Hey dear community,

We have updated our appdrag-cloudbackend NPM package to allow parametrized SQL queries.

If you want to compose the SQL query by yourself with input parameters you must escape the user inputs to avoid SQL injection with cloudbackend.escape() like this:

cloudbackend.sqlSelect("SELECT * FROM Products WHERE category = '" + cloudbackend.escape( event.POST.category ) + "'")
.then( function(response) {
	console.log(response);
});

But there is now a better way with parametrized queries, You can use ? characters as placeholders for values you would like to have escaped. Multiple placeholders are mapped to values in the same order as passed.

cloudbackend.sqlSelect('SELECT * FROM Products WHERE category = ? and id > ?', ["Software", 500])
.then( function(response) {
	console.log(response);
});

You can check the full documentation on NPM:

Hey Pierre,

your issue is coming from "-" in table name ... it's a forbidden character with MySQL ...
Internally we do have a trick to be able to use it but it's really not recommended ... you will have to backtick the table name everywhere in your queries because of this...

My advice, follow best pratices a just don't use forbidden characters in your table names

Hello,

AppDrag migrates its one to one support to a general community. We aim to provide high-quality answers available to everyone. After some time we would have a strong questions/answers database bringing a lot of value to our users to build their web applications with confidence. We also want to create a dynamic community to improve the platform and our reactivity to build and fix things based on what you as website builders really need.

Here are the 3 main rules to respect when asking a support question on the board:

• Don’t post until you’ve searched the Community for the answer first

• When posting, provide as much information as possible so that your problem can be fully and clearly understood. You can include an appID, link, screenshot, detailed description, etc.

• Be respectful of all AppDragers! Keep it really civil so that we can make the AppDrag community of builders as embracing, positive and inspiring as possible.

Don’t forget that if you want somebody else to consult on or develop your AppDrag solution for you, we can provide you with paid support or connect you with one of our certified partners.

Hey dear community,
We worked hard to improve appdrag documentation with more content, use cases and a better search engine (full-text with scoring)
There is now 147 articles including 14 use cases tutorials

You can check it here: https://support.appdrag.com/

Hey Thomas, indeed great idea!
I have just added the new section "How-to, Tutorials"

Hey Daniel,

since we use AWS Lambda under the hood, we are waiting for AWS to add it and we will get it the same day on AppDrag Cloudbackend

You can check this page for more details about supported Node.js versions:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/lambda-nodejs.html

Based on the latest update for Node 12, (https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/node-js-12-x-runtime-now-available-in-aws-lambda/)
There is a 6-7 months delay between on official LTS release of node and it's availability on AWS Lambda

I can see you have a script on the page that is crashing ...
and it's making crash the render of the page

Please try to remove your custom script (or fix it)

Also, instead of placing scripts directly in the source code of your page or in the head of the page, place it in a block of code, this way it will be safe

Hey Community, we are happy to announce that our CLI tool is now available on NPM
https://www.npmjs.com/package/appdrag

deploy your full-stack apps to the cloud. Work with your local tools (VS Code, Atom, ...) and build process, then push your compiled code to your app in appdrag

This tool is recommended for:

• Develop locally with your usual tools (VS Code, Atom, ...) and build process (Webpack, ...)
• Setup a CI/CD pipeline
• Setup an external backup of your app
• Export/Import full-stack projects

In that case DO NOT USE the option 404 if no result because this is linked to 404 page (as it name says :p)
and then handle in JS the situation with few 2 lines of JS, like if the fields are empty ... redirect to page X ...

Hey Franck,
yes it's possible, when you configure your scheduling select "Every-week" in the recurrence type dropdown
you can then indicate the days of the week and hour

Hey Daya

In our SEO assistant there is a button to Fix all duplicated H1 and replace them by H2
This should save you tons of times

Hey Daniel, we do have this option

When you edit a cloud function, there is a checkbox to tell if you want to include it in the documentation or not

@Pablo-Garcia here could you provide your full SQL query and code? probably your code is calling an SQL query ... but since you didn't provided anything we can only guess

also your partial syntax seems wrong

It should be:

SELECT * FROM Table WHERE column_name != 'YOUR_VALUE' AND column_name IS NOT NULL;

Hey Thomas,

after adding new elements with Ajax add this to init buttons and links:

setupButtons();
handleLinks();

This make sense, I'm adding it to our task list

@Daniel-Mulroy said in Video Galleries:

I would prefer this to be dynamic - so from the CloudBackend or YouTube playlist, it automatically fetches thumbnails, Titles, etc. and renders the gallery objects with the links already set. Keeping this a manual process is not desirable.

Hey Daniel,

in this tutorial we show how to generate a gallery with data coming from cloud backend database
https://academy.appdrag.com/FullStack-with-cloud-backend-Episode-5.html

It's based on the factory pattern, we call the api in JS to get the rows from the DB and we do a FOR loop on each row, and for each row we generate a gallery item and add it

In that loop you could also do a simple replace in the youtube url to shape it like you need (/embed/)

OR a total different way ... with dynamic datasources (repeating a column containing an iframe ...)

Hey Pierre, it seems to be a display mistake that we will fix soon

since you are creating an ssl cert for a subdomain, it needs to be in the url:
_eb094f4ff4de86fa7195f7300edc807f.decouvrir.teambrain.fr

Please create this key:
_eb094f4ff4de86fa7195f7300edc807f.decouvrir

with this value:
_ddf8e44ffa9d7f577c9d64ffa0cb06c6.wggjkglgrm.acm-validations.aws

Hey Laure,

1. You need to create a new page and configure it in the pages options to have NO header/footer
   In that new page you can design your popup content

2. on your home page drop a button to subscribe to your newsletter on the page and configure the link to open your new popup page inside a Modal popup (it's an option in the Link brush)
   edit your button with the config brush > go to Advanced (identification) > there set an ID like MyPopupButton

3. if you want to auto open the popup after 15 sec you can do this
   a) drop a block of jQuery code on your page
   b) double click on it, and paste this into the block of code

<script>
addEventListener('JqueryLoaded', function(e) {
   setTimeout(function(){
         $("#MyPopupButton").trigger("click");
   }, 15000)
});
     
</script>

@Bernard-Piette Hey Bernard, you can activate white label only on a domain you own directly on appdrag

I recommend you to purchase a new domain specifically for your white label, eg: konobo.cloud available for $2.77 for 1 year!
this way you won't mess with your main domain

the other option is to transfer your existing domain to us, once done you will be able to use a subdomain for your whitelabel, and www for your main website

but option 1 is simpler, faster, cheap, no risks ...

@ThomasD FYI we do have plans to add a premade auth system for Authentication, but as ALL premade components it will be limited in terms of features and customization.

Our process is to always focus first on having fully customizable solutions with source code and with cloud backend
then later we do create plugins based on that.
