Web App Items added to Web Form on submission

I have a site that allows users to search for and borrow items. All items are in a web app. The idea is that when the user searches items, they can add them to a "Borrow List" and once finished they submit a Web Form that contains a list of their items. It should work in a similar manner to a shopping cart, but there is no payment associated.
How can I get my web app items to feed into a contact form in this way???

Hi Peta,
The only way I can see this done in is to add the web app items to a cookie using JS and then when they go to web form to populate the hidden form field with the values from that cookie. That's the only way to do it unless you want to use the shopping cart functionality.
Cheers,

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
Dave

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?

Link Web App Items to CRM

I'm not sure this is the right place to post a feature request, but hopefully so.
I really wish that when there are Web App items submitted by a customer, that the CRM record for that customer had a direct link to their web app items. If I could have everything I'd ever wished for, I would love the Extend CRM option to give you the ability of extending it with a Web App Form, which I imagine would be a tall order. I'd be happy as a clam if there was simply a tab in the CRM customer view, or even just a link added under the More dropdown.
Alternatively, if extended CRM forms had some of the functionality that is only available in Web Apps, like linking to other apps or modules using Data Source - I'd probably not rely on web apps so much.
Bottom line is that as it is now - if you have a customer who for one reason or another has additional information that's in a web app, it is a very tedious to click from their CRM record over to the web app, then find them in the items, etc. It would be so lovely to just have a simple link to click back and forth between the two.
Cheers

As soon as BC finish the new V3 API's you wont need web app linking.
1. You can have a web form update that updates a persons details including their custom CRM entries. - Already in place.
2. You can use module_data and liquid to render CRM entries (not needing to be logged in) if you want to display people from the CRM on a website.
3. Only thing missing with 2 at this stage is the custom CRM fields, but this will come soon.
In saying this I am also trying to work with BC on a relationship concept to bring BC modules together and more useable.

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.

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.

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.
Thanks,

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.

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.

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. Read more about the available modules and its usage in detail here - http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/134/bc_1345.html?bc-partner#main_Web_App_Modules

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,
