Hi,
I want to create a record, get the ID from that inserted row, and then create another record in a separate table using the id.
To do this I am creating a POST_PROCESS script.
How do I get the ID result from the inserted record?

Database based roles should have limit on what “columns” should be returned. This would make life really easy in terms of not having to write post / pre script validations on which roles could access what data.
Database roles need to have more conditional script as more advance filters than just column level. Many a times a related filter needs to match. Its very inconvenient to write post scripts for each roles and make more queries. I feel if a validation script could be included as part of role it would be really great. This way, not just DB permission, but a custom access could be given at the ROLE level based on business requirement.
A more precise Google / FB auth using Native SDK tokens ( not kind of shadow user ).
User management is at single level only. It cannot be matched with Org/Department level or APP level. A lot of code needs to be written if we were to have multiple orgs under same instance. Most large API platforms have this. ( Usergrid, Apigee etc ).
HTTPS certificate management via the admin panel itself is very important for out of the box solution.
API documentation UI needs a lot of improvement. It just doesn’t fit in most of the laptop screens. Good we have large screens but definitely can be improved.
Cache ON/OFF switch on Admin panel.
Service Package groups - Would be great to have groups of packages. This way all the services could be grouped together.
Advance code editor. Current one is really not helpful if we want to do the changes right there. Although its improved from previous editor, I think there is more room for improvement.
Global files like Global lookup keys. Would be nice to have some small static files which could be referred as config files for the business logic.
Template Roles. Currently there is no way to restrict who can access which template ID. For example, any user having access to email can use any template to make a call. I might be wrong, but I never found any template based assignment for roles.
Thoughts ?

Bitnami on AWS 2.11 fresh install:
Was unable to get this to work on an existing instance, so have set up a vanilla instance and despite following the instructions here: http://blog.dreamfactory.com/alternate-user-authentication am still unable to get this working.
DF support have also been unsuccessful in diagnosing this, despite having full admin access to my installation, which leads me to wonder whether anyone has been successful in implementing this feature, and if so would be able to point out any pitfalls I may have fallen into?
Appreciate any thoughts

I get this error on user, system_custom, & cors_config tables.
Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes.
Is mysql 5.6 not officially supported anymore?
Ref: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1814532/1071-specified-key-was-too-long-max-key-length-is-767-bytesAfter some experimentation I’ve determined it to be the email length of 255. It seems when using a unique constraint and character set of utf8mb4 which is 4 bytes each that you hit the max of 767. So 767/4=191 which works as length for email.
In the other tables they are name & path which need a length of 191.

Hi , been trying to integrate our Nodejs application with Dream Factory. We rely on OAuth for authentication. For this we use Google OAuth. When OAuth is done at Dream Factory side, redirection happens to our application. But I am not able to get session token from Dream Factory. How to get session token from DF, when one uses Google OAuth ?

Hi
I have DF up and running, and my IOS app posts to a folder.My files are posted to /opt/bitnami/apps/dreamfactory/htdocs/storage/app/myfolder (which is my subfolder under files).
I would like to be able to access these publicly by URL so i can send as mms using Twilio.
I have set the config in the file services ‘public folder’ setting as app and experimented with various things in the public path but cant get it to work.
Ideally I would like to be able to access the files as say mysitename.com/myfolder/myfilename.jpg
Any clues?

Hi there!
I’m having an issue when refreshing the JWT token on my dreamfactory 2.11.1 bitnami installation.
I’ll just get an HTTP 401 “Token has expired: …” when I try to refresh it after the JWT time to live and before the Refresh time to live. Refreshing within the JWT time to live works, but that’s for sure not the right way to go…
Did the tutorial from here: http://wiki.dreamfactory.com/DreamFactory/Tutorials/Refreshing_a_JWTmy config seems to be ok, when I do GET /api/v2/system/environment as admin I see:
“df_jwt_refresh_ttl”: “20160”,
“df_jwt_ttl”: “60”,My steps to try to refresh the token:
login:
POST ‘/api/v2/user/session’ with payload ‘{“email”:“XXX”,“password”:“XXX”,“remember_me”:true}’refresh:
PUT ‘/api/v2/user/session’ with empty payload and the headers Content-Type, X-DreamFactory-Api-Key, X-DreamFactory-Session-Token set.
tried PUT ‘/api/v2/user/session?session_token=TOKEN’ too.
but I still get a HTTP 401 error saying “Token has expired: Session expired. Please refresh your token (if still within refresh window) or re-login.”Thank you in Advance for your suggestions what I could do.

Hi all,
I’m a complete noob when it comes to webservers and REST, so this is causing me a bit of a headache. I’m developing a Unity game that rewards players with a single, once-usable promo code that they can later exchange for certain services at a partner company. We decided to use DreamFactory to store and access the codes, but I really don’t know how to do any of this. Here’s what we need:
- our app runs natively on an Android or iOS phone, developed in Unity
- a user should be able to receive a new promo code exactly once
- to achieve this, the app sens a request with the API Key and the user’s phone number. A serverside script then checks if we’ve generated a code with that phone number before. If not, it returns a new one and remembers the phone number. If we have seen that number before, it returns the code previously associated with that number.
First of all, is this possible, and can someone point me in the right direction for setting all this up? Secondly, is the API key sent with the request in plaintext? Because if a user can get the API key easily by monitoring their web traffic, they could then generate an unlimited number of codes with bogus phone numbers. I read somewhere that I can enable HTTPS when setting up the server, but I don’t know how to do that. Would that even fix the issue?

Hi, I am at a loss as to why I am unable to POST successfully to my Dream Factory instance.

I’m looking to be able to use DreamFactory to create an alternative server to an existing simple javascript client. I need to be able to conform to the clients restful api scheme. As far as i understand there is no way to get rid of the requirement for APIKey entires in the url as this is how DreamFactory identifies an app.
I’m wandering if modifying DreamFactories Nginx config directly would cause problems / seems a good way to go - the issue would be upgrading I guess? Perhaps it would be better to add a second Nginx proxy seem like overkill?

Hi There,
I am using windows version of DF.
I am unable to update resource from event. below here is my event and code within event. I can READ and VALIDATE the values but when I try to update the same value during post.pre_process, its not reflecting in db.
Event Name: mysql mysql._table.{table_name} mysql._table.{table_name}.post.pre_process mysql._table.employee.post.pre_process
Code:
event.request.payload.resource[0].salary = 90;
Note:
I have enabled both check boxes “Active” and “Allow script to modify request payload”. I am sure that Event is triggering because I can validate the data and throw errors.

I am checking if a string contains the column value. For example, let us say, we have an org_id field. And there is a comma separated string of org_ids like: ,123,227,4,89,.
I want to write a filter query which does:
“,123,227,4,89,” contains “, + org_id + ,”The above is not SQL but just a pseudocode. Hoping if DreamFactory filter has something for this.

I’m organising a microservices hackathon in London and other locations around the world (Brzil, Peru, Paris, Berlin…). Does anyone want to join in? The event is designed to be a regular series of events where we explore the use of microservices between organisations. In the process we all learn a lot more about DreamFactory and grow the community!
The date is not yet completely fixed but we are looking at an early event mid-May 2018, and the event proper towards the end of July 2018. Participation will be possible online or at local venues.
A core unusual aspect of the hack will be the use of Zoom meetings and breakout sessions. We will use these to facilitate developers working together across authenticated microservices hosted on DreamFactory instances around the world.
Any thoughts, comments and suggestions appreciated.
