Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    Redirecting outside a mobile app and then back in to a desired panel in a ux

    Searched this topic and didn't really find a good answer to what seems like a pretty basic question. I am working with a third party payment gateway in this case Stripe. Stripe offers a sequence where they onboard connected accounts for you. So you place a link on your page, and redirect to their page sending identifying info with the redirect. They then redirect back to a url you provide after the onboarding at Stripe is complete .

    So this can be done using an a5w confirmation page that would have a specific url, with code waiting to handle the redirect. However this is a mobile app, and don't want to mix in a5w pages at least visible ones anyway. I want the redirect coming from Stripe to hit a confirmation panel in my app.

    Can this be done in a url? From what I gathered I would need js in a on render event to set a specific panel, but I am not controlling the redirect back to my url, so I guess I would have to test the redirect url in some way and use it to set my panel? Or is there something I'm missing. How might this be done?

    Seems this could be required with many third party services. Moving outside the UX to cyberspace and then back into various landing panels, or alternate ux's within my app would be handy.

    The returned url would have to be parsed it contains the result, but that seems secondary to getting to the right ux/panel within my app.

    Is your app a PhoneGap Build App... or a Web App running in a mobile device browser?

      Currently it is a web app, however intend to eventually rework as a phonegap app.

        As a web app (not a mobile app) I don't think you have any choice but to use a5w pages. Stripe is going to execute a URL... and that must hit an a5w page. Your a5w page doesn't have to be "visible"... as it can contain just XBasic code... which is executed on the server and never seen by a user.

          So then can I redirect from the a5w page back to the app
          and to a specific component, or ideally to a a panel in a particular ux?

            I doubt that. Possibly the best you could do is set a flag and info from the a5w page... probably set values in a table... and your app would be checking for that flag from the time it fired off the Stripe process.

              I see. So then what would be different in a phonegap mobile app? Could this be accomplished? Or would this have to be done with Stripe’s andriod and IOS tools? Hard to deliniate between truly mobile and a webapp.
              They are both using the same AA ux components. A little off topic but generally is there a source that explains the differences?

                You've not specified, but it seems you're using Stripe Connect. From what I've read in the Stripe Doc, a Web or Mobile app can make server calls (cURL --> XBasic) to utilize Connect. No need for URL re-directs or a5w page processing.

                I've used Stripe quite a bit... NodeJS and XBasic. Excellent Doc... excellent payment service.

                  I thought this might be relevant to redirecting to a specific panel in a app. This is a capability in Vue.

                  In a single-page application (SPA) one initial disadvantage was the inability to share links to the exact "sub" page within a specific web page. Because SPAs serve their users only one URL-based response from the server (it typically serves index.html or index.vue), saving bookmarks, or sharing links to a specific article would be impossible. To solve this problem front end routers provide artificial hash-based URLs originally split by a hashbang (#!) page.com/#!/ with HTML5 most modern browsers support routing without the use of a hashbang. JavaScript Libraries like Vue provide an easy Interface to change what is displayed on the page based on the current URL path -- regardless of how it was changed (whether by emailed link, refresh, or in-page links). Additionally, using a front-end router allows for the intentional transition of the browser path when certain browser events (i.e. clicks) occur on buttons or links. Vue itself doesn
