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.

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 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.

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.

How can I pre-populate a web app input form with data from a webform in the CRM?

Scenario:
A customer fills a registration webform. The customers data is stored in BC CRM as usual. This step provides a lead to marketing unit and the team makes a follow up. Upon completion of internal processes. The workflow initiated by this customer filling the registration form is approved.
Th user is sent a 3rd-party notification with a url to enable the user complete the registration process by entering the information into a web app.
The Issue:
The client is requesting that he doesn't want the the customer to re-enter some of the information that has been captured in the registration form again since it will be laborious for the user to do this. He wants the system to store this customer data already in the CRM and pre-fill the web app form so that the user just submit the data, so that the item can be in the appropriate web app as web app item.
Question: Is this possible? Can this be achieved via js. How should I go about it.
Your assistance will be appreciated.
Thanks.

For each option you would need to only have a custom text field for that item. This is where the otpion for each gets populated with javasript.
Each option is your own html that is a select with options as web app items. A list layout of your web app items is just a select with text and value of that item.
Your tricky thing is to setup the matrix of rules to define what shows and when. You can do that with data source association between web apps if it is a 1-1 relationship but if it is 1 to many you need to form script matrix to define what happens on each change.
It depends on the details but thats the core of it.

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.

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.

Is there a web-app item creation limit? Because i have a very slow saving problem and sometimes not working, hanging

Hello,
We run a real estate website on Business Catalyst.
I created around 50 web-app items ( properties ) at the moment without problems.
But now it starts to slow down, when i trie to save the web -app item, the save preload keeps running ( hanging ) at 50 procent of the time.
It is also hard to scroll true my web-app item pages, also hanging problem.
Does anyone have / had a simular problem?
Stefan.

We experience big performance problems with BC's v3 interface ever since they switched to Amazon last December. You are lucky if it's only slow uploading, we, meaning our clients and us, experiencing very often the editor timing out when saving or uploading, the wheel of death starts turning and does not stop. It does not happen with the development editor or sftp.
We have opened several tickets but the BC support is absolutely useless, they always reply that they could not replicate the issue.
Our clients and us are completely fed up with this issue, sometimes losing your work, sometimes just being unable to get it done, but BC does not seem to get this under control, or they put the EU data center on a low cost backbone....
If anyone has a solution, we gladly take it!

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.

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.

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,
Mihai

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.

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.
