Brent Visitor	Database?!? - 2007/04/29 20:30 Hi, the database thing is VERY COOL. I just used it for the first time 5 min ago and it's really fast, faster than php by far. I was wondering if your planning to add more of this support? I would very much like to be able to alter tables and let people register from within my game and also call more data. For example, I can now check users but what if I want to allow the user to fill out personally data? I can't call that unless I'm using loadvariables (which I can't use because that only works if the flash is running locally or on the host server) and I can't alter tables to record their info unless I use loadvaribles (same problem as before) or use a pop up (pop ups would work, and I don't mind using them to alter tables, but what's the point if I can't even call the info?). Speaking of the connecting locally thing, does anyone have any tips for how to prevent that or will there be any added features to prevent against this? If not it's cool because even the XLM Socket apps you have to pay for don't have protection against this I think. Also, I don't want people to find out the IPs I'm using to connect. I'm afraid of decompilers, does anyone know anyway to encrypt these IPs or something? Thanks! PS: Palabre is awesome!!!!!

Plat Sajack Visitor	Re:Database?!? - 2007/04/30 07:27 The fear of people using decompilers resonates with me as well, however, I'm not quite sure if it's even possible to make an .swf "decompile proof" so I'll just save myself the headache :) But anyways, I too would like to know if there will be any further database support. Well, just my two cents. Palabre is awesome!

Re:Database?!? - 2007/05/02 09:00 Hi

Well I could add more database functions in Palabre, but I'm not yet sure that it's a good idea.
The database part implemented is a security to make sure only "registered" people can connect. This can't be done in any other way.
All the load / save / register parts can be done through loadvariables and php scripts (if your'e not on the same server it's no big deal, just put a crossdomain.xml file and you're set)
I could implement something like in configuration :

Code:


 
request['selectInfos'] = "SELECT * FROM MYTABLE WHERE username LIKE [NICKNAME]"

But everytime you want to change an sql query you will have to restart Palabre.
And I'm quite sure that there will be cases where it won't be enough ...

I'll try to implement something like this :)

Next version might have more database support and static room creations :) Célio Conort

Brent Visitor	Re:Database?!? - 2007/05/04 00:42 Actually, that would be perfect. All I need is a varible to maybe call an array of varibles that represent thenumber of points a user has etc. Update is not needed though since, like I said, you can do that with pop ups. If you could just add maybe one varible that I could call and put in my flash that would be so great. Question though, couldn't you just do something like... request['selectInfos'] = "[query]" And you could write whatever you wanted in for the query? I do believe this would pose as a security thret, but people could always set their database settings to read only. I don't know man, it's up to you. If you could think of a way to mae palabre update databases and call ifno I think it would put it on the map since not a lot of stuff can do that.
