Privacy rules: Getting started with Bubble (Lesson 6.8)

[@lksae123]

Thanks a lot for the video! I wonder how you take care of scanning the uploaded files for viruses. Is this an oob feature? How about .zip files and so on?

when I go to preview applications to look at Peters applications. Job title and term are empty and start salary is £0. But the Company logo, name, status and everything is all working. Can you advise on where you might think I went wrong if only some are working and some arent?

And the button cancel of the popup application ?

[@JackBondy]

Could we have done differently by creating in data type user an application type field which is also a list and write a different privacy rule?

[@gregory-john]

Sure, you can add a list of applications on a user record but that doesn't help us to enable companies to access those applications. It's better to have a standalone datatype for applications and then add access to that record. There might be the case that 3 or more different types of users will need access as well in the future.

If you close popup at the second step without clicking submit application than it will reopen at second step, I'm not sure that it is common practice, maybe need some logics to reopen first step with saved cover letter text )))

Heyyy… thanks a lot. Very useful information. Quick question, I’m working on an mvp for a money transfer app. I have built the logic for sending money from the app(So you basically enter the recipient’s email address in an input field and the amount you want to send.) What I can’t figure out here is how to update the recipients account balance in the database with how much was sent. Can you please help with any detailed suggestions 🙏

[@gregory-john]

For this type of app, you want to create 2 transactions. One for the sender (debit) and one for the recipient (credit). To get the recipient's balance, simply sum up the amount field of the list of transactions. For more help on this, drop a post on the Bubble forum.

@@gregory-john Hi, thanks for taking time to review this. I didn’t fully understand what you mean so I have left a detailed explanation of my question on the forum titled “How to update another user’s database “ I would appreciate if you could provide me a more detailed explanation with some examples if possible. Thanks in advance

Thanks for the video, I have a couple of questions, if you have a chance to answer them. 1. my PC login and my focus login on mobile don't work together - if I log in on PC, I don't log in on mobile, and if I log in on mobile, I don't log in on PC. Is this by default set up in bubble so that they don't work together, and if so, is there any way to make them work together? 2. on mobile, when I touch the input field to enter data such as email in the login/signup window that pops up, the login window enlarges in size and breaks the mobile screen behind it. I set the login window to a minimum width of 320 pixels and a maximum width of 340 pixels, and the signup window to a minimum width of 0 and a maximum width of infinity, but the screen of the mobile page is enlarged along with the login/signup window, and I have to use two fingers to narrow the page again after logging in/registering. Is it possible to prevent the popup from expanding when entering data in the mobile login or signup window? 3. I want to auto-generate a membership number for each user when they sign up, and when they press the sign up button, this number should be saved as a value in a pre-generated 'membership number' field. To do this, I added a text input to the signup window and applied the calculate Randomstring type to generate a 10-digit random number consisting of only numbers in the text box, which worked fine, but when I tried to use the 'create a new thing' command in the workflow to save it to the 'member' field that I had already created with the 'user' data type, I didn't see the 'user' folder that I had already created in the dropbox in the window where I select the save type. Other data types like place, fatename, etc. all show up as options in the dropbox, so why doesn't the user type show up in the dropbox? Also, is this the correct way to assign a member number to each member using a random string? Or is there another way to assign a member number to each member? 4. is it possible to pre-register 100 random nicknames as text in the 'member nickname' field of the data type "nickname", and when a member presses the signup button, it will automatically select one nickname at random from these names and save it in the 'nickname' field of the individual member?

His David, i'll try my best to answer; 1. Signing up or logging in means a session (via a cookie) is created in the browser. So that happens on whichever device you are on. 2. For mobile, make sure your text size is 16px or larger, otherwise the browser will zoom in. For other questions that don't pertain to this course, feel free to ask on the Bubble forum. Lots of people will be willing to help.
