to csv manually. I was wondering if there was anyway of automating this?

Hi,
Seems like all my answers to you is no or not possible.
I'm afraid this is no different as you'll need to trigger export manually for web apps items.
Kind regards,

What is the best way is to create a web app item collection which will contain only the listings where addressstate="ABC".

How many systems have you used Robert?
This is the only system you can not have all item data at least in JSON format and all of it. Big commerce has a lower limit and as I have said in every post related to a limit - I understand the function, but you can still make the requests as just one example (front and back)
Same with API Robert.
Firstly - the SOAP API request on say products gets you ALL the products, if you do something through a REST API request you can make the requests to get all the items to complete your process of what your doing - You have to otherwise the API is pointless.
Ok if the normal modules can not iterate through if there is a module_data solution, and web apps will get there hopefully sooner then later and you do have the sql query (where) for your filter which is great BUT, if you want to implement a solution across everything you cant do that with the liquid implementation.
This also flows through to the JSON everywhere in concept which is fundamentally flawed for the same reason... And again referring other like services where a hard API has a limit but the JSON request returns everything.
How those work varies from the method of request, some will only update every day, xxx time (Depending on cost of the plan) so its a cached version of data, to the ones that limit that request to x number of times per set time/day.
That is how the actual rest of the world works, varied solutions but they are solutions. BC know they have a few limitations, there clearly is the need for things, there are a varied set of options... It is just a matter of engaging in it and offering up a solution for it, silence just creates frustration.
