Is it possible to link a bluemix website with some kind of content mangement?
I'm trying to build a formular for an event registration website with bluemix.
It must be possible for the promoter of the events to decide which data the participants have to fill out. As an example for a business dinner there is no need to ask if he needs a flight or not and for another event it would be necessary to know it. So the content must be "adaptable" by the promoter because I don't want to write a new website for each event.
Does somebody know a solution for this problem?
Thank you very much for your help!
Deploy your site on IBM Containers and utilize the ssh capability to scp your content into the web app/site.
There are several possibilities:
create an application with a Cloudant backend. The data stored inside is free form. You then "just" need to define the valid form. I used angular.js and angular-formly (with the form definition stored in Cloudant, so you can edit it)
Use PencilBlue a Node.js CMS using a Mongo backend. Eventually it does all you need
Use a container with a common engine (e.g. Wordpress)
So you can act depending on how custom you want the solution to be. Let us know what works for you

I am working on a GRANDstack (GraphQL-React-Apollo-Neo4jDatabase) project and got told that it now needs an additional REST-API without making huge changes to the existing backend and GraphQL-API. And of course we have to be quick about it.
We found this (Apollo Gateway): https://medium.com/tkssharma/an-api-gateway-is-a-microservice-pattern-where-a-separate-service-is-built-to-sit-in-front-of-your-be4b16861d40
We plan on using this to set that new REST-API on top because we know we will need microservices soon enough as well. So I guess, this can be set up in some form with the already included Apollo. But I have yet to fully understand it.
Does anyone have some experience with this? Or does anyone know a project that implements this and can be checked out? I'd like more material about this that contains actual code. Especially about setting up such a gateway to put a REST-API on top.
If there is something easier and better documented than this Apollo gateway, please let me know! Open to ideas, but not complete overkills (Though we are not allowed to just put REST directly into our backend, it has to stay quite untouched).
Thank you very much!
In short: Our current backend offers GraphQL-API which works just fine. But one of our customers (in this picture "client") needs a REST-API. So we hope on using a gateway (?) which should be placed before/upon our backend in a separate docker container probably, takes in HTTP-requests from the user and then asks our backend in graphQL for the needed data.
If anyone ever stumbles upon this, we decided to do the following:
Since we have to be quick about it, we will set up another docker container, that contains a small server, which accepts data via a REST-API. Depending on the received data, it calls specific GraphQL-Queries/Mutations on our backend. Easy. No additional 3rd-party software. Simple just wins.
Have a good one!
So I started working on this CMS called AppDrag, (it's kinda like a Squarespace but for developers, where you like have access to the source code of all your elements) has anyone used it yet? I'm a bit stuck trying to figure out how to make a form call an API from my backend. I dragged an input field into my page and it doesn't give me the option to trigger it to my APIs.
I also had a hard time with that at first. You actually have to make sure you're dragging in a Cloud Backend Input, and not a standard Form Input. Then in your triggers, select Cloud Backend, and make sure to check "Enable".
Hey guys I wonder if anyone can help with this.
Now I am facing a problem at my company. We are developing a Magento 2 Community multistore for our customers.
The idea is to have several stores in the same Magento 2 installation, where each store is for each independent company. The problem is the integration with our ERP system. With the API REST we have full control in the installation, even if we are not with the admin master credential. if we run commands like this in postman: https://magentostore.com/rest/V1/orders?searchCriteria
we have all the orders in installation, all stores. So the companies with their credentials would have the same control and it is a very bad problem of security. The stores would have access to data from each other.
We have tried extensions for advanced permissions like Aitoc and Amasty but it's only works at a frontend level and does not take any effect in API REST. We know that Magento was not made for this kind of thing so my question is:
is it possible to change the API REST to filter the queries by store? and where can I find these API REST queries?
I'd thank you so much.
So you can override api calls using webapi.xml file in your module, Just point it in your service interface and change acl if you want. In your service interface inject the original one and add some your filter before calling original.
The second approach to write a plugin on OrderRepositoryInterface and add filter there (but first solution is better because this service is used not only in api so you may do not want to restrict all calls)
I hope that my title is descriptive enough. I am planning on creating a directory application for my town however I would like to to be a fully offline experience.
The idea would be to offer businesses a yearly subscription for listing their business in the directory.
My concept would be to create a web interface where they can pay for their subs and then enter all of the information into a their profile listing that would then be saved into a sql db.
I am wondering if it is then possible to take this sql database and then use it in the application by saving it into the application directory some how.
Basically my question is how could I do something like this? what is the best way to get them to enter their own information then me somehow build that database into the application?
Its not certain that I will even end up doing this but I am just really intrested in how to generate my own content for application like this that I can then use strictly offline.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
In my opinion , need to create some web application that provide information each specific client and client need to sync some update information with server and do caching.
If there is no need to update , use your cache . and If there are something to update . try to decide what is need to update and show them.
hope it helps you
I'm developing a site in Symfony, and I'm not sure what the best way is to handle this scenario.
I'm creating a party bookings system. Anyone can go to my frontend app and submit a new booking. Once they're finished, they'll just get a confirmation screen, they can't edit it. Easy.
Only certain users will be able to get to the admin app (it might be secured simply by being on an intranet, but that's not important, just assume it will be only accessible by admin users). They'll be able to view the list of submitted bookings. Easy.
My problem is around code re-use when allowing admin users to edit existing bookings. When you do generate-module in Symfony, the generated module (which as a newbie I'm assuming is a good example of structuring things) creates the form as a partial. I've had to customize this form a lot for my usage (lots of Javascript, etc), so of course I want to re-use this code, to be able to load an existing booking into this form. But there doesn't seem to be a way to share this partial between the apps (I've seen people mention making a plugin...but this seems complicated for this use).
I considered using an IFrame to load the form from the frontend and just passing an "id" parameter to load it in edit mode, but this would mean that the edit mode is not secure - anyone could go to the form on the frontend and pass this parameter to edit a booking.
I also considered putting all of the form display code (HTML, Javascript, etc) in a method on the form object, but this doesn't seem very MVC - all of the display code is then in the form. But this is only because I'm thinking of the form in the same way as a model - is that right?
I feel like this should be a common situation. You can share models and forms between apps, why can't you share this common form display code too?
Thanks!
You should reconsider having 2 applications in the first place. Not only you run into the code reuse problem, but also i18n, testings and other issues. I find it much easier to have 1 application with different bunch of modules for frontend and backend users. You can configure security per module. You can have one sign in form for all users and redirect them to appropriate module based on their credentials.
You can reuse partials between modules inside the same application, but you seem to be talking about two different applications (frontend and backend) so as far as i know the only way is to copy & paste the partial from one application to the other...
